apopoi's manga / #Family(4)

A psychopathic and sadistic ml to start us off for our day:) how fantastic..the og novel is something like a harem bl novel except that instead of the og mc enjoying the life of a polygamy..he gets caught up in endless miserable situation with countless men after him with major red flags..the worst of all is our current ml..so the mc knows of this as she have read the book and now tries to fix it by her stepping up for her lil bro but we all know how this will end up..also why is she taking everything so lightly..one second it seems like her bro is her whole life, other times she sees to discard it..a rapist and harasser for a crossdresser ml..Dropped

Currently at Ch10, it is a simple story with clear cut storyline with the good guys and the bad guys. Tho the MC is technically an adult, she seems like a child I guess cuz she doesn't have any friends and an abusive aunt with a manipulative "friend" (the second prince) who bit her, he a snake literally and figuratively. The MC is a squirrel in a family of lions..don't know know that happened but they mentioned she is a half-human so that seems to relate to something. It is a story that is derived by misunderstandings left and right and is used as a narrative to further the plot.

I loved this when I read it with my sister. It's not as creepy as I thought it would be and doesn't border on pedophilia or power dynamic like other mangas with large age-gap. This feels more real and the characters emotions feels more genuine and reasonable. The ML struggling with his life and his siblings after the death of their parents and finding solace in the work of the MC (she's a writer). The little bro was cute too. I would honestly support him and MC too if that ship had any chance to sail. He caught feelings for her when they were children, after his parent's death he crouched down crying infront of their graves in the rain and the MC quietly sat by his side holding an umbrella sheltering him from the rain. No words had to be spoken and that panel warmed my heart.

Well isn't this the most stinking adorable shit ever!?! I like everyone, I wish the dad would be more honest but he's a tsundere so I get it. I like all the brothers too. I like the mom but I wish she was more present. I was pleasantly surprised by her having an actual responsibility rather than just a title. I like that they are so in love. I wish the MC trusted the mage a bit more since she loves her so much. I like the shadow/secretary man too. I like his ruthless and gentle side. I like that the MC's past life ties in with this life.. Like the fact that she had a chronic illness so that's why she is so eerily calm about death and wants to treasure each moment spent with her family. How she gives importance to little things and finds joy in it, like running without feeling pain etc.
