If it's filled with lolis it can't really be hell. But yeah whether it's orthodox or not, I'm enjoying where my life is at these days ^^

And thank you~ <3

Lmao, I guess that’s one way to look at it :D

Yeah once you’ve been dicced it’s hard to go back to who you once were :3

Is that a good or a bad thing? o:

There used to be more like ours so everyone was taking ideas from everyone anyway. Peoples kind of stopped doing it when the LN related became less and less active. I'd say it'll be nice to see a new one after all that time ;).
Alencia Apr 10, 7:48 AM
I can't agree more~ I don't think many people recognise that's her in my profile pic XD

Nice review BTW. I like how you pointed out they adapted it in a different order than the LN. That is also my biggest complaint towards the adaptation. Yes, most of the contents are the same but all the foreshadowing and build up was totally destroyed. "Memory in children" is definitely the climax of the first half in my opinion and they aired it in the first episode. I thought it was a very bad decision.

Yep, that's something I like with Yen Press, they stick to what they license without dropping it midway. Without them the whole Ln english translation would be in quite the disastrous state.
Favourite Japanese author for mystery stories is Matsuoka Keisuke. I've read more than 30 volumes from him. I like them all, but I particularly like Tantei no Tantei. His general style is quite surprising for detective, it's detective stories with no murders at all. Scams, counterfeit, and so on rather than murder, and always so well thought out and so well documented. But in Tantei no Tantei, he actually goes the dark thriller way. Would think something he's not used to would feel out ofd place? But not at all, he just adds to that genre his usual talent and huge knowledge. And he totally nailed it.

Sorry for answering so late.
Well, that's only the first 6 though, so not even 1/3rd of the whole series afaik :/.
Mental strength is still strength, yes, but too often in fantasy stories with male protag (especially harem) you see the main female characters with more "combat strength" than "mental strength", and I personally enjoy more the mental strength than combat strength.
Looks like you're quite into detective stories. Too bad all of those I've read and enjoyed are untranslated I guess >_<.

That's a rarity then ;O. Which shouldn't be rare considering how many freaking MC are indecisive to death tbh, but a rarity nonetheless.
Zefyris Mar 11, 8:39 AM
I usually enjoy mental strength more than physical strength for female character (well, for male characters as well I guess). Collecting them as pokemon, that's pretty much what some male leads like Touma from Index do yes xD.

That's too bad, some of the best novels from Japan I've read recently have female protagonists (but then again I feel like a lot of them will never get a proper translation, like the amazing Tantei no Tantei).
Not just a bit; that kind of things in VNs is 100% self insert lol^^".

When there's a proper reason it's fine.Or I guess, when the protag ends up punished for not choosing (girls ends up going for someone else because they're tired of his indecisiveness), it's fine too, but I don't think I ever saw that one happening.
Zefyris Mar 11, 6:06 AM
Magic school stories (regardless of the original format) are quite infamous for often being like that, just like isekai harem+ power fantasy types I guess.
I suppose one reason I enjoy female protagonist in stories is that you usually avoid that kind of thing completely ( not taking in account reverse harem stories~). Whenever the female protagonist is OP, it doesn't lead to forming a harem, so you can just enjoy that female character being epic without being annoyed. <3

Uh, the "protagonist is so dense that gravity itself is affected and all female characters start to rotate around him" kind of set up is more annoying than indecisive female character imo. And the "I can't choose just one" is fine in a hentai, not that much in anything else tbh. I can see someone indecisive IRL to some degree, but the "I can't choose" and the super dense ecchi protagonist are overboard.
And that's someone who is super dense himself who is saying this, just saying.
Zefyris Mar 11, 3:27 AM
Well I'm fine with 2 love interests, but generally I found that anything above that is not worth it, authors don't know how to handle it and just repeat the same narrative tricks ad nauseam.
Exception would be KyouHora with 3 because it's a real harem this time, and not just a MC that doesn't know who to choose or is too dense to get a clue.
Zefyris Mar 10, 10:21 AM
I don't care that much about who is winning as long as the decision makes sense by the end of the story. If by the end of the story I'm like "wtf why?" then I don't think that's any good.
Zefyris Mar 10, 10:14 AM
That's always a problem with the ending of romance stories, shippers that didn't got their ship to sail throw a tantrum and make sit difficult to properly judge the quality of said story with ratings alone~
Zefyris Mar 10, 9:26 AM
I liked the anime adaptation of Sakurasou (never read the novel), but I've read bad things about its ending, so I don't know.
Yeah sometimes it's easier to get it in English, like Kirie.
Zefyris Mar 10, 2:41 AM
I'm not sure about seishun buta yarou, but Boogiepop I like the news. That's a novel series that I tried to get several times, but it's hard to find it on stock properly since it's quite old.
Zefyris Mar 7, 12:00 PM
Earth star has twice the capital stock​ of TO books though, so that's that (30 million vs 15 million yen). It belongs toa group that has more than Earth star and already ordered other anime to be made, so I don't think that's a problem, but hey, I don't know how that works exactly.
