@Catdyne I wanted to like this but it's so stereotypically centered on "woman weak" that I couldn't take it anymore. It gets really tiresome awfully quick. The story doesn't progress pass that, unfortunately -- unless you're into this kind of angsty Twilight-esque nonsense, I suggest looking...

@Fauchard That definitely seems to be a trend in manga, manhua and manhwa -- they're all converging on that formulaic and repetitive narrative. Perhaps least so in the Korean stuff, but they're doing the "system" thing, like in China, to death. Not that it hasn't occurred in manga previously...

@Pipz You remember correctly. Athena is the daughter of Zeus, born of no mother, and sprang fully clothed in armour from his head; her domains are warfare, handicraft and wisdom. The syncretic Roman counterpart is Minerva that add justice and law to her domains. There's also a larger symbolic...

Of all the stupid trash I've read in this genre, I can't even find the words for this one. Thoroughly stupid, mediocre art, try-hard comedy, nonsensical plot and overall a chore to read. If it was at least a little bit funny, I could bear it. But it's just too much for me, I can't find any...

uuuuh ..... chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) was one of the first minerals ever mined and smelted along with galena (for lead) and other sulfur-containing minerals. Rare my ass, it's the most common copper ore of all! Chalcopyrite is what lead to the Bronze Age. It was the primary source of copper...

Edgelord magic-school manga incoming! And for all those worried -- this has no relation to "The Irregular at Magic High School" (Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei), which more directly translates as "Bad student of the Magic Department of Senior High". This title more directly translates to "Worst...

@Pirate-Pierate Nah, there are plenty of people here who cares what others think and read the comments -- I think it's interesting to hear different takes and there are usually a lot of differing opinions! For my take, I pretty much agree to the general sentiment in the previous comments; it's...

There's some minor twists in the world building that make it at least readable, but this is another one of those Japanese takes on the reincarnation cultivation manhuas -- same tropes and dozens of "EEEH?! EEEEEEH?! Impossibiru!" panels that are supposed to be comedic relief, but end up as...

Wow, I had some hopes for this one but it certainly took a nose-dive into standard-land awfully abruptly. It's good enough unless you're a hardened isekai veteran, I think -- I hope I'm wrong but I think I know where this is going: nowhere. It's likely rinse and repeat from this point on as far...

Isekai trash panda reporting in. As always, thanks to the TL team. Standard fare -- as usual there's not point in it being an isekai. But, genre fantasy readers would never accept the inconsequential plot and boring magic-babble. The only reason the isekai thing is there is to hand-wave...

Isekai trash panda here, reporting in. Big thanks to the translators, wouldn't have been able to read it without them. Good art, first chapters promise something different but then as usual with this kind of story it falls off a cliff. If you've read any reincarnation cultivation stories, this...

@C3PO I agree, feeling the same way. First arc was promising, second one overly stereotypical and needlessly wordy; do we really need all that inconsequential backstory-- I for one don't really care about some second rate villains' backstories or their run-of-the-mill motivations.... It would...

If you're looking for a wuxia or martial arts story with some kind of progression or development with a cast of characters and a plot, this isn't it. I guess it fills some comedy niche, maybe HK sitcom humour from the 70s? Definitely not for me, I have no idea what it's supposed to be-- perhaps...

When they said guns I imagined wheel-locks or flintlocks and thought that finally an author had realized firearms became prominent in the late medieval/early renaissance period that almost all fantasy imitates. But it was scoped bolt-action rifles with pencil-barrels and bayonet lugs along Roman...

I'm usually pretty tolerant with isekai, being a self-proclaimed isekai trash panda but this one was just kinda boring... I usually don't give up unless there's something really awful about a manga, but I'm pretty much dropping this halfway through. It's alright as far as art and characters and...

Thanks for the translation. As for the story ... urgh, I skipped 70+ chapters ahead after the bog standard intro and didn't feel as if I'd missed a single thing, the story had progressed exactly nowhere -- or at least nothing that had happened in between had any bearing on the story itself. I...

In my entire life I have never seen a woman faint, from stress, pain, fear or anything else-- be it childbirth or stabilizing a broken leg. She might throw up from stage fright, loose the ability to speak properly before a particuarily rough exam, but faint? Yet in stories like these women faint...

@cinnamoncookie I'm with you on that one, rated 4, dropped; there's so many better villainess stories out there, not sure what this one is trying to be. "Cheating Men Must Die" is pretty much the same thing just better. Big thanks to the translators though, no complaints regarding the scan or...

Almost 30 years later and it's still one of my favourites. Also has the rare distinction of being a completed isekai. Read it and if you like it, go buy it. It deserves a place on your bookshelf if you like isekai, shoujo or fantasy.

"maximum originality" that description has got to be a joke, right? No shade on the creators; go for it -- but maybe write something more sensible.
