Review: Monster Musume Vol. 1

Monster Musume Vol. 1 Monster Musume Vol. 1 by OKAYADO
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Banner

The synopsis seemed intriguing... I thought that since I enjoyed Sunstone which is literal lesbian bdsm that I wouldn't mind this manga... I was wrong...

I have three problems with this book: The story is shit, the characters are shit, and the nudity is way too obnoxious. Obviously this is just judging by the first volume so who knows, I'm *sure* these all miraculously improve in later volumes, but damn if I'm going to bother wasting my time to find that out.

I had heard of this series for a long time, but wrote it off as another stupid basic harem anime. (Well, I was right.) Then a couple weeks ago I came across a brief synopsis, that reeealllly piqued my interest: Monster Girl exchange program, all the girls tryna smash but if the main character smashes he'll go to jail, hilarity ensues. I dunno, something about that got me really interested in finally checking this out. Maybe there would be a way to properly execute that plot, but I don't think that is what this series does.

It's literally boring. It wasn't interesting. The girls are all so... Cliché in their devotion to the main character. They literally see him and for no real logical reason all of a sudden become DEVOTED to him. It's an annoying stupid fantasy that boys WISH would come true, but actually seeing it happen just looks extremely moronic.

I thought the nudity wouldn't bother me, but GOD DAMN is there a metric fuckton of nudity. I read a bunch of other reviews before reading this and I didn't believe anyone when they talked about the nudity. I should have. It's not like normal nudity that has a purpose, these irrational girls will literally just randomly lift up their shirts or just completely strip naked ALL THE TIME. Like every PAGE. Every minute was just like "Damn, another titty. Oh, another one. Another one. Holy shit calm down-- Another one!!! What the fuck??"

Has the author never heard of the great idea where you don't over saturate the frick out of a good thing, because otherwise you'll just desensitizes the audience to said good thing?? It literally just got so obnoxious. Also I really don't like how the author draws boobs and nipples in particular. The nipples look weirdly plastic and then the boobs were just shaped weird. Other than that the art was decent.

I literally don't know what's to like about this? Someone enlighten me? Is it really that great to try to pretend you're the protagonist?


Didn'tSmash/10 would not recommend.

Review: The Show Must Go On

The Show Must Go On by Kate Karyus Quinn My rating: 4 of 5 stars Because lucky me, even though I am 100 percent talking out of my ass, it turns out my ass is a secret genius. Wow. The Show Must Go On was surprisingly great. And by “great” I mean that this is very likely the best romance I’ve ever experienced (including books, movies, tv, etc.). It was also filled to the brim with funny lines like the one above, so for the first time in my life I found myself constantly laughing-out-loud while reading a book. But… then the ending happened… and it left me feeling insanely disappointed, which is what knocked a whole star off of my rating. Will actually walks over to [the bookshelf], like he's unable to resist the siren call of literature. Obviously, despite losing the glasses, his nerd instincts are still strong. First and foremost, since it doesn’t look like there are any reviews by people who have ever read Quinn before, I just want to st...

Review: Scarlet

Scarlet by Marissa Meyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars Scarlet Benoit by Lizgigler on DeviantArt Wooooo yeeaaahhhhh Scaarlett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was loads better than Cinder. Mostly because of Scarlet and Wolf, heheheh. Cinder’s POVs were always just like whatever, but when it went back to Scarlet that’s when the party started. It was also great because Scarlet’s POVs were loongg and Cinder’s were shoort. No beef against Cinder as a character, she know she my homegirl, but her POV is just not the most interesting all the time. I had really low hopes going into this book two of the Lunar Chronicles, mostly because of the fiasco that was Cinder. Okay I’m being way too hard on Cinder. I liked it. It was good… you know just a basic three star book. BUT SCARLET ON THE OTHER HAND. MMMH. Wonderful. Scarlet was tons of fun. This book had way better twists and turns and was overall just more enjoyable than Cinder. I don’t think I necessarily liked Scarl...

Review: Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War

Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War by Linda F. McGreevy My rating: 0 of 5 stars This is a very unique and interesting academic text. There are no other examinations of the German artist Otto Dix, his war experience, and his war-related art that are quite as in-depth as this one, while also covering a wide range of different aspects and angles of not only the artist's story, but also the Great War's. I used this as a source for a University research essay I wrote on the effects of Dix's war experience on the creation and effects of his painting Skat Players (1920). I was very late in starting my research so I unfortunately had to stick to only reading the information I could use for my own examination, rather than being able to devour this book in its entirety. However, the library requires this book be returned at the end of January of next year, so I have some time now to actually finish this book since the semester has finished...
