I love how heated you got about the sword
I KNOW! Like out of all the things that could have triggered you, unexpectedly it’s the sword
The artist probably doesn't know much about swords?
basic research is key tho
I knowwwww, it got me so triggered like, what kind of grip is that?? You don't need to know pretty much anything to be aware that if you hold a sword like that and use it, your fingers might as well break xD
Right?? I know nothing about fencing but it was so blatantly obvious. It really ruins any sort of ties to reality this has and it ruins the immersion. She also like..just picks up the sword after losing 100lbs in like 2 months and is suddenly perfect at it?
Isn't she a fencer in her previous life, she has a background on handling a sword, posture, and stuff?
Lol one of the things I pointed out was that fencing and sword fighting are very different and the skills needed to excel at each are not the same. If she had been a star wars fanatic and played with lightsabers, she would have had a better skill set than fencing would have given her.
I thought I was the only one bothered by the sword and sorry, half assed fight scene... The author or artist probably had more assistants in her previous work
i'm bothered of how they drew the sword but welp, this isn't an action manhwa anyways, could've execute better.
That SWORD is anatomically INCORRECT. Okay I have words. First, she's holding it like an épée, even though it's shaped like a saber? It's got that giant loop, and you're supposed to grip the handle under the loop. It's supposed to protect your hand from someone swinging at the handleee If it's just decorative, then the loop actively impedes her ability to grip it properly?? Like her hand is squished above it. The artist did draw the hand in the proper holding position, but again, it's not correct for that type of sword. ALSO. The thing is WAY too big. The blade is WAY too thick, and the handle is WAY too long. Also what's with that complement on her sword fighting posture? Fencing is about agility?? And it's primarily stabbing not slashing. She would not be able to compare to the actually useful forms of parrying and slashing since a real fencing saber is way too thin to hold up to the classic longsword. And did I mention the handle size?? Okay the grip on that is waaay too large. It's got the handle and length of a two-handed longsword yet she's swinging it around with one tiny little hand barely just pinching onto that sliver of space above the loop. Unrealistic and unresearched to the max. I appreciate the effort behind trying to logically explain her talent with the sword. But fencing and your standard soldier swordsmanship, are just too different for her skill to carry over. I really hope the author got critique after posting this chapter and made modifications to the design. Bc really. The way she holds it just looks stupid. If you want an idea about what real fantasy fencing is, google a few videos of Asuna, from Sword Art Online to see how she fights and how she holds her sword. Also just the plain scale of it.
This has been a self-indulgent rant. Thank you very much. I don't actually give a shit about any of this, but the author really tripped themselves. Imo（￣へ￣）
