Sadistic Beauty
3/4️ complete Oct 2022 I am raring this low even though it isn't horrible, it is just weird. It isn't S&M, too much blood and rape for that. I don't like ANY of the characters, they all feel like caricatures of themselves. The bdsm is way too violent. Maybe if I had gone in not thinking of it as bfsm and more as a violent sex kink I could've enjoyed it more
Poison Dragon: The Legend of an Asura
4️ Chp 103 Oct 2022 Good, not great, failed to hold my attention sometimes but very original ideas inside of a pretty standard man v world plot. It is new to have a main character that isn't completely OP. MLs sect is destroyed and the boy has a traumatic young life. Once he is a young man he takes the fragmented pieces he has learnt to attempt to get revenge for his family and friends. The more secrs he takes down, the more people he kills, the more he realizes he may have to kill everyone to correct the corrupt system.
The Strongest Florist
3️ Chp 25 Oct 2022 I really thought I would like this, video game, cute lead character etc. But just can't get into it. I think this is meant for a younger audience.
I am a child of this house
4️ Ch 148.5 Nov 2022 Pretty typical of the genre to be fair. Strong girl (ish) has powers and is reincarnated, saves everyone, falls in love. The art is okay, the translation is meh, the story is pretty good but a bit juvenile. Almost at the end, wish it was done because I am not sure it is worth the reread once updated. It was good enough though that I didn't drop it, and I am dropping everything these days
Nano Machine
Moved from updated 4️ ch 133 Dec 2022 Not a regular time travel, his ancestor brings him nano technology which helps him succeed. He uses the technology and his own determination and wits to rise amoung the other eligible sect candidates. He is not afraid to kill or maim his opponents so best to stay on his good side. Not too bad, though parts are definitely muddled as far as people's motivation and there are so many characters to try and keep straight and everything has the name evil, sword or demon so it can get confusing.
Lord of Misfortune
Ch 144, Dec 22, ML has very bad luck, it is so bad he gets possessed by a demon. The demons luck turns bad and the possession fails. Now they are stuck together and find themselves fighting other bad actors with increasing regularity. Very good, the translation at the beginning gets better but from the comments the author may have dropped it.
The Golden Haired Elementalist
5️ ch 108 Dec 2022, 2nd season hiatus Everything I want actually, written as if there was a male lead and it was switched to a female. Not perfectly of course but as close as you can get in this medium for sure. The reincarnation is (as always) not needed, but I get why they throw it in. OP from the beginning, but she does have a goal and works for it. I do like that she is willing to get some blood on her hands and her personality isn't a perfect doll. She isn't waiting for someone to save her and is true to her goals and intentions. Little bit of a harem going on, but it's not overwhelming at all, more just realistic that men would be in those situations in this lifestyle.
Revival Man
5️, Ch 175, Jan 2023 Really, really good. First part is present, second part is prequel. Just what the summary says, man comes back after dieing, even after 175 chps I am not sure why. This book does kill people so be aware, but that adds to the suspense because you can never be sure when the author will kill a character. And boy ... the suspense is palpable. Had to walk away a couple times because it was just a lot! ML is very loveable and the side cast are all.amazing with tons of varied and realistic trauma to fill my baser needs. Definitely worth reading! Part of the SuperString universe: Revival Man, Terror Man, Terror vs Revival, Neolithic Girl, Westwood Vibrato, Distant Sky, Jungle Juice
The Constellation That Returned From Hell
4️ Ch 110, Jan 2023 Pretty good, usually kept me interested but it dragged at times and is seeming to become repetitive. ML gets confused and wanders the Abyss for ten thousand? Years and comes back much stronger. On earth there is dungeons and monsters and the ones in control are the constellations who can give powers to their servants. (Though you don't need a constellation to be strong because there is magic everywhere). Hunters still go into dungeons but also have hunter sports. Not the best I have read, and there are major plot holes, but far from the worst.
