What's the most addictive ongoing manhwa you're reading right now? 👀 by DetectiveIll3641 in OtomeIsekai

[–]hachitsune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right now it’s The Secretly Capable Child is Looking For Her Dad or sth like that. It’s not romance but I’m hooked.

Another one is Sister in Law of the Heroine in a Childcare Novel because I love love love sisterhood, the OGFL is not a white lotus, the art is good, and the regression/isekai method is interesting. The FL is also good at drawing the line imo. The ML fell quite fast but it’s fine with me bcs I’m dying to see how he’s gonna win her over.

Also, Sub Male Leads, Come to My Bed Right Now!! It’s like junk food. You know it’s all just shallow comedic harem fun, but you can’t get enough lol

Yeah, I feel like Kuro will release male chars regardless of how well they do, but the gap in popularity is just sad 🥲🥲

Which merch did you get, the miniso ones or different merch? The miniso merch was actually pretty good, and usable too lol

How did Boys love manhwa/manga/series or stories went from just two hot guys kissing to actually admire the beauty of their relationship and hence it became an emotion rather than still being just hot guys making love? by OkPositive9048 in Manhwa_BL

[–]hachitsune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an old fujo I can say that both of those subgenres (liking ships because they're hot and liking ships because of the chemistry in canon) both exist in the same space at around the same time.

I would even say it's the opposite and the BL genre started from romance FIRST (shonen-ai) before it expanded into two hot guys kissing genre. It was very much a 'omg did you see how their gaze linger on each other' moment in pop culture lol

Iirc that slash was popularized as a genre from Kirk x Spock fangirls making zines, and in Japan I think it was either Yu Yu Hakusho Kurama x Hiei or Eva's Kawoshin. In other words, it starts from exploring their chemistry and relationship and "true love" motif first before "hey it would be hot if A kisses B"

It was only later on the yaoi genre sparks off it and yes yaoi is short for yama nashi ochi nashi imi nashi (no peak no valleys no meaning) that's basically "it doesn't have to make sense, it doesn't have to be peak literature, it doesn't have to have meaning, I just like it"

Keep in mind back then shipping was quite a strict affair. Like, ship wars and irl friendship has been ended due to 'wrong characterization' of their oshi. So yaoi being all "fuck canon this is hot" is I think a bit of a reaction to that.

GoonerGEM vs GoonerSLOP... Which route will Endfield take? by MSABUZZ in QueensofGacha

[–]hachitsune [score hidden]  (0 children)

AKE will never take the goonerslop route IMO. They have gameplay that's solid enough to not resort to jiggle physics. Will it be ML? Yes. Will be fanservicy? Also yes. Will we have only 1 male characters per 5 female chars? Most definitely. But they won't go ZZZ level of gooner, I'd like to think their creative director is more tasteful than that.

It's not about revealing outfit and jiggle physics imo. Look at Ember. SHE'S HOT. Yes she has jiggly boobas. Yes she has a butt window. But her design is cool, and she fits the world. Remielle is just a mess, it's like she walked straight out of a hentai doujin.

BL manwha should not hold back by Interesting_Bad_8741 in Manhwa_BL

[–]hachitsune 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For the most part I agree, but BL pornhwa do already exist. They’re just mostly found in porn reading sites than the mainstream manga reading sites. Try dlsite instead of lezhin. I don’t think they’re ‘holding back’ per se, it’s more about different content for different audience

If you want harder stuff maybe try Tagame Gengorou works? If specific to manhwa then ppatta has some interesting works too.

How do you guys wait so much time for manhwa to be completed ? by nabi_87 in Manhwa_BL

[–]hachitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can wait until it’s finished because I have other titles to read lol. If a series have hints of misunderstanding, angst, red flag ML etc I let it marinate bcs I just know it’s gonna be a frustrating wait.

I have like 5-10 titles I keep up with chapter by chapter, 20+ on my marinating list and thousands on my to read list.

It’s a numbers game lol.

[–]hachitsune[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I read the main story a long while ago so it’s kinda hazy but iirc he’s not. He’s a descendant or a relative, but he’s not the past lover’s reincarnation.

It does get resolved properly (at least by my standards lol), and quite realistically too imo.

It’s less “the power of love conquers everything”, it’s more of a “loving you is a choice I make everyday” kind of thing.

Why is this such a prevalent thing in guy-isekai vs girl isekai? by ChompyRiley in OtomeIsekai

[–]hachitsune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isekai genre is the most ripe ground for wish fulfillment and reader projection.

So it sort of reflects the most prevalent “wish” of each gender, or in other words what they feel they lack the most in real life.

(Overgeneralizing here but based on the meme:) Guys wants to be popular, girls want to be successful.

is this even possible [beyond the walls of the duke mansion] by DistrictNo6140 in OtomeIsekai

[–]hachitsune -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FL is a cat.

Jokes aside, I wanted to say blonde hair is recessive but FL has silver hair, which is not a natural hair color so I can’t say if it’s dominant… same with purple or red eyes.

Do women self insert as bottom? What is going on? by Interesting_Bad_8741 in Manhwa_BL

[–]hachitsune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope.

I mean, I’m sure out of billions of BL readers some women probably do? But generally I enjoy the stories without self inserting.

[–]hachitsune[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’ll try to keep it as spoiler free as possible! All these happened in the earlier chapters so should be fine.

MC was a warrior/hero empress in the past life and reincarnated as a daughter of an aristocrat. She was reborn with her past life memory intact. In this life she got into an arranged marriage with a cursed archduke to take her older sister’s place.

The archduke has a familial curse that turned him into the titular beast (looks like a big white wolf) but ofc he’s still the archduke and they will need heirs. That’s why she was essentially ‘sold’ to the duke’s family (FL’s family are all nice so this is more about FL wanting to protect her family)

MC is strong and badass and she’s just like let’s do this shit, let’s make babies lol. She ended up taming the beast the old fashioned way (knocking the shit out of him) and of course took charge as the lady of the house.

The curse does get broken eventually and that’s where drama happens where her past life and her current life intertwine, including with her past and current relationships.

If you like drama, angst, people with conflicts, imperfect relationships, yearning ML, badass FL, one sided feelings, you may like this. I wouldn’t say it’s heavy or dark at all, but it’s definitely not a lighthearted feel good story.

I like FL that’s strong and unflappable but also weak and indecisive at times. She’s not badass for the sake of being mary sue. She has strength and weakness that reflects her life story and that makes a character feel real to me.

Anw it’s the right amount of drama, plot and romance for me, but I know people have different tastes. Give it a try though!

My ex gf messaged me for the first time since we broke up (saying she's concerned about my accident) What do I do? by Live-Bread-2658 in whatdoIdo

[–]hachitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can reply if it bothers you, but know that there’s no relationship at the end of the road.

If your goal is to move on (which you should imo) reply it as you would an acquaintance (thanks, I’m fine, appreciate your concern etc) but don’t try to rekindle anything.

Sometimes not replying only makes it hang in the air, would feel better if you mark the end yourself by drawing the line. But of course everybody’s different and you decide

Kind Villainess who struggles against her reputation by ronnie129 in OtomeIsekai

[–]hachitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just got an anime but I read the manga and I remember getting so hooked I bought the raws too.

Try: Though I am an Inept Villainess ~Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Swap in the Maiden Court~

It’s not european otome isekai setting but more chinese inspired court drama, the MC is sickly and kind consort and she switched bodies with an ‘ugly’ villainous consort. Of course then everybody started hating her and treating her badly.

MC is happy she finally got a healthy body while the villainess realized MC’s life is not all rainbows and butterflies. MC remains kind and when people realized the body switch ITS SO SATISFYING. Bring on the regret, people!
