Have they ever done an Otome Game story where the main character of the game is wondering why the villainess started acting so weird all of a sudden trying to avoid people?

[wuhugm]

^Usually the body was taken over before they met so no discomfort
Unless the heroine is a reincarnated too and then it becomes the battle of Nipponjin

Or, stupid stuff like this could happen

I find it funny when a brother and sister find themselves in an Otome Game though.

I'm getting tired of the adventurer team leader kicking out the luggage carrier and later he's being exhausted carrying his own luggage.

Yeah, that unloading your massive haul at the guild scene is really old.

Well I've read 26 chapters now and can see the issues it has, at least. Character dialogue and personalities are pretty dry and don't particularly mesh well. It has a lot of narration but of essentially nothing being said. Better than the no narration at all like many other novels have, mind you.
MC tries to come off as smooth and cool like a dark hero character but talks a bit much and is a little too nosy to really pull it off.

It's also lacked anything really exciting so far. Which isn't an issue because you can write anything in a way to make it interesting or exciting with some effort, but here things are portrayed as more matter-of-fact than spiced up.

The setting itself isn't bad but there's been no hint of an overall plot. It's just been episodic adventure quests, really. MC gave up on going home immediately so that gotten taken care of real easily, but he's just living as a secretly super powerful adventurer with a lot of weird items in the guise of just a normally fairly strong adventurer.

Also, every はい is always written as ハイ which is really annoying me.
Honestly it just lacks a hook. It's something you can put down and forget about real easily. Maybe it gets better later.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
Analkan lives!
And says he'll resume the X-ray vision series. He's been gone three fucking years, so I thought he was dead or something. Literally best news ever.

This Unbound World's "Normal" Is Difficult seems pretty interesting and fun. It has manga.

On the bordrs of the Luden Kingdom lies the embodiment of hell, The Walter Prison.
Because of being born to imprisoned prostitute, completely innocent girl named Elma was forced to live there. After king died kingdom gave "pardon" to lot of minor crimminals and Elma was discovered and taken by head maid of palace.

What noone knew was that Walter Prison was long taken over and run by 6 (each of them 7 deadly sin themed, implying Elma is 7th) exceptional inmates who not just raised Elma but also imparted all their skills and knowledge to her and so story of super OP maid who has to learn how to deal with "normal world" begins...

^Maid MC! I'm in... was what I wanted to say, but

I hate megane

[Tenzen12]

Apparently she has to wear them to not seduce man and women alike, her sight is perfect.

[dragon1412]

^^ What a coincedence, so am i.

[Ruki0089]

I love Meganeko but she MUST have boob

[wuhugm]

^^^
I read the manga, and it's freaking comedy

She's said to be very beautiful without glasses

But it's the same logic with OP MC hiding his powers

If other people don't know that, then whether you're as beautiful as goddess or stronger than gods, none of that matter

If it's not observable, then it doesn't exist

[Tenzen12]

Yes, but if it's said she is beutiful without glasses, it also means it's only matter of time before it became permanently observable. You know that.

[wuhugm]

^Of course that will happen, just like all those OP bastards reveal

But I don't think that will matter in this kind of story
I don't think this is even romance

Unlike Kate in Muiella for example

Where she was almost raped by her former master

Elma is crazy and OP, no males can get close to her
Is there a point being super beautiful maid then?

Also, doesn't change the fact that her default state is megane, which will stay till maybe the last arc, sigh

[Tenzen12]

It seems second prince x Elma gonna be thing to me. But maybe you are one to be
right and romance will be secondary or non-existent. Do you need romance in your novel?

Speaking of maid MCs Charlotte's letter is really good storywise, MC happen wear glasses here too though.

[wuhugm]

^Charlotte's letter is too pretentious, and megane

If the MC is beautiful maid, then romance is a must of course lol
If it's mystery genre or such then it's not

But anyway, the essence of being maid/butler MC, is situated in socially lower position
Giving an impression that their masters can do anything to them
This doesn't apply to Elma since she can summon Cow and Tuna from nowhere to solve any problem
She also didn't have any special reason to become a maid, a random guy (prince tho) told her to be one and she did

[Tenzen12]

She was fishing whole day to catch that tuna it and then it took 5 hours pull it out. Her abbility summon things out of nowhere is limited to cows. It's true she didn't have to be maid, but it makes sense for headmaid (not prince) to take her in.

And I also I think maids/buttler that are not inherently in inferior postion to their masters are better. Ie master has position, servant has skill master cannot do without. Makes much better dynamics.

Plus I don't think ChL is pretentious. It could be much more edgy or trying glorify any of characters, but it does either.

[wuhugm]

^In relation to other people perception

Servants are almost always more competent than the masters
But that doesn't matter to other high nobles, they are just servants

But that's the good thing, since an affair of noble and maid is what we're trying to insinuate

ChL is too different than other recent webtoons
It puts great focus to other characters than MC like the brother sister masters
But... I don't really care about them yo
