Asmodian's Contract
Yurisina (a demon) transmigrates to the body of Princess Marianne who died because of a poisoning that was devised by the Queen. For the daughter of a demon king, Yurisina is too nice. I’d prefer it if she was ruthless and evil, same thing with her parents. Aren’t they the demon rulers or some shit? Why do they act so nice? At first, I thought that Yurisina would be powerful enough to get kill the Queen immediately but I was wrong. They were piling on a bunch of random things and straying from the plot. Some of the characters are full of bullshit. She spends more time fooling around with her knights than actually getting revenge. Because of that, the conflict between the Queen and Yurisina is a complete bore. That one knight named Gaston annoys me. What’s with the sudden romance between him and Sir Sarah? Wtf. “The song that Sir Sarah was singing—was the favorite song of Gaston’s ex-lover.” Why did the author want to add some hopeless romance between Gaston and Sir Sarah? Like… go write that somewhere else as a separate story. I don’t like our FL, she’s sorta obnoxious. And it’s so painfully obvious that the blonde prince is already in love with her even though they’ve only met for less than a week. Eric (our ML) has a traumatic past but I don’t care for it. He has zero personality traits. He’s very aloof and just… there? Now that I think about it, Marianne is the only one who looks mildly appealing and everyone else looks like a dump-truck. There are also some anatomical problems in the art. The knights who should be bulkier than Yurisina, literally look as skinny as her. Shouldn’t knights have muscles from training? I don’t understand why they look so thin when standing next to Yurisina. I like how each character has a distinctive face. Otherwise, the art is nothing that can save the shitty story-line.
How to Hide the Emperor’s Child
Gosh. The male lead’s personality is beyond horrible, it makes me want to drop this story every time he opens his mouth. The story is extremely lacking in terms of plot. The female lead is strong and just wants to live a normal life with her child but all of a sudden, the male lead comes along and fucks all of that up. I highly doubt that he’ll ever be able to redeem himself. This story is so shit.
Shirahime-syo
The art is soooo good. I love the way the women in these stories were drawn, they all look like goddesses. The way their hair was drawn is just so pretty. Others might think that it is too excessive but in my eyes, it’s gorgeous. All the stories in these 5 chapters are connected to a woman named “Shirahime”. I especially liked the 4th chapter, it was beautifully written. I noticed that these stories are in someway related to the concept of soul mates, life-long companions, and lovers who await each other. Quite a short but simple read.
Skip! Yamada-kun
A lazy high school student earns the power to warp time. However, the catch is that he cannot turn back time and that he will have no memories of the time period that he has skipped. He ends up getting stuck in a “time crevice” but the time guardian manages to pull him out. He wants to go back to that time crevice in order to watch suspense TV shows forever. He then proceeds to skip until the end of his lifetime in order to step into that time crevice again, he doesn’t succeed. It’s a pretty interesting concept but it could’ve been utilized better if the MC wasn’t a fool. The plot is a bit nonsensical. The way that a random “time guardian” jumped out of nowhere and gave Yamada powers is ridiculous, I’m not buying it. I am annoyed that we had to follow through it with such an unambitious main character. He got what he deserved and he even ended up watching less television than the average Japanese person. Lesson learned, don’t abuse your time warping powers so you can watch more suspense mystery shows like an idiot.
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
I like this.The story has a really intricate plot and storyline, it’s hard to summarize when there are over 500 chapters in the novel. The characters are absolutely captivating, I’m obviously referring to Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk. Normally, I don’t like it when the main characters have reincarnated numerous times but this is different. The author really shows how Yoo Joonghyuk’s mental health deteriorated throughout his regressions, his character is honestly admirable. I also love Kim Dokja’s character. I was doubtful about him because I was unsure if he would be able to fit into the new supernatural world setting, but he played his character perfectly. There are a collection of unique obstacles that KDJ had to face and I was really rooting for him. But I also like the fact that he lost several battles because it’d be a downside if he won too much. I’m glad that they made YJH overpowered instead of KDJ. I liked how KDJ earned his abilities instead of having everything handed to him. The side characters also play an important role in the story rather than KDJ taking on everything by himself. The art is alright and the fighting scenes are exceptional. I hear people crying and saying that there is angst in this story but I don’t see it, I think it’s more about action. I relate to Kim Dokja as a fellow reader. Us readers get to see the exact feelings, emotions, and thoughts of all the characters in the story. This goes for Kim Dokja too, except he’s actually in the novel. I didn’t mark this as Isekai because it’s more like the novel came into real life, not him transferring into the novel. So that’s really unique and I honestly like the idea more than Isekai. I never knew that I liked the apocalypse-trope so this is a new experience. Overall, very interesting.
Virtues of the Villainess
I could go on a gigantic rant about how much I hate this story, but I’ll spare you the time. I hate the female lead. The story is dumb and included a whole lot of baseless romance. I got so much second-hand embarrassment and I was just skimming through the chapters without even reading the dialogue. Bullshit plot that I don’t care about. That’s all there is to it.
Card Captor Sakura
I used to be obsessed with the anime of this when I was younger, it’s not as good as I remember but it’s a magical girl fighting spirits and collecting them in cards. What more could an 8 year old girl want? The art panels in this are low quality and the animation in the anime is average. Giving this high marks because of my inner child.
