Doku wo Kurawaba Sara Made - By Tobari Sawa (8/10)
Tumblr media
Our protagonist is a father who will do whatever it takes to save his daughter, and himself, from complete ruin. He's trapped inside an Otome Game, so fate will never favor him. As the father of the Villainess he has nothing, so he throws away his pride and he uses seduction. It works too well.
The Kingdom of Parsemis is magically blessed. There is a barbaric tradition.
A holy maiden MUST be sacrificed to the nations patron Dragon every ten years.
It's a political thing.
Tumblr media
Andrim realizes he is s fool when he watches his only daughter lose. He treated her like a pawn. A convenient daughter from a dead woman.
He realizes she never had a chance.
He never had a chance.
He's not even the main villain.
He, and his daughter, are both prolouge villains.
The ultimate insult.
Tumblr media
The Villainess will be executed!!! Is such a trite ending. Here it's more horrible.
In this scenario Natasha, the protagonist, was destined to be eaten by the dragon.
Julietta, the Villainess, was supposed to wed the prince.
The Prince uses his authority to remove Julietta from power and get rid of her in one fell swoop.
Why is this possible?
Natasha is the destined holy maiden, but Julietta is from a special sage bloodline...so conveniently she can be sacrificed as well.
A loving father would have kept Julietta far away from the Prince.
Natasha, of course, realized she could seduce the Prince and save herself.
Andrim was a total fool.
If he had just protected his daughter a little bit both of them would have survived.
Tumblr media
Andrim remains calm. He thinks about what he can do. His daughter is doomed and the Prince clearly wants him gone too.
He tries to use his memories of the game to escape his fate, with his daughter.
Tumblr media
He accepts the new engagement, and his daughters new position as sacrifice....gladly.
Yes, he is a dutiful Prime Minister.
He understands that a special girl must be sacrificed for prosperity. He carries her away and he says he will prepare her for that fateful day.
In the original plot he raved like a madman and demanded Natasha's death instead. Even though the Prince had declared otherwise.
He backs away, because he cannot win without power.
Tumblr media
He joins hands with a corrupt priest and the ACTUAL DRAGON!
He promises to entertain Karis, the Dragon, because only he knows the special lore.
The Dragon is bored.
Andrim is able to tempt the Dragon with a new kind of entertainment. It's bored of eating women.
Andrim must commit evil to live.
He goes waaaayyyy too far.
Tumblr media
The Dragon is not the love interest.
It's Jorga the Commander. The adult figure supporting the youthful otome group.
Andrim uses him completely. Not sure how yet but Jorga commits absolute atrocities for Andrim. He betrays the royal family for Andrim, and the palace is filled with torture.
Jorga is the most useful card on the field, and Andrim uses his beauty to "get" him.
Is it genuine love? No, but Jorga is all about loving acts of service.
Tumblr media
The plan rolls into an avalanche slowly.
Andrim gives up his position as Prime Minister. This earns him plenty of sympathy points. He also appoints a young genius on purpose. The boy is not fit to run the government. He uses politics to force the boy into a position he can't handle.
This makes him even more pitiful.
The capable Prime Minister had to abdicate for his daughter, and his replacement is trash...
How awful...
His poor daughter. In the end its not her fault that the Prince's eyes wandered...
Tumblr media
Natasha is a cruel moron and that helps. Her otome team constantly has to cover her ass.
She's going to be a terrible Queen.
Julietta would have been perfect.
Andrim plans to take advantage of that.
Tumblr media
Julietta is sweet but empty.
Andrim vows to make her happier.....after his dirty deeds bear fruit.
Julietta stays in the palace...with Andrim. He uses an old tradition to stay, where he can garner the most sympathy.
Apparently, the story turns into extremely sadistic revenge porn. If you like obsessive dogs with no morals this is your lucky day!
Andrim is not a merciful man. Even with his Japanese memories his ruthless side always prevails.

the reason isekai is so popular is because life is so complicated and people are failing at that life. instead here's a simpler life, don't worry about something complicated like whether or not youre a good person or how youre going to make rent or whether your job is worth your mental health. worry about conquering the dungeon! worry about how you'll use your cool new sword!
and i think this is particularly easy to see in rofans and other transmigration isekai--so many people worry about not knowing what to say, not understanding the world around them. don't worry about something like that! you've practically memorized your favorite book, right? what if you could live in that book? you know the story! you can have your own happy ending! isn't this easier? and you might think you're ugly--but don't worry! you can magically become beautiful! lose weight by breathing! invent make-up! look, now a wealthy, handsome man wants to marry you! isn't it easier to live in fiction?
it's just kind of depressing that instead of the world getting better, we just create more fictions to live in instead.

Isekai is hilarious to me. For men we have becoming a god, owning women as slaves, and every attractive woman in a 50 mile radius chomping at the bit to get down sexual style in your bedroom
and then for women we鈥檝e got the fantasy of divorcing your shitty ass prophetically infidelious husband
I for one adore the latter

Love Stories vs. the Romance Genre in America and Asia
Tumblr media
I was brought up by women who went through romance novels like candy, and I read several people's share of them growing up. I love a good love story, but I find most romance stories not merely bad but downright disturbing. Let me explain by telling you my favorite love story:
"Once upon a time there was a very smart young man with good prospects. Everywhere he went, people said, "That is a young man with a future!" There were many neat, graceful, lovely girls at his college who wanted to be part of that future. They would come up to him and promise to be his ideal helpmate, allowing him to make all the decisions in their lives and do whatever he wanted without ever thinking about talking back to him.
"He couldn't run away fast enough. The idea of spending his entire life with someone who would never talk back to him was terrifying!
"On the edge of the campus social set was a smart, messy, cranky girl. She didn't always talk, but when she did she would either toss off something disturbingly insightful about the most uncomfortable subjects, or on rare occasions talk for hours on end about some obscure and not widely accepted topic. She was frank about her personal problems in the hope that this would drive people away, for she was deeply troubled by things that she did not know how to speak of and the culture she was a part of did not want to hear about.
"He found her fascinating.
"She was very resistant to the idea of being courted and put up all kinds of barriers, but he was patient. She had every reason to fear people, especially men; but she was also desperately lonely, especially for someone who could hold up their end of a conversation.
"They would talk all night.
"People became alarmed when they realized the pair were getting serious. Such a damaged young woman was the worst possible choice for such a promising young man! All sorts of people put up all sorts of arguments to dissuade him, to no avail. Finally they threw their hands up in the air, convinced the marriage wouldn't last six months.
"That young man and young woman were my husband and I, and we have been married for 35 years."
Now I'm prejudiced, but that's still a pretty good love story. But it would never fly in the romance genre. Far too many of those stories are written for, and ostensibly about, the neat, graceful young ladies in the first paragraph. They sincerely believed they could get through a marriage by not thinking and by being like their favorite stereotypical romance heroines, passive and conventional.
But real life isn't like a romance novel. It doesn't stop throwing problems at you once the wedding bells ring. I saw every one of those girls marry out of college, and every one of them divorced within five years. Once they hit the first problem that couldn't be solved by being passive, unthinking, and conventional, that was it.
A sobering number of them went through three or four marriages without questioning their basic life choices.
Consequently I find stereotypical genre romances alarming on many levels. They're not just boring. They encourage impressionable young people to BE boring, to hide all their interesting quirks, under the impression that being boring will get them married. Even worse, given the associations I've seen, I can't help but wonder if they promote an unrealistic view of married life that contributes to divorce.
So while I love in good love story, I want it to be about non-stereotypical people actively figuring out how to deal with the problems they've been handed together instead of trying to stuff themselves and their problems into some conventional formula. This combination isn't always easy to find in American fiction, especially in romance stories. But one unexpected place turned out to be a treasure trove of such stories, and that was gay romance, especially slash fiction. Not all, but the very best of those stories ask, "Since we're not heteronormal, why should our romance be heteronormative?"
(Also being full of amorous hot guys is a bonus.)
Then I got into Japanese pop fiction. While they can tell many wonderful stories, unfortunately unconventional love stories isn't something they're good at. All too often at the end of the day every effort is made to force the relationship into a conventional path. That's a turn off.
But if I was turned off by what I found in Japanese straight romance stories, I was repulsed by what I found in Japanese gay romance stories. When I first encountered those stories in the late 90s and early 00s, they seemed to exert an enormous amount of pressure to violently force the characters into a grotesque parody of heterosexual relationships. Why does everyone have to be "seme" or "uke"? Why can't they just be people?
Cut to the present day. I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss showed that there have been small but significant changes in the Japanese pop culture romance area. These changes are coming out of the web novel/light novel corner, where more women writers work under less supervision than previously. This less restrictive medium has also had an effect stories from other Asian cultures, and on gay romance stories.
I took a dive into romantic web/light novels recently, and I'll be posting about some especially interesting ones shortly.

Can we talk about the newest contender for new worst isekai subgenre? At least to me it is.
The "I was transported to a BL novel but one of the male leads is in love with me!?!?!" It feels really icky and homophobic considering most of the time the male love interest in the story is told or explained to be gay because he was "mentally unwell" because of "childhood trauma" and the reason he falls for the main girl is also pretty fucked because its mostly because she bullshits her way into his trauma to stop it somehow making him straight and in love with her. First off no that's not how either of those things work mentally unwell/abusive people are usually indiscriminate with the sex of the abused party and secondly you can't make a gay straight by being around them and essentially being their trauma dumping ground you can't "fix" him by making him straight.
I thought at first this was a nifty concept watching a girl fangirl over her favorite pairing while in the story or it'd be like one of my favorite queer manga shout out to "I want to be the wall" where its not an isekai but the girl is an aroace BL fan who marries a gay guy with an unrequited (possibly requited) who get married because of familial, societal and social pestering but they both want to be close to one another like family and be each other's support whenever they need it but nope in BL isekai we get "OH NO HE'S IN LOVE WITH ME BUT I'M KINDA INTO HIM EVEN THOUGH HE'S GAY UWU"

What's that kdrama where the female lead is a therapist or psychiatrist, the male lead is a sort of godly prince thing and he gets reverse isekai'd into the modern world where the female lead finds him, there's something about a Frisbee, and at one point the male lead is naked

Single Not Ready to Mingle - By Chadol (6/10)
Tumblr media
Erotic comedy is one of the most annoying types of comedy in the world. It is almost never funny, and it is almost always offensive. This is not some kind of well written, award winning exception. The art is good. The funny yandere(?) demon king does a massacre a couple times. Dildos.
Mr. Bu is a 35 year old turbo virgin who is absolutely desperate to confess. He's got one female friend, and of course he's madly in love with her. He's shy though. He was planning on confessing this weekend but...
Tumblr media
He's a teacher. He confiscates a book from a student. It's a yaoi novel. Not just any novel. A balls to the walls insane yaoi novel rife with perversion and no genuine love. Just constant lust.
Tumblr media
The protagonist was supposed to be a super feminine guy, but Mr. Bu wakes up in the novel! He expects hell. He thinks he's going to die or worse.
Tumblr media
Demon Lord Argio isn't into slim pretty boys. He thinks Mr. Bu is hot as hell, and he immediately tries to get some. Misunderstanding. It looks like Mr. Bu is the hero! The hero who has snuck in to kill him! But Argio doesn't mind. He'll take a steamy night and he'll let Mr. Bu live in exchange. Mr. Bu loses it in a rage. He punches the demon, but that just turns him on. Yes. Only the Hero is strong enough to fight against him, and he's really into it. In the original story the skinny hero was kind of a disappointment, because he was weak willed and stuff. Mr. Bu is his ideal man.
He immediately falls in love, and there's a really sudden dark turn later.
Tumblr media
Things almost happen, but then they hear a noise.
Tumblr media
Priest guy to the rescue. A cute guy covered in gore carries Mr. Bu away. He explains the plot. The plot is very dumb. Mr. Bu has to collect some legendary...sacred shafts...if he wants to go home and kiss his new gf.
Tumblr media
Magic guy is just an annoying pervert. He joins the crew, but he's only here because this is an Erotic Comedy. Feel free to ignore him and/or skip his scenes.
Tumblr media
Priest guy gets really angry when Magic Guy does perverted things to the Hero.
It's a little boring.
Tumblr media
Priest guy is very devoted to the Hero, and he's willing to break every rule to get a chance....he's not going to do anything. Mr. Bu keeps having thoughts about Argio. He's attracted to Argio. The other two are just annoying kids to him.
Tumblr media
There is a VERY SUDDEN SHIFT IN TONE.
Mr. Bu is supposed to steal the Shafts from the other demon guys...but Argio is busy killing the other demon guys behind the scenes. Presumably because he wants the Hero to pay attention to him.
That's fun.

so i've been readin a lot of webtoons recently, and i gotta say that i'm hooked on a lot of them. a lot of them involve romances, which i don't hate. however, i kinda wish that there were some romances where it was inherently queer or where the characters are queer in some way. ik theres the market with BL and GL and they're separate categories, but my god. i just wish that there were at least some gay shit in the background for the "mainstream" stuff. it doesnt even have to be the main characters being queer. i'd just like to see some characters being casually bisexual or gay or smth. or maybe a plot where it seems like it's heterosexual but it subverts expectations and it's gay. maybe im just not lookin hard enough lol
