Ambrosia's manga / #9+(469)

list - wip, enemies to lovers 20+ Funny and the misunderstandings don't drag on too long, so the humor is just right. The romance was a little lacking, but it was still a fun read. 4/5

30: Interesting premise but fairly cliche characters. World where they go into the game and are Lords of their own empires. Uke is the typical down on his luck and poor type, he was initially in a weak empire but they grow to become the number one rank. Seme is his second in command but basically the real leader and is the typical cold seme who secretly cares for uke. There's some history between them that gets told as the story goes on, and this could have been really interesting but it's not told well or smoothly, so I'm left a bit confused. We are introduced to these characters that the uke is familiar with as if we should be familiar with them ourselves, and there are hints of their history together but nothing is explained well. Uke changed (?) the race of his empire so they could become stronger, and this apparently was painful so he thought they'd hate him but they don't except for the Grand Duke. Seems like the Grand Duke hates him but also cares for him, true feelings unclear. They have a physical relationship but don't communicate emotionally at all. Side characters could be interesting but don't really have depth. Plot isn't clear, things are just happening and kind of being explained on the side. Interesting concept and world building, but story and characters fall flat and lack depth.
