moody_bish's manga / #Magic(40)

There's really nothing wrong with Mizuro's indecisiveness here. Her intentions change with her environment yet all the same grounded with what she can do. She wanted to go home because she thought her time ran parallel with earth. Hence, she wanted to be an adventurer and learn how to adapt while also trying to leave. However, her attachment and the knowledge that she could return in peace, gave her the resolute to make use of her power to be helpful in the society and class she was in. Even with the demon king, she wasn't rash with her decisions. Independent women doesn't mean being separate with men, it means being true to yourself and capable of deciding for yourself. Besides, it's insensitive to think that just because female leads become somewhat reliant to men or are woo-ed by men, they are not strong anymore. And what's wrong with being girly? Female femininity is almost always looked down on but it empowers delicate kindness and maternal-like instincts to be gentle and empathic. im starting to think that female masculinity has become the stereotypical 'strong and independent women', but it only further imposes the narrative that women should be more like men to be considered independent or powerful.

For a shoujo, this story FAILS HARD—and it sucks because it's the forced slow burn is basically becoming the FL's fault. im telling u, the author had so many chances for them to just hit it off but then make these uselessly repetitive drawbacks that were supposedly already brought up. the author drags the romance so badly that it makes Lily like a dense hypocrite who should reflect on how she treats Leonard, or her feelings, before she even dare to comment on someone else's relationships or call someone else dense and advise them to communicate. if it weren't for their filial relationship, i'd given this up before i even read up to 30 chapters. also, ROMANCE is sooooo different from the love for family and friends. it shouldve been at least 70% understood when the concept of "sex" and "marriage" was brought up during the princess and prince childbirth problem.

[dropped] a king who i think will live a life to be a king yet again

I just want him to really enjoy this life as well. he really suffered alot as a 42 years old. It's so cool how the gods watch over him and how his timid yet suppressed child-like spark is translated well into his child body. he's quite a workaholic, but only because he has fun. Altho, it's also a byproduct of his OG life environment

as if another normal day, the duke treats his sudden transmigration as a fated vacation. As curious as he is, he starts an adventurer's life with the one slash-lone wolf adventurer named Gil. With a nobility's face and atmosphere, it's just hard for others to see him as an adventurer

rn im bored with the tmi of stats and how it gets repetitive. i checked out the anime and with the more omnipotent POV and well paced action, it's more interesting than this. Plus the VA for the spider is really fun to listen to lol

despite the beautiful art, Amy is just ridiculously dense and has her head stuck up her arse for so long. Her lies towards the young Nox and her cowardice towards the older Nox... istg, she's a villain and she doesnt even recognize how much she's hurting him. she wants to stay true to the story?? then she shouldnt wish to save her sister then! she already changed the stoey and having the potential to sabe Nox shouldve been enough. Instead, we have a selfish and delusional Female Lead who thinks she's right only because she knew the future

the early half was really just disappointment after disappointment for the twins. but at least it quite well written when it's time for redemption. the build up was worth the tears lol

more wholesome than i prepped myself for. I was on the edge with how she tries to dip into the characters, quite different from the classic "runaway". she does her best to help them stray from whatever triggered their twistedness upon realizing the innocence they could have. Plus the characters are people, different from the 2D experience of game avatars. This, of course, is common but the story goes on to add more spice. (and omg, im just so happy that it's like a restrained yandere instead of a romanticized yandere)
