moody_bish's manga / #Another World(61)

32. character-wise... being unable to speak doesn't equate being as blank as a newly processed paper. like bish had the opportunity to learn phrases from the Korean she met, had other ways to communicate since she's still a certified translator something. like, that means you have the basic sense to try to communicate despite the language barrier miss maam can jump to conclusions but won't even try to communicate in "earthly body language" like clasping your hands together or using pictographs—but i understand the fear. i just feel like the author just made her dumb despite her vivid imagination. and it's kinda dragged and getting repetitive with unnecessary dialogue

@56.1 Easy going adventure with a thickening plot. MC is an exploited corporate slave with high insight that could play around with his powers and adapt in situations. He doesn't really encounter extreme prejudice or discrimination and gets along with the majority of characters he encounter. he's the type to return the favor, but takes revenge tenfold through schemes. (quite clueless, too)

vol1... AHHH excited for the next volumes (tho i think it'll be quite a long wait. // Vol2 is so annoying when the mother came and it's that ideology that children should just live with it even if theyre abandoned—and like, he's 50, why does he have to keep himself available for that bitch UGH

Interesting MC who is a little dense, but is very proactive and humble. Takes magic and responsibility seriously, but is unable to refuse his sister which trapped him into a sudden polygamous engagement with 3 girls. Despite being OP, he is confronted with a heavy responsibility to take on the world's biggest threat on top of all the complexities of an aristocrat.

it's so wholesome! even if it shows just a chapter, like an introductory subarc for the MC—it doesnt make you feel empty coz it fulfills the introduction, the prequel of whatever adventure or drama that would unfold after finding her people.

besides the subpar ending (that had to be supplemented by text from the webnovel of how it would have ended), the story in general is wholesome. it really had an impactful beginning as the sisters were complementary to each other. However, when the internal conflict of staying or leaving this other world was being unraveled, it had fleeting and ungrounded feeling. Esp when it began to confront the romantic possibilities between Jade and Akane. "open ended" doesnt even cut it because the story fell flat just when a sort of climax is achieved between the two. there's a need for more chapters, or maybe even a volume to fully execute the story and at least match its strong beginning. (i'm not really one to appreciate being supplemented by the original text because it's supposed to be a manga adaptation... i don't like it when an adaptation is incomplete, where i'm seemingly forced to read the novel instead if I want to get the story.)

the stars are for the empress, the lack of it is because of how annoying the emperor is as well as the slow and almost dilly dallying progress. it's 73 chaps yet almost nothing significant happens besides befriending the fave concubine, escaping death for the nth time w/o progress from the investigation, garnering the emperor's interest (emphasis on cringy blushing and delulus despite having done nothing so helpful for her) and still leaving a lot of gaps as to why she's being targeted or hated by emperor (with this pace, it's going to take 200 chaps to know at least 80% of what's going on)

erased a long rant that was fuelled by frustration ch29—it has a nice build up (often absurd but it's a diff world anyway). Risa reminds me of myself in terms of giving advice yet being unable to keep it. I'm disappointed that her friends and family are passive towards her just when she needed major help. (i get that they want to support her choices, but most of the time it was their coaxing and carelessness that got her into trouble anyway)
