Formerly @Elevator7009@kbin.run, kbin.run died, moved here.
Another series to toss on my to-read list. This would normally be a “click and read immediately!” but I find myself with more things that must be done in real life nowadays :(
I ought to mention I’m pretty lucky that one of the active !manga@ani.social posters, aka OP, shares my tastes in manga :P Thanks again!
Well, that was touching.
I wonder what the Ditto’s motive was. Just to cheer up a sad person? To find a trainer to befriend?
Also, I’d recommend crossposting to !pokemon@lemm.ee
I wonder how or if she’s going to get Jelly’s memories back.
I keep forgetting I seem to be in the minority by refusing to touch c/All, thanks for letting me to know that the “daily” strategy captures what is probably the majority who will use c/All.
I do the same thing about referencing my communities, !otomegames@ani.social and !bunnies@lemmy.world with a link relevant, but thanks for the tip.
daily
I am kind of surprised. Communities with daily posts tend to be overwhelming if I have some communities posting a few times a week, so I’ve personally been sticking to a few times a week for posting. Good to know that some people actually want daily and that maybe that would be an actual growth strategy, instead of something that would make people feel spammed and thus something to purposely avoid doing. Genuinely, thanks for the advice. I’m just me and sometimes I guess incorrectly at how other people would feel.
(For something big like Gaming or Books or Anime I know to expect a few posts per day, just by sheer amount of people participating, but for NicheTitle I’d expect a few per week.)
Same. It is a thing because people read it. I do not think I have a quality filter, but I do have a finely-honed “will I enjoy it?” filter. And a lot of isekai passes it, so I read. Wonder how much of the backlash to it is
also, !otomeisekai@lemmy.world exists and is very dead. I tried to reactivate it for a bit when my kbin.run account still worked, before the server went down. I’d be happy to try again if you want to too—even if it is just you and me yelling at each other.
To each their own. I feel as long as I personally recognize something is immoral in real life, I don’t need a story to explicitly condemn it. I don’t think I’ll internalize a nonnegative—or even positive—portrayal of a bad act in a story as okay to do in real life.
I do recognize stories change minds, that little me read a fanfic with two men in a romantic situation, and it helped me internalize gay relationships as just normal relationships like any other instead of some weird thing you have to do in the privacy of your home while straight couples could hold hands outside judgment-free. That to people who think gay people are inherently sinners (or not sinners, but become sinners if they act on their feelings instead of repressing them and trying to be single forever/pretending to be straight) this would be “a nonnegative—or even positive—portrayal of a bad act in a story” teaching me that act is okay in real life. Stories can move the needle on what you believe is moral and immoral, yes.
But I’m also an adult with an idea of what is moral and what is not, and I think I’d be harder to win over on things like murder or revenge that I already have strong beliefs about. I can entertain ideas in fiction and enjoy a story without actually taking on the beliefs it seems to hold, or that the protagonist seems to hold (sometimes those things are different! Lolita has the narrator defend his pedophilia, but the story and author want you to think the narrator is disgusting—it is supposed to be an anti-pedophilia story).
I’ve found a lot of people who believe that anything that’s less squeaky-clean than a Sunday school lesson will inevitably do harm and needs to be banned for everyone, not just their own personal consumption, so sorry if I’m coming off defensive. It’s perfectly fine to decide this is not for you because you prefer stories with more upright protagonists, a clearer moral, etc. and because you think you might be easily influenced into taking on some bad traits. It is just that I have often seen that attitude pair with “everyone will be easily influenced into immorality by this, so it needs to go”—but I know it won’t always.
For what it is worth, I am able to flip off the morality switch in my head and enjoy this revenge manga without feeling the slightest discomfort, while also being adamantly anti-revenge in real life. That was my position before this story and remains so afterwards.
Delighted to find another chapter to this, thanks.
Sorely tempted to do what’s probably breaking the rules and reply to some comments here with whether their predictions/wishes are true, since I stuck the web novel this was based off of through an online translator and know how it turns out, but I’m not going to do that. Writing this paragraph about that desire helps me not do it.
The fact I am sticking around for manga updates even though I know what happens anyways probably shows that this story is something that people enjoy :)
I read this as pure entertainment, not a story trying to teach a moral and tell you the protagonist’s actions are morally okay. Not every story has to have good triumph over evil, or have a good lesson embedded in it. Also, I don’t think the story intends you to believe that Remilia is a morally good person at all.
Oh boy. I can see why Bakarina is a breath of fresh air to people now. In that one, the game’s original sweet main character isn’t replaced by a nasty reincarnator thinking the world belongs to her, she is still a genuine nice girl. Thanks for introducing yet another entertaining manga to me
Enjoyable read, thank you!
I wonder when that plot thread about someone not liking the food truck being a thing will show up. Or if I’m just misremembering, or misinterpreted something.
Now I’m curious where the story was headed in the second season that turned you off, but that would be spoilers…
He kind of reminds me of a fortune cookie in shape. Fun read, thanks for posting!
Oh! How did you like that? It’s on my to-read list.
Thanks for posting, fun read

Huh? I wasn’t expecting romance at all and your reply seems to suggest you think I expected it. What about the title implies romance? I definitely expected a gyaru, but no romance. A workplace comedy of working in an academic lab in life sciences sounds interesting, though I don’t have a background in it.
Hm. The title of this grabbed me, the actual manga didn’t. I wonder if I would find it more compelling in later chapters?
I used to read a wider spread of genres, but I definitely seem to have consolidated towards shoujosei, and as far as I have noticed you are the only one posting that here. I’m a lot more of a “broad tastes” person outside of anime and manga.
