Ways of Parting

Complete | AMALILLIA | 2019 released

I know what the author meant to go for, but it just doesn't work. Anyone else except the MC is a douchebag I wanna see get beaten to a pulp, but the author is trying to make the reader feel sympathy or like for all of them in their own way. Which doesn't work with this execution. No feelings come across except for those of the MC, even if you're supposed to feel sympathy for the ex (which would ONLY have worked if his introduction was different...) it just won't arise even the slightest bit after how shitty he behaved. I'm not gonna like a character that was introduced like THAT, so there is really no need trying. It's more obnoxious than anything else and none of the things the author is trying later on make it work and magically let you forget how much of a shitbag he was when he met his supposed 'lover he so desperately searched for for ages'. Just quit it and let him be the antagonist along with his new bitch-boyfriend. That would have made this more enjoyable. As it is now: It's not. The new love interest of the MC isn't any better either tbh since he could have gone with any reason except for "Ah well, I only pity-fucked you, so don't go catching any feelings, 'kay? :)". I DO get the apeal of an aloof seme that doesn't have any feelings for the uke yet, but goddamn is this intro for him trashy. All in all, the MC should fuck off away from all these people, start anew somewhere else and get a regular, average and decent person to fall in love with. That, at least, would be better than wasting time with any of these shitheads tbh... It's just not enjoyable to read, nor can I really say I have any interest in the story given how bad the logic and execution is. Hard pass from me on this one.

I know that Omegaverse stories have often the worst of ligic, but completely getting the meaning of Omega and Alpha wrong (as basic terms, not JUST the Omegaverse version, mind you) is just plain dumb. I get that the author wants to change the 'gender' dynamics with this gimmick of making the Omegas the 'better gender'...but this is just shoehorning on a large scale. The meanings of the terms are entirely altered, meaning the only thing that's varranting the change is the idea of 'alpha bad, omega good, so gotta change who's on top of food chain!'. I get the idea, but it doesn't work. The basic setup is too annoying to me, so I'll not bother with this, but apparently people view it as a good jerk off material, so there's that I suppose. XD Enjoy if you can, I'm dropping this based on logic issues.

A Near-Death experience is a cry for love

Ongoing | Isono funa | 2019 released

The plot is interesting but...sadly the execution is bad. It's rushed and skips some key events that need to be there for good storytelling or even just a flowing story and the reasoning of characters is all over the place and just used to create drama or the next happening of some sort. It's really...not good in terms of writing. It feels more like a half-assed attempt at re-telling a novel in minimalistic comic format rather than a fleshed out comic. And that's just not fun to read. If you're looking for jack-off material, sure, this works. But if you want a flowing story with good...anything, this isn't it. Dropped at: ch. 8

Isn't it kinda nonsensical, to say that 'black hair evul' and shun the 1st prince, when the beloved little dum-dum blondie boy has a DARKER HAIRED ATTENDANT than the shunned prince himself is?? If the colour makes a person evil, why tf let a dark-haired person tend to the beloved little prince? This makes no sense. X'D That guy's hair is closer to black than the princes', so what's with that logic? Please abide by your own rules, dear writers. It's VERY important. At least the 'eye-colour = evil' idea can be avoided by only having one person have intense eyes of a certain colour (let's be honest, it's either red or yellow), but ignoring your own rule in basically the same chapter is a tad bit silly. The other way around we could have had an excuse, since the prince's hair is more dark brown and the attendant is dark green-black. If they were switched we could make it make vague sense by saying: It's a different colour tho! Even if both are dark, the people differentiate! This just doesn't feel like the author remembered their own rules tbh. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
