Iāve been tearing through the isekai genre lately if you all havenāt noticed, and Lucia kept popping up on my radar while I kept avoiding it. Iām notorious for failing to read the official summaries before reading the available text itself, and that means I sometimes judge a series by their cover (though, more often, I do so by their title). I know the old … Continue reading Lucia:Ā Why I Hesitated
If you are even remotely a fan or have read/watched any of Mairimashita! Iruma-kun, you can probably guess that this is the story of how Iruma, the main character, eventually becomes the Demon King. And he will, eventually, do so. Just like how Luffy and crew will, eventually, get the One Piece.Ā I theorize that his adoptive grandfather knows Iruma-kun is Demon King material despite … Continue reading Mairimashita! Iruma-kun: Enjoying the Journey

(Me, on the left – my friend, @arielchiaroscuro on the right)Ā Last night, I attended a 9:45 PM showing of Disneyās Frozen II. The splurged on the special popcorn bowl, cup, and mini snow globeāI dressed up, and I made my friend take pictures with me in front of the giant display outside the theaterās entrance (the picture above is where I am, perhaps, the … Continue reading Frozen II – ReviewĀ (SPOILER WARNING)
In Chapter 41, the old bookstore owner tells Athanasia that sheās cursed. This is before she has the ribbon that Jennette gives her, which is being purchased earlier in the same chapter. The old man maybe an unreliable source, but Iām going to assume heās right in this instance until proven otherwise. My theory is that her curse is something carried over from what I … Continue reading Theory: Athanasiaās Curse
So I binge-read A Returnerās Magic Should Be Special recently, and something hit me as the Fall of the Holy Empire shadow-world Arc endedāisnāt Desir living a Shadow World of his own life? See, the Shadow World, as Iāve come to understand it, is kind of a mix that reflects the world of the characters. It can be either the past of their world, where the … Continue reading Theory: A Returnerās Magic Should Be Special – Shadow World Inception

Recently, Iāve been seeing a lot of comments and reblogs on posts withĀ āspoilersā from the novels of popular novel-turned-mangas/comics/animes and I wanted to comment on this growing trend. I didnāt think it needed to be said before, but as a reminder: Each version of the story (novel, manga, and/or anime) becomes its own story. I have, as Iām sure all of us have at some … Continue reading āI read the novel and…ā Are These Real Spoilers? Maybe not
This is a topic Iām revisiting after my first theory about the royal familyās magic was shown to be dismally wrong (I said that it might be light andĀ black magic in my post,Ā The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir). But what is their magic?Ā Well, letās review what we know so far:Ā 1. Strong magicians are said to āfreezeā their hearts because emotions can cause them … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family and Magic
I remember finding Daughter of the Emperor about a year ago and reading late into the night to catch up on the 80+ (maybe even 100+ at that point) chapters that were already out. I loved it then–but now its been a year and Iām growing impatient. Letās jump into why: The story begins much like other reincarnated-as-a-princess stories of the isekai genre–in childhood. Daughter … Continue reading Taking Too Long: A Review and Critique of Daughter of the Emperor
