Yeah, that's what I meant. The definition of unwholesome is literal porn and slavery apologists. The MC being kind of mean or the story getting violent sometimes aren't disqualifiers.

All kidding aside, I just binged all of "The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass" and it was really good. Definitely has the type of political intrigue going on that I like. However, I particularly liked that there is literally a magic hourglass involved, and atypical of "cheat" abilities, using it costs the MC juuuuust enough to keep it from being overused. It is wholesome in that the MC VERY slowly grows as a person, and finally has a moment besides having two people set up into a relationship that is convenient for her, she realizes she genuinely wishes for their happiness. MC also gets bonus points for forming up a cool maid crew, and winning over most of the other maids in the house (who all hated her during her first life). So thank you for recommending that, thread! Keep up the good work.

Finished reading Undead Adventurer LN6 and started LN7 via membership and I have to make the call that this is indeed the best DnD manga in recent memory with the only other contenders being Wolf Wont Sleep and Dungeon Meshi.

it's a beauty and the beast story where she kisses the wolf one day and he turns into a person again, going by the description it has so far not engaged in bestiality at all and besides one or two jokes about it is pretty much a perfect fit for this thread the chapter was "oh god we're sending this poor woman in with a monster she's going to get eaten" and the punchline was "hey so I knocked him out and I know you guys want me to make an heir but I don't think this is going to work". so like just mention that hey there's some beastiality jokes in the beginning and I don't see why you wouldn't be able to talk about it here. it is a very different beast (lol) than the multiple reincarnated as an animal and now the female adventurer wants me to mate with her series everythingWasBees fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Sep 23, 2020 |

To be fair she could turn back any time she wants to, she's just kind of embarrassed that she's been mooching off the Dragon King as a cat for months.

also thank you all who recced hourglass it's almost 4am and ive been reading it nonstop it is extremely good surprisingly not super meanspirited in comparison to a lot of series despite the mc like throwing away all her morals. some of the other revenge series like this start getting super hard to stomach. Shen Yi Di Nu was one I really liked but just had to stop reading after a point. everythingWasBees fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Sep 23, 2020 |

everythingWasBees posted:it shows up there and in a flashback to what happened and then never again afaik I made my earlier post based on the discussion around it, and skimming it, it's not really advocating for it, but it's not really a one off joke. It's a central plot point that's dwelt on for a few chapters, and involves the MC being indirectly coerced and knowingly trying to have sex with the beast, who, unlike the beast in Beauty and the Beast, who is sapient beast, is basically just a huge wolf/dog here and acts like one. It also gets called back to a few times, and the plot hasn't dismissed the possibility of further mating attempts in the future. With that said, nothing graphic is shown, and it's not like it's something being advocated for by the author, so something like a content warning would probably suffice in discussing it. But that kind of gets into another issue, which is: thetoughestbean posted:“Wholesome isekai” is an unattainable goal and really the two threads should be rolled into one My understanding is that the split in the two threads was primarily to keep the crappy power fantasy isekai that prominitely feature slavery and rape elements trained to their own thread so that awful discussions of those elements would stay over there and not reemerge into multi-page arguments, as well as to not surprise or upset anyone reading this thread with those elements being discussed, possibly at great detail. But then that gets into the issue of people who find a lot of the sex chat, or jokes about beastiality, wildly uncomfortable as well. I don't want to be prudish and stifle conversations unless they are going in an awful direction, but my point is that people are going to have different moral standards that upset them, and no matter what you decree "off limits" to discussion, there's probably going to be some degrees of discomfort with some of the materials that get posted in either of these threads. I don't think unifying threads really solves this issue, it just leaves more people feeling uncomfortable about the subject matter that they find discomforting. But I also don't think that making a ton of mega threads makes a lot of sense either. In many cases, I think spinning off some of these series into their own threads might be the most beneficial avenue, as it allows for people who want to discuss it to do so at great length without tiptoeing around the subject matter, and for people who find it disconcerting to ignore it altogether.

If it came from here, then oops, but I've found another good villainess one. The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen Who Will Become the Source of Tragedy Will Devote Herself for the Sake of the People I am now officially a mark for 'I'm the Final Boss' reincarnation stories. I want a reverse isekai of an elf coming to our world and destroying capitalism and restoring the planet after we've hosed it up for so long.

Yeah, most of the time there'd be no story if the reincarnated villainess/final boss decided her fate was changeable and just hosed off to spend her life fly fishing or something. Come to that, there's probably an I'm the Final Boss, But I'd Rather Be Fly Fishing with My Demon Sidekick isekai waiting to be translated.

Oh, I've seen that a couple of times already. Like, "Did I reincarnate as a villainess like in all those stories?! But I don't know the story I'm in right now! I should've listened more to my otaku friend!" kinda thing. Vincent Van Goatse posted:Yeah, most of the time there'd be no story if the reincarnated villainess/final boss decided her fate was changeable and just hosed off to spend her life fly fishing or something. I mean, "Villainess slow life" is also already a thing. Although usually the idea is that they intentionally get themselves exiled and disowned first so they have no responsibilities. And then like the entire story is composed of people from their old life trying to get them back. Clarste fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Sep 24, 2020 |

Oh yeah, that one was particularly stupid, no doubt. Edit: Something I see a lot in Korean versions is that the reincarnatee ends up in a relationship with the male lead of the story but assumes that he's destined to fall in love with the female lead so she tries to distance herself from him (which never works and instead just causes lots of a drama).
