Maha's manga / #dropped(231)

I've dropped this manga for various reasons. I don't particularly like it when a main character uses blackmail to get what they want at the expense of another person when there is it is for the material gain of the blackmailer. When I say this, I mean it in the sense that it's only for the gain of something that could A. be dealt with in other ways B. unnecessary for another person to solve. The things the MC asks of the ML, in the beginning, are uncalled for and could be called sexual harassment. Not my cup of tea.

This was okay, but that's just it. It was okay and only okay. This story had some potential but seemed to fall short in many ways at the same time. I found myself quickly losing interest as I continued to read on. It was off-putting for me to see the female lead try to force modern fixtures and ways of life while in the alternate world while not caring for any consequences that could arise from suddenly introducing so many new technologies and ideologies into a foreign world. Then came the point of her being able to pull all of it off on top of not even trying to learn and adapt to her new environment at all. There are a few good points to this piece, however. The art itself is pleasing on the eyes, there were minimal translation/grammatical errors, and even if the story was lackluster in some aspects it was passable in terms of plot and development.

I found myself quickly dropping this piece for a few reasons. One of the biggest downfalls of this piece is the translation/grammatical errors that make this almost impossible to read and understand. A story should flow, but because of the many times a reader must pause and think about what was just read in order to even understand what is written greatly disrupts that flow that's so key in keeping a reader engaged. I found myself not knowing what was really going on and not enjoying reading it in the slightest bit. I also held the problem with how cheap the character design as a whole was. Taken into account that personal taste is a factor, I found that the main female lead, who is supposed to be a goddess reincarnated that's both intelligent and noble, gave off the feeling of a cheap magic girl through the arts interpretation.

There are a few things that are off-putting about this manga. Personally, I have a hard time with how inraptured the male lead is with the female lead when there is little to no reason for why he helped her in the first place and no real growth towards their relationship. He meets her and immediately starts this possessive controlling behavior towards her and she just takes it as if he owns her. Him taking her in just seemed random and unrealistic when we as readers aren't given a proper reason for his actions.
