ReviewRaptor's manga / #DO NOT READ(115)

Half-assed plot that rushes through important parts as early as chapter 4 to 6 just to get 'tO tHe ImPoRtAnT pArT'. Dropped because the writer didn't bother putting effort into decent writing. Instead of focusing on telling the story and making emotions and thoughts come across, they skipped literally EVERYTHING. Emotions, years of happenings that are only mentioned when we're suddenly supposed to have them matter. This is just shitty writing. It was interesting given the setup, but they totally butchered it.

I find myself completely bored and entirely uninterested at chapter 31 already. The base plot is a great idea and interesting, but the execution is very amateur-ish and almost child-like the way scenarios are written. Things are rushed, emotions or sense of urgency are not delivered properly, all while some parts are dragged out in dialogue that I really couldn't care less about since the characters are just not interesting but just annoying. It might be a good read for new readers or people who are bored. But for those with interest in well-written, well fleshed out and interesting writing...this isn't it. Even as a page-flicker I don't see this working since there is not gonna be a definite goal to flip through for (a kiss for romances, marriage for a trouble couple plot, etc.). It's just not interesting and if you have experience with writing, you can already tell this story will drag on and on and only reach a mildly satisfying goal (since the goal of the MC is NOT a big one to begin with). I'll drop this and give it a hard pass on all fronts. Not even the art can save it, it's mid really. Give it a try, but be warned if you have higher standards when it comes to stories. That's really all I can say.

Horribly jumbled, all over the place writing that just rushes around in zigzag lines. Even in the FIRST chapter already. It's confusing and even the panels don't match a coherent story, so it is NOT the fault of wrong translations (there seem done well). This is just not holding any standard. Maybe for very new readers without much experience this can be a nice read, but if you place value on good writing and coherrent storytelling; look somewhere else. 0 outta 10 - Spare yourself the headache

I don't think it's the translations fault that the story is THIS confusing. New elements get intoduced but only barely explained. Like: WHAM, BAM, DEAL WITH IT. Of course the translation getting worse and worse doesn't help, but from how the comic itself is portraying situations you can tell it's not JUST the translation that's at fault here. It's the people who wrote this and didn't put enough effort into making it coherrent. It reads like a VERY rough storyplot with things happening way too random and like in nightrider, JUST when it's useful...kinda like the author thought of those things in THAT very moment and just thought 'yeah, imma put that in'. Without re-reading how it reads for others and undertsanding it's just way to random. It's just very amateur-ishly written. There wasn't enough time put into making the story coherrent and fleshing things out, which is one of the most important steps when writing a story. It's really a shame, since the very basis WAS super interesting. What with multiple regressors and the strange curse,etc.. But at this point it's just too much of a chore to read. It's not pleasant at all. I really wanted to keep going but it's just made me loose all interest. Maybe someone will make a copycat version of this with more effort (or maybe THIS one is the copycat? idunno). I'm sadly dropping this. Give it a shot but unless you have little to no experience with good writing, this is definitely not a good read.

This reads like an 'epic' plotline a 12 year old wrote and thought it's the most amazing and impressive story ever to be written. But if you read it after gaining some knowledge about what good writing and storytelling is....it's nothing short of cringey and amateur-ish. It very much reminds me of one of my first stories I still have saved on a USB stick. That 'sterne ceremony' with exploding powers if the groom isn't there is somehow even more dumb than what I wrote back then tho. It just WAY too over the top and doesn't work well if you don't bother giving it a strong reason (which there is literall zero of). The plot is VERY amateur-ish in writing and storytelling. But it's probably a good read for newcomers. Those with more experience and a taste for great writing and story building should probably look elsewhere tho, there is nothing of interest to see here tbh.

The characters behave random sometimes, the storytelling is rushed and lacks detail when needed and the overall vibes this gives is 'halfassed'. The dude supposedly looks like another dude, but even the girl that had a cruch on said other dude doesn't even mention it. The mYsTeRiOuS secret can be seen from a mile away and the characters are just too bland to make this interesting. Neither the story nor the chars are interesting tbh. The story itself is one of the most bland and boring plots I've seen in ages. Even the most cliche and predictable shoujo highschool romance has more oomph to it. WTF.

REVIEW TIME! TL;DR at the end for anyone alergic to more than two sentences. The Good: - The plot might be basic but it's still interesting. It's kept very casual and doesn't want to be some grand, epic story that is filled with big happenings at every corner. The Bad: - The writing is HORRIBLY rushed. The author jumped all intricate details, which makes me thing whoever converted this into a comic doesn't have enough insight in storytelling and hence just left anything out that makes a story intricate and immersive. Which is likely also why the Duke so seemingly randomly and from one moment to the other just BAM falls for the MC. This is not good storytelling tbh. Much too rushed and it makes me loose interest despite the story and characters being nice. - ALSO; THE UPLOADING. Please, PLEASE stop rushing and check if pages are uploaded in order or twice behind one another or even entirely jumbled. The Ugly: - The translation....REALLY needs an overhaul. Nothing is consistent. One moment grammar is perfect and in the next speech bubble it's bad Google Translator shennanigans. Please, for the love of anything ever holy, at least try to check for grammar mistakes and keep names consistent (how tf did Duke Sussex turn into Mr Sechs Kies!?!?!). It's like people don't even want to string together chapters and just half-heartedly throw the raws into google translate and then call it a day and pat themselves on the shoulder. Please put in some effort, and if you lack some stuff it takes to translate things: Just leave it to other people. Because bad translations are often just left laying around instead of being replaced with good ones and that just makes people turn away from a story that's now too much of a chore to read. TL;DR: My overall judgement is: It's nice but I find it unreadable due to the messy pages, bad translations and rushed writing. I'll half-abandon this and only flip through pages from now on to see how it continues for a while, but I'll never recommend this due to all the issues.
