The Crime And Punishment Of Summoning A Saint ~A Bouquet of Wishes~ Chapter oneshot Discussion

In many ways, this is not a well-done story. As you'd expect out of a free, amateur publishing site, there are a lot of flaws.

Interesting concepts and ideas are introduced but aren't expounded upon properly. Characters act in irrational ways, though you can justify that there are PLENTY of real-world political figures and heads of organizations that are this dense and self-destructive. There are also elements that I think the author tried to introduce early to prevent an ass-pull but failed at it when it was time to reintroduce that element.

Despite all these, however, I enjoyed this story.

It's a nice exploration of the question, "What if the person who finds themselves in another world doesn't want to be there? What if the whole world is falling over themselves to praise her? What if you explore xenophobia, prejudice, and the horrifying nature of getting s**ked into another world without your consent and a way back home?"

I also enjoy the bonding of strangers in a strange land for them both, of someone willing to stand up for the victim of a society, and for a story that unquestionably lets its protagonists cross lines without regret, without remorse.

Most people will probably not enjoy this story if you're looking for well-crafted structure, proper pacing, introduction and reuse of elements, and realistic character development and actions from the antagonists.

But as yuri tr*sh, I liked it.
