TBH, not what I'm reading for.

Used to think I wanted that in my stories, but realized overly smuty series just detract from good story telling.

Better to keep my escapism and porn seperate.

Holy fucking shit, boys the ship has sailed!!!

I mean, for one, he wants to be there for tia, but secondly, the empress is his real mortal enemy.

The one who was poisoning him when tia first met him. Of course he would take any opportunity to knock her down a peg and put her in her place.

I meant tia, in that she has not realized perez's feelings for her.

I know perez knows the engagement is fake, but also, he doesn't wan't it to be fake.

The only wierd thing I find with this story, obviously the author is hard shipping tia and perez, more over feels like the direction of the story is going to be much like with tia before her regression with perez becoming the crown prince/future king.

How is tia supposed to be the matriarch and the queen at the same time?

Nice, glad to see that the first prince realized the need to distance himself from his mother. Been kind of nice watching him treat her the way he has considering how much of a bitch she is.

I never even "started" baruto in truth.

Couldn't get over him being a whiney bitchass in the first 10 chapters and then ultimately the insinuation that he was going to cheat in the chunin exam (did he? I am assuming he did)

Couple that with what bits I have seen from clips of the anime and the fact that a show about "boruto" seems to feature sasuke and naruto very heavily still.

IMO there were plenty of stories to tell in the ninja world especially since everybody still had blood feuds/only came together and united to fight madara at the end of the original manga.

That said, those other stories would have been better told in a far off village with fresh characters featuring OCCASIONAL cameos from the OG's as a nod to the original fans but not enough to overtake or interfere with those new characters story.

By centering the story directly on naruto's son, really knee capped themselves in that department IMO.

That is to say between boruto being initially irredeemably unlikable and the setting being a total miss for me, I checked out around the first 10 chapters of the original boruto manga.

Is this a canonical continuation of boruto?

Why is this series still ongoing if so? and really memory loss as a plot device/trope... yeesh.

Do tell, I don't mind spoilers.

There is one slightly painful misunderstanding going on atm though.

The "fake" "temporary" engagement that tia and perez have.

Mainly on tia's side. We all know perez is serious about it... but tia doesnt... poor perez...

Well... since you mentioned it. It was vaguely implied that her kid wasn't even one of the dragon blood because she got her Lannister on...

Amendment:

If teacher is family's killer AND mastermind, this will be a short series and the girl will likely regain her voice after the murderer of her family is brought to justice.

I might be slightly off.

But I have a strong feeling that I am close to the mark.

This isn't due to prediction in the sense of foresight however.

I read a lot... and I mean A METRIC TON of manga, manhua, and manhwa, in addition to used to read a ton of WN/LN (been meaning to get back to that just haven't lately) and of course watch anime.

It is of my opinion that there really isn't many "unique" stories, as in every story has been told, every trope has been played out ad nauseum. What makes one story good/bad is how well you tell that story...

A good example would be demon slayer, there are tons of anime about monster/demon/spirt slaying/fighting squads of supernatural power users, of course the anime is beautiful and among the highest quality of series, but its base story isn't anything special if you melt it down to its summary and tropes. However how the characters interact, their unique motivations and back grounds. How tanjiro shows compassion for the demons without going down the softhearted shonen MC path of being merciful, where he still finishes them off but comforts them in their final hour.

Anyways I have made predictions that are way off the mark in the past too mind you.

But given the context of the story, with the detective prying into the girls past, her reaction to the teacher, the fact that we know she is being targeted among other things.

The only twist I foresee possibly, is, that perhaps some one else is targeting her but teacher is her families murderer who has sent him to the school to try and "take care" of her. I say that only because, if teacher was the master mind, would cut the series short (and many manga have a tendency to try and milk a series for as long as they can...)

So her family was murdered giving her a trauma that caused her to stop speaking, likely she was told to stay quite to keep safe from her families murderer, she likely witnessed the whole thing and that teacher is the man who did it.

Likely the person who has been targeting her the whole time.

This is my prediction. The "parents" are either relatives who raised her in lieu of, or adoptive.

I don't like the flags salvos is setting at the end of this chapter...

Pretty sure, the healer.

She's 18 -.- she is the one who force the inspector into the relationship and also shut the fuck up and actually listen to at least one of the involved parties ffs.

I kind of get why they did that, since its hard to "soft reset" the warrior of light.

Not sure why we couldn't have just gone to the "new world" solo, as a "no body" "unknown" and build up our "renown" a new and gradually bring back O.G. characters from the "old world"

Would have been a better way to handle it IMO. Not sure how the tone is exactly, but with estinien, ghraha and gang still hanging around the WoL and
fan boi'n" imagine its hard to divorce "our" character from past achievements which from what I understand 7.0 was meant to be a nice jump on point for those new to the game, given the daunting TEN FUCKING YEAR story that 1.0-6.0 encompassed.

Was really interested in the new class since I imagine it was going to finally eat ninja's lunch (share gear since ninja was the only class that had left side gear all to itself) especially since I have been at odds with ninja since they introduced "Ten-Chi-Jin" (or w/e the one was called in Storm Blood)

In SB it took all your ninki meter in addition to having like a 2? min cool down, which IN OF ITSELF is fine, but the whole FORCING YOU TO BE STATIONARY got me hit so fucking much trying to use that damn ability or forced me to cancel thus wasting ninki/cool down. Killed the vibe and play style, ninja's whole thing was mobile half caster melee/utility (trick attack) didn't want to cosplay BLM every 2 god damn min.

Think in ShB they took away the ninki cost and lowered the CD but still would plant you in place to use it. EW they added a bunch of new shit to ninja (like 2-3 things/modifications to things from before) but really just felt chaotic at that point, couldn't really nail down how the rotation was meant to play out TBH, just left me fustrated and ultimately killed my will to keep playing after beating 6.0

While I was satisfied with the overall 6.0 ending (feel free to spoil me what 6.1+ added) I felt disappointed with the ultima thule fake outs. Considering how fast the scions were dropping to build the bridge, it was obvious that this wasn't gonna stick, which kinda ruined the impact of that part of the story for me IMO.

To a degree EW felt like it should have been 2 expansions almost... or IDK the "unraveling of the fabric of reality" story just kind of... IDK felt out of nowhere, like tsukiyomi-hime arc after nartuto/sasuke defeated madara. Not even sure how I feel about the fact that we time traveled AGAIN in EW too. Though... I think technically we weren't supposed to interact with the past that time but some how emet-selch / his friend (name excapes me atm) sensed us?

ANYWAYS, my favorite expansion will probably always be ShB, managed to convey so much hopelessness and defeat for most of the first half of the story, along side of so much triumph and hope as you gradually save their dying world.

Perez about to throw hands, can't wait for the proper "receptacle" to catch em.
