I know it's kinda pointless, but I gotta say it anyway ... am I the only one tired of these type of discussions that pop up EVERY SINGLE TIME when any such theme is broached? It's so utterly predictable, it never resolves anything, it'll always immediately return with the next chapters, and then inevitable with the next story that does this or that thing ...

Maybe, sometimes, just read. Also, of course, I don't need to read the comments; yaddayadda, I get it. As I said, I know it's a futile to be vaguely annoyed by, but still. Had to be said, I guess. ^^

... wat, that's it? I'm fine with keeping it lighthearted, but that was a waste of time.

Me: "Isn't about time I draw a new character?"
The Universe: "Sure. Here, have a sniper."
Me: "Oh, nice."
The Universe: "And another one."
Me: "Uh ..."
The Universe: "And another one!"
Me: "Wait a minute!"

So over the last week I got Provence, Firewatch and Platinum. Because that's how luck works. ^^

... what, only 50%? Ridiculous. If it's a real fashion trend, it should be at least 85%.

Hope this is not some scheme of the mom trying to hook her up with some guy ...

Uhoh. Wanko is going to get jealous.

Dogs just don't like cats.

Artists level up.

I dont really agree that makes any difference

... I actually agree with you on that it doesn't make any difference, but I didn't want to get sidetrack but that debate as it's not applicable here anyway ;)

Anyway, I disagree with everything else. Nobody owns an artist. It's your right to disagree with them. It's your right to stop reading them. It's your right to never read anything by them again.

But you don't have any right to them finishing their work in the way you want them to. That's their decision and theirs alone.

It's really a slap in the face to the readers who have stuck by for so long to not get a conclusion to the story.

That argument had slightly more merit if 99% of her readers on her just read the entire thing for free. She's got no obligation to anyone here whatsoever.

I feel worries are justified but ultimately we don't know what's going on. It might be that she just got completely stuck on the 2nd half because she's not set up things the way she wanted to, and that the only way out of that blockade to her right now is fixing this issue. It happens. This wasn't done with some professional editing support (and even with it how many writers get perpetually stuck?), and sometimes you just need a new iteration to go forward.

So, yeah, I do think it's fair to worry from a reader's perspective and obviously nobody ever wants to wait for New Stuff(tm) but when it turns into some weird sense of entitlement that's going too far.

I'm sorry to say but this relationship has no future. Mom-san clearly isn't into ABDL.

There's something that's kinda bugged (ha ...) me for a while now ...
Basically recently I went on a hiking vacation, and the app didn't work on my phone anymore for reasons beyond my understanding. Maybe it thought there was something fraudulent going on because I kept crossing country borders or whatever.
Anyway. As mentioned before I'm not too attached to the game, so I just left it alone for a solid week.

Obviously my expectation was that if I came back everyone at the base would be 100% exhausted and all Production stopped. But ... that wasn't the case. I had - I think - 6 exhausted characters and that was it. And I can't quite wrap my head around that since even if I just play normally and don't switch around my characters before it happens I easily get more exhausted characters within a day.

Do exhausted characters recover after some time? Or is there some sort "if you stay logged out for a while nothing happens" mechanism? Or what's going on there? It just felt really weird ^^;

Such a deep and nuanced relationship ...

That interest in making sexual stimulants ... sounds like a future chapter where A fends of B because they don't want to take advantage of them ^^;

They should try this sex thing. I hear it's quite calming ... afterwards.

It's not like marriage magically makes you immune to everyone else around you. The numbers for cheating and divorces would look quite different if that were the case ^^;

A plot development absolutely nobody could have seen coming.

^so true. And mildly annoying. I'm not into too into circumstances that are that forced.

And also, not to be too complainy, but I'd kinda would have liked a "mechanic" for the gender switching that's a bit wackier than "it's this area here". Something that'd promise some future back-and-forth switching. But I guess that's beyond the scope of the manga.

Didn't read this ongoing, just (more or less) in one go now. Not a fan. Manga-about-mangaka-plot #6704. From the first time those editors appear you can accurately predict exactly their role in the plot. The dad subplot was as cliche as these plots go; especially with the whole letting-go-oh-secretly-running-back-showing-the-manga-shows-up-at-the-signing thing ... add a bit of relationship misunderstanding and so on ... all pretty bleh.

Romance was pretty okay though. I'd rate this two potatoes and half a persimmon.

Well, it was okay. Nothing that'll stick though I feel. It gave up on the entire stalker-pet-unhealthy-relationship aspect way too quickly; instead went for stupid childhood-friend-amnesia and then wrapped everything up in the same way any generic romance does. So, yeah. Whatever.

There's something about this modern type of edgyness that just makes me roll my eyes and mutter "get on with it already". Sigh. Oh well. Let's see whether there's some actual plot at some point.

Oh boy, are we playing by Ranma ½ rules?

My thoughts exactly.

It portrays it a bit more like an escort service than your classic dinky brothel or street prostitution experience maybe.

It's tough to pick between a Seaweed Encyclopedia and a Poisonous Plant Encyclopedia.

I like that she's not completely innocent and passive about everything.

... ah, the classic I-thought-you-are-trying-to-commit-suicide-so-I'm-causing-an-accident trope. Still hate it. ^^
