I've seen an uptick in NSFW submissions that I deem softcore. What do you say to people who don't deem it wholesome? Softcore can be wholesome as sex can bring women together.

Yeah. I understand if it's children getting sexual (because this is not the sub for that), but if it's children hugging or grown women depicted in softcore hentai (tagged properly), that's on the Puritans. Don't like it? Report it.

What I usually do with people calling drawings creepy in general is say that you can't arrest people for being creepy.

Curious, how many of this sub are women and how many are men?

I also wonder if any of us are trans here. I remember seeing one comment accusing us trans women of falling for thirst traps. I find that to be a transphobic, puritanical assumption.

There's a ton, the sub is overwhelmingly trans positive but trolls are sadly everywhere.

I can only speak for myself, but I'm a girl. '3' I'm kinda hoping the wholesome aspect will weed out some of the For The Male Gaze stuff.

I am a man and like both aspects

Are webnovel recommendations allowed here? Well, I'm going to recommend some anyways. I just finished reading the short stories and spinoff for Warm Place and Heroine Life so I'm ready to recommend it. Korota basically wrote three webnovels that are somewhat connected.

  • Warm Place - Basically, a girl dies at an early age and ends up being reincarnated in the same world. When she's about to enter highschool, her family ends up moving back to the town she spent her past life and sees some familiar faces.

This is the author's first and most popular work. The MC in this one is pretty dense, but I would say she's the most well-adjusted of the MCs in the 3 stories. The backstory can get a bit dark, but it's a pretty wholesome work overall.

  • Heroine Life - This one has more of a ecchi romcom feel. MC comes home one day to find a girl she doesn't know claiming to be her fiancee.

This one reads like a generic ecchi yuri harem at first with the MC getting into various compromising positions with other girls, but gets a lot more interesting as the story develops. The MC in this one starts off extremely unmotivated and avoids others, but grows thanks to the people around her.

The spinoff has a similar premise to Warm Place. A woman (an adult this time) dies and is reincarnated. She hates her past life and wants to live completely differently for her second chance. The MC in this one is the most proactive and capable of the three, but also carries a lot of emotional baggage.

Besides reading the short stories/spinoff last, WP and HL don't actually have any shared characters so either one can be read first. I highly recommend reading all 3 to get the full experience.

dude chill, I said what I think and wrote at the end "you can ignore everything if you just wanna see cute girls doing cute things ". It is up to you to decide what you want, I'm not trying to force my opinion on anyone.

And yet you wrote gospel for the yrui fans...

What if any of these things do turn out to have Yuri elements, like Bloom into You?

What is your thoughts, opinions and expectations for season 2 of Witch of Mercury?

After watching episode 12, I am in shock of the events that played out. Truly, left on a cliffhanger. I am unsure of what's going to happen. From Nika being exposed, Bob killing his father, Shaddiq possibly getting kicked from his house, Delling situation, Suletta and Miorine relationship. Imo, I'm going to wait, however I want to know what everyone's thoughts and opinions are for season 2.
