| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- So I just read the free preview of this thing on j-novel club. This is one seriously broken world. In so many ways. An all powerful but yet extremely petty author writing about 70 year old guys in romances with 10 year old adopted sisters? And this being seen as not just the pinnacle of literature but the only thing that literature could possibly include? Yeah. Funny as a result but I get the feeling I'd get sick of the series before long... The author's vision of the world in general is rather more interesting than that of the characters etc. A 2D prime minister? Leaving aside the whole imouto faction thing that could be quite an interesting concept. I like the bit about the train travelling so fast that Fuji only appears for an instant. Although that's utterly impractical and probably always will be. And as for the language stuff... |

Leaving aside the whole imouto faction thing that could be quite an interesting concept. I do agree that the most interesting about this work is the world-building instead of the characters, I felt a bit cringey reading it in the subway even though most French people can't read English at the level it would take to decipher the cringe. As an author, I went into the work wanting to know what is literary value, and the orthodox mindset is something we tend to not have in France or in neoliberalism, instead praising creativity and innovation as sources of pleasure. But it's true works function with genres and take shapes to produce satisfaction or to be bought, at the very least. Economical sustainability will always produce some kind of orthodox mindset, along with conventions in any social circle. As for the 2D prime minister, I thought of VTubers. I guess the resonance will surprise readers of our days. There was an anime with an idol as president, though. I'm thinking the Imouto faction divide between step-sisters and blood-related sisters can be interpreted (though it's a stretch) in terms of a society that valorizes blood links (blood rights, hereditarity, like monarchy, or nationalism) or one that prefers the value of individuals and freedoms (globalism works on that I guess, and Japan has a liberal party that governed it since 1945). |
