Flower On The Ash

Another book was already completed, so very overwhelming and amazing story.  Cant wait for the next story. I'll definitely read and support all your upcoming books. Thank you Cass. Godbless you more.

My first review, so go easy on me.

Anyway, I've read 21 out of the "23" chapters. I don't know where the last 2 chapters are but I can't seem to find them. Regardless, the story ends pretty conclusively even at chapter 21, so I'm not too worried about that. So let's get down to it.

Yuri: 10  
Before I say anything, I'd like talk about this story and its "yuri." One of the lead mains, "Carol," does have a male mode, but it's mostly used as a "supermode" more than anything else (not spoiling anything, it's revealed pretty early). Most importantly, all the s-e-x scenes are when Carol is in her main, female mode. The documentation states that she assumes a "male mentality, whatever that means.

I'm a huge sucker for yuri and their love was a big part of the plot. If you don't like girl on girl, don't read this. One thing though, this manga is really lewd and makes no effort to hide it. It's not uncommon for both of the leads to "accidentally" have their clothing destroyed during battle.

Warning: the relationship between the leads does get sapy sometimes

Plot: 7  
This is a mixed bag for me. You'll find a surprisingly large amount of action for a yuri manga. For people looking for the classic "coming of age, schoolgirl yuri" this is probably not for you. The plot revolves around two girls, one of them an android, saving the world from an evil AI. Not very original. There's plenty of death, killing, and violence. There's even rape.

For me, the plot can be divided into two halves. For the first half, Carol, the android, is pretty much invincible and is able to beat anything really. For the second half, after the introduction of that one antagonist, the narrative suddenly shifts to "it's hopeless no one can beat [antagonist]." But the brief moments (when the author actually does accomplish it) feeling of hopelessness and despair add to the quality of the story.

Anyway, sometimes in this story you just have to roll with it.

Art: 8  
It's nothing remarkable, really. However, the art was not bad and it definitely did not get in my way of enjoying this series. If you feel it's unsatisfactory, remember that it was created in the mid 90's.

Characters: 9  
I very much appreciated the main leads, Carol and Shiori. In many ways, Shiori is your archetypal "damsel in distress." In other ways, she proves to be quite competent and actually saves the day in some cases. She's very emotionally strong and is the one that makes their relationship work.

Carol, as the beginning of the story, seems to be an instant win condition. She's very powerful in combat and there's no enemy that can beat her, except for that one [antagonist]. She is very capable and strong. She does have a few moments of weakness, however.

Honorable mentions: [Antagonist] was a really sick and vile person. He really was an enemy to take and he does some very vile things.

Enjoyment: 9  
Even with its few shortcomings, I very much enjoyed Chirality. There were no boring moments for me and I was on the edge of my seat for some parts of the plot. The way the two main characters grew on each other really melted my heart.

Overall: 9  
If you like yuri relationships and want a bit of a classic, this is a manga for you. It's not a short read but it's not too long either. It's always interesting and there's really no filler. For yuri, it realy is a classic because of how early it was created. Anyway, I hope you take the time to read it when you get the chance.

Hey guys, This is Praise.?? I want to inform y'all that my new book, Chasing his, is out! Kindly check it out, if you don't mind. Thanks for your support! I hope you like my new book. God bless! Also, thanks to those who reached me out on my social media.

It's a decent novel although I did rage a bit at times, that's a common thing for me. The characters are quite enjoyable, In fact, I enjoy some of the side characters more than the MC by a wide margin. The world-building is well done as well. One of my biggest critiques is the power system. A character could be out of mana and then be like “oh lets use a potion” and the effects are instant, anticlimactic asl.

Now let's talk about my worst part of the novel, that being the last arc. It was complete *ss. All the characters other than the MC become useless which defeats the entire point of the timeskip. It has hands down some of the worst writing I read and that says a lot since I read a lot of brainrot novels. It’s dragged on for far to long and tbh it was the most disappointing sh*t ever. The last arc ruined the overall story for me but thankfully the last couple of chapters saved it. The end was done beautifully. I’ll give it a 7/10.

Such bad grammar, I did not even complete the first chapter
