Criticism towards that isekai maid webcomic are a lil silly with the way they say the author is exaggerating about how frequent maids get slapped by isekai-ed mcs when they're commenting on why the trope even exists in the first place when the mc comes from a time more informed about class and work dynamics and it's not the only trope addressed by the webcomic. Trying to make this seem like a exclusively english-speaking audience/westerner nitpicking when in-house maids are still a thing in Asia, immigration is a hell hole and xenophobia is rampant?? A commentary on the problematic themes in the rofan/isekai genre is suddenly too preacy but dozens of manhwa awarding its entitled narcissistic mcs are ok, groundbreaking even? Who's picking needles from haystacks here?

#yes I will defend this webtoon to my last breath #i didn't think I'd find a webcomic that deconstructs the reoccurring issues in this subgenre of fantasy manhwa in my lifetime #so yes I will defend it #is the timeline convoluted? sorta. rereading it should refresh your memory #i thought I'd have to make my own comic and I'd be dead before i cough out a first draft #this isekai maid is forming a union #also! asia severely needs unionization! i can't be paid shit bc my company is greedy af #apparently manhwa fans don't like it much...shocker

Hey will you check out this isekai maid is forming a union,Its on webtoons and tapas and it not only focuses on a commoner than nobles and duchess but it's a meta deconstruction on the rofan/otome isekai genre

I've actually been reading that one! I do like it quite a bit but I fell a bit behind. I'll definitely catch up on it soon!

You have no idea how many praises I was singing in various tongues that we finally had a character ask the isekai'd people can go from living in modern/liberal times to easily transitioning to the dark ages.

Another autistic character who would cut a bitch: Marina from This Isekai Maid is Forming a Union!

While not as much of a driving force as the protagonist herself, she kicks ass and takes names and shows initiative, and is very good at ruining the days of some dickish nobles. She's a dependable figure and is close with the rest of the cast, and generally pretty loveable. She is also pretty narratively important, with more protagonist flags than the protagonist herself I'd say, and a lot of story events relate to her. Finally, she's less bitch-cutty than my usual fare but that's part of the comic's general stance against violence and emphasizing love and compassion, and it's nice to see an autistic character depicted with that.

Also she's pretty. Seriously, the art style is gorgeous.

Have u heard of the webtoon “This isakai maid is forming a union”? The female lead of the story is a queer woman of color who has been reincarnated over and over as a maid character in isakai stories. It has a lot of discussion about what happens after the end of those types of stories (like how the ppl of a country really feel about the cold tyrant king even if his heart of stone has been softened by a woman) and it criticizes how the female leads abuse lower class women in the name of #girlbossing.

Yes, I love it! I highly recommend it to any RoFan readers who want to see tropes deconstructed. I originally checked it out because it had

A. a brown FL

B. a queer FL

C. a neurodivergent side character who is more than just a punchline

D. trans characters

E. criticism of many of the tropes that I so passionately despise

F. magic system that is actually explored

G. interesting side characters and villains

And plenty more reasons! So yeah, I just love it.

Anyways, read This Isekai Maid Is Forming A Union!

I love trashy wish fulfillment. Sometimes even when it is problematic. I love it because I am petty, and I need a way to rot my brain that isn't alcohol/smoking/gambling/gaming, and I know not to base my entire morality on the media I consume. Still, even in the works I like some tropes can get exhausting, especially when I have to strain the suspension of my ethics to see the main character as a good, deserving person. That's where this story comes in, as a breath of fresh air!

This Isekai Maid Is Forming A Union! is about a woman currently called "Bridgette". Bridgette not only has reincarnated numerous times in a fantasy world, she has reincarnated in a nexus fantasy world comprised of many Otome Isekai novels, which she shares with other reincarnated women who have read the stories they end up in and have changed their courses. And in turn, she has read the novels about them reincarnating and changing the course of events, effectively one-upping them in Meta Layers™️. But that advantage is a bit cut short since she only reincarnates as maids, with all the implications that being a dark-skinned, freckled foreigner serving a white noble house in a faux-rococo/victorian(?) era imply. At last, however, she has finally decided to join the fate-altering fray when the novel she's currently inhabiting threatens not only her life, but also that of her coworkers. It's on webtoon canvas and tapas and at the time of this writing (September 1st 2022) it has concluded its first season (it will come back on November, apparently).

Now, if you don't particularly care about the genre a deconstruction of it might not feel like your wheelhouse, but hey, aren't we all at least Really Fucking Tired of anime Isekais that treat slavery like a mere kink? This is as close a callout for that as you will get. But no, seriously, the thing is well-written; it's worldbuilding feels researched and realized, its good at keeping the tension even if not much technically happens so far, and it doesn't skim on showing how the abuse of the system affects everyone, even the villains who absolutely need to be taken down. I really want it to become more popular, so please give it a try if you can.

This is a fan art of a drama fantasy webcomic, This isekai maid is forming a union !  by frostlight comics Which is a deconstruction of the otome isekai genre publish in most Asian countries like Japan and South korea  .

It shows its main character Bridgette, who is drawn in the style of Samurai jack and some of the animated movies like The Secret of Kells and Wolfwalker by Irish cartoon studio Cartoon Saloon . Especially that its style was inspired from the story within the season 1 finale called the Maiden and the three princes, which Bridgette tells to his little sister.

This art is also inspired from the rejected cover arts

Here are Isekai Maid Asks #5! There's more below the cut!

CW: Discussions of sexual assault and abuse

In the alternate world where Seasalt (Marinus's AU counterpart) and Marina grew up together, he would get very angry about her being bullied.

After she left due to being bullied, Seasalt snuck into the school, posed as a student and dumped a bucket of sewer water on Nightwolffe and the prince while they were walking to class. He wasn't able to get to the third boy who bullied Marina. He spent a few days in jail for that.

Fawn was killed due to the reincarnator, Julietta, her lady, misjudging how succession worked in this new world she came to.

Fawn, Julietta's maid, was taken advantage of by the lady's brother, Rafael, and he was convinced she was pregnant with his child. Fawn was horrified by the prospect of becoming pregnant, as it would result in her being expelled from the household and losing her job. He was also obsessed with her, but Julietta played his behavior off for laughs.

As revenge for what he did to her and in hopes she could stop him from further taking advantage of her, Fawn allowed an assassin to make an attempt on his life. It didn't succeed, and Julietta found out about this.

Because Julietta often read stories where illegitimate children would be able to inherit or be acknowledged as long as the child was male or favored, she allowed Fawn to consume poison for her, but it killed Fawn.

The reincarnator only later realized that illegitimate children were prohibited in Teffrah from being acknowledged, and were granted no rights of inheritance regardless if they were male. Making Fawn's death pointless in terms of succession.

Rafael lost his mind as a result of Fawn's death. While he went quiet for a while, the reincarnator assumed he would get over Fawn's death since she was a traitor and find a proper noblewoman to marry. She went on to marry a rich duke, and was expecting a child by her "happy ending."

However, after the ending, Rafael began sending assassins after his in laws and and killed the Julietta's child. This began a bloody sequence of events that resulted in each side of the family sending people to kill each other as revenge. Julietta went to the crown for assistance, because her husband was related to the king.

But because of her unsettling knowledge of the royal family secrets (as a means of blackmailing them into helping her), she was accused of making a deal with a demon to usurp the crown and the entire household was stripped of their noble rank and hunted down. The reincarnator was killed along with Rafael.

Libraries for public access do exist, but they are scattered across the country and they aren't as accessible as they should be. Most are also privately funded, or funded by the mage's union.

Thank you so much! ( ^ w ^ )

You should go ahead with the your idea, we need more western Otome Isekai. Even if it's not "typical" in style, there are people who are waiting to read it and it might become someone's favorite thing!

The more I read "I am the Real One", the more Cosette's destroying the Empire felt like it had more grounding and was the logical conclusion to an outdated method of defense, given how deeply unfair the society is. It was a timebomb waiting to happen.

All the systems in place that kept Keira from getting a fair trial and expediting her execution ( and it wasn't because of brainwashing like the story wants us to think, the system was simply working the way it was meant to since Keira no longer had an absurd amount of money and status, kinda like...MINA, who she had whipped nearly to death in both lifetimes).

I have to agree that the story really didn't need romance, and I think the love triangle really bogs it down. It was so vague to the point that I just couldn't keep reading.

Not a dumb question at all! Limpette technically does have a military, but they are mostly protected by the kingdom of Kolt for military aid, since they are sister countries.

But because Kolt is going through a revolution and in the past few decades has been in disarray due to power grabs, they can't provide resources or aid to Limpette and are vulnerable to invasion from Teffrah.

Thank you so much for reading!

I think when it comes to VADD/DITOEFTV, there is so much that can be re-contextualized with Penelope after she decides she deserves to enslave someone for her own benefit. She turned from a character who was aware of her own abuse and commented on it, to a hypocrite who is fully willing to abuse others. And the story goes out of it's way to justify her actions by handing her a happy ending.

I personally think that authors' should give characters the endings they deserve. What does it say when a slave owner who took someone's life away gets away and has a happy ending where they become the richest person in the land, surrounded by jewels and riches for the rest of their days? It tells the reader that they deserve this ending.

I'm really happy that Iseul was relatable. When I was first writing Iseul, I wanted to be sure I was breaking the cycle of just having a person to "just be an evil OG!Female Lead to our new female lead" in a sense where the villainess genre was going. I wanted to show someone who was just a person. We all have the capacity to be our worst selves, and we can get out of that mindset too if we look inward.

I'm happy to say that Nataliah and Oliver were able to escape and live happily, and I will be showing more of them in the story later. ^ _ ^

We will be seeing some of her diary entries later in the series.

Noah was devestated by her loss, but he was able to help keep her memory alive with their children by teaching them about her. He also later in life changed his surname to "Soole."

He was able to live under the radar with their children, who couldn't pass as Teffrah and took after their Haena more than him. By her request, he had her name removed from their family tree to protect his kids privacy, but their children named their female descendants variations of "Haena" by using the name "Hannah" and adopting the surname "Soole".

Thank you so much for reading! ( ; w ; )

And when it comes to Cordelia, she has a few versions where she is born from male!Nahla and had a stepfather. The other versions have Claudia as her stepmother and Montgomary Demeter as her father, with Nahla as her birth mother.

Male!Nahla as her father: Cordelia would be raised by her stepfather, Claudius, who is too embarrassed because he was cheated on by Cordelia's mother to kick Cordelia out. In this version, Cordelia's mother, Lady Samantha Demeter, took advantage of Nahla's male counterpart similar to how Eriadne, Nora's mother, took advantage of Geralt. Samantha would die from poisoning, and Claudius would frame Nahla's male counterpart and have him executed.

Nahla as her mother: Same backstory as Lord Demeter, up until she is born. Cordelia would be much more favored by her father, Montgomery Demeter. Nahla wouldn't have even been able to hold Cordelia, because Montgomery took her as soon as he found out the baby was a girl.

She would given the latest toys, the best dresses, and would be a symbol of his "superior" genetics because she came out passing as Teffrah. However, he'd also have a violent temper with her, so Cordelia would shut down. By the time she was ten, she would grow tired of her father and poison him to death when he started becoming creepy. Her stepmother is aware and lives on eggshells around Cordelia, but oddly enough Cordelia doesn't hate her stepmother. She just thinks she's a snitch. Not disliking her doesn't stop her from killing her before Stone!Demeter arrives though.

They mentioned V*llains *re D*stined To Die! Yes! I'm so tired of how the readers are ignoring and even justifying FL's decision to keep Eckles enslaved to her (just bc of a plot that hasn't happened yet) bc Eckles is secretly a yandere. It doesn't matter what his actual personality is when he is literally subservient to FL! FL's middle class household trauma doesn't excuse her decision to buy Eckles and continue to force him to be a slave. What's with these comics and making actual victims of oppression the villains to some bitch who had terrible parents...

#this isekai maid is forming a union #I'm so happy that someone decided to make a comic to study the bigotry in these comics bc my ass wasn't going to make one any time soon

just caught up on "this isekai maid is forming a union!" continues to be a banger

#narrates #REALLY love how thoroughly the author rips apart otome isekai conventions #and exposes them as the racist and classist and abuse apologist nonsense they are #the characters and worldbuilding are really fun!

[godza]

[joeymiya]

reading this isekai maid is forming a union god tier i love it it’s genius it’s essentially shitting on shoujo isekai through a pov of someone reincarnating multiple times in the same position- a maid and someone who doesn’t matter in the slightest. there’s also meta commentary and just..something about stories. I don’t know why I’m obsessed like this- gods.

[chickemz]

After reading @catesartworks WEBTOON “this isekai maid is forming a union!” I had to draw fanart for it and it’d be none other then the mc, bridgette of course. I highly recommend this series to anyone that’s craving a meta isekai fantasy that deconstructs the usual tropes found in these types of stories. The world building and characters are really fleshed out as well so it adds more substance to the more serious topics about classism, racism, colorism, homophobia, Etc. anyways rant over, read it when you guys have the time!
