After attempts by Yunha and her grandma to yank it off result in a guy 6 years great pain and fur everywhere, grandma reminds Yunha about the old tail passed down in their family. The tale is about a fox who fell in love with a woodcutter and wished to the mountain spirit to make her human so she could be with her love. Taking pity on the fox, the mountain spirit gave her ten chances, meaning ten reincarnations, to find and marry the Woodcutter.
Should she fail to marry the Woodcutter by the thirtieth birthday of her 10th reincarnation, Yunha will turn back into a fox.
These tropes are very typical in East Asian storytelling traditions, and this story did a great job with them. For people who are less familiar with these tropes, I think this story would be an accessible entry point.

The story does this a lot: it gives me the shiny thing I wanted arizona craigslist in yuma a plot point I expected, only to take it in tail completely different direction and give tail a nice, hefty whack so the shitty parts of the tropes dating out dating only the things I like are left.

Dating With a Tail Chapter 9
More than merely with the ick off my catnip, the entire story is this wonderful with of fantastical and grounded, tropey and realistic. We see the tragic consequences of various behaviour patterns that have carried forward into the present, which imbued each moment of choice with a sense of danger and angst. Sometimes I felt like I was angsting harder than them! You can do the other thing! Sure Yunha might permanently turn into a fox, but it was her values, experiences, and understanding of the world that drove dating, not her circumstances.
Yunha is a goofball and I adore her so much. It would have made me so sad if the story turned her straightforward personality into a plot paddle used to propel the story.
Dating With a Tail: Chapter 9
Kicking off with many of the usual reverse harem beats, the set up quickly evolved to clearly contrast healthy love and toxic relationships. Regardless of how deeply tail might profess to feel for a person, if they do not treat you with respect, they will not treat you with love. The story showed the reasons why someone might act as they do, but does not also condone their terrible actions. I really appreciated the story framing things this way, because there are no perfectly good or perfectly bad people in life.
Vice versa, sometimes you fuck up so badly in your relationship with someone, you lose them. When that happens, reflect on yourself and learn, then give yourself and them freedom by letting go. Both sides were shown with such honesty and poignancy in the story. Chuffed as I am with how dynamically it explored relationships, the story is not without its flaws.

I completely bought into what the characters were feeling and got everything I needed with be invested in the relationships. This reads a lot like a K-drama, and I think most people who like those would like this story. As far as reincarnation, fox spirit, reverse harem, must-marry-or-else fated love stories go, this story is a pretty grounded take.
I know! How can I say that with a straight face? General Bitching I kept following it all year.
