#review sorta

Overall, the webtoon is a 7/10 for, would read again because I did enjoy the romance and the world building a lot.

But come on, the stupidity of trusting someone very obviously untrustworthy? Constantly going to the palace despite the prince being a predator? The random as fuck bout of miscommunication?

The last part is what really made me mad, but that's ML bull more than FL bull. The main couple have no issue communicating damn near the entire webtoon only to have the crappy "you can't touch me, you'll die" dark romance classic and it was poorly done on top of that.

Again, overall I liked it, but I absolutely hated the "endgame" section because that was some bullshit.

And in all honesty, I kinda wish there was more focus on the relationship between Saya and Yuri. The romance was amazing (until the contrived bs), but definitely could have expanded more on the siblings.

raghhhhhhhhahahahahaha I actually really liked it!!! Like a lot!! I swing very violently between “annoying comic nerd that wants accuracy” and “here for fun” but i think i’m very much here for fun, this time. I don’t love the direction they’re going in for bullseye, because he is just evil in the comics, but also it’s just so FUN. Him helping, him being bad at that, whatever the inevitable fallout makes him do. It’s gonna be fun!!! Yay!!

I’m really loving Fisk’s coterie. I like Sheila and how long suffering she is, while also being very earnest about doing her job. Buck is really fun and felt like a parody of the British, which is very funny, and the shot of him in the light feels very “will turn to the good side”, which is cool. Daniel. I LOVE Daniel soooooo much, oh my godddddd. He’s so stupid, he’s so silly, he’s my favorite. Just here to be dumb and have fun.

I like the side characters! Kirsten gets to do things, YAY, and while she’s not totally my comic accurate favorite character of all she’s really getting there. I love swordsman. I like whatever they’re doing with Heather! I see her becoming female Muse in the future, which would be SICK. I was also wondering if the “evil spirits possessing you” line was a reference/implication of Typhoid Mary, but I know the did that in Iron Fist so maybe not. Matthew Lillard’s guy is very fun but pissing me OFF because i can’t tell if he’s supposed to be Quinn Stromwyn or is a BA OC.

Matt’s side of the story I don’t really care about? Karen cracks me up with her ugly ass wigs (which she doesn’t even brush? or straighten? or shake out after taking it outta the bag?) and her weird full-glam incognito makeup. I dislike her whole speech about Ben, because I very much wish he was here instead of her and I really don’t like her. The fact that a lot of Matt scenes are Karen scenes is turning me off, because I don’t like them in a relationship nor do I like her on her own, tbh. I’m hoping for BB to step up and Karen to die/leave/do something far away. Matt is cute and cool but I hate the beard and I HATEEEE the way that he is constantly screaming. Holy shit, dude, it was cool in the other show because it was RARE. It makes everything feel very awkward. I wish he would stop.

My opinion on "The Outstanding Woman"

I decided to start watching K-Drama due to my love of slice of life anime. After consuming a lot of the slice I've been craving to see it done in live action. And after discovering Dramaworld I realised there's heaps of it, and it all comes from South Korea.

I started scrolling through Netflix hoping to find something that tickles my fancy. And Gees Louise I was not disappointed. The most promising was Hello My Twenties, but I decided to start with The Outstanding Woman as it was five ten to fifteen minute episode. This seemed like a good place to start for a beginner.

The description of The Outstanding Woman was basically a woman trying to balance life, romance and work, but really it only focused on her tragic love life. The first episode was perfect. Our Outstanding Woman rejects a dating opportunity, made out of despair, in order to be independent and not settle for life. Then it goes down hill as the narrative punishes her for not being desprate enough to date her childhood friend. After a series of awkward and embarrassing situations revolving around her past and present romances she is left depressed and alone. And then she's not.

Don't get me wrong. I admire the persistence. But it was kinda unbelievable and not a satisfying after seeing her get beat on for the entire series. She need to achieve something or get rewarded for something outside her relationships. Seeing her write an amazing article would have been "outstanding", but instead we just see her decided to focus on it. Enthusiasm is worthless without effort.

Anyways that's my opinion. I feel bad pooping all over it, I just wanted something more inspiring. I eat that stuff up.

It is now my favourite movie. my only gripe is that it should have carried on for another hour! never have I watched a film that had so many inside jokes with me, a fantastic film, especially for the budget, rainmaker did fantastic on the visuals, and I love the characters all the more now, especially nefarious :D

Overall this episode gets all the points for me.

It was hilarious to see Simon and his vampire puberty issues, Simon and Luke being the best vamp & werewolf team ever, the cheesey Magnus bane commercial.

* malec switch a roo Alec totally embracing his gay side beautiful I loved how they switched it and made it similar with the cups and him taking Magnus line classic.

Points for the mention of cosplay

Valentine was very likeable and silly which is hilarious to me.

Im upset about Alec's choice words about Jace and he practically got him injured but I admire him because once again his just trying to help his family help Isabelle Idk it's so conflicting. Poor baby.

I just loved all the literal references that we're dropped through out the show.

The title of this post makes my opinion of this game sound way lower then it is overall. I could write a complex through and through of the whole thing, but im way too lazy for that, so here is a simple rundown of things I liked and disliked instead.

Pros

-Characters go somewhat beyond just anime stereotypes and by the end I actually liked most of them.

-Combat is simple enough to be casually fun, but does require a degree of strategy adjustment in bosses and such. I also ended up using items a lot more then I do in most JRPG’s.

-The title system is neat and I like how it actually changes npc dialogue. Unfortunately I only realized that it does so at the end of the game.

-Regal

-Just looking around for stuff on the map was fun. Especially for the dialogue hotspots since it rewards you with some neat dialogue.

-Everything is nice and colourful. With how drap a lot of games are these days, this was very refreshing.

-The whole thing was just overall nicely optimistic, without being straight up childish.

Cons

-Lloyd is just kinda bland. He suffers from the jrpg protagonist problem of having a personality that leaves him open for any of the relationship choices you go with, so he does not come off very focused.

-The world is too small! It fucks up my immersion when you are trying to save a world that’s about the size of a town in northern Lapland. I can get over it with the world map, but even the towns are just tiny as shit and there are really not enough of them to make the world feel like an unified civilisation.

-The difficulty curve was not that tight. The challenge was pretty on point most of the game, but by the end I was just having Raine heal and three guys attack on frontlines and most things just sorta feel apart, including bosses.

-I would not say it was exactly too long, but the pacing kinda dragged by the end. There were like 3 bosses in the endgame that I thought would be the final boss, but then they just were not. This was definately my biggest gripe with the game.

-The whole relationship  system is not theat well balanced. I was aiming for Sheena though out the whole thing (I was roleplaying, ok? I thought Lloyd was 15 till I checked the wiki), but instead I got the totally heterosexual journey with Regal ending.

-The villain was stupid as shit.

-The plot was overly confusing for no real reason. By the end I was just sort of going along with it. 

Misc

-Sheena and Raine are real fine and all, but the graphical style really makes all of the fanservice very ineffective.

-Suprisingly I did not dislike Colette by the end and I even kinda liked Presea. Never liked Zelos though.

-The “racisim is bad” message was nice and all, but I feel it comes off as a bit phony when the entire cast does not have even one coloured person. reality subtext and all. C+ for effort.

Overall
