Agathe's manga / #twisted(8)

Fast pace, intriguing Saddly lost the humor real fast Leave me curious with a potential good plot ?

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 :/

84 - a girl fall into a novel, her heart filled with compassion for a miserable vilain - she hopes to save him In that world everyone has a fated lover with a corresponding seal She got hers upon arrival, but his doesn’t show The odds are, he truly is her fated one, but his heart is too dark, corrupted and selfish So far it could be ok, but it’s long Not only we have to see him being tortured into madness before she comes in, after that we have to see the crazy him interacting with the hesitant her and it takes more than a third of the story to become sincere IN the mean time, she also cannot recognise the kindness of the god wha granted her her wish, she has no faith If it’s a short ride, than it could be ok, but it feels like it will last, and every possible clue they have to make their relationship clear is doomed to be rejected, lost or forgotten It makes for a painful first half and a lengthy second where the ML turn into a yandere, being stupidly mean ro the butler, the sister, etc - these might be attempt at humor, but it only shows him being nasty and fake once again in the end, the concept is weak yet nice, but, the execution is poor Above all, despite the MC claiming he’s a good man, the writer made the ML so nasty and petty that you can’t really root for him, also scars don’t mean depth and the characters are really oversimplified Even with a happy ending, i can’t say i enjoyed he ride so much

33 - I’m onthe fence, the content is quite good, but it’s disgustingly vile and dark The mc is rather hard to understand - she’s strong but her choices are self destructive and vicious The duke, is like a sweet puppy No matter the potential « happy end »the bitterness of the bloody way would hardly make me feel good

That one is weird, it’s flirting with taboos real bad, big age difference, minors, And there’s no background to half of the cast to keep that very irrealistic story going on The art is cute, but disturbing in the shota Vibe, 13 year old kid look like 7 and so on From the same author i’d rather read teen stories, it’s less ridiculous and uncomfortable

22 - big egos, far from feel good, but potential I can’t say i like the « me me me » MC, although i like how she takes the initiative, i’m kind of fed up with extreme stereotypes (next to useless or op know it all girls, and functions : maid / subordinates or princess often with swords and sharp everything) so there you have the over the top stereotype kind of heroine in the op type, officialy « a demi god » described as cold or emotionless (again ?) the ML sure is mysterious and attractive, and much of the potential comes from the mystery that he bring about (both because of his own existence and because he’s the main interface with the outside world in a non conventional manner) The universe is not to developed so far, but the court is as evil as expected (mystery that is not as entertaining in a way, because we already guess it will stink) So there could be a good plot, the pace is slow so far and i’d like it a lot more if there was more humanity to that sheltered 20year old girl
