𓀐 @_W_Bz+c+: I notice that I can't take certain works seriously, particularly those where the "Hand of the Author" is moving the pieces around too obviously, without bothering to "cover them with the curtains first" so to speak. I notice that with Chinese works, this is usually in the way the author openly allows all the patterns to show, making no effort to hide that this is the fifth "young master shows up, causes trouble for MC, and gets face slapped" loop of filler. Whereas in Japanese works, it's more…+

𓀐 @+3EBjP84: I tried reading Clara Casewell finally and it had the biggest red flag for knowing when a story is going to be shit: the character interactions for a dramatic event weren't realistic in the first few chapters Girl tries to kill herself and the head maid is like "ok cool get cleaned up". the villainess, her best friend, addresses it a bit more, but also in a super weird way as if the author knows it needs to be addressed but also wants to brush it aside had high hopes based on the rating but nah…+ 1

𓀐 @Fw4avNE8: Literally explained in text lol In the short term the original maid gave the villainess the poison they're on trial for. So the head maid who is loyal to the villainess's family is pissed off about that and sees original maid trying to kill herself as a cowardly way for her to run from responsibility for the shit she pulled. It's also shown later that the maid who tried to kill herself was a cooky religious lunatic that almost nobody in the house liked.+

𓀐 @GHWbxooz: Hi /wng/! I'm looking for recommendations for, or at least directions towards, magical girl stories. There don't really seem to be -that- many posted to royalroad. Are there any other websites you'd recommend checking out?+

𓀐 @szcDJ6o*: >Most magical girl stories are incorrectly tagged on RR I regret to inform you that "magical girl" as a genre just means girl with magic powers and is applied to everything from sentai adjacent works to horror to slice of life to military/police dramas to bog standard fantasy about bog standard witches. You could call the next fucking Witcher game mahou shoujo and you wouldn't be wrong.+

𓀐 @LDqhzsSE: How did Super Supportive explode as much as it did? I'm currently reading it and it starts really slow, prioritizing characterization instead of plot and the protagonist constantly getting wins and overcoming obstacles. Is it just because it's so well written that it can afford to ignore all the RR posting meta and still blow up like that?+ 1
