Hey so there's demons in this manwha, and there's also no specific period. it's a bit of a mix of periods, georgian, regency and victorian. eleven if it was a specific period, it's pretty accurate, even the flare under the vest
Well if we use our thinking caps we can realize this is fictional and not based of any specific time period from history.
Well if we use our thinking caps for a bit longer we can also realise that fiction takes inspiration from real experience and events. This is historical fantasy and if you have ever written any time of material you can realise that you need to do some type of research into the subject matter. Using modern clothes in a historical setting, is lazy not imaginative just because this is fiction.
Ok so make ur own
maybe the author didn't have time to draw the intricate outfits maybe they just didnt want to maybe they just thought it was ugly it really is not that serious
It’s called historical fantasy for a reason. I’m just as passionate about historical accuracy as the next person, but only if it’s really important to the story (e.g the story revolves around revolutionising the tea industry or whatnot). This story is has fantastical elements like knights and dragons and demons, so I think having some mashup between the typical fantasy garbs we’ll see in media like game of thrones and a modern day look would be fine.
What? I couldn't tell if you never told me! Okay jokes aside, like my issue isn't even the historical inaccuracies it's how the clothes are oddly reminiscent to me of Taobao/Shein clothes. It's way too modern for my taste breaks the immersion for me. Especially the hunting outfit straight outta some fashion tiktok bloggers account. JAIL or in Anne of Green Gables words, leaves no scope of imagination. I want authors to fuck around and play with colours and high fashion. Like make my brain itch. GIVE ME MORE
You forget that she's not originally from this time. These clothing changes are also connected to the changes in her personality and how she finally has more of it. Before she wore gaudy boring dresses that got damaged af when they were traveling. She smartened up and learned to wear pants and a light jacket.
This isn't exactly just a "historical fantasy". Its also high-fantasy. She has to stand out or else she just looks like every other boring character.
I swear this author is clothes blind or something, because why does she dress the MC in these kpop-type outfits??? Her "hunting" outfit looks like she's about to go do a meet-and-greet and then perform her new hit single on stage. Nothing about her outfit matches the time period (づ￣ ³￣)づ
