pluckaduck's manga / #Reincarnation(180)

i fcking love ruru, so fking adorable. also really love judith as well. she's so tenacious, with a great sense of rivalry and some inferiority towards her friends, but still maintains her personality and doesn't fall into demonoid magic. like i want mc to be strong but i want her to beat him cuz she's trying so hard but cant seem to ovrsome that gap, and i know she sure as hell wont give up and just become some sort of supporting chara trope. also the chara development for mc is just amazing and well-written. the manhwa also doesnt just gloss over his efforts to change, from a timid guy being dragged by the will of the man in his dream to a self-assured guy who controls that man's energy yet still retains his kindness. ch 81. the mystery of the identity of the man in his dreams is sorta resolved but only more questions arose cuz apparently mc is his reincarnation. but it's unique bc mc manage to grow out from the man's infleunce/emotions

she's so precious and adorable! she lacks common sense since she's been alone without developing her social skills for a long time, so her mindset originally was very narrow. she gained friends who cared for her and vice versa, but it doesn't mean whatever she does according to her thinking is brushed off like that. even if it's with good intentions, she still ignorant to tacit social conduct and thinks without the big picture due to life-long influence of blindly serving her master. she's learning to be flexible, but retain her upright and dense as bricks personality lol. also, she's really innocent bc of lack of social interaction. she used to only care about serving her master to be good knight. she neither cared nor thought about getting married or romantic gestures so it's natural she doesn't pick up or think too deeply about the subtle (or not subtle) romantic interest in her.

ch 5. what the fuck is that father cheating with maid plot point supposed to add to the story?? just unecessary drama to give the father two wives? I'm so annoyed, the self-proclaimed "god of words" mc just made up a story about how his father blackmailed the maid into having sex, and how is that not worse than them two having sex consensually? any normal person would've thrown the father out at that point (and btw it's not a matter of "jealousy", mc, they fucking betrayed her trust and deserve to be ousted. stop being so fcking selfish bc you want a happy family, mc.). edit: ch 5.5: yeah...is this supposed to offer some perspective to make this heartwarming? cuz its not... im kinda disgusted with the maid too... ch. side story: girl... (boys, dont follow this father's example, don't gaslight and use ur kids to corner a woman, it's disgusting) ch 25. first off, it's honestly better than i expected. just get rid of the lecherous parts then mc is pretty great. i enjoy exploring the world with mc and his party, and he is decently smart. we are starting to get character growth too. i felt that he was kinda naive, and idealistic...but that is reasonable bc he used to be NEET and grew up pretty sheltered in his new life. but now experiencing his failure that resulted in death and actual consequences, with the supard's words, he is forced to realize he cant just deflect some blame/guilt with excuses. the ramifications weigh down heavily on him, and i love it. and when the supard helped him out at the expense of his own goal, bc of mc's naivety, that was cherry on top. ch 36. ngl this chapter added layers of complexity to this isekai manga. paul is a good person and tries to be a good dad, but he's also humane and complex. and mc, he's relatable and realistic, but his flaws aren't glossed over, he takes the step forward to change which he couldnt do in his previous life. ch 52. they were 15 ish yo!! i just wish they were a bit older before doing the deed. well, whatever... the fact she cut off her hair was pretty cool, tho, shows her resolve and chara growth ch 76. ngl that was genuinely sweet. syth(?) is sooo cute and precious, esp that ear flapping when she is embarrassed. what's better than an adorable chara with personality + utter devotion + chara growth? like, what the hell, i want her. rudeus is gonna have a harem, so give her to me! ch 86. wholesome and heartwarming. mc's past life still lingers, it's great cuz it means he cant turn away from someone going thru the same thing. so mc just have 3 harem members. they're all great tbh, i dislike harems, but they're all endearing... i wish they all would end up with rudeus. sighhhh...

mary + blood are so cute. i hope they find each other and get married in their next life this is sooo good! it's heartwarming, wholesome, touching and moving, etc. the side characters are great, there's none of that cartoonish evil characters, the worldbuilding is amazing. the mc's enemy, stagnate, is very interesting- he's evil yet also mercifrul cuz he loves humans. also, the bromance is good.

ch 52. it really is an annoying plot device to have an extra oppose the mc bc of jealousy. he should be a smart guy, but why doesn't he know that when it comes to light that the pregnancy is indeed imaginary, he will face severe consequences and even his license might be revoked? what a moron, losing his entire career bc he wanted to one-up the mc.

ch 11. the son and father relationship is sweet and wholesome, but it still feels weird since the soul in the body isn't his son at all... but there's none of that conflicting feelings in the mc nor did the father found something strange with him... ch 23. i am enjoying this much more than i thought. the plot doesn't meander or drag, we established mc's goal in the first 10 chapters, the things he does in the city are not meaningless stuff or filler, and then we are introduced to the overarching mystery, and the following events are all tied to the mystery or mc's goal... the mc himself is cheeky, confident and knows when to insert comedy at the right moments, he's strong but not annoying, and he's so fine too... the secondary characters introduced are great too with pleasing but diverse personalities.... this is so good, basically. ch 32. i knew it. even tho namgoog and peng seemed like antagonist, the former even incurring mc's anger, i didnt hate them. and it turns out that they're not bad, maybe their personality sucks, but they're not comically evil. namgoog may not seem like a "good" teacher, withdrawing his outstretched hand from the problem student and giving up on him, but mc admitted that he was like that before, and namgoog is a dedicated instructor so he def have the capacity to change. im happy there are a multitude of complex charas here. ch 57. bro this is so good, the charas are diverse in background and personality, but still are fleshed out. the events have traces of the blood cult's influence, linking it to the overarching conflict, and mc is gradually discovering more. the mc's growth in power is not the focal point here, but it's rather the students he is helping, and it love it 91

ch 78. hmm it kinda got boring, the plot is meandering like the author doesn't really know how to move forward so they just added funny and fluffy stuff; the lovey-dovey stuff between the leads are kinda boring now. the first 20~ chapters when mc was unaware of ml's identity was more interesting.

wow she really was psychotic pre-regression. im interested to see how her mindset change before she died, bc she is pretty different now.
