Speaking about prostitution & brothel stories, anyone knows if these two are still in scanlation and we'll get new chaps at some point?

If they make a drinking game for this manga, one of the lines will be:

  • Every time a HOTW (ho of the week) thinks Asumi is adorable and wants to keep her: chug.

Death by alcohol intoxication!
Coz every fucking sexworker in that online brothel wants Asumi!
CTTOI, this is pretty much proof of authorial Mary-Sue-ish self-insertion in her main character. :v

Ancient Greek writers and contemporary literary critics: conflict and drama is absolutely necessary for people to keep being invested in a story.

I got the similar feeling from Mutually Unrequited Twin Sister.

Have the twins kissed with tongue already? I can't remember.

So in your mind, you are liking to see in 2D, the same situation and same acts that in reality would be unfathomably sadistic and horrible ?

I'm reading right now (and totally loving) a xianxia webnovel. The mc has bad meridians and can't cultivate, so all the other characters call him a trash and bully him all the time. Then the mc discovers a mysterious cultivation technique he can practice, becomes super strong, and enacts a gruesome revenge on all the mean people who bullied him before: some he kills, some he mutilates, some he exterminates their whole clans... I guess, according to you, I'm some kind of sick monster who likes to see in fiction the same situation and same acts that in reality we all would call sadistic and horrible? And just as sick and monstruous are the billions of human beings who read novels or watch movies or play games with similar plots?

And no, these creators are never at risk for creating gay content.

The most they risk is becoming millionaires if their work is a huge success. XD

A series I really love is Mo Dao Zu Shi, it's xianxia and it's very gay, with extremely explicit descriptions of gay sex. The original novel was published on an online platform in 2015 and then printed as paper books in 2016 and reprinted in 2018. The ongoing manhua adaptation (started in 2017) is so popular it was awarded the Best Manhua award at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Festival. The audio drama based on the novel aired in three seasons from 2018 to 2020 and has such massive popularity (hundreds of millions of playbacks) it's still today in the top 3 most listened to series in the overall ranking for audio streaming websites. The anime adaptation also has three seasons (plus a Q spinoff); the third and final season aired a few months ago, from August to October, and of course the two mcs are just as gay as in the novel and get their happy gay ending in the last episode! (Squee!) And there's a live action series as well, 50 episodes of 40 minutes each, which was filmed in 2019-2020. I've found it on Youtube and just started watching it, it seems very well made and I'm liking it a lot! (Tho I'd say... Wangji's actor is too much of a pretty boy, he should look more strong and manly!!!)

This, I think, is a good example of how gay stories are not only quite common in Chinese media but also hugely popular—and widely acclaimed!

So Dorothy has no idea and zero clue about the Villainess system.
She just believes Evie is childish tsundere. All our speculation was wrong.
I am disappointment. :(

in the famous words of pop team epic… middle fingers

Imagine having that profile pic and thinking your opinion is valid

Exact same words went through my head when I saw his profile pic....
What's with that symbol anyway? What does it mean? A hate for females? Women not allowed around him? What's the implied idea?

So this chapter pretty much confirms that Elsa understands at least some aspect of the villainess system

Probably not that much, but it does seem like Elsa suspects that something is going on with her.

Yvonne mentions that the system only pops up when Elsa is near. How many times has Elsa witnessed Evie suddenly appear surprised/annoyed with no clear cause? Seen her reading something that isn’t there? And then proceed to ‘bully’ her? Just because she can’t see the system doesn’t mean she can’t see Evie interact with it.

You're likely right. And that makes me think there must be a heroine system that Elsa is forced to interact with.
Normally seeing another person stop on her tracks, look shocked and start reading something that isn’t there would be strange but wouldn't make you suspect that they are interacting with a game-like system....unless you have a similar game-like system with which you have to interact yourself. That's what I have come to guess anyway.

Is this worth binge reading?
I read chapter one and was a li'l bit turned off by the loli blonde's yanyan flips.

I was kinda interested in this comic until I saw the MC attack someone for "pitying" her. The guy was trying to stop a group of bullies from badmouthing her and she assaulted him. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.

You could almost suspect that she's a stressed, overemotional teenager who can barely tolerate being hated but absolutely can't stand being pitied. Crazy, huh?

Imagine there were teen kids like that, who lash out with violence when they feel horrible humiliation. Hah! As if! This manga is so unrealistic.

No wonder Elsa ends up falling for her instead of the actual LIs

Listeriosis International Society? London Interdisciplinary School? Local Irrigation Services? Luxembourg Income Study?

Not exactly the best purchase ever if she's programmed to be the sort of wife who thinks she doesn't have to do anything except look good and have sex.

Of course she's programmed for housework, duh! She cleans like a pro, she does laundry like a boss, she washes the dishes like a champ, and she cooks like a five-stars chef!
But to unlock these functions you have to register with your finger in her vag.
Heh heh.

It's pretty clear that many authors are like, "I like age-gap! So let's make a really big age gap! And maybe some yuri incest! Now I feel like drawing sex toys! Oooh, one of my favorite mangaka just had a cute cat-ear-girl yuri story--now I want to try a story with a loli cat-ear girl whose mom runs a sex-toy shop!" Etc.

And the world's a better place for that.

Japan, you should really look into your craft when it comes to sandals, they always snap in manga or cause injuries ... really impractical.

They are scientifically calculated to snap in the exact moment when it will cause the sandal wearer to fall into the arms of her romantic interest.

This was really great. Kasumi deciding to seriously go for her crush instead of waiting for her to take notice, using the dating app to demonstrate that she’s actually the one Suzu was looking for, and the delicious drama when they meet… awesome.

With Suzu being how she is, it was the only way to get to her.

That’s when Kasumi first confronts her right? I think that’s her worrying that Kasumi is just there to tear her down. Notice how it clears away when Kasumi pulls the classic Ikemen move, “aren’t I the only one for you?” and then she gets all blushy because she realizes her childhood friend is this really hot, forward person who she knows she has fun with. I think it’s super cute.

Her new look makes her look more butch, so the ikemen moves make sense: she got the look, and now the attitude to match.

The queen bee is the one who gets all the drones. That's the point how to understand it. The male drones all want the queen bee and the other female bees (workers) get no action because all the males want to have sex with the queen bee. The metaphor is used in a context where there's a woman who monopolizes (or wants to monopolize) the attention of all the males around (chiefly the "best" most eligible ones) to be alpha female. Maru in Pink Rush is one example of this character.

There used to be a list of Yuri Iconography, back in the day. It used to include things like: lilies, handmade chocolates, umbrellas, yellow Volkswagen Beetles, and Walther P99's. ^_^

I have so many questions now.

Toudou chan is kind of a scum bag -__-

You just realized that?

I keep thinking Scummy from this manga should take some lessons from Toudou.
Because she really isn't doing too well at being the eponymous scumbag. Toudou, otoh, w-o-w.

Waiting on the triumphant return of Prez. She's probably the only one who likes the MC, potion effect or not.

That's not exactly true. Toudou's friend, the cosplay master, likes her for real, even with no potion. But Prez never showed any hint of liking her before the potion.
