Well, this is pretty shit. I'll give it a couple more chapters.

That was needlessly confusing.

https://i.postimg.cc/VLwhphzT/i.jpg I'd do it for his mum too.

Sigh. When a title is all over the internet from, Best of... to, Manga/Mahwa Like... but someone still wants credit for it getting added to the site.
Oh well, it's better to read here than on some dodgy manhwa website with pop-ups.

And it's even, AsuraScans, ffs, so hardly obscure.

A new wall. Nice.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but is it that you also use a persona to go about your career, but can be yourself when you're at home - either around your family or alone?
If this is the case, it's clear what's causing all your troubles during working hours.

I've known a lot of people who "change" when around certain groups of people; it's all a ploy to "fit in", to satisfy some asinine need to be accepted.
This kind of behaviour always causes problems.

Yeah, I just couldn't get into this. Dropped a little bit into the 2nd chapter.

Hmm, pretty shonen, not so impressive. Let's see how it pans out.

Yeah, I just finished it. The rushed ending was really disappointing... but at least we got one.

3/5
At least the author wrapped it up before axe-kun descended.

As I wrote at some point during the story: this is the most original and compelling coming-of-age story I've ever read - and I usually hate coming-of-age stories!
This one is definitely fitting of its psychological tag, and isn't just sex and weirdness for the sake of being edgy.
Unfortunately, Japanese readers couldn't appreciate the depth and brilliance this title had to offer, so it was quickly moved to online only, where its prompt, bitter end was inevitable. As such, the ending is rushed, vague, dissatisfying and, ultimately, left this impossible to rate any higher.
A real shame too, because I'd have happily read 100 chapters of teasing, confusion and slow-boiling, for this to leave the lasting impression it hinted at being capable of.

I was letting it stack... but I just noticed it's finished, so I'm back.
Anyway, I can guess the way things are going, but not yet which girl he'll end up with.

I liked this, by the same author: https://mangakatana.com/manga/konya-wa-tsuki-ga-kirei-desu-ga-toriaezu-shi-ne.16102 so I'll bookmark this for a later date.

I see your point... but it does feel like a lot of these people do it to themselves.
Is (anti-)social media partly to blame? Celebrity idealisation? Commercialism? Fake personas out on by too many people trying desperately to be the ideal twat they want to be? All of the above?
If we could travel back in time, would this phenomenon exis?
Is this a natural progression to depression brought on by the soulless society we live in?

So many people calling this trash and dropping it, but the only problem is the slow updates.

A few things:
1) MC didn't train for 100 years - he trained for 6 months and got several of his combat skills up to Apex level.
2) MC was subdued by his friend, whom he trusted. He who strikes first is often the victor - that's how powerful a surprise attack can be.
3) Having Apex tier combat skills doesn't prevent a sneak attack from a trusted ally.
4) MC doesn't need to fight a villain of the week to make this a good comic. Actually, action-overload ruins actual plotting for stories.
5) No-one's mentioned MC not using his guard/defence/shield skill to stop the surprise attack... probably because that would cause their thought processes to realise the power of the surprise attack.
6) This plot has been building up for as long as he's been in this new city, but now that the action part of it is coming along, readers are bitching about no plot and a lack of action.

I just reread the past few chapters to find where I was up to because this website keeps removing my reading progress (read chapters turn red but, when I let things stack, they turn blue again and I keep losing where I was up to!).
Anyway, my point is that, aside from the sucky upload times, I still stand by my above comment.

Yeah, I can't recall seeing any fountains like that either.

2.5/5
It's pretty generic but will hold your attention, however, I lowered the rating by .5 because of some paedo vibes.

So, what's it actually about?
When the MC is let go by his team because they're moving on to a tier too high for them to babysit him, there are no hard feelings. MC is given a small county to rule over in a fantasy Japan and, being a fantasy European, there should be plenty of fish--out-of-water jokes or problems, but the author chooses to ignore them, cranking any humour and tension down in the process.
Instead, we get a kind of, The Sims: the Unofficial Manga, in which the MC - who had previously decided there was no point in starting over, using his training skills to raise a new adventure party - instead raises the skills of people in his domain... so that they can then become an adventure party!

Yeah, this one has lame moments like that throughout, but it's harmless for the most part and somehow managed to keep me engaged... despite the MC acting like a colossal virgin when just about every female in the story wants him to jump her bones!

So, if bland stories starring asexual, slightly insecure but completely goal-focused MCs are your thing: go for it.
For the rest of us, this is always one excuse away from getting dropped and pretty frustrating in the romance - or plain fucking - department.

I've read all 58 chapters uploaded to this site as I type this (31/05/25), but I can't see a reason to keep it bookmarked, so I'll drop it for now... and maybe... maybe, read it some more in the future, should I happen across it and it's completed?

1/5
Dropped after 11 chapters.

A sad, manic depressive randomly meets a "VTuber" who's run away from home; rather than leave her on the streets to be hassled by men, he agrees to let her stay at his place... but she's an under-age school child and this is supposed to be a romance.
Yes, all the ingredients to make something pretty fucked up.

I tried to stick with it to find out why she ran away - there wasn't any romance between them, at that point - but an encounter with the girl's dad and him not seeming to care about her living with an almost 30 year old fucking dude was a blow to my sanity.

I don't know who this shit's aimed at, but it's not responsible, paedo-hating adults, parents, fans of psychological dramas or even romance readers!
I'm sure there are sick nonces out there wanking off over the idea of the teenage girl getting her anus pounded while she cries out, "Fuck me harder, Daddy!", because they've watched too much XHamster and don't interact in real life with real people, and, unless you're one if them (in which case, I hope you buy yourself a rope and find a tree to swing from), you probably won't be able to suffer this either.

Yeah, that dad's reaction is enough cause for me to drop this - it's not good anyway, but the whole under-age thing disturbs me.
