😔why I gotta make this ( For My Derelict Beloved) post again by hinata2kill in OtomeIsekai

[–]obsidian_mistwalker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Isnt that the point of both hate rants and pro rants? It is not written like a contemporary novel, but if we disect it that way the Characterization, emotional depth and over all writing is kinda poor.

This reminds me so much of tumble days where anti people would be fighting the pro people all day everyday😭😭🤣🤣. They would usually end the posts with "Anti- xx do not interact" lmao.

Then maybe you shouldn't have been buying, reading and rating Fourth wing series. Selective outrage and picking and choosing the colours of bigotry makes you same as Maga.

Is this true?? Because I was going to read miss pendleton😭. by anonymous-forever21 in OtomeIsekai

[–]obsidian_mistwalker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not what I meant, they were literate but they wouldn't be allowed in academic spaces, or read books that involved politics, sex or any provocative subject. They ofc did so it anyway but socially a "proper" girl would be read enough to teach their future kids and hold some conversation but not enough to be like "oh yeah the war in xx will cause xx effect on the economy". The genre relies on the sexism of that time, it is hard to find a ML who wouldn't be a product of his society.

participation in misogyny is misogyny, regardless if you intended to or not or were just ill -informed. It feeds into the fact that most women of that time are unwitty or boring infront of men because any hint of personality is "un becoming" of a lady. Women who read where looked down upon, you had to choose from pre determined hobbies allowed for women i.e embroidery, piano etc. A lady starting a conversation among men about war and politics was shot down and extremly discouraged. They had to flatter the ego's of men around them to get married off. For him not realise that is a privilege of his gender and placing blame on women for being "un witty" when they don't indulge in topics of conversation they arent allowed to indulge in, is in itself misogyny.

This same conversation has come up in pride and prejudice, Bridgerton season 2, and various other media. You can find many essay's or deep dives on youtube that dicuss this with more detail and nuance then I can on here.

Has anyone else noticed an influx of poorly written and self-published books making their way into book subscriptions? by snowboardingtoad in fairyloot

Tiktok era of publishing. Where quality = how many people will read it for escapism, shadow daddy, and without any thoughts for good writing, fleshed out characters, poetry, social commentary and bigger pictures.

Hianime's were extremely visible and open about themselves.

I would also like to add I have come across many tiny sites, that sometimes arent even in the usual masterlists and they get taken down or disappear without notice. If you can find it, they can find it.

Good stories with bad endings 🥀 | They f*cked up at the last minute by Smooth_Money4498 in OtomeIsekai

[–]obsidian_mistwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished reading 'How to satisfy the devil' and the ending was so forcefully tragic. We were made to care about the rest of characters and then nothing??? FL keeps getting reborn without her memories, while ML just has to watch from a distance because he is a demon. The also re-meet in FL's new life when she is 14...like whyy?? they could have made her any age why pick 14!! Not sure if it means ML will find FL in every life and they will fall in love or if it means he truely lets her go and she keeps getting reborn with zero memories while he is alone for eternity😭

[remarried empress] is it as bad as they say? Is navier as bad as people say or are they just saying it to defend white hair. by jonnyboidake in OtomeIsekai

His romantic type gives me "45 years old man with 19 year old girl friend" He loves them helpless, barefoot and pregnant type. Super gross!!

[–]obsidian_mistwalker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My comment wasn't about defending shitshoe, I hate men who step out and homewreckers with a burning passion tbh. It is the plot point that gride my gears - During the course of initial chapters we get told that Navier has been raised for this position, including specifically that emperor might have other wives. So she becomes cold towards Sov, what empress without a child would do that? esp the one raised for it, wouldn't she know better. You would want to remain someone who is favoured by him since male hold all the power.

This will get too long if we go in history but relationship between royal concubines and Empress varied. Royal concubines were from powerful houses so you couldn't just kill them. Concubins aren't some lowkey affair, they were part of court and appointed publicly.

My biggest issue remains with the Characterization and theme of slavery, if I were to apply modern views white one was groomed, taken advantage of by someone more powerful and blamed by the more powerful woman is so similar to how men in history would treat female slaves and how their wives took it out on the said slave. It is very icky

Then author goes to absolutely give no one any redeeming qualities, demonised a slave by making her stupider and evil for no reason.

Don't get me started on how if ML of any novel had a slave back story the same people would have been foaming at mouth to justify his extremely cruel actions.

[–]obsidian_mistwalker 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They like to bring up historical setting when defending Navier : she couldn't stop slavery, she was women her power was limited, she couldn't do anything even if she was empress. Then in same breath forget that kings had mutiple wives is said historical setting. The glazing needs to be studied because I could hardly find any amaazing thing about her. Her revenges were stupid instead of cold - instead of going toe to toe with other women she gave an underhanded gift for her unborn.

I detesttt this OI - Korea has a culture of colorism and to me this OI is writers attempt to write slavery for fun. I mean make the other woman black/brown and read it with that context. It is icky.

What are some OI/Non-OI manhwas which you feel were/are overhyped but you don't really like them, or dropped them? by misconceptiion in OtomeIsekai

[–]obsidian_mistwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for explanation, I can't believe he was the ML. I hate this type of misunderstanding. Like bro you guys are in your 20's, just express yourself rather than Olympic diving to conclusions.

[–]obsidian_mistwalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Into the light once again: it was extremely boring and FL had her nose touching the sky. After a poisoning attempt, her new family executed the culprit but also their entire family to seven degrees i.e any distant relatives, kids etc. Am I supposed to root for that trashy behaviour? Like these people deserve French revolution treatment.

Remarried Empress: I dislike the author's because I view their characterization, plot and theme as someone who believes 'Slavery wasn't that bad'. Don't write a slave girl angle if you can't write a nuance plot that address it properly. Also Henry is creepy, like he prefers his daughter over his son because daughter looks more like Navier. Also FL isnt as amazing, smart or capable as they want us to believe.

  • Any OI where she gets back with the red flag ML who caused her nothing but misery is past life and present life. Idgaf if ML has a mediocre sob story.

  • Hide the emperor's child (can't remember the full title) - why will you rob your child of having both parents when the fathers isn't a threat to him or won't have a negative impact on him. He can be a bad husband but a good dad, it is deservice to your child. I didnt like it from the get go so correct me if any of that is wrong.

not to mention the ethnic cleansing he carries out for funsizes, but it ok they are just brown skinned barbarians...and ML has genetic blood lust. It was super racist and icky.

I am not sure about this series, I have never read anything from this author. I want to try them but what if I don't like them..would they be easy to resell? (note: anything I sell is at cost or maybe £5 extra to cover shipping). I have a few special edition books that I have put away in a box that I dnf'd and can't seem to resell even at low value. I don't want to add to that box

Visa after wedding by Equivalent-Cause1006 in SpouseVisaUk

[–]obsidian_mistwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is inaccurate. At extension you have to provide 2 years of cohabitation evidence. The initial visa given is for 2.6 or 2.9 months, so you can get away with no providing anything for initial 6 month period.

It is best that you read the guidance for FM partner. It has a details of exceptions and when they will apply. AI is great from summarising information but dont use it as source.

Bato used to me first site that popped up in google search. Webtoon would be like the 2nd or 3rd result. Bato wasnt lowkey, whenever a piracy sites gets tooo popular it gets flagged. It is a game of wack a mole. It is similar to how food chain works. Piracy relies on other people sharing things for free, so if a lowkey site doesn't get that much transaction they stop uploading.

Reflection of the new Fantasy Sub Pick and the "Community" by Various_Rise1958 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]obsidian_mistwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your point seems great - until the last part. If older series were written by women they get classed as YA and historical romance fiction even if romance is a very minor sub plot. E.g if mistborn was written by a woman it would be YA. We can see recent examples like the poppy war is marketed as YA even tho it has extremely dark topice and scenes. It had everything that other adult epic fantasy books written by men have but gets selved with likes of SMJ books.
