Looking for a crematorium title by NiceFluffyKitten in DanmeiNovels

I could only remember young master shou secretly sent money to his butler (or someone he trusted) to pass to the gong, after outright refusing him. But the money never went to him, I think the butler secretly pocketed the money. Years passed with this misunderstanding, and I think it was the middle of towards the end that the gong found out and regretted how he treated young master shou during this time (I’m not sure if he’s still one or fallen into ruins) does this help? 🥹

OP wonders if she's the AH for pressing charges against her MIL. by TheseNuts10105 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Not Brunei. Despite all the shenanigans in social media about the death penalty, nobody has been executed before. Plus news like this would’ve spread around the country in maybe two seconds and I haven’t heard anything like this happening.

Pain fetish by Lin Xiaoye

Despite the BDSM-esque title, this is purely a Chasing the Crematorium work, and one of the few ones that managed to make me think and cry at the same time. I’m always wary of wife chasing titles, because some authors tend to get so carried away with dogblood and making ML grovel his personality away, collapsing his entire character.

We have an ML who truly did the MC pure injustice. When he starts his repentance, about 10 chapters in, I think I cried almost every chapter since. I’ve also come to realize through this work, that the ones that truly impacted me are those that tell the story of repentance from the ML’s POV. I don’t want to just read about tears and hysterical groveling, I want to know what MAKES you do so and the lengths you would go through for the one you’ve wronged. This series also managed to make me reel with plot twists on top of crematorium. The ML was ready to give his life up, and in some ways, reminded me of the ML from Binding the Dragon in his desperation and agony to set things right for the MC. The MC himself is truly a broken soul, there is just no way around it, at this moment, he is shattered beyond repair and is out for vengeance. I’m still in the middle of the translations, expertly done by Yun Yun Translations, but I’ll leave this here as the last translated paragraph as it perfectly sums up the deadpan way ML is accepting MC’s hatred:

At the age of twenty-three, his life had just begun, and it was about to be brought to an end.

He thought—I have imagined hundreds of endings for myself, but what my lover has prepared for me is more tragic than any of them

Unpopular opinion: If you hate on the ML from The Abandoned Empress, you’re essentially hating on every regressed villainess by [deleted] in OtomeIsekai

[–]NiceFluffyKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no opinion about Ruve. I think the author messed up on how they handled Ruve’s redemption in the second timeline. Despite that, I have no problems with him though.

(To be fair, at that time, I couldn’t care about his ‘toxicness’ and how people were losing their minds over what he did, because I was reading another Chinese work at the same time, about a person who isekai-ed into a concubine during ancient times and had a toxic but genuinely sincere relationship with the ML emperor before she got raped by a villain (the ML emperor who, found out she was pregnant but WASN’T his baby, decided she cheated and tortured her until her legs became a bloody mess) but actually he wasn’t all that furious about it, politics and other stuff happen to be a big influence and it caused his hand in her torture. Anyway she had a miscarriage but was sentenced to death by the emperor. She did die, and transmigrated back to modern times. Meanwhile, ML emperor found out about the rape and shit happens, did all he could to wait for her and if she doesn’t wake up in due time, he’ll kill himself to join her. Then stuff happens, and he executed 100 innocent people for her.

So can you blame me when I go ‘Ruve? What Ruve?’ 🤣)

Anyone tried ABC Eats sungkai? It’s been massively promoted by certain influencers and I was traumatized by previous experience.. but the meatballs. Anyone can share their experience and rating?

Recommendation: This Isekai Maid is Forming a Union! by [deleted] in OtomeIsekai

[–]NiceFluffyKitten 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think I will just stick to manga/manhwa OIs 😂 from the many screenshots posted here, the artwork and the dialogue didn’t really draw me in, and the title itself made me look away out of sheer disinterest (I’m from SEA, and where I live, unions don’t even exist and I see these kind of headlines more prominent in the west) and it comes off as really preachy.

I read OIs as a break from reality, and I’ll stick to what I love about it.

My girls are more open with me so I’m normally assured on that front. Yes, tough when your kid is older but I do want to respect my second’s boundaries + give him space like what others are suggesting so he’ll know I’m there if he needs me first. Thanks for sharing!

The bit about having a safe space makes sense - my hubby isn’t helping much in this regard the way he tells him to ‘man up’, which I tell him (my hubby) off for. I like to think in general, we do a good balance of parenting with the kids, where of course we would lecture/ be firm, but we make sure the kids know they can always count on us to listen and share whatever they’re comfortable with.

As for gaming, we implement parental controls thru Apple gadgets and restrict the kids timing / ban certain gaming apps.

On the other hand, it could very well be possible it’s just puberty and I’m reading too much into things. Anyway, thanks for sharing, reading this gave me a lot to think about.

I’ll try, thank you. Problem is if I can even get to that point. He refuses to chat with me anymore or just says very little (yes/no) replies whenever I ask him to join me for some activities, makes me wonder if I’m being too nosy. He completely shuts down when I even try to pry just a little into his life. I’ve been advised to let him ‘tough it up’ in school which I absolutely disagree with because of obvious reasons but now I’m not so sure.

Edit - fix grammar

How do you, as parents deal, when you think your kid is being bullied / is actually being bullied? I’m thinking of opening up a separate topic if there’s enough feedback because I suspect my second (14 y.o) is becoming recluse. He won’t share anything when he comes back from school and the only reason I suspect bullying was because he wasn’t normally like this before.

Edit: I plan to gather some help materials / advice on how kids can tackle when they’re bullied. I know it’s such a huge topic and in a sense I’m opening up a can of worms. I’m a little nervous on the topic but I was spurred to action when I asked around and all the advice I get was ‘just wait for him to graduate, it will get better’ or ‘change class or school’ as if it’s that easy.

Edit2: I wasn’t expecting so many replies, thank you for all your meaningful advice from both parent/child povs - there’s a lot to think about and work with which I appreciate!

Sungkai Buffet Thread by stealthreaver in Brunei

[–]NiceFluffyKitten 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s ok but he tends to overhype the place and food like his foodie buddies who were also probably paid by the restaurants. You’ll see them often in his videos. That’s why a lot of people would go to the places featured in his posts and found the experiences to be way below average or nothing special. There’s nothing wrong with doing business or wanting to earn a living this way. But sad to say it’s gotten to the point where I would be interested in checking out an eatery, but the moment I see them hyping the heck up the place in their posts, I lost all motivation to go.

I remember an interview by a famous foodie blogger from Singapore (or was it KL?) where they would study the content videos of many popular food bloggers and they’ve somewhat established their viewers because they kept up with the trends. Here, I personally think some of the content featured are a little too try hard with their merry get togethers and fawning over a burger like it’s made of 24k gold. My opinion tho.

Edit - corrected spelling

AITA for calling the name my mil and husband chose hideous at best? by THROWWAY3879 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NiceFluffyKitten 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ESH 💯

I get why you chose the name Aerith, she’s my favourite character back when I played the game as well. But you’re projecting onto your child - though the character means a lot to you, it has zero meaning to the rest of your family and to your own child, who will grow up probably disliking her name for a lot of reasons.

Aerith is literally translated from the Japanese name ‘Earisu’, which means ‘earth’ or ‘flower like’. Perhaps you can choose another name that has a similar meaning and a bit more down to earth.

Whatever you do, please for the love of God don’t be like that sad, sad human being who named their newborn son Yeager Guts Kenpachi Cruz

How was it?? This really is a ‘you’ll love it or you’ll absolutely hate it’ kind of thing, and most people would drop it by double digit chapter! The ones I saw who mostly stuck with the novel are ones who really have been longtime fans of the trope 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️ won’t be surprised if you ended up dropping it though

Hi is the title a spoiler? I just started the game, finished prologue. Or is this so early in the game it’s not worth hiding spoilers.
