I just got Ruka and trains.

Ruka likes trains and her personality is like a train. She barrels along at full speed, unable to deviate from the course set before her.

[REC] Any harem romance recs?

Does anyone have any recommendations like "Did You Think You Could Live Normally Even in a World With a 1:5 Male-to-Female Ratio?: When Deeply Intense Feelings of the Girls are Toyed With by an Oblivious Boy" or "’m a Kept Man for the Three Most Beautiful Girls in School" or "When the Introverted Me Got Surrounded by S-Tier Beauties After a Seat Change, a Secret Relationship Began"?

Basically looking for harem romance where plots and relationships progress, lewd things happen, and hopefully ends in an actual harem and the girls are actual friends working together.

Names

Names and honorifics are usually lost in localization. I know there has been a lot written about how Kazuya and Chizuru refer to each other. But how do they refer to Mami, Ruka, Summi, and Mini? Family or given name? Which homorific do they use?

Anyone else reading "Life Reversal ~ I Was Cheated On and Falsely Accused, but Now the Most Beautiful Girl in the School Is Getting Close to Me ~"?

I've just started reading the second volume and I have to say I feel sorry for everyone except Kondo. Miyuki's life has just been destroyed.

Eiji didn't deserve what happened to him of course, but everything is looking up for him while everyone else is being harmed.

I don't know what to think. I don't generally like revenge or fall from grace stories so I just feel sad at all the shit that is happening.

What do you think?

Volume 1 of The Protagonist’s Childhood Friend Is Coming on Strong to Me, a Mob | Shujinkou no Osananajimi ga, Wakiyaku no Ore ni Guigui Kuru

I just finished volume 1. I thought the premise was interesting and liked how dark and realistic the beginning was. I would actually have liked to spend more time in the first timeline to see the bond between Kuzu and Yuzu before she dies.

I feel like we didn't really get to know the main character very well. I just didn't know who he was at the end of the novel. It seemed to concentrate more on his actions than thoughts. In order to surprise the audience with his plans, we weren't let into the character's thoughts or emotions.

Also the antagonists just felt cartoonishly evil. What they were willing to do was so over the top. I kept expecting there to be a twist where Yuzu or Hidaka was the mastermind. Also the girls punishment at the end was... lack luster. I'm not a big punishment person, and I felt sorry for the girls throughout the story, at the same time I think they should have to work a little to reintigrate into the class.

Hidaka's story was heartbreaking but I don't think we really had time to connect with her to feel the emotions.

She spoke in fragmented Japanese because she wasn't used to talking to people because she was ignored at home because she was an illegitimate child.

Overall I liked the premise and found if interesting, but it just feels really rushed. I would of preferred this part of the story being spread out over at least another book and to have really gotten to know the characters.

A pattern I've noticed in Romance novels.

In several romance series I've read, not giving names cause I don't want to spoil, once they main characters start dating of acknowledge their feelings, the male lead seems to become this perfect guy. He becomes cool, silent, dependable always able to solve the girl's problems. In other words boring.

Anyone else notice this? Do you have suggestions for romance novels that don't do this?

What nickname would you give each of the Quints?

Based on personality or what they wear or really anything about them. For example Itsuki could be Stars, Ichika could be Marilyn. Things like that.

Oh, Itsuki could be Sensei!

Would Chizuru even believe Ruka if Ruka told her about what she did?

If Ruka told Chizuru about assaulting Kazuya and jacking him off, would She even believe her? Ruka has cried wolf so many times that I'm having trouble thinking she would. Also I just realized that even though she dud kiss Kazuya, she never told Chizuru about it.

Does anyone know anything about You Fuguruma, author of Housekeeping Mage?

I'm reading volume 2 and with the detailed descriptions of the hardships and abuse immigrants face it makes me think they either lived through it themselves or know people that have, or did a bunch of research on it.

Does Housekeeping Mage use honorifics in the original Japanese?

I just got to the part in the story where Alec asks Shiori to call him by name without a title or anything. Thing is there has been no honorifics used in the story. Since it is a fantasy setting I thought that was a choice of the author's, now I'm thinking they were just dropped from the translation.

Maybe the time apart will help them?

I'm reading another manga, "My Fiance is so Mean" and in it a character says that the female lead spending the day away from the male lead may help strengthen their bond, like Orihime and Hikoboshi from the Tanabata festival.

After reading the latest chapter I think that is what is going on here, Chizuru would not be this excited if she was still living next to him or seeing him frequently.
