the amount of ppl hating in these comments is deadass ridiculous. "why is she still a child" the story is focused around her being a child. honestly in a lot of manhwas focusing on father-daughter dynamic, the story falls off when she grows up dont even like.
"i dont like tundra being a dog someone tells me when it stops" oh buddy. buddy. he is a guard dog through and through. if you dont like it, stop trying to make the story into something its not and find something else to read. its literally been like this since the beginning, no point in complaining now.
"shes annoying." brother. brother. if you dont like the literal main character, stop reading. ALL the arcs and plot points center around her, because she is the MAIN character. if you dont like her enough to complain you are not doing yourself any favors by continuing to read.
i do agree with those saying the fight was anticlimactic, but i cant say i didnt expect it. this isnt an action/fighting manhwas, its the kind where they EXPLAIN how strong she is and readers just have to take their word for it. thats just the kinda story it is. if you want fighting, read some murim manhwa, trust me they are SOOO good.
yes! my top picks are "heavenly grand archive's young master," "the return of the crazy demon," and "return of the flowery mountain sect." im honestly very picky when it comes to murim manhwa, but these three are honestly gems and are very highly rated. if you pick up any of them lmk!
theres also "I became the Despised Granddaughter of the Powerful Martial Arts Family" which follows a FL and typical rofan-like story but its set in the murim world and has a lot of martial arts. def one of my favs!
Bro why are you cooking so hard rn ;; but it’s so real how some stories just fall off when the mc grows up. I think one of the few that doesn’t is “I’ll be the matriarch in this life” but that’s also cause it’s not father-daughter focused and has an overarching plot and story progressions that don’t feel thrown in or stagnant.
Also, I think a ton of the father-daughter stories lose interest because I think the story starts to focus on the romance and the father literally begins to fade into the background. Like, the father is literally in the title, but I haven’t seen him in 20 chapters?? Give him screen time please ;;
I feel like im the only one who prefers the new art style the only issue i have with it is taekjoos skin tone, but besides that - the anatomy is better, the shading is gorgeous literally every panel, taekjoo is SOOO much more handsome and idgaf about zhenya so idc what he looks like, but personally, i like how he looks more now as well. im not sure what you guys mean by him being twinkified, he looks just as menacing and imo more mature, too. definitely prettier, but not twinkified omg you guys are so mean
IVANTILL MENTION!!! but yeah honestly, going back through the old chapters, there have been plenty of panels and whole chapters where taekjoo is paler than he usually is. i dont think its got anything to do with the new season, i just feel like there are sometimes inconsistencies with his skin tone, which is pretty common for korean works (like hyuna, shes got like 20 different shades but for the most part vivimeng get it right). hopefully with them going outdoors more or in different environments, different lighting = better shading. hopefully, fingers crossed
Well, if we were reading some kind of romance, then this polished artstyle would fit that, but not a story about fucking mafia Every scene is during sunrise/sunset, cuz the artist learned to draw it, so now she's putting it everywhere. Like yeah, the first two scenes might have looked cool, but when every single scene looks like that, it's rather cheap and kinda cringe. Not to mention that if you start something, you have to finish it- like if ¾ of the people are asking you if the artist has changed, then there's probably a problem Or what? If the artist decides to draw completely differently again, will s3 look unrecognizable again? And I'm not even going to talk about how terribly goofy they look during sex, that's really on the level of cheap hentai manga
brother, have you ever considered that peoples art styles change? that as a person grows as an artist, their art grows with them? asking if the artist changed doesnt mean theres a "problem," it means there's a notable difference in the art. whether thats a problem or not is entirely dependent on the reader and you will receive mixed responses from person to person, it is NOT the artists fault for expanding their horizons or dabbling in something new — insulting that is how you stunt an artists growth, by telling them to stay in their lane and only do the things theyve always done. look at literally any long running anime for example — bleach, one piece, naruto; plenty of people can say they enjoyed the og "classic" style of each series, but undeniably the change in art style was an improvement.
from an objective standpoint, no matter your personal feelings, the change in art here reflects growth, not regression. they have improved in lighting, anatomy, facial expressions and perspective, but youre not looking at that. youre upset that you cant view a story the way you want because youre too hung up on how you used to consume it and cant accept change.
that aside...im really not too sure what you mean by goofy facial expressions. they look...good? they honestly look great, im not sure how youre comparing it to hentai if im being honest...there isnt an absurd amount of blush, no cross eyed or tongue sticking out or loud moaning/screaming sfx (things i would consider cheap or hentai), so i really, really dont know what you mean they also only "had sex" one other time in s1, so i feel like theres isnt enough material to compare to and pass judgement on. i guess this is a more personal preference type of thing so i get where youre coming from, maybe im just not seeing it
i also dont get how youre comparing the art style to shoujo or rofan. THIS, i can say with certainty i disagree with, no rofan i know has this amount of mastery over anatomy, nor have faces that are as mature (most of them are very, VERY beautified, even super masculine bear like men look kinda cutesy), as dark environment/shading and muted colors, or have such sharp line art (unless it's the pointy chin curse). i have to believe either you dont actually read much of that genre, or youre so displeased with the change in art style that youre finding anything to nitpick about. i dont understand how you can have such a harsh opinion about a story you indulge in just over the art style, when the art style isnt even bad. its just a little different is all
No, not "a little different" - that's the whole point I'm gonna try summarize it in basic points. The artist changes style - yeah, she changes and it's great that she's learning new things, but this is about consistency. If you start something, you should finish it more or less the same way, not scrap it all cuz you suddenly feel like drawing something different. I haven't read any of the mangas you mentioned, so I can't confirm it 100%, but I'm more or less sure that they didn't change their drawing style as quickly and as drastically as here. And that's not just my opinion - actually read the comments where people think that someone completely different is working on it lmao I'll be able to tell you whether it's an improvement or not the moment every single scene doesn't look like one hoof during sunset/sunrise. Anatomically I would argue a lot about the improvement, about expressions I absolutely disagree. That brings us to the second point - sex scenes. If you like it, then we have nothing to talk about It looks really goofy when she tries to stuff those expressions on more "realistic" looking characters and not cartoonish. I'm laughing non-ironically the whole time at those scenes because I can't take them seriously with those faces. And as for the fact that it's hard to compare - just compare scene where Zhenya is sucking tits in s1 vs s2 and that's just comical. The last thing is that it looks like a romance - I'm not talking about anatomy or idk what, but about how too much polished it is. S1 had such a raw imperfect look that fit the tone of the story. I'll admit that it's a purely personal matter, so yeah, emotionally it feels like a basic average thing. Oh and also - I can have a negative view of the drawing style and at the same time like the story, I don't see why that should be excluded. If thanks to that people on the internet bully an artist back to consistency- then good, criticism should be expressed publicly - especially when I responded to a comment that was just about this lmao
im sure the story is great, its rated 9.6, but can someone tell me if the introduction is intentionally sloppy or not bc wtf? i mean before she regressed. the mls behavior is honestly really confusing and kinda pmo
why was she locked up for so long when he claims he literally started the rebellion for her? she was already well received by other homunculi, so why did he not take her out of prison right away? its evidently been a while, considering the sister is heavily "pregnant" and id assume that experiment would have only began after he became king. so like, 6-8 months maybe? and hes kept her locked up all that time, without telling her or reassuring her she wouldnt be executed? without letting her talk to other people? without letting her work or yk bare minimum have a court case to prove that she was on the homunculi side to crush any opposition for her pardon, if there even was any? is he supposed to be portrayed like this? right now, i cant tell if hes possessive/obsessive, or just fucking stupid.
He might have gotten her pregnant before the rebellion since in the past he was her knight and alluded to them doing alot but did it to further his goals. Also we dont know how far along she actually is we assume its far because of how big it is but as he puts it itd an experiment nobody has ever conceived a child with a homunculus

Also we dont know how far along she actually is we assume its far because of how big it is but as he puts it itd an experiment nobody has ever conceived a child with a homunculus and we dont know what affect the philosophers stone has on her for her to even get pregnant. As for y she wasnt pardoned it wasnt like she was put in a prison cell but probs kept the others contact on her to a minimum cuz of jealousy since he wanted her to pick him but didnt want to ask that of her if she wasnt saying it on her own. If he was willing uprise and take over the throne in order to obtain her id imagine he has no quals about not wanting to release her from him even if he knows shes innocent. We see in a flashback he originally couldn't even come to terms with the fact he desired her so its no wonder it went down this route. And its not like we the reader know exactly what Rosie was to him or her treatment. So for all we know she could have been forbidden to go out as well but since she got THE homunculus king (and future king) she could have been fine being confined thinking they are in love. Even when he sends her away she can't believe he's doing this to her because of Eve. In other historical romances when there is an uprising usually causes alot of chaos and can take awhile to restore public order and it probs took even longer since we see homuculus are exclusive to royalty but even in other regions and to others were still regarded as sub human
im really trying not to drop this right now because the story is amazing....but i HATE the change in the artist. literally wtaf it looks so bad — im sure the actual artist themself is doing their best and its not a BAD bad style, but there is clearly a difference in experience between the two. plus, the art style really determines how characters are viewed.... its so rigid now, the expressions are barely there, and my cute ml is no longer an adorable lost puppy but this thing instead
wait so ryuchung is the ml? honestly i dont mind either way, i really like both him and yayul and im enjoying seeing how both of their dynamics grow.
honestly tho, in most of these stories, the kind of character ryuchung is most often ends up being the secondary ml, and its sad because i always love them soooo much like the more abrasive, teasing, tsundere-ish personality. its one of my favorite male character types, but i cant think of a single story with that type being the ml. im not sure if too many people will agree with me, but imo its a breath of fresh air for the type-B-personality to be the main love interest! i fully welcome it











too many shying away from fluffy now. yes, a dog before, but he has human intelligence and thus the ability to consent. it may be too much for YOU, but dramatical murder prepared me for this. im ready
The “ I’m ready “ is killing me. This is some crazy ass thinking
Lmaoo the last part like shes gonna enlist in military
I thought fluffy as just another human turned animal that was the explanation set by the story. I just figured the dog was a visual representation of how lil A sees him. But that might explain the severe lack of vocalization.
