Regular Updates Will Resume

I’m sorry for the delay. Real life is less busy now and I hope to publish chapters weekly.

I’m very fortunate to have found someone who has volunteered to help me with this project. Yay! Lianyin will be translating some chapters for us.

Eight Million Gods by Wen Spencer

One of the more relatable and entertaining books I have read is “Eight Million Gods” by Wen Spencer.

My Summary:

Nikki, an American currently living in Japan, was writing a book. One ordinary day when she was having lunch with her best friend to talk about how a character had died, she was arrested by the policeman sitting on the next table.

Why?

Because the details of the murder in her book-in-progress matched the details of a real-life murder.

What follows next is a supernatural mystery involving kami (Japanese gods/spirits) and youkai (preternatural creatures from Japanese folklore).

---

I like it a lot and I feel that the male lead is yummy. 😉 The main character is also very likable most of the time.

It’s not the best thing ever written so don’t expect a genius-level story but I think it’s a fun book.

Why Are You Doing This, Duke?

Only 4 English language chapters have been released but I’m already hooked on the Korean webcomic “Why Are You Doing This, Duke?”

Summary: An unloved orphan girl gets into big trouble when her family abandons her to be captured by enemies. The duke, known as “The Grim Reaper,” has her in his clutches but, suddenly, a strange spell activate. Now the duke is madly in love with her! … Or is he? It would be great if it was true love, but this is all thanks to a mysterious magic spell. And the magic spell’s power’s been weakening to boot–! This is the story of a marriage with a bipolar(?) husband where the main character’s life is at stake.

My thoughts: The art is pretty nice and I love how the female MC has such big, fluffy hair. 🙂 The duke is pretty handsome, plus he has that “I’m a dangerous (possibly yandere) lover” vibe that I really like.

The story has been moving along very nicely. I’m frankly on tenterhooks waiting for the each chapter to see what will happen next!

The English scanlation is by Haruparty. You can read the chapters on their website:

Suddenly Became a Princess One Day

I posted earlier about reading trashy webcomics like Daughter of the Emperor and some people reccommended a similar webcomic: Suddenly Became a Princess One Day aka Who Made Me a Princess.

What? There’s another webcomic with almost the exact same premise? Is there a genre of comics/novels like this??? This is crazy!

Summary: When she was just a baby Athanasia already had the mind of an adult since she mysteriously remembered her past life in Korea. She realized that she had been reborn into the world of the novel “The Lovely Princess.” The problem? The princess Athanasia character in the novel was killed by her own father! Will she go with Plan A, live as quietly as possible without being noticed by the infamous emperor? Or Plan B, collect enough money to escape the palace? Or will she be stuck with plan C, sweet-talking her way into her father’s good graces?!

The webcomic has awesome art! I love the clothes! One thing I noticed is that the artists likes to draw abs… and I like to look at them. 😀

I thought that the story would be slice of life like in Daughter of the Emperor but it’s not. There’s actually a plot and a decent amount of action. The pace of the story is also pretty good.

I like it a lot! Have you read it? What do you think of this webcomic?

Special note: It’s best to pay for the official version if you can but there is also an unofficial version at Batoto and a fan has translated the entire season one, hosted on google drive.

Thanks for reading.

P.S. “Suddenly Became a Princess One Day” and “Daughter of the Emperor” are very similar to each other but I prefer “Daughter of the Emperor” because the father there is super yummylicious. To me, when it comes to shoujo, the male lead is 10,000x more important than the female main character.

I like the daughter in “Suddenly Became a Princess One Day” more and I feel like the plot is better but… sorry, Caitel from “Daughter of the Emperor” gives me that funny feeling in my chest. Yeah, okay, I’m asthmatic so I get that a lot, but you know what I mean, right?

Having said that, I must say that I like how Claude, the father in “Suddenly Became a Princess One Day” likes to walk around with his abs showing all the time. Talk about fanservice!

~ I wanna talk about some spoilers I read, too, but I feel like this isn’t the place. Maybe later when season 2 is finished?

Thanks again for reading all of this. 🙂

Funny Otome Manga

I bet you’ve never heard of this manga before! I recently discovered it and found it quite fun so I thought of sharing it here.

I am the daughter with a villainous role, so I tried keeping the Last Boss as a pet

Summary:

The usual stuff – after realizing that she’s the villainous rival character in an otome game that she played in her last life, the main character realizes that she’s on her way to a bad end.

Wanting avoid the bad endings, she decided to conquer the final BOSS of the game… by keeping him as a pet.

I like the characters and plot of this manga so far. The art is good, too. The male lead (the last BOSS) is pretty funny as well as his “minions.” I hope there’s a punishment for the fiancé who cast the main character aside.

All in all, I really look forward to reading more of it.

Thanks for reading.

Release Schedule

There isn’t a regular release schedule currently. I normally release one chapter per week or 4 chapters per month. It’s normally every Friday or Saturday but sometimes it gets delayed.

Sorry for the irregular updates. This February I did release 4 chapters, including this one, so I did meet my goal. It’s just that I didn’t release them on a regular schedule.

I know people prefer to know the exact day when chapters will be released. I’ll do my best to release a chapter every Friday.

The other BC Novels projects have more people working on them. Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me is mostly just me and my checker which is why the release isn’t super fast. However, I do think the release rate is pretty decent.

Please be patient, everyone!

Thanks for reading.

Immortals Down Under

Here’s another manhua recommendation! This time it’s BL.

Immortals Down Under summary:

Why do the lords of the underworld get to slack off in the mortal world? Why is one person’s name not recorded in the book that records all mortal’s time of death? The underworld lord tasked with finding the prince discovered that things are spiraling out of hand.

The official English translation can be read at Webcomicsapp here – Immortals Down Under.

Reika’s comments:

Ha! The plot is basically just an excuse to have a whole bunch of ikemen flirting with each other and getting into outrageous compromising situations!

I just read it for the eye candy. *smirks* The art is pretty amazing, with dark colors contrasting with the soft, pastel colors and watercolor-like shading. Most characters are dressed in beautiful fantasy robes, with intricate accessories and lovely hairstyles.

I guess the plot is okay but I feel it’s a bit slow.

There are also so many characters that I sometimes have a lot of trouble remembering the minor characters are. The problem is that characters are introduced to the reader in just a few panels then the reader is expected to remember who they are five chapters later when they haven’t appeared again in the meantime.

P.S. This manhua is rated G (suitable for all ages).

Thanks for reading.

Mei Yin Valley

I think I’ve already mentioned that “Mei Yin Valley” means “charming sound valley.”

“Charming” in this case means using a charm or casting an enchantment. So one can assume that their skills include bewitching and/or tempting people.

(づ￣ ³￣)づ

That’s a classic skill for Demonic Path cultivators. Generally speaking, Righteous Path cultivators would consider such skills to be unorthodox and would not generally use that type of technique.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy this chapter. I’ve been super busy these days but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can publish one chapter of “Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me” every week.

Kubera Webtoon

I’ve recommended this webtoon before when it was on hiatus. Now I’m recommending it again now that Season 3 is in full swing.

Read the official English Kubera webtoon at here. It’s all free, by the way.

Set in a world full of magic, Kubera is an epic tale of mortals, gods, and beings that are more powerful than gods.

The story is quite multilayered. I recommend this for fans of epic, high fantasy. I don’t think it’s the best thing ever written but it’s free and the story is very interesting.

The characters are a mixed bag of delightfully fun, tragically flawed, darkly ruthless, extremely mercenary, etc. since there are tons of different types of people who play important roles in the story.

Just a bit of trivia: the names of the gods seem to be inspired by Indian mythology, including the name of the titular character. Kubera is the god of wealth and king of the semi-divine Yakshas in Hindu mythology.

The webtoon’s not perfect and I wish it was faster-paced but I would give it a solid 8 out of 10 rating.

Summary:

A young girl from a small town, Kubera starts her journey when she finds everything she loves has been killed by suras – powerful beings from another world.

Thanks for reading.

‘How I Found It in July’ aka ‘July Found by Chance’

I’ve fallen in love with this webcomic! Sadly, there are not many chapters released yet but I really love the main character and story.

Summary:

What would you do if you found out that you were, in fact, a character in a comic? And an extra character on top of that? Change the course of the story, obviously!

You can read it online here.

It’s a simple story so far but I enjoy the way it’s unfolding. The art is great, too. The soft colors and clean lines are very romantic, giving it a misty, otherworldly atmosphere. 😀

I only hope that it will have a happy ending for all of the characters that I already love. I don’t mind if the characters I don’t like have a tragic ending…

Thanks for reading.
