The beginning after the end
[dropped] a king who i think will live a life to be a king yet again
Spirit Farmer
Very refreshing take on ability users and dungeons. Instead of dramatic action, it focuses on a wholesome farming and beast communication. It has no pedophilia nor anything borderline. Instead, it's just a wholesome and heartwarming father and daughter duo who is able to peacefully cultivate their farm and tend to their livestock despite famous and powerful people around them.
Medical Return Webtoon
I have issues with the portrayal of doctor's word choices. It sounds very irresponsible to promise something especially when someone's life is on the line. Also, it's so stressful how it's just toxic to be in the hospitals in this webtoon. Encouraging a competitive atmosphere to strengthen the interns, residents, doctors mentally is different from the toxicity of verbal and mental abuse I just read. But it's also amusing how they diss US' healthcare or at least the hospital used here. oh, and i really think sangmin is literally asking for help with the amount of times he warned or hinted others about his crime. i was already thinking that he just wanted to die thru his friend. a twisted portrayal of his desire to be stopped and desire to be remembered by Jinhyun. Coz, i know he will never be justified... it's just that sangmin is broken by his father... and i'm still pissed by the redundancy of "cheer up" as if that's supposed to be Jinhyun being a 'friend'. What he did for Hwaemi, listening to her and offering his time... romance aside, that would have made him a friend to Sangmin. He's just as self-absorbed as his past, except he has been blessed by God and by his experience with failure.
Isekai Omotenashi Gohan
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.)
Aiou Futari
i wanna pin it for later coz im here too stuck sympathizing with the son and also dying after he offered to replace his mom. Spoiler ~ read it—fuck that made me cry. not only did it unravel both accepting and nonaccepting families of gays, it also validates unconventional families (adopted or potential same sex parents). Plus my heart is just clenching over the fact that Keigo joined the app to be a sugar baby just so he could bridge the gap just like how kazu's mom became a sugar mommy to understand kazu
