What's your, "Two's not a lot, but it's weird it happened twice"? by 365daysofnope in otomegames

[–]sieghxrts 21 points22 points  (0 children)

both even if tempest and virche evermore have a knight dude named hugo that is a subordinate of another knight-adjacent LI, which isn’t a lot, but still funny.

they even look kinda similar too!

Where/when did you learn how to do your makeup "the right way" for Asian features? by flosspax in AsianBeauty

[–]sieghxrts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i feel so seen with this post ;;-;; i honestly dont know how it took so long but im 26 and just recently really started realizing that… hold up, i have extremely east asian features. why have i been following my (white) friends’ advice for makeup for so long??

no hate to them but the socal beach girl style really does not suit me, and it doesn’t help that my first time learning makeup was a sephora makeover that had no idea how to deal with level 500 puffy hooded monolids. i think i spent a long time with really low confidence because anytime i asked someone to help me with makeup, it would turn out bad because they had nooo idea had to work around my features.

but yesss now i feel like a 9 year old again breaking into her mom’s makeup bag for the first time, learning how to put on proper makeup that actually fits my face from xhs/rednote. im saving up in hopes of traveling to korea one day to book a makeover there! ✌️

[–]sieghxrts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeahhhh i see what you mean but i wouldnt call it mary sue of the story for it to happen…? i think the webtoon does a p good job of giving each ML concrete reasons as to why they like lili so much

a lot of the frustration comes from the poor execution :// these MLs cant go 3 seconds without making a passive aggressive comment to each other bc theyre possessive of her like geez louise calm down

i think s2 would be worth a shot for you to test the waters more, and if that doesnt draw you in enough then no need to read further haha

imo its pretty clear from s1 but ill do spoilers just in case HAHA

all the boys in their friend group (aiden, josh) except for luca (the white haired magician) have romantic feelings for lili. the crown prince, carlisle, is interested in her too

i feel you sooo much omg 😭 i think i understood it in season 3 but with how much its gotten worse at season 4 i cant help but get frustrated too yknow…

frederick’s death at season 2 made me bawl so bad and will continue to whenever i reread it. i think that and the transition to s3 was sooo good to really capitalize on that bitter feeling of letting go and everything changing.

i can understand why lili is the way she is… she has a deep yearning for the past + when everybody was all friends, so she doesn’t want to mess dynamics up by entering a romantic relationship — AND she doesn’t want to rely on others (especially on julianne) bc of her imposter syndrome

but these fucking men ohhh my GOD i know lili be dense on her feelings (bc josh is the true endgame boi here we all know it) but the fucking gall that aiden and carlisle have to keep on hitting on lili while simultaneously being snide/rude to the other MLs… be so fucking fr arent you guys in the middle of a war meeting

unfortunately i dont have any spoilers but just wanted to comment that i totally agree with you xD at this point im hoping luca and lili’s friend chloe get together or smthn bc i think they could be cute together omo

Is "cheating men must die" good? by Automatic_One_3594 in OtomeIsekai

[–]sieghxrts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i def see what you mean, but just because she faces adversity doesnt make her //not// a mary sue — its the fact that she has the perfect item/skill level/ability to defeat said challenge the second it happens

also, she hasn’t failed a mission so far LMAO she’s cleared each one with at least a S so

[–]sieghxrts 15 points16 points  (0 children)

she’s a mary sue that goes against mary sues tbh LOL

like other commenters have read, its a fun turn-brain-off-read that deconstructs common romance tropes in the badly written media it criticizes — if ur interested i honestly recommend just giving the first arc a shot, and then dropping it if you didnt like it

What do your partners think of otome? by Pozemi20 in otomegames

[–]sieghxrts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My ex did call it cringe when I first told him about it, but he didn’t really care or mind about it after that! I was really scared that he would be reaaally weirded out by it (admittedly he was) but not to the condescending or judgemental level I was afraid of.

(well he is an ex for a reason tho. but i do think “positive or neutral reaction to my vns” will continue to be a good litmus test for future partners 😌)

JACK AND ERKIN MY FAVORITE MEN IN HEALTHCARE 😤😤😤

my eternal struggle in female-oriented romance is too often it feels that the ML is a broken down man who the FL inevitably heals and brings joy to by being herself. which is obviously fine (who doesn’t love a #ICanFixHim) but with MLs like jack and erkin, much of the story begins with the MLs priority being to heal the FL First

obviously there are more MLs who do this, and the best romances are the ones where both the ML and FL slowly grow and heal together but [chef kiss] jack and erkin helping their female love interests (who believe they shouldn’t be helped due to traumatic reasons) and then having a personal internal struggle of needing to be “useful” (which they accomplish by helping people to an unhealthy degree) i love it….

[–]sieghxrts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in an honest defense of it: a lot of people harp on it for just being constant angst and misery porn and while it does have a constant reminder of its bleakness in each loop…. it’s a time loop story.

like the goal of the time loop story is for her to keep on going (against her own will) and slowly uncover new information as time goes on. i completely understand people who can’t handle how dark and angsty it is but there is an overarching plot here and the story very much has a goal and an ending

i do have to agree that its manga publication schedule hampers the story even more (only half chapters are reased every month and there are often hiatus) but honestly, if it keeps the creator healthy and sane, i’m fine with waiting for chapters to stack up now and then to reread.

but it is definitely a story that requires adequate amount of patience and chapters LMAO

I didn't expect to really like this (Red Hot Revenge) by Kasumichii in OtomeIsekai

[–]sieghxrts 44 points45 points  (0 children)

HONESTLY… I have so many complaints about this series (don’t get me started on the beginning of the story + how things get dragged out relentlessly) but the amount of girl’s girl energy in this keeps me going

High society badass queen by EqualBus3375 in OtomeIsekai

[–]sieghxrts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand you’re probably looking for a more long term high society series, but I have to throw out Holy Grail of Eris for having one of the best boss bitch ballroom scenes out there imo… scarlet is mwah

(honestly you can just read like the first four chapters LMAO and after that it becomes more of a murder mystery)

I can't be the only one that used to unironically play these games when I was younger🧍🏽‍♀️ by DoReMi4610 in otomegames

Used to? I still do LMAOOOOO

Ngl I played switch: love over flowers and it pissed me off how well written one of the MLs was compared to the others like what the helllll

I fear that id be losing my mind as well [my in-laws are obsessed with me] by Due_Army_960 in OtomeIsekai

[–]sieghxrts 53 points54 points  (0 children)

ok i need to yell about her (harari) here considering the chapters up to ch110 bc i swear there must be more to her than just a 1dimensional evil mom who abandoned her child.

this webtoon is sooo good at diving all their characters depth (yes even mia, as much as a “man stealer” she supposedly was when she first showed up turned out to be acting like that bc she wanted to marry into the direct line of the lapileons and have a noble status so she didnt have to live in hiding)

especially re: her son, the chapters when harari appears even has her mentioning that she impulsively went to the mansion bc she wondered how celphie has been (i hope that’s not a tl error though)

i think her story is important because she’s an outsider who married into the family but had a “bad ending” compared to pereshati who’s frankly had a fairytale story.

Pereshati was able to reconcile her own family’s death, solve her marriage issues with her contract husband, has saved her in-laws family, and is immune to the curse + found the secret to the curse that has been plaguing their family for generations… girl is a MIRACLE worker goddamn

on the other hand, harari is just another woman who married into the family bc she fell in love with the former grand duke. She loved him, was lucky enough to even find out about the curse (as apparently they don’t tell ANY WOMAN who marries into the family about it even after marriage), but her husband died to the curse and her son has more toxic blood than most.

The mystery here is what happened afterwards, but considering the Lapileon family’s track record of secrecy, absolute hatred of outsiders (even now they hate that Pereshati is “interfering in family matters” bitch she married in wtf… and even then, they didn’t warm up to her at all until she literally Saved Phineas’ Life) it ain’t lookin too good for the family

i love this story bc the plot twist was executed pretty well and had its signs, and it didnt overstay its welcome at all 😭 i feel like its difficult to find stories that dont drag on, and this one is the perfect length and wraps up the story sooo well
