Going to start a series of posts to introduce my three protagonists of A Cinderella Crime Story
3 anime characters and a book quote to describe my Cinderella, Aiden Hui
You know what? For all its messiness and faults (and there's LOTS of them), I'll commend the series for committing to supporting LGBTQIA+ and non-traditional relationships till the end.
Can't keep silent about this any longer. I deeply want this extremely depressed ex-warrior and have been thirsting over him the second he shows up
Scarlet is like "THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIIIIIFE!!!!"
JUST GET TOGETHER ALREADY
Come ON the setup would've been too easy
It's a short scene but a highly effective one. Unless there's some kind of magical plot device that pauses what happens on Earth, isekai stories SHOULD explore how the world continues after the characters have been summoned. It makes the storytelling more layered.
Preorder links are up! It's currently only ebook, but preorders mean a lot, so I appreciate everyone who preorders!!! In the meantime, see what the novel is about 😉

In my heart of hearts, I know they're poly
Thank you! A dream come true for me after so many years
🚨 Cover reveal 🚨
My first ever novel, published by DeepHeartsYA, is coming! A Cinderella Crime Story is my take on the classic tale but make it:
- gay
- Chinese
- mafia
- add assassins
I can't wait to share this novel with you all! Mark your calendars for Jan 2026
She's still just a baby T.T
Me: Haaaaang on where's the ultimate Rage Baiter Prince that I know and love? This doesn't seem like Juliu-oh. Nevermind.
I feared they were going to force the whole reconciliation after her husband cheated on her, but I'm glad the anime committed to the fact she's been betrayed and no matter what grand gestures he makes, it's not enough to change reality that he broke their vows
Here's my contribution to the discourse of "women also like shows where it's just the men who's beautiful but the girls are plain." You can bet your ass a lady knight in a girl-centric anime will either be Hot, Beautiful, or Cute. We want EVERYONE beautiful in some shape or form!
Genuinely love how much Kisara accessorizes in her designs - it gives her a lot of character.
Crying laughing. Anya's learning to emotionally manipulate with her powers. That's Loid's daughter alright.
Male lead so pathetically in love that he gets angry at his men for hooting about what a catch he got. Also look at that ridiculously chibi face.
I love ships involving assassins. I love well-executed enemies to lovers. I love Iana and Sol I love Iana and Sol I love Iana and Sol...
Okay they COOKED using the classic "kabedon" trope in anime to discuss an actual segregation wall and how it's separated beastpeople from humans and boxed them in dangerously. Bravo, With You Our Love Will Make It Through, bravo
Okay seeing Saran again hurts me b/c I genuinely do feel like it's a bit of a lost opportunity to see these two really working back-to-back. I get that he's the inciting incident for Akira's plot to kick off but still T.T
For everyone who complains about heroes letting villains finish their monologues - stop your complaints because Scarlet El Vandimion has not let a single antagonist put in two sentences before she starts throwing hands (or statues or spears or whatever else is available)
LET'S GO LESBIANS!!!
Call me Iana's past life for the way I'm middle school giggling and cackling over these two
To put the cherry on top for tonight, Yano's Ordinary Days was utterly delightful
- Yano and Hashiba bond over Shojo manga
- Yano becomes a fan of Shojo manga
- Yano realizes his feelings b/c of said Shojo manga
- Yano FUCKING CONFESSES
10/10
Ugh, I know love triangles are almost considered a necessity in romance, but genuinely, those 3 have the perfect chemistry + vibes together. I feel like something's missing when one of them isn't there, so I'm praying the love triangle doesn't change things...
A man of 90+ deems it "sinful" for kids to go through puberty before the "proper time" in order to ensure they remain "pure" which allows him to always control children. Meanwhile, kids who grow faster are forced to feel guilty about something uncontrollable. Oh Sanda, that's brilliant
Call her Goddess of Karma for how she never pulls her punches
I FINALLY figured out what's bothering me so much about the CGI in Wandance! They literally have 0 facial expressions! Just compare them with Iori here - she looks and feels alive b/c her entire face looks like a real person, while the other two look like dead puppets!
