ReviewRaptor's manga / #dislikable uke(70)

Who of us would actually ever be interested in someone that whores around directly in front of us, trying to trigger any response and then tries to persue us? I for one would loose all interest in the person tbh. I get screwing around, but if you try this bs with me, I'm out. Hence why I have zero interest in reading this. It's not logical behavior and will likely only be turned into a 'love story' with a giant doze of manga magicks. No thanks. ^^

Review/Critique, so be warned. This works as a self-insert very well, but NOT if you're not exactly into the type of person the love interest here is and NOT if you cannot relate exactly to the MC. From the very start the story is weird and feels like emotions and thoughts do not come across well. As well as general intentions of anyone in this story. The MC is a bit of a weirdo but quite bland and simple. Yet the love interest is so weirdly random seemingly that it would have greatly benefitted him if the author hinted more at HIS side of emotions and intentions. Because, to me, first it felt like he was SUPER pissed that the MC wanted to use 'playing gay' as a means to win the show because he finds it offensive to use gayness as a gimmick. Yet, it turns out, he had been given a wishy-washy tsundere personality and he was into the MC. If it was portrayed differently, this might have worked okay but as it was done here, it just seems random. Almost like the author had no set script or really thought about the story much. It's funny for sure but the romance between them is just 'off' and feels randomly done just for the sake of getting them together SOMEHOW, by any means to get to the author's preferred part. I also find the love interest VERY unappealing in terms of personality tbh, but I'm sure someone will like a cranky jerk that thinks he can get upset about playing house and realizing it's not reality. XD It's probably a decent read for beginners but not for seasoned readers, but even there I'd not recommend it because it's honestly not that well written as a romance. As a comedy piece, sure, it's worth flipping the pages. But I'd not recommend it as a romance comic to anyone that asked me for recs. Sadly. Because, as someone below said: The premise IS very interesting. The execution is just badly done.

Okay so I started reading this but for some reason the writing just doesn't make the story intriguing. The characters also feel very bland somehow. I also have a hard time finding ANY appealing quality in the 'love interest' of the MC. Not a very good combo for a comic in my opinion. Which is a shame since I'm running out of stuff to read while updates take ages to roll in. XD

This comic is good if you ignore literally EVERYTHING that is written. Good jerk-off material, the utmost trash for story. Anyone other than the uke is a huge pile of steaming shit.

I really need to remember to check info before just reading when bored. I am getting flashbacks to my early days of fucked up yaoi reading. I should have checked the author name. ╥﹏╥ Now I gotta go look for fluff to cleanse my memory. Which will take years. AGAIN. I just had forgotten most horrors of Harada after these 10 years! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ Anyway, even if this is still a 'happy story' from Harada: Stay away if you cannot stand the following. - Parents pimping out their children - Child R@pe & Prostitution (Christ on a stick, get the holy waterfall for me please) - Shitty parents behaving like trash and not being sorry - General Whores, both bottoms and tops - Regular rape - Prostitution because you have literally nothing else in life - People treating the MC like trash and a fleshlight - Betrayal in various colours of the rainbow - and some more things I am trying to forget already If you're looking to be sad and disgusted as well as mentally scarred: This is for you! :D If you want to keep your sanity: Run. RUN. RUN NOW. And don't you EVER read any other works from this author! There's a good fuckin' reason the term Harada-esque was coined after this author created so many fucked up stories they became the god of the genre and all other creators works were judged by their standards of writing fucked up shit. Spare yourself the years of haunting. I know the writing is good, but that is only to lure you in before you get the hell beaten outta your innocent mind! RUN. Do not become like me, child!!!! （/TДT)/

I'm 3 chapters in and I had already lost interest to 101%. And I DID try and read further but, it's not getting better. So I'm out. The art is nice, character designs too, but it's wasted on a plot about an absolute doormat special alpha seme and the bitch-bitch omega uke who doesn't care about others in the slightest. (note to all creators: narcissists are not appealing unless you make them a cute-type tsundere) I'll give the creator credit for turning the roles around at least, but it's still an unappealing setup I have really zero interest in. So I'm sadly going to drop this. Nice art tho, so I suppose for some people that can carry the comic. Depends on taste I guess. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

The MC/ML(? the soldier dude) has absolutely random writing in terms of behavior tbh. Nothing he does really makes sense except create a reaction, situation or dialogue to drive the plot. There is no sense to his actions, no rhyme or reason even if you do expect some sorta background story chapter to show up, none of this works even then. If this was based on a novel, it'd say the people making this comic skipped key scenes or misunderstood the writing and portrayed him a bit off, but this is not based on a novel, so technically there shouldn't be any rhyme or reason missing. I could see how someone might think THIS is how a tsundere is supposed to act, but even then, the random 'dick-hard - lets shove it into his face' moment was the pinacle of randomness. No explaination whatsoever either. Tho then again, the dude thinks knocking someone out is perfectly fine and NOT landing him in the guardhouse and all people around him do not remove him from the side of the uke either but instead push him there. The writing is heavily lacking and I can only wonder why i do not see a smut genre tag up there. Because that would PERFECTLY explain all of this. Because smut is essentially just porn in comic form and DOES more often than not lack right about any sense. XD I'm not sure if the story is good enough to keep going. Neither of them are interesting as characters because of the lack of proper introductions and the overall 'zombie virus' plotline isn't really made important enough to think THAT part of the story is worth sticking around for. So my guess is this will be carried heavily by the art, which I can very well see happening. It is great art so far. But I do not read for art only, especially not if the character we deal with is utterly random and obnoxiously written. I guess they are both good looking and bonking will eventually happen, but I'm not quite sure if that is really worth all this enduring I'd need to do. (And many comments aren't really making it look like it's getting better.) I didn't get hooked. I'm not an art-only person. The art is great but the characters utterly basic and bland. So I might flip through pages here and there to check but I honestly do not see any appeal besides the art here. Which is a shame since this setup HAD potential, it just wasn't used well. Maybe because the author is new to writing? It seems that way anyway. But the base idea was good, so I think there is high chance for improvement. You do you, give it a try, maybe the MC/soldier is your type of character and you'd read just for him, but all those looking for good writing will likely need to look elsewhere.
