Not my favorite start but it eventually became a good read but alas... it cut off when it was getting so much better. Ended just smack in the peak of things. No resolution like Netflix cancelling season 1 on a cliff hanger. :(
Hi! Welcome. Never mind this below hahaha just for me to keep track of my stuff
= MY TAG LIST FOR READ MANGA= DRAMA : > Simple - no depth/little plot, no lasting tension > Light - easily solved, may have tense moments but not too griping, light hearted, can have serious themes but it's just on the surface level > Medium - more drama but not dark, has some tense moments that hit, hit the feels, has some serious themes that are focused on but not necessarily the main theme > Heavy - dark, intense, can be mentally draining, one two punching
> Feel Good
ROMANCE : > Fluffy - just wholesome, all positive feel left and right > Sub-love - out of nowhere love, it's there but not really shown much in scenes, or if ever it's not really romantic > Slow burn - very slow to fruit, a lot of little bits before the main entree > Serious - has some real/mature/drama type of love, similar feel to slow burn but has more love felt > Romantic - similar to fluffy but is more love love than just positive feeling, showy mature love > Erotic - focuses on smut, hot, sex, you feel things > RNR - romance genre but the romance part isn't really giving
> Vanilla - always with consent, all clear > Minty - may have some iffy cliche scenes like forced kisses but not necessarily as intense like rape > Depraved - has some questionable moral scenes like rape or some mental terror
> Switch couple - FL/Uke has more "power" or upper hand, ML/Seme is the "softboi". Doesn't necessarily mean in terms of status but dynamics > Traditional couple - ML/Seme takes the lead more, FL/Uke is usually more submissive and not aggressive but not to the point of whiny > Power couple - Both ML/Seme and FL/Uke take the lead in the relationship. Both show equal or so aggression, submission, and influence in the relationship dynamic. Both have power and softboi tendencies > Friendship - can ship, want to ship but ship isn't sailing!! > Opposite couple - Seme-like uke/Uke-like seme - Like a mix of traditional and switch. In terms of status uke is the little league but in appearance he comes as the 'man' vice versa
> Puppy seme/Puppy ml > Cold seme- can be stoic or tsundere > Possessive lover
> Bad ending - tragic, sad note > Good ending - happy, resolved, satisfying > Rushed - cliff hang, too many open sides left, quick resolution > Open ending - ending isn't like a closer on the main target end but like just has side story vibe (ie: good is wedding and babies with all ends tied up neat, open is just resolution of conflicts and just getting together)
FOCUS : > School life - nursery to college, any "students" mc > Work life - any work related > Royalty - nobles, royals, aristocrats... > Family life- it's mostly on normal family dynamic, friends also included > Survival - usually comes from action/adventure. Gaining power/strength in order to not die or attain a goal. Staking one's life
> Villainess/Villain > Revenge > Yakuza > Demon > Magic > Normie - may have supernatural/fantasy premise but the bulk of it doesn't really rely on anything but earthliness (ig: Isekai but the rest of the story is simple romance not utilizing any form of supernatural ability)
> Strong lead - based on main focused mc/s only, may whine and sh-t occasionally but overall has a lot of resolve and grit
USUAL THEMES/GENRE : > Game-like > Martial Arts > Medical - Anything that has big focus on medicine, curing, healing > Historical > Supernatural/Fantasy - mixing coz they all be not normal life to me anyway > Isekai - any type of reincarnation, another world, transportation...etc > Shape shifter - any transformation abilities animal or demon etc, any animal characteristics whether they can turn wholly human or not (mc focus, must have more than a simple scene to cover it) > Slice of life - mundane/arbitrary events > World building - focus on bettering/improving lifestyle > Omegaverse > Multiple stories > One shot > Yaoi > Smut - any story with sex that's just not one or two scenes, and shows nakedness > Gender Bender > Uncensored > Shotacon
> Zero to hero
*ABOUT* > short summary of what I understood as the premise of the story
*ISSUE* > main conflicts in the story, other drama added worth noting, what I found 'negative' about it
