Ethingan's manga / #fantasy(19)

Funny and cute story with lots of action and fighting. Takes place is a virtual reality game where the female lead gets the offer to play as a guy and hence becomes the game's only transgender player. Apparently it shouldn't be allowed but she got an exception because she was the first character to log into the game, very unbelievable but whatever. The female lead is definitely a Mary Sue, though not worse than most male MCs in showmen mangas, and at least she's strong and funny.

It's alright/pretty good. Enjoyable read but nothing really stands out. Strong points for the female mc is that she's capable and not whiny, weak point is that she's a Mary Sue and kinda bland. Her relationship with the demon lord was pretty interesting though. Overall I enjoyed reading it, the art is good and it didn't annoy me in the way many shoujo do, but it also didn't have any real depth.

Good story with a surprisingly sad ending! Seems kinda generic at first with the heroine having an arranged marriage with a prince, but it actually pretty deep and deals with some serious issues like slavery and discrimination. The heroine is strong-minded and mature. Don't really remember the one she married tough even though he's also one of the main characters. But I do remember her friend/attendant Loki, very good character! There is also a small side story about a snake girl I think and even years after I read it it still haunts me. The ending is very sad. In a way I'm frustrated because it felt like it didn't have to end that way, but in another sense I applaud it for being able to make me cry.

A roller coaster of feelings! One of the few yaois where a bastard rapist seme TRULY regrets, apologises, repents and change for the better. I LOVED seeing his character development. I think it helped that they let it take time and that the uke didn't forgive him immediately, but actually hated him and let him suffer before eventually starting to forgive him. And only after the seme had changed. The characters are really good! They feel real. Their feelings, developments and interactions make sense. The story focuses on several characters, which works, since they have interesting stories too. One negative is that it's quite confusing sometimes. Especially in the beginning. The art is beautiful. A bit too skinny but it's still great! How they play with light and shadow is beautiful. Their expressions are also really good! Their feelings come across clearly without being too exaggerated or stiff. Overall I like how the story manages to mix cute and funny moments with serious, emotional and even horrible scenes.
