This development was not well-received by many readers. In fact it's been called one of the worst endings ever.

That's a fucking understatement cause good god how did they get there?!

I think it's safe to say that Shiho has some severe control issues...

This chapter is pretty darn good...also Merina is really damn hateable, I'm impressed.

The face on page 2...my god that's not well drawn...

...huh. I just noticed that on page 7, Senpai has a kid like bag...then looking at the later pages in the past, she has the same bag. Either A: It's just to let the reader know "Yes these are the same person" or B: Things are gonna get more complicated.

Welp. This series died as it lived: Good ideas, poor execution, and a tone that wasn't stable. Also man I...I honestly forget what the point of Subaru was beyond another character added to the mix.

I...I dunno with this manga any more. Somehow this is the 14th chapter and it feels like nothing has happened.

Tbh, I was kinda expecting the senpais to die, and Noel did appear in a couple of chapters before so not surprised about that one...that last page though, didn't see that one coming.

Also they go a lot more into Rei later and basically the entire series is intended to be a lot more metaphorical for coming out in Japan and the absolutely shit gay people get treated like in Japan

That would be great...if it wasn't for Shador posting that major spoiler twist that somehow makes this a entire sci-fi story with gods, clones, and timeloops kinda making the message pretty damn pointless cause they retroactively changed that...and I don't believe that was the intention of the writer considering that spoiler was written years later afterwards. In the context of the story anyway. Obviously in real life yeah Japan has major freaking issues.

Warning! Serious spoilers here!
The MC is not actually Oohashi Rei, she only thinks she is. The original Rei is basically a god that administers humanity, but she is going to try and kill everyone very soon, because her love for Claire is wearing off. Because of that, an AI that Claire created in the first Timeloop made a bunch of copies of Rei in an attempt to ceate a replacement administrator. The MC is the best of this copies and as such was put in this place at the star of the timeloop. This is also why some Rei look-a-likes will appear in the future. They are failed copies of the OG Rei that were given a place in the world.

Ok uh...all I can start off is: What kind of bullshit fanfic bad writing is that?! Doesn't that ruin the ENTIRE point of this series in that it's a Isekai based on a (Fictional for us) game where the main character wants to romance the Villainess character instead of any of the boys? EDIT: Annnnd I just noticed you mentioned "copies", "Claire making AI", and "timeloops"...when did this turn into a Sci-fi story? On another note

Oh yes, it's still a central theme. It's just that the main pairing narrative arc is more or less finished, so the romantic elements take a backseat in plot-heavy chapters.

Doesn't that mean the entire point of this series is pretty much secondary to the world instead? What's the point of the main viewpoint (Main character isekai'd to romance Villainess) if they are just in the end gonna focus more on the world and leave the main characters's relationship to be sidelined?

Insta-Drama! Just open the cork and watch the drama unfold! (I still love reading Neji's manga though)

I'm mixed on this right now...also: Holy crap the necks. One of the color pages at the end of chapter 1 is a perfect example.

Yeah this manga went from cozy love to over the top scenes to just...ugh. Also it might be me or is the art really bad in this chapter?

oh for the love of- feeling bad about the bad thing doesn't mean you can just do it again.

Speaking of that DMC reference: She even gets impaled on her own weapon just like Dante in almost every game! It must be a DMC reference.

Something I kinda realized: Yuki was the butt of so many jokes thoughtout the entire manga that her Drama Mom appearing feels kinda...a little too late?

Just realized if you go back to Chapter and look at those bonus pages well...now I notice that they are at least after Chapter 3

Even for just a hentai manga, the plot hurts it so bad...

Looking at the chapter, the only thing I can say is: Man everyone's arms kinda change length from panel to panel.

Having looked up the most recent chapter raw: Apparently this series is gonna be weekly now? Since that seems to be when the next raw will be released.

So, there is a lot I can say about this manga: Too many side characters, generally poor pacing, stupid main characters, rather bad art...but I think adamatari says it best:

This is like the love drama equivalent of a horror manga. The monster is emotional neglect and all the characters are doing the wrong things trying to fight it.

That was uh...NOT the ending I was expecting.

Honestly reading these in order (since I just noticed them), you can notice ALL the red flags with the mother. From her reaction in the park, to Kaede's face in Ch10 page 2, to even the drawing of the 3 in the bottom left of that page.

Rereading this, in Chapter 3 it's kinda obvious she knows considering the dialogue with Yukiko is none too subtle.
