Completed Comedy Drama Romance School Life Shoujo Slice of Life

I adore this slice of life school days romance of a girl who transmigrated from an ancient past to the modern age. The main couple are both plays on typical archetypes: the quiet brainy beauty and her freakishly talented bad boy counterpart. But the way their pasts influence their current lives is really interesting and dramatic without being melodramatic ... more>>

This story has a few really strong secondary characters and brings them into the story without forcing the interaction. The world building was okay if not extensive. But it's our two leads that pull most of the focus. Their various interactions are hilarious, sweet, innocent, embarrassing, and supportive. Exactly perfect for a school age romance.

Spoilers To Follow.

Read The Book.

Its Better.

Our Lead Characters:

Our ML has a traumatic past of losing his mother at a young age and the adults in his life were so busy trying to justify her death they forgot to just be there for him to grieve. His father in a desperate attempt to somehow make his wife's death meaningful compounds the problem by bringing home someone that raises the stress in this family (through no active fault of her own or anyone else) to the critical boiling point that separates the ML from his family. It was a ridiculously dramatic series of events. Yet instead of leaning into that drama the author revealed his family troubles to be a very organic evolution of conflicting responses to trauma. The author even avoided the trap of perfect reconciliation. For once the adult had to recognize their own culpability in the broken relationship and the child grew well without reforming that connection. They did reach a kind of peace in the end. It was anti climatic but also perfect to the tone of semi-realism and sweetness that permeates this story.

I was hoping the entire story that the explanation behind the FL's transmigration would be what I wanted. And it was! That never happens. My only complaint was that her realization that committing su*cide in both lives was a problem was only explored over a third of a chapter. Her deep seated pain was a much hinted at and built up topic. I really expected more time spent with her two selves and realizing the mistakes she made in both lives. That being said, the author's choice was very in keeping with the pacing of the rest of the story. It wasn't my preference. It was still good.

In Fact:

That tonal choice is my biggest criticism. The way the author left many many threads of story dangling or rushed was frustrating but thats life. Not every relationship or problem was going to be resolved perfectly if it was to be true true to life-for a fantasy. That anticlimactic tone was carried so consistently through the story it really seems more like an intentional choice than the author being lazy. Gotta respect that.

I very much recommend this story if you are in the mood for a non dramatic adorable romance with a silly heart felt vibe. <<less

48 Chapters Every 126.3 Day(s) 7159 Readers 128 Reviews 04-30-2020

Completed Comedy Horror Romance Shounen Ai Slice of Life Supernatural

This is at least two books in one. They are both good-just not as fleshed out as I would like them to be. The author does walk the line of what our MC knows is happening and whats actually reality in an entertaining and consistent way.... more>>

The first book and main story is about MC who is a dedicated first time teacher firm in his beliefs and pragmatic about needing to work hard to live. Thus he takes the only job he can find: working for a strange fly by night school with the strangest bunch of students a teacher could ever encounter. He’s dedicated to helping them discover their ethical principles while helping them down the path to recovering from the various “mental traumas” that have made this school their only option.

The second book is about a young exorcist traveling outside of his sect for the first time and encountering a very different world, materially and spiritually, than he had been brought up to expect. He’s arrogant in his knowledge and routinely flabbergasted by our MC’s ability to survive in the second book while still following the plot of the first book.

Their friendship and eventual romance is sweet. The way they open each other’s eyes to possibilities outside the boundaries of their own experience is great.

I do wish the world building, secondary characters, and the arcs dedicated to each student had been more developed. I really wanted a story for all 26 students. Not just a primary six or seven. They are more developed than a lot of other novels I’ve found on this site. But they are also more compelling so I wanted to spend more time enjoying them.

Spoilers Ahead:

I do see alot of people who are irritated with how long our main character takes to figure things out. Part of that I think comes from how soon the author invites us into seeing both books vs if they’d let us live in book one with the MC for a while. Admittedly, his responses to the students are not what you’d expect. But that is consistent with the character. He does not do the expected. His outlook on life gives him the ability to believe with hard work the people he wants to help (like his students) can have a better life. That belief does not change. Not even when his understanding of the spiritual world does eventually expand. And thats why he can do what he does for his students and friends.

I do feel a little weird that in hindsight most of what he was doing was unintentionally terrorizing all of the students. At least most of the guys. The girls stories showed they improved because someone they didn't think could be sincere was sincere to them. Says weird things about gender dynamics and the way violence against woman and men are perceived.

I do recommend this if you don't need a character who rationalizes in a way you approve to enjoy a fun, quirky horror comedy romance. <<less

A co-workers to food moocher/feeder to friends to lovers tale. It alternates chapters between leads to good effect. Our MC is reeling from a major betrayal in her relationship and the fear of aging alone. Her chapters have a sad and sweet vibe. Our younger ML is a bit of a spoiled and quirky guy. His chapters are much more upbeat in tone; although, there is an edge of confusion as he falls for this woman who isn't really like anyone he’s ever been close to. ... more>>
