Meridian's manga / #Slice of Life(6)

Pretty interesting and unique. A good amount of detail went into our MC's passion, and it's definitely constantly important for the story. It combines well with the romance, both are pretty evenly matched in terms of time given. Also, what's great is that things don't always work. Some teas have negative connotations because of what's popular in society, some only work for specific groups of people, a totally normal name becomes risque and harms sales. Interesting and super fluffy, no angst and misunderstandings here! Just tea!

Pretty typical accidental pregnancy storyline, most of the plot consists of the MC being unable to accept her feelings and trying to get through that. The antagonist setup was painfully obvious, our villainess was pretty much a throwaway doll for development with all the personality she had. It can definitely get frustrating at the beginning because the MC pretty much just goes through a bunch of events and reacts with 'oh no, but I can't because I'm so sure it'll turn out badly' every single time. I do like their relationship later on, though, so it wasn't bad in the end.

Fun, overpowered MC that finally gets the life he deserves after he died unfairly the first time. You can't even be upset at how lucky he is because there is so much effort he puts in behind the scenes. Plus, this life was literally made by a god so that he wouldn't have to suffer anymore. All that and there was still well-written conflict where the stakes were still life-threatening and would've been worse for others who didn't have MC's tenacity and kindness. One of the best things in the story was the villain. I love me a deep, three-dimensional antagonist. Every step of the way you want him to overcome his trauma so he can be friends with the MC. As much as I understood him and felt sympathetic, I'm also glad that the author didn't redeem him. Sometimes simple separation and acceptance is a more fitting ending than redemption or damnation.
