To deny the route

Ongoing | Honey trap,Saessak, EDLO | 2022 released

Finished. Rushed ending. Pick up Volume 4, past midway of part 4 to see how the manhwa starts deviating from the novel. —- On Chapter 30. tl;dr Fun series with a potentially interesting overarching plot. But for now: It's cute! Fun game mechanics! Fun character dynamics! --- It's lighthearted and fun! Jerry is frankly an adorable character, and I'm always a sucker for isekai series with a relationship favorability meter. The ML's Ilya, which is not a surprise at this point, but I can't help but prefer Karyan as a character lmao. But I suppose there's already series like Villains are Destined to Die that can fill that void...anyway, I've enjoyed the character dynamics. Jerry's interactions with both Ilya and Karyan are rather sweet, and his dynamic with his mentor's pretty fun, as well. Therems the sense of an overarching plot given his affinity with magic, as well as the intheritance fued that's oriented around the two brothers, but nothing's been set as of now. Overall, I'm having a fun time with this series right now.

It’s really good, like, a solid compelling story! If you read a Cruel God Reigns, I think you’d enjoy this story as well, as it untwined a similarly dark family dynamic into the story. And of course, both of them have dubious consent couples, because why don’t they! But honestly, read it for the drama. The lives of gods are certainly interesting… Update: Now that I’ve paid closer attention…the author REALLY has it out for Seth. God, I hate him, but I also feel bad for him, because everyone’s out here with a boner for him. Update 2: So, those scenes... It was a bit too much for me. I'll hold off on it till later. I think the family plot's still interesting, but, lord, I could *not* handle that gangbang scene. Paired with what Zeus did in season 2...I get it, Seth's an ass, but he's becoming a better god, albeit real slowly. After Season 2, I've unfortunately become emotionally invested in his ratty ass

ML, this motherfucker, is too smug for his own good. Also an asshole, but at least he’s hot?? But he’s such an asshole! God damn, I think I get it, but that doesn’t stop me from getting upset. Even if it’s temporary, I’m just glad that MC has enough a spine to leave this dude, because good grief. Praying for some character development… …And we get it! Woohoo! The dynamic’s much sweeter now, and I can only hope I may be able to enjoy the rest of this ride.

Megami Ibunroku - Persona

Complete | Ueda Shinsyu | 1997 released

It’s good! I read this blind (haven’t actually played the game) but I found it pretty compelling—characters are given their moments and even Naoya gets his own character arc. I will say that the presence of a few characters are minimized compared to the game (Still haven’t played the game, but have watched gameplay of it online lol) and the Snow Queen arc is massively shortened compared to what’s in the game, but it’s been touted by fans as a good adaptation of the game, and I have to agree. It’s a bit hard to read (I have to pause sometimes to see how characters move from one panel to the next), but I found I didn’t mind it as I got more invested in the story.

Barbarities

Complete | suzuki tsuta | 2014 released

Hedonistic SIMP x workaholic I love besotten men. HEAVY emphasis on political drama over romance. Still love it though. Can't wait for the next volume. Update: It’s good! Confusing at times, but good! Not sure about some sub-plots, and there’s a few things I’m iffy about, but overall, it’s really nice. --- Now finished. [ Workaholic and ambitious x Flirty and committed ] — Like a ‘lord’ and his ‘knight’ A little misses here and there, but I’m here for the societal plot. I’m here for the intricate costumes. And I am here for besotted men. I love their dynamic, how MC is trying to Keep Shit Together, but ML’s fooling around. At the same time, ML ain’t just a hoe; his devotion to MC gets him take working duties seriously, which I love. I love m

Fun cast of characters. Edit: Still seems to be things that are still hidden under the surface. Can’t wait. >CH: 44 Catch me crying at the end of this arc. I’m so proud of him.

Not sure why Merryweather made two webcomics with the same name, but this is a commentary on the second one, the one not on the cover. I liked it and it felt really promising. The art style was adorable, and overall, I would've liked to see what came next. Unfortunately, the artist decided to not work with him any longer, leading to its cancellation.

humor's a BIG miss for me. I hate everyone here — humor's a BIG miss, kinda curious to see how it'll go later, however.

Finished but don't remember much. Basically knight gets reverse-isekai'd and ends up with the black-haired business dude on the cover. It's a fun concept. Nice art.
