andy2mc's manga / #Isekai(39)

8 Really fresh twist to the isekai shoujo genre! The whiplashing mix of creepy horror and gore with self deprecating humor and romance undertones is quite interesting. Her being isekai’d into a maid is also fresh. The comedic moments and self deprecating second embarrassment is soooo good too. I love it. I love her morally dubious villain arc. Soooo tasty. And the art is so scrumptious yum yum Odor kink? Lick your water drops? Sniff your pillow?, How to survive life threatening situations? Be a pervert

8.5 I actually got emotional and teared up when she read the poem aloud. I’m having a great time reading it. The tension between her and the ml got me SCREAMING. I’m having such a FUN TIME OMG. It’s legit so funny and relatable. Also he’s a cat lover duhh. It’s legit one of the funniest, if not the funniest shoujo I’ve read lol. It got me back into the isekai’d into a villainess train ️

6.5 This was really random, but a cute short read.

10 Truly grotesque (in the best way possible). It's certainly not everyone's cup of tea--- but it is mine lmao. It's extremely gory and graphic... but it had no right being such a skilfully written story. It grabs your undivided attention from the start with its addictive weirdness. But it somehow gets better and better in ways you wouldn't expect. And unravels in such a poignant tragic manner. It comes full circle in such an emotionally striking way. It's truly so beautifully written. A rollercoaster of emotions that makes you reflect deeply about human nature and desires. It’s utterly heartbreaking and twisted, and so beautifully written. I love it and I hate it so much. It got me sobbing non-stop to the point of dehydration. The ending is heart wrenching, but it's the perfect ending for the story. It's the type of tragedy that you seem coming but can't escape its grasp nonetheless. The type of doom that breaks you completely in it being completely unavoidable... which makes it somehow so so much worse. It's such a poetic story, and masterfully delivered. The way J ends up killing himself so he could be finally free... PAINNNNN. He basically used Makoto to get him to say his name so he could be set free from his century-long loneliness (that comes from being the strongest unreachable individual). Just like Wald used Jonathan in the same manner… and how Makoto is now going to do with his future “disciple”. The self-fulling cycle of blinding obsession, and utter soul-crushing loneliness. That’s “Wald’s curse”. You rise to the top due to the obsession love-hate you nurture towards the initialed who took you in. Until you become stronger than them and can say their name. That becomes your only goal and motivation. Your only reason to exist, what allows to survive. Similarly, the initialed holds on to you like their one and only lifeline. Once they get you to say their names, they are finally free and able to kill themselves (demons can only die if they are completely forgotten or when saying the full name of a more powerful demon). Which leaves you empty since you no longer have your source of obsession and utterly lonely, with no way to put an end to your misery. Which leads you to look for a disciple that can outpower you eventually so you can finally be free……. And so the cycle continues. I'm not even sure if there ever was love between any of them... the way this antagonistic whirl of emotions is depicted is so poignant. Perfection really. A true masterpiece. It rips you apart. At the end of the day, they are all just agonizing in their loneliness and seeking for an escape to this ending all-consuming pit. (Just writing this is making me tear up in the middle of Starbucks lmao) The artstyle is also god tier. It manages to capture this contradicting emotions so rawly. One certainly needs to be open minded to enjoy this manga, but once you perceive it beyond its weirdness and gore, you can truly admire the masterpiece this is. Capturing this oh-so-utterly-human all-consuming seamingly-unescapable bottom-less loneliness

8 (potential 8.5) Usually I don’t mind shounen ai but this one I really wish was yaoi the spicy scenes are SO SPICY that I feel edged when they just stop showing us at the highest tension peak. Nonetheless it’s really good (huh BDSM sex scene with a dragon

7.5? 8?

He’s building a whole ass orphanage lmao. The baby chicks just keeping flocking to him— the ultimate mother hen lmao The baby dragon is absolutely adorable He’s so lazy I love it. He thinks he’s selfish trash and gets surprised when everyone ends up simping on you and following him around

8.5 Hmm there’s a lot of things I loved about this manhwa. But it’s a tad bit overrated tbh. First of all, at times I got annoyed by the romance subplot but it was also okay— kinda mixed feelings. What truly bothered me though was how Arthur had to constantly save Tess (like 5 times!?! Wth). It was giving too much damsel in distress (which I HATE), despite Tess supposedly being depicted as a really strong character. (Note a few chapters later: I’m glad this was explicitly brought up. Hopefully it won’t be this way going forward). And the training arc was a bit monotonous and boring. Ig the action in this webtoon is just overall more slow paced than most shounen But all and all it was plenty of fun! The art is absolutely gorgeous beyond s1. It was quite funny and interesting lore. I also quite liked the cultivation magical lore. It was explained to such a detailed extent and so interesting. The analogies drawn and the pace also felt very appropriate. Though ig I’m spoiled with super intense faster paced shounen, I found it refreshing in a sense and it felt more realistic. And I’ve seen many comments saying the best of tbate is still yet to be adapted, and that it gets muchhhh better. That said, I still enjoyed it plenty so far. I just crazy af expectations since it was always mentioned together with ORV and SL. Also, I’m disappointed with the art style change of s3. It feels like such a downgrade *sigh*
