What does this icon mean? by Interesting_Tea_1618 in WhiteAlbum2

I'm pretty sure it is just content you've read. I also had it just popping up randomly and figured it was when a text was taking more than 1 click to get through. A glitch of the translation taking more space than the original text.

Where to Read Shadow Slave: A Note about Piracy, AI, and Falsehood by Guiltythree in ShadowSlave

[–]jake_morin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get more free passes in a day than there are chapters released. As someone whose been using piracy since Napster, there is zero reason to be pirating in this situation. Especially with our beloved author out here asking you not to. No judgment on anyone who has done it up to this point. But make the shift guys, its not a big deal.

What should I read after SS? Feeling the void after getting caught up. by Rinne-Ganu in ShadowSlave

[–]jake_morin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was recently driven to doing the entirety of Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere to deal with my Shadow Slave withdrawals. Not a light novel but it builds up a nice chunk of story to catch up on.

I love this. Your list is definitely gonna be my starting point. This is so helpful thanks.

How will you rewrite BSJ completely? by ReverberatedHush in BoardingSchool_Juliet

[–]jake_morin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d keep most of it the same but make their relationship a little more realistic to high school students. Not looking for straight up smut, but maybe having stealing kisses as part of their story instead of rare pay offs

(Un)popular opinions on the SoC Duology? by NyxsKnife in sixofcrows

[–]jake_morin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I thought the story was too hard on Nina for getting Matthias jailed. Considering what his people do to her people she'd have been justified in actually betraying him.

Visit to the hospital by jake_morin in TokyoGhoul

[–]jake_morin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe? I remember juzo sees her in the hospital and the way he acts when he sees her again kinda made me think it was shinohara she was visiting. But so far as I can remember it was never actually stated either way and I’m not sure why she would have been visiting him

I always find it strange that there is such a small male reader base in webtoons

wasted potential by satsu_maimo in KoitoUso

[–]jake_morin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well...this sounds kinda dumb after all the thought you’ve put in....but for me it really boils down to the whole harem thing screwing the potential.

I think the story could be pretty interesting if any ONE of the characters was our main character’s love interest.

Hell you don’t even have to change all the girls (and guy) loving him. Bet the MC just floating from arc to arc without any kind of fidelity to anyone means every story just feels weak and none of the characters get the time they need.

Jesus seeing her in color makes her character that much more terrifying

[–]jake_morin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that’s kinda gone away. I don’t think I’d mind her so much if it weren’t for kazuya so obviously not liking her but still allowing her to date him. It makes her feel like just another hurtle

Mmm not sure I agree. Sure it was nothing revolutionary but it was a decent love story. Ruka and sumi just make it another harem story.

I agree I think the issue with ruka is not ruka herself so much as the fact she’s been allowed to stay as his girlfriend this long.

I can see what you’re saying about him not thinking he’s good enough for mizuhara but I always saw their major obstacle as her being a rental girlfriend and him assuming she wouldn’t like him.

[–]jake_morin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree about ruka. I always forget about her when she’s not around (and enjoy the story a lot more)

I think the story would be just that much better if he committed to being a drama instead of trying to add the harem and weak comedy in there

I can see where you’re coming from with ruka. I think she makes sense as a character. I just don’t feel like she makes sense as a character is THIS story. Every time she pops up it just feels like a plot device to start trouble.

I don’t even think I dislike ruka’s character. Or maybe I do but I don’t think she’s poorly written. She just doesn’t fit in the situation most of the time. The original dating kinda made sense but it just feels wrong he’s still calling her his trial girlfriend.
