Few chapters in, everyone is pissing me off except the ML. I truly do love the trope with the FL and the ML but her choices are quite annoying for someone that likes the ML. Even if she thinks that he doesn’t like her back, isn’t it still a valid reason to choose the ML whos been your friend for years over some blonde guy you’re not even a fan of?
The only reason her actions is justified is bc she’s shown as a pushover who’s too kind. I’m annoyed but everyone in the comments are saying good things, so I’m curious how this is going to get better
Okay, I read the whole thing. It does get better. I wish the process was handled a little better though, but in the end, the FL has major character development in the way she acts. It does feel satisfying to see her stop and think about what she should do next.
Chan also becomes bearable, I didn’t rlly care much for his backstory. However, the positive tiny scenes of chan and the ML does make a difference in how the story went, like how its nice that there are no hard feelings between them.
Guys, please let me know if its harem. I like this story but harem is just a deal breaker & its quite annoying. No “i think” or “maybes” I need confirmation from someone who’s read the novel or something. Is he marrying them all? Is it confirmed to be harem?
Seeing the first chapter, I was prepared to see reincarnation in the same world setting (medieval) but time passed a little. I didn’t expect the story to be in a modern world setting. I like it so far. I think the slime race are very cute, their art style just makes them so cuddly, I feel bad when people makes them look stupid :(
This story is unbelievably intriguing. I want to know what happened through seeing the characters but it has so little chapters. This is the first time I’ve been tempted to read the novel but I really don’t want to spoil myself since I want to read it with visuals. At the same time, I’m dying to know what happens
We’re ~40 chapters in and I’m feeling the frustrations already. I can’t even imagine the amount of misunderstandings and misery this manhwa will have. To save myself from this madness, I’m dropping it Good luck to you all. I knew since he said “when did I say that?”, the rest will just be a ride of annoyances.
(If someone read the novel, can you spoil it for me ty!)
Is this due to translation or a culture difference. I just feel like the reoccurring “leave it to your sister” “younger brother” titles is a little weird especially if there’s a romance narrative going on between them
Apart from it being weird though. The constant brother/sister is so annoying. I want the romance to progress already and they keep bringing that up. It’s almost like I’m also getting friendzoned just from being the viewer
It is both its like using oppa to any guy except they're really not siblings, you can use it on anyone for example in chinese a guy dropped his water bottle you can say to them gege you dropped your water bottle. And in filipino you can say kuya how much is this? When you're in the grocery and not be related. The english language kinda just use it as it is but in asia such words can be used when addressing someone. not just "brother" tho you can use uncle,aunt,sister when you talk to someone you dont even know in asia idk what its called but its like that. I do think it can be translated better but yeah.
It’s both culture and translation.
Most of Asia refers to others in a similar way. It could come off as more casual + shows closeness between people. While real siblings also use the same terms, you don’t actually need to be related or anything to use it… it’s based off gender and age.
Ex: A girl that’s older than you (not by much)
Koreans use noona and unnie. Viet people use chi. Chinese can use jiejie.
This all translates to “elder sister,” but again, you don’t need to be related to use it. That’s just the direct translation in English. You could translate it to “Ms. / Miss,” except, that seems more formal and distant. (it would also be somewhat incorrect)
A lot of English-only speakers will not understand and label it as pseudo-incest, while instead, it’s just a big culture difference. It’s weird to just say “sister/brother” in English, but it’s so normal in majority of other languages.
i agree with this, you explained it well. there's really not a direct translation on how asian countries use "sister/brother" to call someone who's older than them but still wants to express closeness/clingyness. i think it's because most asian countries value seniority or they try to give respect to someone older than them (especially elderly people).
I guess to contextualize this, your sibling's friends are also really close to you. Since they are older and are basically strangers, if not for the fact that they're a known friend, you might want to address them as Mr./Ms. or Sir/Ma'am (Again, not a direct translation to how we use it). But since they are a LOT closer to you even though they're older and not blood related, you refer to them as older sister/brother. Although there's a nuance to how you address your sibling compared to your sibling's friend.
I hope i added something to this
The last chapter where they show him laying on her thighs, isn’t that the scene where he dies every time he looks at his future? Is it just me? This is chapter 75 btw
honestly i don’t think so! because the future was seen while she was human, and assuming it isn’t that precise due to the first one changing, atleast imo it probably changed again to not dying(?) due to her becoming a demon as well(?) maybe! idk
But that is so funny “im the ultimate shut-in” id be like what? if i was a character
