ReviewRaptor's manga / #Interesting(484)

Realistic, adorable, wholesome, funny and smutty to a good degree (but not too much). Just a really REALLY good one shot. <3

Beware: The 'official' uploads are NOT the officials, they are altered uploads of the original to contort it to korean webtoon format. Which I think does not work for this manga, the original page layout is better.

I got 2 issues, so hear me out! THE PERSONAL PROBLEM: I honestly cannot read this in a serious manner. I keep smirking, eyerolling and covering my eyes with my hands. XD Everytime this cake/fork stuff is mention it just makes me cringe in some sorta way because it sounds so weird when you listen to it. Like some 2001 made-up OC name from deviantart that the author thought sounds suuuuper cool and whatnot, but for anyone outside the teenage world it just sounds weird. If you know what I mean? I get people want to mix up the Omegaverse nonsense, and I am FULLY for it as there are a million better ways to do it, but this would have been better off being just an altered Omegaverse or at least choosing different names for the 'roles'. This honestly just doesn't sound good. So reading it just breaks immersion every single time, which isn't making this a good read in specific ways. Which is a shame since the plot idea is different (but still essentially the same rape-allowing plot) than Omegaverse. You could have made this some god/demon related stuff, mythical creatures, curses and blessings. Literally ANYTHING but calling people a food and tool. That's just weird man. I can't. Just thinking about it is making me crack up again. ( >∇<) THE REAL PROBLEM: The problem I have with this more than the weird name choice is: There was LITERALLY no reason to make this another rape story. The story set itself up as the 'forks' not being able to taste. You could have turned this into a very highly sexual tension story, anything from a sweet caress that's too long to endure to hardcore edging for the uke. There was no reason to make the seme, yet again, a fuckwit that cannot keep his dick under control when this was all about finally having tastebuds again. Absolute zero reason. And I am convinced half the readers could have come up with a MUCH better plot idea with this setup. All without having to resort to rape and 'haha, me powerful so you no have any say HURRDURR'. (Super appealing btw. [/sarcasm.exe crashed]) Due to the writing being trash tbh, I would not recommend this. I literally lost interest as soon as the seme said 'go to the police, I'm powerful so nobody will do anything anyway'. None of that is appealing, even for someone with a rape kink like me. Which is sad. Even in shitty scenarios I can usually manage to find appeal here and there. But this had me immediately nope out. And I don't care to wait for 'character developement' either. So I'mma hard pass. :/ Maybe as jerk off material this is good enough for some, but as a story? Really below mediocre. Which is sad since, again, the base idea WOULD have been interesting.

I know what the author was planning to go for but the result is MUCH too rushed. The writing is okay but has it's flaws. The love interest is written very lackluster and too irrational and ditzy for my taste here, but it's honestly just the overall rushed writing and the story just not really establishing emotions as much as there should be. This is very aparent in chapter 6 for example, that grand talk was supposed to be impactful but due to their past being revealed by obnoxious back and forth jumping and emotions just not hitting as much as they could have, the talk seems almost out of place, out of nowhere, as if there was a grand emotional arc missing and we never got to see that but now we gotta just accept 'the talk' and are supposed to feel emotional about it. Personally I also have an issue with the love interest's personality. The love interest behaves a little too much like a typical shoujo girl, if you know what i mean. Especially since he was prissy about being ditched and not contacted after publicly outing his supposed partner (which they didn't really agree on at that point yet). So MC running off could have easily been a natural reaction if we view this without bl-nonsense goggles on. They also didn't agree to date, so being prissy about the ghosting and feeling like they are in a realitionship so he's entitled to being angry wasn't really a likable way to write him. Given this is female toxic red flag material in people. :'D All in all I would say the writing is good at it's core idea but the execution mediocre due to being so rushed, back and forth going and emotions just not being there when they should be. It's a decent read for younger/less experienced readers I'm sure, but for seasoned readers who look for a good flowing story, emotional impact moments and so on, there's just nothing to be found here. Which is a shame since this COULD have been a really great story, it has plenty potential for sure. Overall I wouldn't recommend it, but check it out and see if the issues in it aren't as bad for you as they are for me. It depends on personal standards and level of experience with good writing/storytelling, so you might like it either way. :) I hope the author makes more stories and learns to refine the writing and pacing, the potential is definitely there, so I'm hoping for more of this author in the future.
