I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #time travel(5)

Feng Meng is transmuted back in time into the body of An He, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Xi Lie. The title is meaningless, however, as all the real power is held by the indomitable regent, Rong Tian, who notices the sudden change in An He. A story about imperial court intrigue within a country on the verge of war with many neighbours, and what Feng Meng must do to survive. Since it hasn't been updated in years, I assume it will never be finished.

An absolutely stunning story about a trigger-loaded subject, father x son incest. It's handled with such originality and sensitivity, though, against a context of time travel, loneliness and alienation, that ... how does Ike Reibun transform something so icky into something so heartwarming and healing? By crafting a wonderful supernatural mystery like this. Stick around for the happy ending. This one's worth reading again and again. One of my favourites.

Weird story about a man who wants to take revenge on someone who jilted him by getting married to somebody else, but dies first, after getting smucked by a car, coming back as a spook in order to change history ... or is it, destiny?

A lab tech robot from the future is booted into ancient China where he tries to take samples from the white snake demon.

A short story about time travel used to avert a tragedy. Nowhere close to the quality of Ike Reibun's Not Equal, but not an awful story either. The lack of conflict and stock supernatural plot structure takes away from the romance, and got in the way at times.
