Literal God's Manga

Good start. Translation on the latest chapters does it no favours. But good start.

There's no chemistry with anyone in this manga. The protagonist is a waste of space. I would honestly be more interested if the brother was the protagonist. His revenge story is more interesting than everything else here. The ml seems to be the knight, and he's just as cardboard as the fl.

Girl gets isekai'd into her sisters WiP webnovel as the villainous fake princess. Choosing to help the ofl before bowing out, she finds there's more to this story than she thought, and the ending is hers to write.

I think I disagree with a lot of opinions on this. I think it's fun, interesting and I'm not too bothered by the flaws. I like the small ways it deviates from the standard, like not having every male suddenly fall for the mc.

MC: Kind type
ML: Shy type

A lot of people are unhappy with the ending to this one. It's really not that bad. If you are a BL fan you likely have had to deal with the bs endings in shounen-ai where the couple ends up obviously together but not explicitly stated, and this is on that level. It makes sense for the story since the ml doesn't have any status and is still pretty shy. But for the straight girlies who are used to getting what they want the way they want it from their manga, I can see why it would be more annoying than it is for me. I followed Silver Diamond as it was coming out. On my disappointment scale that's a 10 and this is a 5.

As to the plot holes there are some ngl. Not as many as I think people believe. I feel like this is being kept open for a sequel but that could be completely wrong. In a lot of cases, people perceive plotholes where there aren't any just because things are easily missed.

For example:

We are explicitly told why the priestess did what she did. She did what she did to escape her fate. She had been trapped in her role from a young age, and I think it's safe to conclude she was conscious of the story. She had no freedom, and felt like she had no choices in her life. There was no point to her life. So she sought to break the story so she could finally obtain freedom. It's pretty sad that it ended with her being trapped once more. I hope they execute her and she has a better time in her next life instead of keeping her locked up.

The reason the Kron girl did what she did was similar. She wanted to escape her fate. While the priestess's fate was caused by the church, a powerful organization, the Kron's fate was caused by racism and slavery. Each of them had hatred for the world they were living in and didn't see why they should be chained to it. So they tried to break the chains.

The pace is on the slow side but fine, the protagonist is good, the art isn't groundbreaking but it's average.
My entire rating of this is mostly because I'm ecstatic to see an unapologetic player fl. After so many Chinese webtoons that stress the virtuous 'pure' character type, I'm thoroughly over them.

Honestly she has the most chemistry with 'Juliana' but the ml is

Zion.

Thanks to the previous reviewers who let everyone know this is another homophobic shoujo where gay characters magically change sexuality.

I figured as this kind of plot usually comes from someone who has never read BL a day in their lives, but having it confirmed saves on hope.

Why do all shoujo end up with a bad translator halfway through?

That you ask for support when you can't translate is baffling to me.

Ok.
I have no problem with incest in manga.

I like dark manga.

But ffs don't make it boring!

Ok so WHY can't you call Abel daddy? There's a line of people wanting to call Abel daddy. What does it matter that he was the enemy of the original? The fuck?

This is the most important conflict in this story.

This can get homophobic very, very easily so I'm reserving judgment until I see how it plays out.
There's an issue with the fl's logic here. She keeps saying that her brother has a duty to bear an heir, and she has an issue with how the bl world 'sacrifices princesses' to bear the heirs on behalf of the men in the world. In this world, the duty falls on her, not her brother. By trying to leave her duty behind, she is in fact, doing what she is criticizing her brother for. Her criticism doesn't apply to him, it only applies to her. Because her assumption about his duty only applies to her origin culture.

And that doesn't seem to be deliberate hypocrisy. I could be wrong, and I will see how this goes. I don't like when straight manga tries to turn queer characters straight as it's far too close to the discrimination we experience irl. So if it goes that route, it will get the lowest rating.

On the plus side, the art is good and I presently like the background characters. I'm with the mc for her fight as long as it doesn't go in a homophobic direction.
