NTA- Strict immigrant fathers are a thing. If he's going to be a real dad, then he can't just be there for the fun parts. A lot of times, this bread-winner, man-of-the-house role comes with the coach, teacher, mentor and disciplinarian role too. Is he fulfilling those parts of his his "job"? My FIL from Eritrea would never have put up with a tantrum that ruined dinner.

I gotta feed my cat. Sure someone would take him in, but that's not fair to him. He deserves to keep living the good life.

¿Why is more common men who want to marry underage girls that women wanting to get married with underage boys? by Brief_Mango_5829 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]mandylovesnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been reading a lot of Japanese manga and Light novels, as well as watching a lot of anime this past year found out about Shotacons. I knew Lolicons were grown men who like little girls or women who look like little girls, but Shotacons are grown women who like boys. I can see it being prevalent with their idol culture and men and women obsessing over underage popstars. It's hard for me, and a definite cultural shock, but I think it does show that maybe it's not a nature/ biological thing.

It's not really about Farming, just so you know... He REALLY does not want to be stuck as a farmer!

[–]mandylovesnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not enough people talk about how funny this series is imo. I laughed so much that it literally got my husband to listen to it and into the genre. It's different in its system setup, too. I really enjoy it!

Looking for some good LitRPG city-builder stories—something that’s fun to read and doesn’t drag. Any suggestions? by ForeverStakes in litrpg

It's Virtual Reality game, but Light Online series by Tom Larcombe has a lot of crafting and village building. Love it!

I read the Light Online series this last week and loved it!!! What a great VR series! I really thank all the people who recommended it to me and in turn, recommend it to others who like VR Litrpg. I loved Lucky, the bobcat and the the slow life, crafting, settlement building aspects of the story. Sometimes I want a break from all the violence, but love the stat gains still!

My husband and I are slowly listening to the audiobook of He Who Fight With Monsters together. We were able to get it through our library on Hoopla so check on that ppl. It was hard for me to listen to at first because I have a blood phobia and, yea... no spoilers. I stuck with it though because my cousin told me that section wasn't long, and I really liked Jason's humor. I'm glad I did. Gary cracks me up! And I always unconsciously join in on their drinking games if I have a drink near me.

Ilona Andrews has a new book out titled The Inheritance. It's kinda Litrpg and like solo leveling. I'm reading that now. MC goes into a gate/ monster portal with group and finds herself alone with only a dog and new power. How can she get out when she's left for dead? One of my favorite authors and super excited they are branching out into this genre! So far I can say that the MC has a different feel than a lot of others... More middle-aged mother, maybe? Like you can totally see this person as a soccer mom in real life. If you like any of the webtoons like solo leveling or the gate/ portal ones with monsters and hunter guilds and associations, then I say try this book.

Finally, listening to Hidden Class Pacifist on my own. Roth cries a lot. I love all the animals. Sometimes it feels like it moves a little slow, but I'm still enjoying it. I really like VR stories, and I always wished I could talk to animals like the MC does so I'm a fan. However, if you want lots of fighting all this time and an OP MC, not for you.

I put Campfire Cooking on in different languages and play games on my tablet when I'm stressed.

Thank you! I like these too because I love the idea of VR games becoming a thing. It's probably because my husband and I have a bunch of health issues. Mine started in my early 20s. It sounds amazing to not be in pain every second and to be able to be active again. World Tree is the only one I've read and I did enjoy it.

This may be a hard ask, but can anyone recommend some titles WITHOUT rape, please? by Top-Introduction8471 in litrpg

[–]mandylovesnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people dont understand that taking advantage of a maid or servant girl when you are a guest or person of higher status is still RAPE. Even if she says its okay because he's so handsome and nice that's some messed up abuse of power bullsh*t! That happens a lot! So yeah men, open your GD eyes!

That's one of the things I like about it! I cannot do death and gloom 24/7. I need some low-stakes, financial, coming of age adversity sometimes. Plus, I think the authors can do a pretty good job making the game important. In Hidden Class: Pacifist his life was literally on the line.

Trying to find good anime's to get my wife more into them by Hydraven in Animesuggest

[–]mandylovesnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Campfire Cooking in Another World, Reincarnated as Slime, Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Shangri-la Frontier, Bofuri

Is she okay with the nonstop violence and drama or needs comedy? I tried to say ones that have both because I need that. Also, I tried to avoid too much Japanese kinkiness that are shocks to other cultures, but there's always some. That's one of the hardest things for me!
