Greetings Lance,

Mm no it's not serious I wear an AFO on each leg more to straighten them up, and help support me as I walk. They are heavy though.

Well I'm glad the names show some promise, it was quite a search to find interesting monikers.

It's been a bit since I read the Manga, but I really liked Cerea (Centaurs are right up there with Lilims for me) I enjoyed her Knightly protective attitude and sweet demeanor even if she can sometimes be utterly clueless about her own feelings. Her desire for a 'Lord or Master' to me was her wanting a family but not really knowing what to look for being a tad naive about life. I found Cerea's character to be an interesting combination. Here is this woman who has these finely honed warrior skills, if she wanted she could easily hurt someone. But she's compassionate enough to know her limits, and she has a specific morality even if it is old fashioned somewhat.

I also liked Rachnee, her more moody disposition due to being distrusted for her appearance really stuck with me. I'm a softie a heart. She also seemed to be the most mature of the group nowing what she wanted and going for it. Even though she puts up a front of being tough and unconcerned she struggles with the way she's seen and her desire to be accepted, of course she has to balance her needs with having to take care of everyone else, (Papi, Suu, Miia) sort of like an older sister and keep them out of trouble. So that was a nice combination.

More than anything I think I liked the idea of "liminals" or Monster girls as a genre unto itself. Besides my Science Fiction and Fantasy novels this was the first setting with some concrete rules and world design that had Centuars and Ogres and Demons and whatnot. (Unlike some of that weird Hentai stuff that exists purely for sexual reasons) I mean Monster Musume still had some of that as does MGE but it has other things in addition to just "Hot Monster Girls" There's a good amount  of effort put in to give the characters a backstory and personality.

As for what displeased me well, I said it before but I didn't like the idea of "Monster Boys" I know it's scummy but the logic in my head was 'Oh great now not only do I have to compete with other folks I have to compete with these huge males that are already members of the species I'm into. Disadvantageous for me.

The other problem was that the Liminals were a tad more beastial than I cared for. They could still attack and kill on a whim. If they wanted they could kill someone. The whole Full Moon thing in Monster Musume is a great example, even if they weren't intending to they lose their senses and could and do injury people during that time.

Mamono on the other hand have a higher morality. (Even moreso then the Humans who claim to be superior to them) They won't kill or inflict harm, in fact they go out of their way to be peaceful even in War (DE Silver Weapons) They only fight and potentially harm someone  if that person is a threat to their husband or family.

Well there are a few of my thoughts but I don't want to take up a huge bit of space.

What about you, what do you like and dislike about Monster Musume? Are there things you prefer there than in MGE? Or are there things you'd want them to adopt from this setting?

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.
