https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/exposing_the_depths_of_her_perversions#11 suggests that MC was getting aroused by the situation. Which the other girl noted and acted on, ending in "why am I smiling?"

I think the authorial intent was not "haha you just read someone getting raped" but "you read someone being forcibly awakened to their pervy sub self". Kind of like "A Face You Shouldn't Show" or Arioto, but more clumsily done, and driven by a coercive blackmail threat rather than a bribe (Arioto) or whatever was happening in the beginning of "Face" (I don't recall).

Thanks for the translation!

Further insights from the novel about Yvonne's age:

Not much, really. She's experienced the 8 AM subway rush, but high school or even middle school could have provided that, in Japan. She's never dated or been intimate with anyone before Elsa, so either she died young or had a very single life and isn't more experienced than Elsa.

The translation does say that she regained her past-life memories at 13 in this world; there was also a line suggesting that she doesn't have the earlier memories of this world, but that feels wrong and might have been an error on someone's part. But I dunno, maybe she woke up at 13 and had to fake her way via her knowledge from the game.

Contradictory lines: "she knew nothing of the fifteen years between her birth and the beginning of the main story nor did she regain her memories until late in." but "She had spent more than ten years constantly surrounded by servants,"

So it's possible she got trucked at 16-20, then added only 3 years after that in this world. Yvonne and Elsa are explicitly 16. Or almost 16.

Well I don't know why I expected Misa to ask if Io was alright instead of straight up victim blaming her for getting assaulted. What a direction this chapter went.

^^^this

Wanting your gf to call you a filthy whore is fine.

Calling your gf a filthy whore right after a rape assault, when you don't know if that's what she wants, and when she doesn't have anywhere to go because her rapist is back in her home and her own parents sold her out to the rapist... that is less fine.

How are they paying for everything? Kase lived in a dorm but both Yamada and Mikawa have apartments. Yamada has part time jobs Mikawa but is just "job hunting." But even if she did have a part time job as well is that really enough to live off of? And Kase presumably does nothing but train, and yet still has spending money for thing like convenience store runs.I would hope that Yamada isn't paying for everything while Kase just trains. Are their patents paying for stuff? Did they get loans? More than even this manga this is a topic I never see mentioned in any manga. Highschoolers just magically get apartments when they graduate and go to school without worrying about money, and maybe get a part time job if they want to. I'm curious what its like for Japanese students in real life and why it's never brought up in manga.

Not like dorms are free, or even necessarily cheaper than an apartment (or half an apartment).

How old is Yvonne?? Like mentally, all together, both lives.

I'm not sure we ever get any clue how old Yvonne was before, other than old enough to have a job.

I would think that she is at least 20?

If you just take her minimum age at isekai, say 16, and then add life in this world, that'd be 32+, or 26+ if you just count from when her memories returned. But I don't know if living childhood twice -- and having the biological brain of a child, or by now, teenager -- should be counted the same as being an adult of that timespan.

If she got isekaied at 16, then she's actually never been biologically older than she is now, she just has somewhat more overall experiences -- but likely not of sex or relationships.

Come to think of it, I think the most pointed criticism of this work might be how it treats the isekai element. Yvonne has pretty good memories of the game (though as a beta tester, never knew that much about it), but hardly ever thinks about anything else. From the novel (no big spoilers) there is a bit: she's got cooking and cleaning skills, vague mentions of jobs to buy stuff, she seems more comfortable taking care of herself than having servants, now we have this "oh no age gap". But I recall no mention of family, friends, college, living by herself, etc, nor her being introspective about having limited memories, say.

Contrast to other works:

IFTV: Rei has excellent memories of her past self, which seems to be the dominant personality after cascading at age 15 or so. She remembers the game world, but also being an overworked OL, her time in school, her friends and past relationship -- in fact this all becomes plot relevant. (Even the OL skills are mildly relevant!)

MagiRevo is at the other end: around age 6 Anis got some memories of Earth, but it feels like the memories were hazy, and that the native Anis is still the dominant personality. She doesn't think much about her past life because it's not clear she remembers all that much from her past life, other than the possibility of flying machines and home appliances.

Yvonne remembers the game well, like Rei, but not much else comes up. To be fair, she has been dual-memory in this world for 10 years, so it's possible the Earth memories have simply been pushed down and atrophied, except for the game system stuff which is unavoidably relevant to her current life.

I'm reading the novel. In 18.6 now. Yvonne asks for pumpkin soup, Elsa says she'll need to get milk.

"Did I ever tell you the recipe?"

"I-I guessed!"

...this is foreshadowing the whole time travel thing, and lil Elsa learning the recipe back then, isn't it?

(I think this is mostly cuz I dont reread the story, but Elsa getting pushy(?) felt out of nowhere to me)

Elsa was pushy from the first chapters, starting with uprooting her life to chase after Yvonne in the middle of nowhere, followed by "why won't you bully me?" and instantly moving in with Yvonne at the least invitation.

They are two of the most powerful wizards in the realm. There is exactly zero chance they will end up destitute, they can write their own freaking ticket. So the answer seems a bit thin to me.

OTOH Yvonne's family plunged from rich nobility to poverty (and wasn't even worse poverty only because she planned ahead.) So her being twitchy on the subject of support wouldn't be totally nuts.

not wanting to sleep with someone that you consider underage is...extremely valid.

It's pretty wack for this to be the first time it's been brought up, though.

I though Evie was also underaged when she transmigrated? Though I guess if you add the years together that would make her older.

I don't recall it being clear. She did have a job at one point, and the novel version has "Even Yvonne, with her two lifetimes of experience."

Biggest issue if the reincarnator cares. Then there's WataOshi/IFTV, where Rei doesn't give a damn, despite being likely upwards of 25, with her Earth memories and personality dominant.

Least useless lesbian. https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/my_blue_garnet_ch05#33

This all seems very unethical

Still better than Academy City! (Railgun)

+10: Bully Elsa by pushing her down

Someone is doing the Please Bully Me novel here... though I think posting text as images is the Devil's work.

I suppose it's pretty easy to have a small Discord server.

Is green tea have any sort of symbolic meaning in Japan? Similar to how it got used to describe two-faced people in China during the 2010s.

I wouldn't expect any symbolic meaning, but I wouldn't expect what you said about China, so I dunno. But in my limited knowledge, I would think green tea in Japan is like black tea in England, too much of a default drink to mean anything by itself.

"Why pay for lesbian sex services when you can be paid for lesbian sex services?" Taps head

Still waiting for Asumi-chan to discover the cycle of life.

You could also see if the Dynasty Discord mods would be open to having a thread for your translation. Built-in audience.

An uncensored change is crazy, right? Did something change?

An uncensored what?

in chapter 2 is all messy, with Misa saying it's only a place to sleep and eat, but by chapter 7 she's got it cleaned up and even has nice plants

Really? Ooh, nice.

never-ending lies

momoka and hajime have been together for some time

Are they actually a couple or do they just hang together a lot, bound by shared dead loved one?

If it's an American author with a foreign audience, maybe she should just be making a webcomic in English...

what's the deal with the whole "long strip" format anyway? they're so inconvenient to read.

Those are webmanhua/webmanhwa which are primarily intended to be read on a vertically scrolling smartphone interface. Tech tip: Gecko-based desktop browsers can emulate mobile device interfaces with Ctrl + Shift + M.

Does this work on Mac Firefox? What would change?
