Me: Okay but to be fair Yune and the rock are perfect! The rock is yandere af for Yune and I love it!!!

Blue: Everytime you say the rock I think of the actor

Me: New crack ship

You know one of my favorite things about this novel?

Is that Cale (Well, Kim Rok Soo) actually acts his age (36)

I personally haven't read many Isekais aimed at male audiences, so I can't speak for those

I have, however read quite a bit of Otome Isekais

And one of the things that annoys me the most about the genre, is when the protagonist, usually an adult woman, gets reincarnated into a baby, a child or a teenager and you sometimes forget their actual age because some of the things they do, some of the decisions they make are /baffling/ when you remember they're a grown ass adult

But with Cale is quite the opposite, people around him are often left scratching their heads at some of his actions and level of maturity ("Aren't you supposed to be 18-20?")

Hell, one time he told Raon that he is "30 years older than him" only to remember mid-phrase that nope, he's actually supposed to be only 15 years older

-Spoilers for P1-

And it's also very funny when Alberu finds out that Cale is, in fact actually older than him, his reaction is pure gold because he's supposed to be the hyung around here you know?

Otome game AU except OG! Cale becomes self-aware Monika style and learns how to hack his world.

Cale notes that he's the game's favorite punching bag, as every ending ends up with him dead or exiled or some shit.

He pushed down the ache he felt but oh well.

"Huh, so that's why that girl is so weird, she's an otome protagonist."

Cale breaks free from his script and decides to do whatever he wants, this causes the AI around him to freak out and glitch. Cale sees that every day is monotonous and everyone has shallow personalities. He is sort of losing his mind.

One day, Roksu finds the game for cheap and decides to play it.

Cale immediately notices his presence and desperate to talk to someone actually sentient like him, accidentally changes the whole story and causes the game to glitch out.

He looks past the player vessel's plain exterior, she's nothing to him, and notes the reddish-brown appearance of her eyes which were previously dark brown.

Cale replaces the mls in most major cutscenes and quickly becomes Roksu's favorite. Whenever the game tries to force his interaction with a ml, he just turns back to Cale.

Cale starts to develop feelings for Roksu.

Roksu is conflicted about how attached he is to Cale.

The next time Roksu logs out, Cale updates the game and puts his whole video game life story in the update logs for Roksu to read.

might expand on this later.

Man, I wonder how it'll feel like for an aro/ace person to suddenly be thrown into an otome game, or one of those romance fantasy isekais. Like damn, that'll be all levels of awkward and horrifying, but I want to see one where they just nail all the platonic routes. Why can't people simply exist as good friends regardless of gender? ╮(￣～￣)╭

This thought was inspired by seeing so many fics of Otome AU feat. Cale from TCF. Now don't get me wrong, I love them, but I can't see him having a special relationship with someone, not when there's such major found family platonic vibes.

Also, that guy's denial and inability to comprehend people liking him that way is possibly bigger than his workaholic tendencies, not to mention he doesn't seem like the type to ever give romance a second thought. Guy's already a single mom to... How many kids?

I must say tho, other than the romance aspect, Cake really seems to fit the Otome protagonist to a T (plus minus the tragic backstory and traumatic *waves* everything), just going around fixing all the problems, attracting 'flies' everywhere and causing misunderstandings. Atp I don't even know what I'm saying anym. Anyways I think I also just described like half the Korean novels out there, or maybe I just have a specific type.

Tldr; Cale is aro/ace (tbh the novel barely even touches on romance, which I am quite happy about), he deserves all the love in the multiverse, and we stan his one-sided pining of slacker life-chan

it’s so funny to me the way high-concept yuri that runs for like, any longer than a one-shot runs face-first into a tangled web of hard choices as they try to navigate their way into accidentally having a plot.

some of them give up just, Immediately and within three chapters the story about being bullied by a cool delinquent has become indistinguishable from any off-the-shelf romance fluff. some of them shoot off in a different direction entirely, all but abandoning the original premise in favor of an adjacent one with longer legs. all too often, of course, we get wrapped up in the banal lives of the less compelling side characters.

imo, the mark of a truly good gimmick yuri is how many angles on the premise it can play before it gets bored or distracted. what happens after that almost doesn’t matter— I can’t be mad after I’ve gotten a good three volumes of what I was promised, after all. But if you ask me, you really gotta give the audience what they came for before then.

im just saying that just putting "cishet" in front of your misogyny does not make it Not misogyny

there's an otome game releasing in 2023 and I didn't have high hopes for it until I found out that the writer is uta amamiya (psychedelia of the black butterfly) and it's being drawn by teita (norn9)

Do you have any recs for angsty, toxic, morally dubious trashman-y romances? Can be anything (manhwa, book, games, fics) I just know we have similar taste and don't mind taboo topics 😭 its just too hard finding good unhinged ML's nowadays

off the top of my head, and only counting stuff i'm pretty sure is still accessible

black wolves saga | mejojo you will pay for your crimes one day, but like also nearly everyone is trash to the point the incest bro is probably best boy lol

devil lady | can't think of a single healthy dynamic in this

bastian | incomplete and there's only a few chapters out but look, he's a rancid blond man in a uniform, what am i supposed say???

the pale horse | not really sure if i'd call this a romance, but it is toxic, morally dubious, and there is a putrid blond man

goodbye my princess | watch the director's cut on youtube (55 eps) the tv edit was trash (52 eps), but not as trash as li chengyin was lmao he's my poor little meow meow

nightshade | kuroyuki has literally never been normal and is a feral gremlin

ozmafia | okay hear me out now -- robin hood and especially dorian gret/brothel route are particularly unhinged
