“Saved France by making out with a 12 year old girl...” *FBI WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION*

Horrifyingly, that's actually potentially legal in CURRENT DAY France. They recently had a case where an adult man had sex with a 12 yo girl, and the court ruled it wasn't rape because she didn't "resist" (legal requirement for rape - they have no minimum age of consent for rape).

[@champiggy-sama564]

[@slayerjacknone8153]

She was fucking twelve?

[@Djorgal]

@@karar7796 No it is not legal in France and you completely misunderstand what you are referring to. Just because it was not ruled as a rape, doesn't make it 'legal', it is ruled as something else (a "sexual infraction"). What you are saying is the same as claiming that "murder is legal" just because someone's crime was ruled as being a "homicide" instead of a "murder". The man was sentence for his crime, but he was judged differently for it than he would have if he had used violence. Your claim that there is no minimum age of consent in France is false. It's 15 years old. But you might wonder. How can it not be a "rape" when there is no consent? Well that's because the French and English language are different and "rape" is not really a translation of the French word "viol". A "viol" requires violence as part of the definition of the word. If there is no violence, then it is not a "viol", it is something else, but it is still illegal to have sex with someone who didn't consent.

Since he was a child, he's thought of how great it would be to really live in a game world. One day, when he breaks a promise to his cousin Maki in order to play video games, his wish comes true. "New Communicate Online," also known as "Neko-Mimi-Neko," is the game he was playing at the time. Neko-Mimi-Neko is well known for its trick quests, occasional unfairly high level enemies, and many bugs, all of which combine to make players die over and over again. Now that Soma seems to literally be a starting character in the game world, will he re-spawn after death, or actually die? Luckily, he knows just about everything there is to know about the world of Neko-Mimi-Neko, so he may be able to make the unfairness in the game work to his advantage!"

Also, I noticed that the main female lead of the book looks suspiciously like Suzuki, right down to the long purple hair, so even if she didn't figure out that Suzuki was Chiyaki crushing on her big brother, any normal person would look at that and assume the big brother is crushing on his baby sister.

So like I watched the first episode of the incest one and I cannot believe for a second how that main character does not absolutely despise his sister. Let's put it into perspective: MC loves light novels. He rants on and on about them, wants to one day be a LN writer and even works at a bookshop so he can be closer to his passion. He spends an absurd amount of time working on drafts only to get shot down time and time again for being a bad writer. In comes sister who is smart and capable to the point where she basically mothers this dude. She thinks those books is a bunch of weeb shit and doesn't understand it. He constantly tries to turn her around on it, but nah man won't even try because it's for weebs. But because she's crushing on the brother dick she wants to, just for funsies, write out some fanfiction straight for her dairy. Boom. Slam Dunk. Nobel Peace Prize. She tells MC. It's so absurd he doesn't believe it at first. Once he realizes that she just casually accomplished the only thing he wants from life at this moment, pretty much overnight. He's happy for her. What's more, the book is about him! And to put the cherry on top of this fuckstack she wants him to pretend to be her and take her credit for the work he didn't do when all he wants in life is to write cool ass stories. Dude has to accept awards for how sweet his own dick would be and is forced to confront how much of a shit writer he is for *not* writing that. I cannot imagine anything more insulting to a creative individual.

And that's why I have an actual personal disdain for My Sister My Writer. It takes the overdone "talented little sister" trope to such lengths that it destroys any hope of a satisfying story from the start. The synopsis only said that she won a "light novel award", which I interpreted as just a small contest. Something that this girl could reasonably win. She would need her brother to handle publishers and whatnot because she doesn't understand those things or is afraid she won't be taken seriously, and then the story could be about them working on this together as equals. Have the brother get suspicious about possible connections between the writing and their relationship, and bam! An interesting romance. There's nothing inherently wrong with the "talented little sister" trope if it's handled well. In fact, it sets up a good way for the siblings to do something together that concerns a main plot. Or it could be a source of internal conflict that needs to be settled before the couple is truly happy together. But making the sister out to be some godly writer while the brother has no redeeming qualities is not the way to go.

However there's a difference between slightly stronger gear and new mechanics that nobody else has. Moving on to the plot, just like Jeff said it's a blatant Anohana copy but just worse. It's a cardboard layout of the premise and story beats and it doesn't do it well either.
