axima's manga / #Beautiful Art(462)

Honestly very clumsy but it feels like the author cared and I've been desperate for a hero X demon story. Just prepare to overlook some plot holes and overall jank if you're planning to read.

Really interesting with all the mysteries and few answers piling up. There's some original things thrown in like FL's past life still being relevant and the original MC being a regressor on her 2nd try. Unfortunately FL is a little dense and not much has happened to bring us closer to a resolution, the problems just keep piling up.

A breath of fresh air. FL is charismatic and endlessly optimistic and her goal is... To have a good love life with ML. No running away, no revenge, she just wants to bone her man. ML is pretty cute, he's nice and neither too serious or too much of a slacker. He wants to take care of his people without doing it at the cost of his personal life. The plot is a bit ridiculous when you start questioning how the old priestess is getting away with all this but it generally works well enough.

It's not afraid to have a little fun and the comedy is great. The characters are the highlight, they're all quite interesting. It's cute how they really do feel like close friends. Glad to see a shounen MC that has a bit more going on than just being ambitious and selfless. He's a great guy yet can still be lazy or blunt at times, feels more like a real person.

Not for the faint of heart

I do wish MC was a little cooler but I guess it's fine since he's doing well? I like the drama between contestants and Ian is cute.

Pretty cute and I like the art. Seems a little rushed. FL is a mood breaking a wooden coffin with her bare hands in the name of love.

Hovered between 3 and 4 stars. The ideas are there but execution leaves some to be desired. Like the ramifications of that time skip barely have time to sink in before we return to status quo, same with the beastmen getting kicked out. FL is also of the passive variety, which is a shame because she really has her moments like the motivation to help Lucien and when she got angry at the prince. At least she's otherwise an interesting character, her abandonment issues stemming from her past get some development. It's nice to have an FL that's not obsessed with not changing the story. ML is kind of a red flag but he does seem to realize his wrongs even if that scene was a little clumsy.

Love how they mixed regression with guide verse and how much more grounded it is compared to normal. You see them deal with the fallout of natural disasters, bombs, heck possibly war. MC is interesting, he really was a "villain" in his past life and now he wants to do better because as he was dying he realized that his actions never got him what he wanted and just made everybody more miserable. So he decides to spend his second life atoning by preventing major tragedies and doing what he can to make his love happy even if he knows it's unrequited.

Not bad. Concept is solid and I like how they deal with ML not having any memory of his superpowers, he's not immediately perfect he does get scared and confused. There's something wrong with the art though I kept thinking he was up to something shifty because his smiles look fake af but they're just drawn badly. The other characters don't seem to have this problem though. So far no smut since the preview in the first chapter, which I appreciate because coming up with random excuses for them to start boning would blur the line between their professional/personal lives too much and would get in the way of them developing an actual relationship when one is convinced the other hates him and will regret it and the other is an amnesiac which is at least a little dubcon.
