Pretty good on Match Made in Heaven by Chance
Really nice and cute, although there are a few times I didn't like (and one time I really hated) where it leaned hard into drama for drama's sake. But, overall, still a nice read, and I hope there's more.

Pretty good on Necromancer Survival
Finally, a manga with the courage to cater to the most refined of all sexual orientations: NECROPHILIA!
As a poet in the comment section aptly described it: a story about a sugar dead-ddy and his baby. But is there more to it? G** I wish there was.
I had high hopes, but this is a actually a nightmare for a reviewer. Every component is good, but the complex result doesn't click. What doesn't work? What falls short? Is it the art? I mean, it's fine. Good enough, even. Is it the writing? Not particularly, I like the light touch approach. The characterization is definitely the best thing about it: our MC cinnamon roll is a kind and gentle soul that we gotta protecc, and the cast in general is pretty entertaining.
If I had to say, it's the pacing. Juuuust a tiny bit too slow. Not talking about the action, either: this is not a shonen. It doesn't really have a power system with definite rules. It's more of an action adventure with a... very simmering side of romance.
And that's it, isn't it? SIMMERING! What a concept! But the boiling point comes too slow, and it's a bit underwhelming. If you make me wait, you gotta make it worth it, sister. Both the adventure-revenge and the romance lack momentum, with a somewhat generally flaccid narrative climax in their arcs.
I'll say, I appreciate the surprisingly grim tone of the story. The way their relationships are corrupted and twisted by the system in this parody of affection and love, the grey limits of artificial emotions and genuine affection. And the fact that they are dead is also felt, a constant weight. I appreciate that, and it is not enough to keep me at 100% attention all the way through. It lacks something. And from what I gather, they left that fundamental something in the original novel.
Still, a 8½ on the Ivern Scale™️. It's definitely leagues above what I would rate you, so let's not be picky, k?

Kinda bad on Reality Quest
Before you get your panties in a twist and tell me to hang myself for not recognizing a masterpiece, this is simply my opinion.
Just like every story like this (How To Fight, Lookism, etc.) the main character starts as the most worthless piece of cat sh** you could find on the street
This will go on for about 25 chapters, but then he does get better. However to me, it's bad writing if you need to fall back on the old 'Just read 100000 chapters, then it possibly gets good'. Like I stated, he does improve but not completely. He stays a worthless simp for the entirety of the story, letting any girl push him around because they're pretty. There are two reasons why I can't stand these stories like this one and the other two mentioned above.
I understand stories are fictional but they must contain at least a degree of realism, especially in a relatively normal modern world like this story. For stories like this the fights are extremely unrealistic. You can not fight 30 guys with weapons and come out practically unscathed nor can you talk constantly during a fight. In the UFC some fighters do talk however that is both rare, and they are fuc**** professional fighters who do this for a living.
The second problem I have with these stories are the character's mentality and the repetitive plot. The plot is always the same, gangs and fighting against them. If you read one story you read them all. Truthfully, I'm fine with the repeating plot. The true problem comes from the character who does not have the same ruthless mentality as the gangsters. The main character (here and elsewhere) fight against psychos who are trying to kill them. Their response? Just beat them a little and call it a day. Hardly ever broken bones, and never killing them. In reality, if the gangsters can't beat you? They go after your friends and family. That's why you need that ruthlessness.
The main character also never learns martial arts and only relies on the systems skills for everything.

In korean comics with or without systems the minor high schoolers end up quickly stronger than ufc champions with one to 3 years top of convenient plot on top of 4 times the strenght of eddie hall.
