crystalvmin's manga / #Isekai(4)

(CONTAINS SPOILERS AT THE LATTER HALF) I like the premise of this manhua a lot ! But it was confusing at first because I think the early translations weren't too good so it might be easy to misunderstand some dialogues and scenes, but I am grateful that the translations after chapter 60 did get much better and much easier to understand because this story is interesting enough. (SPOLERS START HERE) The only thing that was iffy for me was that at times within the 2nd world, it did come across as borderline shotacon or can be misconstrued that way with how much qin xian was becoming the target of wang yi's S tendencies when he transformed into a kid; and you definitely couldn't even interpret it as something innocent because he had even admitted these were "perverted thoughts". Even going back to the 1st world, some parts were hard to read because qin xian was definitely still a minor (17 years old, was it so hard to at least make him 18 T^T) with a 5-year gap with wang yi but there were a lot of scenes which were not appropriate for minor qin xian (that bartending job that caters and satisfies special guests, like no). Anyway, this could easily have been a 5-star manhua if 1) the earlier translations were better (I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be ungrateful and I know translating is hard work, but it is what it is), and 2) if the parts I had mentioned were altered or not included at all because they already had a lot of chemistry and we know they would've progressed into something more as the story went on. On a more positive note, I genuinely think Qin xian being a yandere isn't bad at all too (since he's not really the murderous type) because I think it fits well with wang yi's personality and him having S tendencies, they're both odd in their own ways. Plus, I think that the diversity of the novel genres tackled within the story is actually really cool. I'm excited to see how this story unfolds and I'll be waiting for updates.

I was almost on the brink of dropping this, but the story did develop better when season 2 came; the premise of the story is also really interesting. First of all, I love how Sunwon is wild and sex-starved but I do have problems with how he gets his sex (SPOILER) through coercion and I know it’s not real, but with a story that relies on his ability to bullshit and become a god of, technically, a cult, it just feels weird and uncomfortable for me to laugh at his antics when irl there are a lot of sexual mistreatment and lack of sexual knowledge in cults and religious factions. But at the same time as the story progressed, as a person and not as an impostor god, I liked how the author tackled Sunwon’s hypersexuality with which seems like he had a past of being raped and victim-blamed and I really felt sorry for him. I don’t think topics like this are commonly fleshed out in BL too so I was surprised. It was really hard to read the panels of Vercion raping him so I didn’t read that at all and I thought was showing the rape really necessary, I’m still 50/50 on that. On a more positive note, I love Albis so so much and how he’s progressed throughout the story as I’m writing this comment and I’ll just have to say that he’s in the running for best boy along with Risa and Karl !! I’ll be waiting for updates.

Ahhhhh omg hyeonjin is too precious I can’t honestly protect that boy. I don’t hate mujin (yet) so at this point I want them to be a throuple even though I know that’s near impossible cos mujin’s ass too possessive but I really am hoping jaewoo ends up with hyeonjin because they just make me feel all giddy nd shit. Ngl, I really did think jaewoo was going to be a top (short kings can be tops too !!) even though he follows the formula for the classic BL bottom, but looks like the BL universe had different plans for him lmfao.
