Review Detail of AyakoA_chan in Reborn as a Dog

I didn’t really have much expectations for this but it’s actually pretty awesome! (And coming from an avid reader with a distaste for cringy and cheesy stories, that’s high praise.) The characters are likeable, funny and easy to root for, but also determined, strong and intriguing in their own way. Yang Shan is so stubborn it’s funny and so determined that I can’t help but admire him a little when I’m not laughing. His plans are ridiculous but not overly unreasonable and everyone else’s reactions to them are hilarious (especially Bai Xiaoqi). Mani does feel a bit cliche, especially with the earlier contradiction about her wanting to bed him immediately before she even got to know him when one of her flashbacks revealed she’d thought the opposite earlier, but overall she’s not bad. Bai Xiaoqi has to be one of my favourite characters in the whole series so far - he’s strong and very morally grey but all of his seriousness gets chucked out of the window when faced with the storm that’s Yang Shan. (also I kind of kin with Green she’s awesome) Overall, Reborn As A Dog has a lighthearted, fun feel and uses tropes without making them seem too cheesy. The plot is easygoing and entertaining and the characters are highly comedic and likeable. And it updates five times a week!
