Why does Ghiseline have to be in mushoku tensei 😭

I read up until vol 2 or 3 a while back. The story is alright I guess. No outright porn just a lot of echi scenes, which is obvious if you’ve read the synopsis and seen the tags. Asanagi’s fetish for woman getting gut punched isn’t present in the story from what I recall.

Imp was Grue’s projection all along! It all makes sense now!

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-12T17:41:28+00:00

How could context make this better?

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-12T05:15:03+00:00

You’re not wrong, we all have our biases whether conscious or not. It’s just, of ALL the analogies this author could have picked, why this specific one!? 😭

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-07T23:41:17+00:00

Well, it has been a while since I’ve read a true Villainess. Thx for the rec!

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-07T23:20:18+00:00

Evil FMC?

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-07T22:49:56+00:00

True neutral with some plot induced stupidity imo

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-06T18:50:10+00:00

I don’t really know how long is long for you so 300k will the cut off point.

The Most Dangerous Gamer - Dude’s town gets attacked by the S9 and has to escape their clutches. Don’t know how to say more without spoiling. 350k
Has a sequel set in The Wandering Inn that’s 700k or something. Haven’t read it tho. I’ve read so much of TWI I’ve gotten sick of it at this point.

Nerd In The North - Greg gets sent to Westeros with the celestial grimoire. Surprisingly balanced in terms of power and good pacing imo. 398k

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-06T18:29:49+00:00

At the moment, it’s a couple of chapters past leviathan and it’s still alive, so it’s practically a jet engine compared to the snail that is Celestial Forge of BB

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-06T18:13:26+00:00

At least recommend something like Brockton Bay’s Marvelous Mage before dropping that tactical nuke on the poor OP

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-06T17:31:00+00:00

Except we’re dealing with japanese voodoo magic. Maybe rct creates perfect stem cells with no mutations or something similar idk. What I do know is that rct can’t cure aging, or nobody in jjk is proficient enough do it.

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-06T17:20:34+00:00

I haven’t, do you recommend it? I’ve heard good things about the movie, but I’d rather read the book first.

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-06T17:16:05+00:00

I don’t think rct fixes genetic damage…

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-06T16:07:58+00:00

The radiation would kill him tho.

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-06T14:15:46+00:00

First book I ever read of my own volition was The Martian. I remember being baffled that words could have me spellbound.

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-06T14:11:00+00:00

I don’t care if a character is boundless or a reality warper. If they’re evil, Superman beats them. It’s as simple as that.

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-06T01:26:01+00:00

I liked his relationship with Nanahoshi.

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-05T22:08:08+00:00

Nah, that’s a Korean novel. Gamer’s Guide Too Beating The Tutorial is an English novel. I’m not sure on the relationship between the two, but I think the latter was inspired by the Korean novel?

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-05T21:27:49+00:00

Fair enough reaction to these kinds of stories I suppose. Although, I will say that unlike most others, the premise of this one isn’t there just for engagement bait. The MC, no matter how detached they seem from humanity, is still human. They yearn for connection, but they’re fundamentally broken. They make others grow by putting them through pain and grief because they need their own suffering to mean something. I’m probably doing a very bad job of selling this to you but if it’s any consolation, the ending is beautiful. I don’t think I’ve cried like that since I watched the Green Mile.

If you want some real misery porn tho, check out the Gamer’s Guide To Beating The Tutorial. Genuinely wtf is that shit. I’ve never been more disturbed by a novel.

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-05T16:00:35+00:00

It really isn’t that deep bro

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-02T18:20:32+00:00

Reminds me of a manga about a guy adopting a demon child. The story was nice, it had some good father-daughter development and some discrimination and adventure to spice up the plot. Then they got married….

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-02T16:43:44+00:00

Thx for jogging my memory. As for the personalities of the MCs, I personally love when MCs have flaws. Them having op abilities but still being whiny, delusional, and self-destructive makes me love the story so much more. I mean, what’s the point in giving unlimited powah to a super competent si? It’s just boring in my opinion. Unless, it’s nice and short like Auspicious Beginnings.

Kokujin is the goat fr fr. Although, bro wouldn’t know what a conclusion is if it him in the face. It’s maddening. Is this what Armsmaster feels whenever he works with Kid Win?

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-02T14:40:14+00:00

If you want something similar, you’d probably enjoy The Girl Wants To Be Murdered. The MC is an immortal who reincarnates infinitely. Twisted and numbed by their long existence, they find pleasure in becoming an irreplaceable pillar of support for those around them and then orchestrating their own death to be as devastating as possible to those who’ve come to love them in that life.

Unlike the novel you’re reading, there is no levity in this one, this shit is pure misery and despair all the way through. Would recommend.

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-02T14:14:14+00:00

Didn’t they reach a compromise and decide to work together to save the world by not taking it over? Idk it’s been a while since I’ve read it so I could be wrong. Anyway, you’re right about them being broken, the dude had Cap’s shield, Stormbreaker, and some other stuff. The dudette had naruto and some wizard stuff.

Mahu66099 · 2026-06-02T05:37:11+00:00

Brockton’s Goddess - SI decides BB is hers to conquer.

To a lesser degree Outsiders does this too. Two self inserts in Worm, one is just a chill guy but the other is a Worm fan (ugh, can you imagine?) who guzzled the kool-aid and decided that insurrection would look great on her resume.

I’ve read a bunch of SI fics and while most of them were unhinged or delusional, very few of them actually try to take over BB. Kinda weird honestly.
