apopoi's manga / #fantasy(205)

Now this feels like just fucking and fucking. Tbh I have just read upto 5 chapters so far out of the 10 but many people are unsatisfied with the ending, saying that it is disjointed and messy. So it kinda is like a rush ending. The main complaint was not enough scenes or moments with the male lead, Kendon and the mare being annoying. I do like the style of the bottom and like that he has multiple sex partners as well. In the latest chapter that I read, ie ch5 we found out that Kendon likes Risbel which was obvious from the earlier chapters and I can see why people are complaining about him paying more attention to Berner, he is trash through and through. Also love the added complex of the MC who is the senior feeling frustrated that his junior will surpass him or perchance already have.

This is absolutely fascinating! The MC being so different from his past self makes the story seem more real and relatable in a sense. So the Cardinal turned out to be the King's twin younger brother...I knew that there was a connection between the two but this was unexpected. I even had the thought that they looked alike but I left that to be the author's style since some authors have a distinct style that appears across their various work *ahem* Love Shuttle..The King's love for Ian is so noble and pure that I feel cleansed just by witnessing it and the Cardinal's is more twisted, possessive and dark. He imprinted himself on the young Ian and brainwashed him. So while Ian feels so much love towards Jack, he still feels guilty and indebted to his 'saviour'. The little kid was so cute but ended up being used as a pawn to lure out Ian. Ian being so anxious and on edge about Brian and him feeling jealous is valid since the tales about their bond and love is rampant in the kingdom. At first I brushed it off but him feeling that way is normal considering where he came from and how he lived until now. If he fails in regaining his memory, he won't become the 'Brian' that Jack cares so much for and he feels that his love is directed towards 'Brian' and not 'Ian'. Also their personalities are polar opposites, Brian seems to be a nice childhood and grew up being loved while the same cannot be said for Ian. Um..Sienna I know that you mean well but u are proving yourself to be a nuisance. The bodyguard though I like, since he is so collected and does his duty well. Brian essentially made up the King's personality. He taught him things from the scratch. How to handle people, how to feel and even his demeanor towards people is based on Brian himself.

Oh Shit! I forgot to put this in my reading list, my bad! So the ml is a sadistic freak who is learning to be more empathetic with the help of his two friends. Will the male friend turn out to be a world or novel traveller like the both of them? I hope so. Um..the love interest is a bit fucked in the head. I don't know the whole deal with him yet since he might have some more history with the ML that we are not yet aware of, like that scene where he wore a uniform of some sort or where he was a magician..but him being his Lil bro (not by blood) and being able to read his mind was funny

The cover screams tension, plot and psycho!! UPDATE (5/3/23)Pffft this was not what I expected at all. The above statement was my initial impression of this manga. The MC being a Kansai person and getting angry at the preconception that Kansai people are funny and go along with the flow while he isn't both was hilarious. Osaka people in particular they say are weird and have a strange sense of humour like Asahi from Treasure so...The cannibal guy, Lev freaked me out so much but he was raised like that by his parents and being told that humans want to eat human meat instinctually but settles for pork and beef was fucked up. He has an obsession with Dieter for sure, his involvement towards his misfortune is central. Him eating his dad's corpse (I think) and telling his mom not to bury him in the forest in such a shallow hole etc was chilling. He didn't want it to be found out since he wanted Dieter to remain his friend. Also him egging his mom on by saying that he looks like his dad or talking about his strength saying it hurts when he was only pulling him along. All of it accumulated to her trying to kill him and him ending up killing her, her telling him that it was not his fault was heartbreaking. So Dieter is 30 years old, huh? I mean the beard gave it away but he was older than I expected. Anna is such an interesting case, first cross-dressing as a girl and his mental illness. He freaks me out tho. I can't believe that Lev was the one who put that complex onto Dieter and was the reason he put on that silly mask, even recommending that he made the mouth like his. Taichi likes Dieter now but him hilariously going with the flow and his antics are so funny. Also their dynamic is so wholesome ironically. I loved reading this

Oh! I've read this. The MC is very selfish and very very concerned and partake in the beauty standards of this world. The only reason she took on the 'hero' role is because she experiences extreme pain if she ignores the sufferings of the commoners etc. There are several love interests but I reckon the ML will be the black-haired Duke( I know typical right). He is also the fiancee of her frenemy; the two are in some type of competition it seems. It is a walking cliche but sometimes that's what you need. No lies detected.

Cringe alert!

Finally a story where a reincarnated lady acts her age and is uncomfortable with being treated like a child. She gets uncomfortable when coddled and looked after as a child, her mentality is that of an adult's afterall. Her parents are the ideal parents, her father the Prime Minister and her mother some kind of knight. Yet they are not neglectful, instead they are very doting and caring. It is said that the MC takes after her mother, while her Lil sis takes after her mom. Though I personally don't see it, they look identical to me. The ML is the og second male lead so he has the personality for it, being self-less and sacrificing his needs for the others. He also made friends with influential people just because their parents held important positions and therefore would greatly serve his dad and thereby the empire. He takes it as if it's natural when he was told that he would be marrying the MC since she is from one of the three families; the guardians, the purifiers and the healers. He belongs to the first and the MC to the last. Btw this is a tragic story written by the MC (supposedly) so she feels guilty for the things happening to the characters and feel love for the characters she created. Also she didn't immediately accept her new family, tho it looked that way. She still thinks and is reminded of her mom and older brother (who teases her yet cried as she died while holding his hands...this some trauma inducing shit). The reason she naps a lot alludes to psychological factors, she still hasn't accepted her new environment. And she doesn't nap anymore since the og ml appears, the maid thinks it's because she needed a friend but the MC says he doesn't give her the time to nap. I like how she naturally warmed up to the male lead and treats the og ml like a baby since the poor baby was abused all his life. Another thing worth noting is that og ml will not fall for MC, but the sister as is predetermined or predestined(that sounds better). Also this story I believe hints at the possibility that this world isn't actually the creation of the MC by the priest's words. The one that can alter destiny, that's what they say about the MC. She was also named after the Goddess of Comedy whom her parents saw a play on before her birth. She would have been named after the male god if she was a male, since there were only two people in the play thereby playing up the uniqueness of it. I like the MC as she is now, her rabbit and her are adorable. I love how she plays the demon queen and has already attained two underlings out of the four. The first being the og ml(since he said it didn't matter whatever he was when the MC asked him to be her friend) and the second one her maid. Her maid regained her will to live after seeing the MC, she had lost her son and had been abandoned (I think) by her husband, so she was to commit suicide as by the book. But since the existence of the MC is a variable and an anomaly in itself, her surviving changed the flow of the book.

The start hooked me right in and I read through the chapters in a flash. Then, it felt like the author started losing their vision for the manhwa, because sometimes things felt so cliche. When they were talking about friends and family, the way the subject matter was approached felt so childish and without a strong foundation like the bald guy from 'Fast and Furious' kept saying 'For Family' or some shit like that. I liked the ML when he was a child and I still like him for his thirst for knowledge. Ofcourse he's OP but it felt like watching someone who was truly passionate and would do anything and everything for magic YET the story started falling flat after a great start. His friendship with Rian although cute felt so cliche and inorganic. The way he was willing to die because they are friends, and the way his whole family sentenced him for execution over that silly thing felt like a necessity for the plot and not for the flow of the story. It just feels like this is something that is scripted, rather than a living and breathing world. His interaction with the Headmaster was my favourite. It felt like a genius recognising a genius. Their interaction, I wanted to absorb and memorize every moment of it. The FL is the tsundere redhead, the same one that traumatized the ML. Her thinking pattern was so anime-like that I felt like ripping all my hair off. If she just apologised instead of making all those mundane threats and made him give her coffee every morning to make it seem like (to the public) that he has feelings for her so when she inevitably rejects him, his words would fall on deaf ears. The logic is not reasonable. Instead of this roundabout way of doing things, just apologize. He isn't the type to spread rumours, she is the one who is spreading this like wildfire from her unnecessary actions. Also him going over to the place the 'kidnappers' abducted(supposedly) the MC was so... Ofcourse she got into trouble because of some boys who couldn't handle rejection. They used anti-magic so she couldn't defend herself, then the MC appears and by making his spirt zone more solid, he was able to deflect it. Then the teachers appeared as per the MC's request to the redhead's friend then they calmed the situation down(not sure how to put it). Then they regret, even tho they attempted murder. Sure we will gloss past that. But I hope that there would be character growth for the fl but she made things worse, saying that he is her boyfriend so that they won't pry into their business and find out about their secrets. I thought she had a moment of realisation when she was truly in danger, that she thought 'Is this how he felt then?'

Spoiling a girl is such a huge turn on. I do love spoiling an abused and wronged girl but this just lacks braincells on so many levels that I can't take it no more. The Duke's son, the Prime Minister's son, a prospective knight etc are all at the beck and call of a single woman. Their justification are stupid and boils my blood, you attended a ball holding another woman's hand while engaged with another(that too in her presence) and get angry at her for trying to call off the engagement saying that since she's an Earl's daughter, she should know better? That knight of his glaring at her and pointing his sword at her because she made her cry and thereby she is at fault(?). Seriously? A male Karen, even that nasty haircut. Also Idk what I expected from a shoujo manga but for such a fearsome existence that would bring about the destruction of the world, they sure talk casually to our ML 'Ragna'. They are fearful yet keep on talking back to him. Even the Emperor is dumb, you can't kill that brainwashed trash even at the request/threat of the Evil Dragon? And why is he so complacent? And for the son of the Prime Minister, there is no logic to that bestie of that bitch. The whole country is being threatened and then offered protection because of the presence of a girl and yet you kidnapped her and try to kill her? Also that bitch being a saint is just plain rubbish, her being a hidden saint because there cannot be two saints at the same time? Yeah right... Also her being a saint doesn't make all the other stuff vanish into thin air. Why are people bending left and right for her? Also they treat her as a god and revere her. I mean saints are supposed to be like the messenger of God (so equivalent to God?) and yada yada and their presence bring peace and whatnot. Yet it still isn't a strong enough justification for all this mess. Muse not sharing a glance to those trash, I get but I want to mutilate them and make them eat that bitch flesh or something. Call me a sadist but.. Also Ragna being so cute was a plus. I don't get why he didn't kill them when he had the chance tho, I mean Muse did tell him not to do it but he has the memories of all her lives now so why? He was actually very patient and trying to be civil with those bitches. But a dragon is an existence where such formalities are not required. Also I dropped it after the story progressed towards the school. Because we all know the cliche drama that will take place. I read upto Volume 1 Chapter 5.1 Aaahhh! I changed my mind. This has taken a complete 180. The MC isn't sane anymore because of some ceremony (I didn't read that part, some comments said it) and now has like black dull eyes and lives solely for Ragna. And Ragna that despicable dragon, like I don't understand that mindset. You fell in love with her for her noble mindset and virtue yet you strip that away. She is only an empty shell who is obsessed with him as much as he is with her now. The scene of Laura (she is isekai'd I knew it, she transferred souls so she took the body of the real hidden Saint and brainwashed those dudes) being tortured by Muse's older sister(I guess she has siblings now, her older brother was also introduced) by breaking her fingers one by one, being submerged into water etc was cruel. But since she's a saint, she heals from it but still feels the sensation of pain etc. The thing that made me furious and disturbed me was her being raped by Alfred's body (his soul was eaten by a demon, don't ask questions) and then being raped by numerous demons so she ended up pregnant. In only a few days, her belly had swollen up and some gnarly created emerged from her *pukes* belly and it ended up dying. Also the ML manipulated her to think it was his child to which she desperately clutched to it saying that it was his child (she loves him) to which he laughed at her saying that it was a chimera. Now Muse is there in all of this with a blank stare and she even said she doesn't care but seeing all kinds of emotions anger, disgust etc being displayed to her from him made her jealous and that it should be directed towards her only. With her hand clasped around his neck, she says 'I might love you so much that I might kill you' to which he lovingly stares at her also repeating 'I also love you so much that I might kill you'. It also said he was shuddering(in delight probably, this freak) but the screen just said shudder without any clear indication ( it was the moment she tried to choke him so I assumed). I hate this!!! Also the girlie that I called a bitch(sorry, even u didn't deserve it, no-one deserves to be raped and tortured) was executed. Then the two freaks got married with Ragna saying some shit like he won't dedicate or promise their wedding to God with her saying the same thing. My take : Muse doesn't love him, her dependence on him made her believe that she does. Also he was the one that saved her at her lowest points, so of course this whole situation could happen. I skipped to the last four chapters and I can't recognise her. She seems like a puppet that exists only for Ragna and he thrives on it. Ahhhhhhh this leaves me in a sour mood

Bad message tho..girls don't be tryna turn no gay man straight!! The translation sucks in this website so I went to Tachiyomi but there were only 2 chapters. Granted the translation was not an issue and I could understand what was being said but like I thought, this just isn't my cup of tea. The prologue itself scream red flag and ignorance, homophobia and whatnot but the story itself is garbage as well. The MC seems dumb and acts like a child, I'm sure she'll come up with a "foolproof plan" but we all know that the two will end up together anyway. The mother is like a combination of all the other villainess trope too
