This Romantic World Page 194
Added 2021-05-20 21:50:37 +0000 UTCEDIT: Softened Nadine's expression a little in panel four, so that she still looks distressed but less like she wants to strangle this guy. Attached the original for reference.
I suppose I could have easily ended this scene with the previous page, but to me, this scene wasn't just about showcasing Nadine's relationship with Shiro, but her friendship with Max as well. I felt I had to bring these two together at the end.
I'm hoping that comes through clearly here. I have some concern that in those two panels where her attitude softens, readers might think that Nadine's just putting on an act for a boss she can't stand. Obviously that's not what I want. I want to show that she likes this guy and wants to look out for him, even if he drives her crazy. I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me, for this page, the scene overall, or even what you'd like to see next from the characters featured here.

I agree...I can see the Nurse overwhelming him to the point that he just said "Yes" to her employment as he didn't know what else to say. After all, he didn't go straight to the Nurse for his hangnail, which I think he would have, if he hired her for sex exclusively. Can't wait to see more of the Nurse in the current chapter, though!

2021-05-27 20:15:42 +0000 UTCGood idea, I think it's much more in line with his character 👍🏾

2021-05-27 16:52:53 +0000 UTCYes, I think the expression tweak does work. But I really would like some follow-up scenes with them, showing them be friends. Maybe to keep it on theme, they're having a conversation nearby others having secret sex.

2021-05-27 16:52:10 +0000 UTCYou know, the more I think about it, I think that should be a case of Jane being Jane. He's just as horny as anyone else in the cast, the Nurse is walking proof of that. But after this chapter especially, the idea of him screwing students just doesn't sit right with me.

2021-05-27 16:48:11 +0000 UTCAn inspiration for sure! XD

2021-05-27 16:48:05 +0000 UTCNice! That's the intent.

2021-05-27 16:47:54 +0000 UTCThat's certainly more what i was going for. :)

2021-05-27 16:47:44 +0000 UTCNot a bad fit! :)

2021-05-27 16:47:02 +0000 UTCI hope the expression tweak helped! :)

2021-05-27 16:46:33 +0000 UTCHe's lucky to have her for sure! :)

Reinbach
2021-05-27 16:46:06 +0000 UTCHey thanks for the input! And hopefully the expression tweak made my intentions more clear in this case.

2021-05-27 16:44:31 +0000 UTCHe still doesn't believe she cures his bad luck, and otherwise has good reason to avoid her at the moment. XD
Reinbach
2021-05-27 16:44:05 +0000 UTCGood to hear!
Reinbach
2021-05-27 16:43:31 +0000 UTCGreat! :)
Reinbach
2021-05-27 16:43:18 +0000 UTCNice to know this stuff is relatable! :)
Reinbach
2021-05-27 16:42:26 +0000 UTCRight, and that's definitely not the impression I wanted to leave off with here, so I think this page had to happen.

2021-05-27 16:41:45 +0000 UTCI have a question, possibly best answered in the form of a strip. In the beach scene of the TRW game, Jane says she regularly has sex with Redcliff. Was she telling the truth, or was it just Jane being Jane? He seems like a sweet oblivious teddy bear the more we get to know him, so if she's telling the truth it would be interesting to know how that arrangement came about 🙂

2021-05-24 20:48:35 +0000 UTCHe looks so authentically pitiful and in need of compassion in panel 3, who wouldn't feel something for Max? Awesome chapter, Rein.

2021-05-21 13:56:19 +0000 UTCAn Hangnail and a Raccon and he still goes to work! He is a Hero!

2021-05-21 10:17:19 +0000 UTCI read her expression more as "after spending some 'time' with Shiro she can once again muster the patience to deal with this poor man."
Missing Link
2021-05-21 08:00:51 +0000 UTCGood call changing Nadine's expression in panel four. It went from " This Fucking Baby" to "This poor Man-child".

2021-05-21 05:25:23 +0000 UTCHe's her lovable oaf of a friend. I love this whole segment with her and I cant help but hear her as Ikora from Destiny in my head.

Bob Fink
2021-05-21 00:20:32 +0000 UTCLol alright I like this. Holt I guess is that co-worker that looks out for you even if you're a big ole dolt. At least that is my impression here. Before it was like "This idiot..." Or maybe it's just the after glow from a leg stiffening orgasm. Idk... Replace co-worker with friend. Lol

2021-05-20 23:49:21 +0000 UTCI read this as you intended, but I could see how someone might misunderstand. Maybe a smiling sigh or a little laugh to reinforce her genuineness?

2021-05-20 23:23:39 +0000 UTCAaaah, the big guy tries but he is clearly in over his head...good thing he has a good friend to back him up.
Argenten
2021-05-20 23:01:49 +0000 UTCYeah, based on going back to Strips #36, it feels like they have more of an antagonistic relationship than a friendly one. I feel like if you want to sell that they are actually friends, I'd need to see more. How do you manage to be friends with someone that doesn't respect your opinion? And as far as what I'd like to see next... I mean, there's a lot of possibilities. But most of all, I'd like to see more development of Jane beyond being an instigator. Or alternatively, more from Elianna's household. Parents, maids, and her.

2021-05-20 22:42:40 +0000 UTCDied @ "the raccoon hissed at me". It hisses at everyone! That's it's whole deal!
Squid Hills
2021-05-20 22:34:52 +0000 UTCI will say that I wasn't sure, in my mind, whether or not she was putting on an act. The second expression is compelling, but man that first death glare... I needed your follow up text to be sure. I'm not sure how one would fix it though. And maybe its just me. An extra transition panel maybe, but you're low on space. Perhaps if that first silent reaction was more frustrated or exhausted... I guess I just hadn't gotten the impression that they actually had a good relationship beforehand.
GregD
2021-05-20 22:33:09 +0000 UTCFantastic chapter... one of my faves you've done so far! As far as future ideas for the characters featured: 1) Isaac / Parker: Definitely a deep dive into how Chloe takes their new relationship... maybe in between, they participate in a swing party or two. 2) Morgan: Hopefully the next time we see her, she has full on sex w/ a guy, whoever that turns out to be. Wouldn't mind seeing some pinups of her trying more sexual experiments (blowbang maybe?). 3) Shiro / Ms. Holt: Someway, somehow... cosplay sex w/ these two 😎. And maybe a date night at Ms. Holt's house.

2021-05-20 22:19:22 +0000 UTCIt's sweet to see her softer side. Especially concerning max. I don't think the principal means any wrong, he's just a few beers short of a six pack... so to speak. My question is who are we going to check in with next?
Slaughterbug
2021-05-20 22:13:14 +0000 UTCBest girl best girl best GIIIIRRRRLLLLLLLL!! Now she’s endearing and kind even to the worlds biggest doofus! Thus entire arc has been like a present just for me, and I cannot think if a way to improve it, other than to make it never end.

2021-05-20 22:10:04 +0000 UTCSounds like Derek isn't getting his Ellie time.
Malcolm Tent
2021-05-20 21:59:59 +0000 UTCNo, it looks really genuine. For me it conveyed exactly what you were writing about. Sort of like she's thinking. "This guy (angry).... this guy (sympathetic)."
Walter L.
2021-05-20 21:58:46 +0000 UTCI think she’s gotten her generous back blown out, and she could handle the apocalypse with a smile right now. I do think she’s a good person looking out for her boss and friend though.
rah
2021-05-20 21:58:42 +0000 UTCThis is agreat scene, most of us have that one friend that even though they are completely lost with out us they are the most loyal and caring friends we will ever have.
LordRion
2021-05-20 21:55:35 +0000 UTCI felt it was a good addition showing this scene. Some just going off the last few pages would think he's incompetent and she would want to be rid of him.
