ALisAnimeLover's manga / #fairytale(4)

Currently done with: snow white, peter pan, little merman Currently reading: beauty and the beast Omg The little merman was faithful to the original except for the sorcerer trying to seduce the Prince and Poseidon being a mom. 5/10 Beauty and the Beast is... AMAZING. Bell was curious... not in the same way Belle was, but sexually Snow white didn't follow the original as much as the others (regent rather than witch, herbalist was an extra just to save snow white). It's twice as long as normal and feels too lengthy/overstretched. 2/10 Peter pan x Hook. Now that's a good ship. Pretty much a sequel of the original story, haha. It's a nice "coming-of-age" story :) I feel bad for Darling who invited Hook over though, he was forgotten. 6/10

Ch1-4 is the title story "Whoa, I'm naked! Ah, but I'm wearing underwear!" Lmao. Also, I can't help but read the title as Teacup Boy Toy. Help Although the story seems a little absurd (no, not just a little... Also, unintentional pun lol), it's just a classic fairytale-style of story which has its own charm. Though the bad thing about the story is that it's too short to develop the characters and the non-existent romance - it's even worse than some Disney fairytales. ... Which leads to the second lead syndrome being too strong let's be honest, the ML didn't actually do anything except express interest in the MC because he's tiny and ~out of this world~. He wasn't shown to have interest in the MC as a person, unlike the second ML who's shown to care for the MC (though it could be as a genuine friend/brotherly figure, not much romantically). I would really love to see more stories of this type. And hopefully a longer one or a better-paced one. Ch5-8 is different story. This time about a pretty guy who got confessed to by another guy. To make the confessor stop from harassing him with daily confessions, they strike a deal to have a date once and if he's still not interested, the confessor will stop. Sadly, this story lacks the magic of the first story. Not to mention that the plot is very very very overused, and the story doesn't offer more than the trope. Ch9 is a one-shot about a longtime couple who got into domestic troubles due to the seme's increasing sloppiness. Ironically the best-paced story out of the three. While cliche like the 2nd story, its charm is that it's a perfect story for a one-shot. The character of the characters (erm, what is English), their relationship concerns, the resolution to their problem are all well established.

Somehow it feels like there's something missing that I can't put my hands on
