Agathe's manga / #dark(79)

35 - sordid, probably counter productive, with cute MC and team You hardly can pretend to denounce gambling when half chapters are showing it off In this story « unfair «  is pushed to the max and there’s no way a single individual with no connections would actually achieve anything against a mob of powerful heirs That makes for a rather depressing story Maybe I’ll check the ending in a few years

14 - heavy - the first chapter border unbearable and the following are rather evil too It’s hard to believe a kid who’s scared both physically and mentally would be so bullied - it really is dreadful to see small kids, adults and later teens being bullies, going after a blind boy - to me it feels like a major plot hole … No that we know some people are hunting the black violent being inside the boy, I’m rather sad, the boy is nice, kind and really deserves some good and happy , but it doesn’t look to promising There seems to be a good plot going on (but it’s obviously dark) So maybe I’ll wait for the end to see if good karma also has its say - there’s a bunch of nice characters growing around the MC, so not all hope is lost ?

51 - 4.5 - if it was a zombie story, your think you’ve already seen it all The difference is that the humans are not zombified, instead, they are reduce to 50% of their size It does make enough difference to change the dynamic of the obstacles - in the same manner, the fact that all characters are granted one or more power from the start is providing interesting dynamics Lastly it a « game » setting « , with a superior being managing the hecatomb with new set of rules every now and as it’s obviously an adversary, it rewards humans killing each other’s (not great) - it’s still a mystery to ascertain if it might reward high survival numbers The characters are interesting th MC is a good guy, and his surrounding is nice : for a starter the fact that a granny a kid or a mum might become part of his team is really different and interesting The vision of a future can also be a very good narrative tool and is well used so far So while dark by nature, it’s still a very good read, so far now so angsty that it would be unbearable Good balance, good pace interesting and original, it’s a very nice surprise :)

23 - not too original but fun enough to pass the dark and gloomy background Both the dad and prince are so badly misunderstood, it’s both fun and pitiful I deeply dislike the egomaniac ex, he’s sick in his mind, i’m a bit afraid this is not comic relief, and in that case it’s seriously heavy So this could be good if not to serious and keeping the fun It would be dreadful if it was to become serious and darker than it already is

32 - it’s at the same time evil( the grownups) and precious (the kids) I’m more and more rooting to see her save the ball :p

130 - triumph of good and healthy values ( life over revenge,, blessings over vengeance, trust and companionship over doubt and greed, great family values, love and care (to defeat bad ones)… amazing female characters It’s very pretty, and expressive, but on the slow side The vilains are too much, and pretty stupid But the good people are so good, yet i can’t say it’s too much :) In the beginning i was very impressed, but as it goes on, i’m a bit disappointed with the story, it’s seems to light, it is diluted with lots of nightmarish memories and happy family time (very cute, but too much make things slow) Lastly the latest arc make little sense, it’s the third time her family attempts to burn her, and the side characters would be beyond stupid to bargain anything important with them knowing how bad they were to the MC I hope to see it getting more interesting because it’s awfully cute at the ‘monster’s house » The storyline seems to become darker and darker :/

13 - excruciatingly whiny, complicated and dark The regretful narrative are burdensome

23 - super pretty, but deeply dark. - kind of slow, probably with a plot to come I love the story of the goblin egg, but the royal take on it is truly evil If they ever believed in a goblin, they should know who truly is one Again, royalty being is a plague, it’s too heavy to bear The MC is super cute, but she could seriously grow - she’s handicapped both physically and mentally limited for the total lack of education and the dreaded ways of her education - that again makes little sense The goblin king is still elusive after 2x chapters, obviously the plot comes from there, as he won’t be left in a peaceful love relationship Lastly how refreshing to see a couple who enjoy each other’s intimacy equally, and not a female victim of male greed bearing with it out of « love » or need

25 - very very dark, the MC is also truly on a villainous path - it’s quite disturbing in many way, but well written so far This is typically a story where i’d be more curious for spoilers, and depending on these, read or not

18 - well, it’s a war story, so dark and ruthless It’s also a 8 th princess born from a polygyny kingdom, so it’s dark and gruesome Overall the mc is interesting, but the story is angsty ang gloomy
