Agathe's manga / #dark(79)

22 - it’s hac(d to see where it goes so far, but obviously our MC has some huge trauma to overcome, an immense sense of guilt and loss So despite some cute, there’s also a lot of dark We’re again in a very unhealthy palace setting

24 - magic and goblins exist in some medieval time Influenced by an evil shamaness the king became a threat to his kin, and our MC has to survive the evil summoned to destroy her - then a mysterious ancient spirit comes in to help It seems full of dark fate and people who plays with it - something she’s supposed to die, and i guess the spirit is supposed to sacrifice to save her They also both seem to have the fate of the world on there shoulders which is too much So it’s at the same time rather interesting, but also very dark and potentially too heavy

78 - slow

89 - hard to read, but a mix of cute girl find awkward dad (hopefully not to heavy on th awkward) with apparently a plot and a(sad ?) story behind … and lots of magic !! It’s - again - quite heavy in the child abuse department - not the worse, but already too much Later it becomes heavy on the yan yan dad, he’s insufferable, no one can approach his daughter : how can she make friends - i don’t know if it’s supposed to be fun , but it’s long, rude, and disturbing ? I might also not be so fond of the potential love trangles in. Store for the girl (3 boys so far ?) Lastly the shopping disease brought to the new fashionable high of «  let’s buy the shp » when one need a single item, it just so full of thee sickening values … money and buying make « happiness «  - did i forget, of course, you need to eat cakes too ! Pfff so much for rather little in the plot department — so ok you have some cute but it’s frustrating

10 - very painful, painful memory, painful future, bittersweet relationships, heavy burden and half curse blessings, painful age gap Did i say painful ? I’m bored by another royal, add to that she’s a chosen one, a saintess - and you have someone impossible to relate She’s also an orphan, her kingdom is on deserted icy mountains, what else ? The art is pretty, the characters are moving, between the art and writing, it’s emotional and feels like it could be deep I just need more sugar It’s probably good, but it’s heavy

29 - 2.5 - quite a few humans want destroy what they fear - and they do fear what ‘s different The MC has some strong psychic habilities, the kind that was never seen before, and so he’s the object of fear and sometimes hatred of a few people He’s obviously a good kid willing to do good, but the author have him meet people who want to use him, control him or kill him - the bunch of good guys and beasts who accept him and like him seems to be counted as none, as if only the bad and painful things mattered Being abused as a kid makes him pessimistic - ok, not great, but he’s also super sensitive to other’s pain, would they be people, beasts, monsters or a cactus ! And that’s the nice thing - the caring part That’s why i don’t get the part where he have a soldier kill himself … ok it’s « self defense « , but he cares for any life, if his power had gone out of control it might have made sense, but would have brought him despair, because of his enormous empathy - But in that situation, it’s presented as a dominating power that is controlled by his will ( a fourth power btw, as if the first three were not enough !!) i really can’t see how he would order them to kill themselves when he could have just frozen them and change their heart This was a nice cute and interesting character, it was interesting with just one power (reading and understanding all kind) - i was good with a second and third (connecting and healing heart - coming at a cost ) - the dominating thing is absolutely too much - the second power (connecting heart could do as much as share the fealing of fear , pain anger - it could be absolutely op in itself already ) - but then you add an omnipotent mind control wih no limit (he’s not even exhausted or fainting after using it ?) that’s too much At that point I’m tired of the ever cold frozen hearted solo heroes who are given opportunities to accept being abnormal monsters and go down being nasty for the sake of a minority of idiots Not all his lost, let’s hope it’s not another story where’ the poor boy fight his way up against the world to be the lonely king of all Another disturbing fact is the authority of some mediocre aristocrats in a world where abilities exist (in the same manner, shouldn’t the parents marvel at their son power ? Why would everyone fear a mind reader ? ) So, some good, some bad, but still let’s see

50 excruciating One of these bad Chinese shoujo that is not even ok to sleep Basically the « poor » girl is both op and relying on a super boss with yandere tendencies (he’ll fight with a toddler to keep all her attention to himself : gross?) - then she’s a super cold genius, indifferent to almost anyone but becomes like a baby in front of her future boyfriend This is also a variation of a harem, her brother are ridiculous trying to please her who hate them with no mercy, taking the toll of a past life that is not hers There’s not characters growth except for the brother who are dismissed on a regular basis It’s pretty awful all the way, the villainess is both pathetic and truly nasty and the bog stereotypes are the worse than can be found It’s the second time i find a story about babies switch at birth, were the the true blood is a op returner, and the switched girl is a truly evil wrongdoer , in both cases the family side with the baby they raised and are truly mean to their true child All of that is simply so disturbing - bad communication, poor empathy or none, greed instead of love compassion and understanding : how could that be ? It’s certainly a very terrible situation for the children and the parents, and it’s a disaster to make such a bad story with it I had some expectations because of the « brothers » in the title, but this is not a family story with nice values, it’s just another trash romance in wich there’s way too much evil, and the female lead is both to much (ridiculously op) and relying on an unhealthy relationship (why do these author insist on these obsessive idiots, all brothers including the boyfriend are the same and it’s sick)

40 - seriously bad and dark story, characters with very bad ptsd There’s a good ending in the title and the relationship between the 3 is nice so far, but it’s seriously bitter. As she didn’t manage to save anyone Reu https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/a_happy_ending_for_villains/
