Any good rich girl/poor girl romance recommendations?

>>4533890

Nobody in Particular, Sophie Gonzales (YA, contains an unwanted het kiss)
Far From Home, Lorelie Brown (MC has het history)
Lover Birds, Leon Egan (YA)
Tryst Six Venom, Penelope Douglas (purityfags be warned, there's no het for the main couple but it's very obvious that the author's main shtick is m/f romance)
Love at First Set, Jennifer Dugan (starts with love interest breaking off a het engagement)
Not My Problem, Ciara Smyth (YA)
Malice, Heather Walter (YA)
The No Kiss Contract, Nan Campbell

Haven't read it, but Otava generally doesn't publish slop, so I'd expect more artsy prose attempts and less romantasy.

>story is promising
>main character's name is something stupid like dice
Why do they always do this?

>>4532430
I have not personally read it, but it seems like it has gotten some glowing reviews. Don't know if the Karelian dialect is going to cause some difficulties for you if you are not a native speaker though.

the legit question is what does a scene taking place at a strip club tell us about the movie

I want to hear about /u/ser's cringey self-insert megucas now. Does she self-harm?

>>4496787
August 28. Can the thread last till then?

I'm a skip user so I have to ask, is Sparxie and Spark the same person? This is important for the fanfic on my head.

>>4534910
Yesn't. One of them is a "mask" created and thrown away by the other. Sparkle said she made Sparxie to keep running her streaming show while she traveled, but due to Planarcadia magic, Sparxie became "real". Sparxie said Sparkle is the mask though and the game doesn't really tell you who is right. They have separate bodies and a few differences in personality.

>>4535097
Honestly that's such a lame way to force in a reason for another Sparkle. Maybe I would've bought it a bit if anything was implied back in Penacony, but Hoyo made Sparkle such a non character back then that its hard to buy any of the Sparxie/Sparkle stuff now. Remember when Hoyo used to tease these things like with The Herta and even Evernight.

It would be here if there wasn't constant sperg outs. Yes you can see it in the art that's posted here

>if it was ambiguous
It was at the start, then they gave up by chapter 17
There is barely any MC dick sucking in the main story outside the main cast in later chapters (Anis and Rapi). The MC is obviously in love with one character named Modernia and she loves him back
The MC doesn't appear in the side stories and anniversary events (the reason why many praise Nikke's story)
Bonds and filler events are why many consider this game a harem game. Trying to make them canon was the writer's biggest mistake. Many of them don't fit the timeline and the MC writing is inconsistent in those

>>4535076
From what I've heard, what Yuni eventually does in the main story doesn't make sense if her bond story was canon.

>>4535078
Great news about that! None of them are! Shift up put a time line out and a lot of the side events aren't canon nor are any of the bond events (maybe anis and rapi's original ones because they flesh out the world more).
>>4535076
> why many praise Nikke's story
It's me I'm that person and for that reason

lol I guess there's a lot someone entirely new wouldn't get. the winning live definitely feels totally random to someone who hasn't seen any other uma since despite ostensibly being made for anyone to get into it also totally makes the assumption that you're actually already familiar with the winning live aspect (which really only has proper exposition in the beginning of season 1). as for the other characters you can't really write them off because the umas are all based off historical racehorses who really were in those races (the franchise is basically a big multigenerational adaptation of Japanese horse racing) so those other umas really should have been given more time to cook within the film. and yes Fuji is definitely a prince type lmao

>>4534759
>little underdeveloped
A little? We hardly spent time with any of them in a way that matters. Couldn't even have a moment between jungle pocket and overlord
>>4534763
>winning live
So they all have an intense race where it's obvious if they don't win they are in tears and have some kind of self loathing and are expected to just do peppy songs after?
>write them off
I'm not writing them off, I'm putting more focus on those two. Shit even the trainer deserved more screen time.

Also really sanitized mental episodes

>>4534769
>We hardly spent time with any of them in a way that matters
I like the characters despite everything, so I was trying to be nice

>>4534794
You can say that and still be annoyed that they didn't get any meaningful screen time. At least Liz and the Blue Bird only focused on 2 characters

Anyone remembers Prima Doll?

I used to be really into Koukaku no Pandora but around the 10th volume release I simply couldn't keep up anymore.
Is the story concluded? Is everything translated?

Yes, those two are the final couple and that's not an opinion.

>>4535045
The series already ended like one or two years ago, but the official translation is quite far behind, and it will probably take two more years to finish.

>>4534826
I've been waiting for someone to draw that

>>4534826
This solves everything

>>4535027
Wait the table tennis one is legit????

>>4535049
Only that kiss in the first chapter for now.

>>4528372
lady must be happy they got the White Day voicelines later.
