Damn, gender segregation in Japan is quite severe...

Why are you taking pictures instead of Tsugu, Sayo?

Is that what they called yume joshi (夢女子)?

OMFG... This is ill-natured.

2024 has been a very bad year for me so I'm just wondering if everyone here is having a very good/amazing year.

Not good, worked my ass off just to earn some money to keep my therapy working. But no suprisingly bad things otherwise.

I'm gonna do my best to be more active on here, especially now that i'm having alot of depressing, dark day's lately. I hope I'm not a nuisance/bother to anyone here.

"You're not a bother" is probably what you want to hear, but as a matter of fact, it's unavoidable to bother someone or someone else during interactions. It's the nature of human interaction and it's fine, too! I too sometimes will become a bother to other people, but since I'm surrounded by kind and understanding people, we worked to solve conflicts together, and due to this, I want to be kind to others, when they're having a harsh time, too ( ´∀｀)

I'm also been going to a therapist lately to help with my mental health and I'm finally starting to have more positive/happy days now.

Good to know. Congratulations (>ω<)

omg I thought it's something like IT workers before actually opened it lmao

honestly in most "system admin" plots the MCs are rather just a user of the "system"? Or some "system" is even parasital? To a normal IT worker "administrator" implies absolute control and ownership over one thing (like root on Linux or Administrators on Windows), to me many of them are just using but not controlling the system?

Update:
Recently read a Chinese web novel (not romance) that MC thought they transmigrated to this world and got a system that gives them various capabilities, only to later found them to be one of the discarded "lab rats" in an experiment, the transmigration experience is faked, and the "system" is a brain implant.
Pretty much why I have problem with the "administrator" description. In these cases even the MC's free will is tampered and cannot be guaranteed, how is MC administering the system that way?

if this ever got paired with the communism tag it would make for a peak manga

social gap fall from grace communism

lol

Poor Lilly is clearly completely misreading the situation. :D

Yup, the poor girl still hasn't noticed that Rae is exclusively claireromantic and clairesexual. :-(

Rae explicitly calls herself a lesbian, even if she is in love with Claire they've made a real clear point to say that's not the start and end of her sexuality, that's also why they told the story of her first love before getting isekai'd. Lily does theoretically have a chance, but it would require Rae and Claire breaking up in some definitive way and that's unlikely... probably.

She's really got no chance, breakup or not. I also think the previous poster knows she's lesbian but Rae has been just as clear that she only wants Claire and doesn't even consider anyone else, so the Clairesexual is probably a joke. That's a whole (hilarious but serious) chunk of her personality.

Lily does stand a chance in one chapter near the end of the whole story in LN, (LN spoiler removed in accordance with submitted complaint)

Having reached the part where Manaria talks about her most dreadful of mistakes,it's interesting to see that they gave the maid a face here but not in the animated adaptation.

Makes me wonder if there's a very slight hint of reconciliation yet to be had?...

What are you asking exactly? In the novel? Yes. In manga? idk, probably not. I don't think it would be continued to there.

She's got a point.

^^ OMG

BTW, I googled the exchange rate, and apparently the amount that she stole is equivalent to about US$14,000. So she didn't exactly get rich off of this.

First, simply compute how many money it is by currency exchange rate ignores the purchase power parity of different currencies. As a more accurate reference, Big Mac in local McD is ∼25 CNY.
Second, the average monthly income in today(2024)'s China is way less than 5k, so that means it would take a person with above average income 1 year and 8 months to earn what roughly equals to 14k USD in current currency exchange rate, while paying ¥0 in rent, morgage, food, clothes, etc. And judging by the factory the author draw, it would not suprise me if their salary is less than 5k.
That women didn't get rich (and given the description of her household it's probably fair to say it didn't change a lot of her situation, though if part of what she did is to be blamed is not known), but MC can easily be put into poverty because of it.

The "I should let you get married" panel was incredible

ikr, that page was absolutely gold (;_;)

Also I don't know what exatly time does this happened, but until the revoke of "crime of hooliganism" (idk what the commonly accepted translation of "流氓罪" is, sorry) in 1997, homosexual sexual activity [1] is criminalized in China. The situation of homosexuality has improved somewhat after that [2], but the mass society is still pretty homophobic and anti-LGBT in China. In a social env. like this it's quite easy to develop internalized homophobia, and/or think something like "homo couples won't last", "we'll be pressured to break up anyway".

Also same-sex marriage is not legitimate in China even now. Same-sex couple can't legally adopt or parent children, too. That woman is right in page 10 of latter part, not only she have no ability to marry the MC, they can't marry legally speaking, and it would be a headache to deal with her daughter's documents (I guess it means legal documents like ID cards and Hukou), if she has no Hukou she can't even be admitted to public elementary schools (private schools are EXPENSIVE).

Given the existence of Alipay (支付宝) I guess this story won't be older than ∼15 years. Alipay was founded in 2004 but its used was not really popularized until the introduction of Yu'e Bao (余额宝, a money market funds with support for use as a real-time payment option) in 2013.

(In case someone accuse me of red herring, if just describing the situation of LGBT+ and people in general in China counts as red herring then I can only infer we can't have actual conversation.)

[1] And polyamorous relationship as well. There has been case of poly people being sentenced to capital punishment for "crime of hooliganism".

[2] Though last 4-8 years shows a stedy decline in aceptance socially again, due to national propaganda machine framing LGBT as "foreign culture influence", not unlike Russia under Putin, though they have not criminalize it, yet.

What is "Special Pregnancy Privilege"? Is it "if you give birth to a girl in first time pregnancy you can give birth to a second child"? Can you show me the original Chinese text?

Context:
For a long time there was a forced birth control policy called "One Child Policy" ("forced", meaning if you don't follow the policy you can be fined or, at worst, forced to go through abortion process) that restrict birth to having only one child per family.
Sexism is rampant in China at that time (it still thrives btw) and basically everyone wants a male children because of ideas like "only male offspring can pass over the family lineage, female offspring would be gone after getting married". Afraid of causing riots in some places, government in some areas adjusted the policy to include an additional line "if you give birth to a girl in first time pregnancy you can give birth to a second child".
It was a part of the brutal dark history of the Chinese government, which it constantly tried to sweep under the rug.
