I think you’re just into hard magic system but it was pretty clear from the beginning the entire magic concept was a soft magic system. There’s no rhyme or reason that the body switch only happened when they killed themselves in the beginning either.
Yeah and that’s what I was hoping be introduced to… also, idk what soft magic system is, but I would say in my opinion, it sounds like a fantasy story but the whimsy is not centered. The thing is, the body switching which is literally the plot is magic so ofc I would expect it to be whimsy and fantasy.
And I was js expecting that they would explain the main driving plot and how it works… but idk ig I’m just expecting something that’s out of the author’s picture.
Hard magic systems are when magic in the world has clearly defined rules and how it works is understood by the people in the world and the audience, think of Harry Potter where people can learn magic and cast spells by doing an xyz thing.
Soft magic systems are when magic in the world is not understood by the people in the world or the audience and is just there to serve as a plot point. Think of like Lord of the Rings where Gandalf and the ring powers are not explained but just exists to drive the plot forward. They’re seen as more mystical/high power rather than something humans are meant to utilize.
So that’s what LOTR is… I’m glad I didn’t waste my time watching it lol
Thanks for the info ヾ(☆▽☆)
[ps. I literally finished reading it 10 seconds ago n i forgot everyone’s name for forgive me]
The plot is at lowest one can get. The characters have enough depth to make you feel engaged (at least for ml and fml). I expected that they would have at least a little bit of explanation as to why they kept switching at random times and fail to switch back after touching each other, I feel like that’s one of the many plot holes that the author forgot that really stuck to me. But here’s my list of many little things that the author skimmed over:
- the house that fml lived for a year that they brought back home. I thought it would have some sort of significance in their relationship since that’s the place they spent the most repairing their relationship
- fml’s friend not being present in her wedding. Even her friend’s grandmother. Since they remarried with just their closest one, I expected that they would be there.
- the tattoo culture of ml’s mother side. I like how they tied it with the gods as a form of symbol, but it wasn’t properly stated if it’s permanent or not (ofc, we all know fml got a temporary one). Fml mentioned the tattoo of ml like 2-3 times yet we haven’t even had a glimpse of it even after having some panels of ml’s back.
- the ‘pure bloods can produce half bloods, but half bloods can only hope and pray to produce an offspring’. I thought the ‘going to alika region arc will have some sort of information as to why it’s literally a common knowledge that half bloods cannot have children (even ml’s parents know of it). Instead, we were fed of ml experiencing 7 years of agony mourning for illusion fml.
Thats all I can think of lol (●'◡'●)ﾉ
