Bloodpix's manga / #Romance(169)

I was bored out of my mind. I read all the available chapters (11) and I just was at the point at like chapter 5 where I just grabbed the scroll bar and dragged. I skimmed like I was playing a timed guessing game and it's so monotonous and boring. Not dissing on the translators here either but the broken English kind of pulls away from the already uninteresting characters. Don't bother with this one unless you're a completionist. UPDATE - Grand news. A official translation came through and my opinion did not change at all. I only got to perhaps chapter 16 despite there being over 40 now and I couldn't bear it anymore and stopped. The story throws isekai elements in at random when necessary, the characters moods are that Katy Perry song to a italicized T where they flip flop non stop to get where they need to, and I sincerely can't even force myself to enjoy the story. I apologize for my rude and upfront opinion but I won't cherry coat this. To those who enjoy this, that's wonderful. I can't be that person though, so enjoy it in my place.

I was ready to give this a 3 star but then they crammed a very information heavy ending into 1-2 chapters and I'm pissed. The pacing has been fine, the mystery was good, and everyones a dumbass in their own rightful way. Then you give me that (SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS) "Oh I was that person and her soul went into my body then I reincarnated back here as her reincarnated! Who'd of thunk!" and the male lead who should literally remember none of that for ANY reason remembers it too, la-de-da everything goes peaceful, all the friends not friends she made along the way wishes her well, they're married at the end and share their first kiss in the 83 fucking chapters *I'm LIVID.* It's not like they'd gone over limit it really was, ham fisted "It's done, end it now." ending FFS. And you mean to tell me that he didn't realize it was her? ARE YOU AN IDIOT?! They look the same, just their colors swapped!! Hell even I presumed she was a reincarnation but I'm just MIFFED. (ALL DONE ALL DONE) The buildup and progression of the story is fine. You get a bit invested with these characters as long as you get past their vacant doll faces with hard to do expressions. Seriously they're so flat. They obviously slip into the typical tropes but hey originality is hard these days. I can't say I'd recommend this to anyone, unfortunately. I read the whole thing but sincerely it had me feeling nice right up until that rushed ending. Now I'm left with disappointment that they did me dirty like this, at the end of all things.

Most of the characters are pretty token examples and currently it's just a revenge story with a bunch of reverse harem potential eye candy. EDIT 2/27: While things have gotten better now that she is out of the palace *I despise that prince and the way they handled that relationship exceptionally so. Which likely means it's well written but it was just so unnecessarily toxic of two overtly proud and unconversing individuals.* Pope guy is good, secret guard guy is a homie, brother is true bro, can't wait to meet mom and dad, and I hope the bitch that lied her way into the palace is regretting getting stuck with that guy. LET ALFREDO RULE, THE SAUCY CHAP!! New Flash - Alfredo has literally been MIA for the last, like, 30 chapters. I feel slighted.

Top tier. I thought the man was getting a lil dragon out that shadow but NO A BEEFIER MAN WITH SO MANY DEPRESSING ISSUES STEPPED OUT AND I WANT TO CODDLE HIM AND SWADDLE HIM AND GIVE HIM THE BEST COOKIES AND WATCH ALL OF HARRY POTTER AND LORD OF THE RINGS BACK TO BACK WHILE HE CRIES AND I PAT HIM GOOD CAUSE HE BEST BOY FUCK THE NAY SAYERS!! No, all seriousness, this is really good narrative. I feel like they could have extended the time and built up some more of their roommate narrative but I know they've probably got a lot to cram in to this and perhaps a chapter limit (but that's just a theory!) so I'm hoping we get more good times. Very few times do we get some good smut with good story. They've gone beyond to set the stage and I am enthralled to see more!

A collection of stories including one extra. The first story is the main event as it takes up 3 chapters and the extra. It's cute, it's fine. I'm less inclined to judge the age difference because the people around them don't care and support them and I don't actually know any numbers. They're cute, it is built nice; that for a short story it crams a even amount of plot comparative to its casual moments. It gets a 2/5. The second story is a one-shot of two campus strangers who watched each other and fell in love with the other without even speaking to them. It's cute but grinds my gears because I wanted more buildup or any interaction but they hang out for one day, not even the full day mind you, and they're macking on each other and doing naughty and *people it's been like 5ish hours please.* And then shit goes back to normal. 3/5, needed more tension/build/relief. The third story is shameless. It's about a guy who attends his fathers funeral to find a random man has come there crying. He is in pain and consults with his dads friend, who I guess is a hypnotist or something, as he takes him through his dreams to recall this guy. He remembers his name immediately, that he was his fathers college lover and beyond, and that he TRIED TO STRANGLE HIM TO DEATH AS A CHILD. The solution for this is to confront him and the old lover is sorry because he loved this CHILD. LIKE LOVE LOVE THIS CHILD. AND THE KID NOW ADULT I THINK SAYS YEAH ME TOO, ITS ALL GOOD THAT YOU NEARLY KILLED ME AND MADE IT SO I HAD TO REPRESS MY MEMORIES OUTTA FEAR ALL THESE YEARS!! Absolute crock. They hook up; what's the age difference on that?! If they were college lovers before his dad married his mom when was he born? At LEAST he's 18 years younger then the twink looking old flame. I'm okay with some age differences *but the fact that he was in love with him as a child fucks it for me. AND THAT HE CHOKED HIM. YKNOW THAT DOES IT TOO.* 1/5 The extra end chapter is just the first story getting some closure. 3/5.

Actually upsetting? Like, it's in the title so drag me for an opinion, but this is rape. They hypnotized him for 5 chapters and raped him. Then when they released him and CONTINUED to rape him he gets over that matter real quick because his body has basically been reformed to need sex. AND IT ENDS ON A LOVING NOTE. Mad. Actually mad.

Love these idiots oh my god.
