So that's the trick. Whatever this curse is can control her response if she tries to respond at all, but if she doesn't intend at all to actively respond, she's free to make any expressions she wants. Could be a bit of a lifeline.
Not that one either. And it is? I'm kinda surprised. Admittedly.
Well, what I can remember:
As I said, he saved an old man noble and his granddaughter from bandits. He also foxes the young girl's magic book, as it was teaching her badly. Became their private combat tutor. There's a son or a...
I forget the exact name of it, But I remember it was a story where the main character was a combination magician swordsman (I distinctly recall the term Grey Robe) and ended up saving some sort of noble and their daughter. The end result being that he ended up as a magic and combat tutor for...
For everyone who's yelling at Alicia at the moment about her being flatly racist, you have to remember. While you would have been accurate 100% in the Web novel, This version of events has her see the main character as literally a vague black morass of an object, not actually as a physical...
This is actually kinda interesting if you've read the web novel; in that, Alicia was not at all sensible about her distrust and was much more vindictive in her accusations, and notably did NOT have the excuse that she was seeing something different from everyone else; it was purely because of...
I've read the source material, it's hilarious. Not as tropey as one might think, either! If you haven't read the source, then you're in for a wild ride.
The only problem I have with this kinda stuff is that it pretty much invariably winds up with the ML suddenly deciding they like the FL because they've become 'interesting'. They just want what they can't have, it's a thrill of the chase thing, and the FL is usually too milquetoast to tell them...
I'll be honest, I was worried they were going to sidestep the fact that Anne-Sophie is legitimately a lesbian, but it seems like they did indeed point it out directly, even if they didn't go as hard as the novel did. (She makes it 200% clear in the novel that she likes the ladies, in a romantic...
I forget if it's pointed out earlier, but they kinda whitewashed Liora. In the novel (at least in the translated version I bought), Liora's very explicitly said to be of a darker skin (deep tanned/broze, I think) color and from a tribal nation. Clearly meant to be indigenous analogue. Shame that...
Funny thing is, I'm not even really mad. Not because I think she's justified in acting that way- she's not. But rather because to me it's clear she has trust and self esteem issues. She's essentially the mirror image of Tabata. She, like Tabata, believes the worst of how people think about...
I also think it's very needed. We've got so many of these by now that it'd cut down on a lot of searching. I enjoy these villainness isekais as well, so yeah. Tag it up!
Okay, so weirdly? I dunno how I feel about Mana and Ray as a duo. It legit feels like Mana's incompetent- or at least too new to really trust with anything remotely dangerous or fragile or anything. I can't say Ray's complaints aren't justified. Furthermore, I can't really blame Ray for wanting...
