I’m legit scared. I also feel so bad for MC in general. If he gets murdered by the ML, I hope he reincarnates into those found family isekai stories. If y’all need to bleach your minds try “ Recovery of an MMO Junkie” similar story but no murder or toxic elements. BG. Green flag ML.
I see the grey skin. Usually grey undertones represent zombie or undead characters. I’ve also never seen a person with grey undertones. Even if there was a rare community with this characteristic, I highly doubt the author intended to represent them.
So, I can understand why people are upset. Considering in the make up industry darker skin, like very dark skin, people have difficulty finding shades due to people assuming they have unrealistic undertones.
Tbh, I don’t think the author is racist. At least the design so far isn’t. Trust me I can tell. I wouldn’t even have said more than “he’s grey ” if there wasn’t so much commotion. I’ve seen worse in y’all favorite series and then everyone is suddenly blind.
In general fandoms prioritize the illusion of a perfect unproblematic series over a communities actual concerns.
Thank you. I doubt the author is stupid enough to not know what brown skin is. I’m sure she meant for this character to have this tone, and not a real representation of dark/brown skin toned people.
I don’t think I’m racist if I make fictional characters with red skin (I mainly do it for goddess OCs or gods lmao, it’s fun and I like my imagination coming alive) or blue skin, sometimes green for nature.
Last sentence. So true. They always focus on the less problematic things. I don’t mind the dislike towards the skin but hopefully the hate ain’t strong to the point of dropping the story.
I personally don’t think it’s a big deal, unless we know that the author is trying to represent real dark skin people but sucked at it, that’s another situation.
Just realized his nipple is brown and darker than his skin tone, definitely author knows what brown is and meant for this gray skin prob for aesthetics.
I’m very sure the author intended for this to be a dark skin person. He is brown with a grey undertone. Either they are not familiar with drawing darker skin or it was a stylistic choice. Maybe they saw it somewhere else and liked it. But someone like Debbie from DEK is a fantasy skin color, that might be POC coded.
Not to say what the author did here cannot be problematic, I just wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s racist. The author could be, but not from this character design. Also this skin color despite the awkward undertone, is darker than what I usually see.
This is not Mihoyo. My expectations for an artist or small studio that’s probably just tried their hands at drawing darker skin and a multi billion dollar company are different. Also, the scale of slight is massively different. I’ve been playing that damn game since 2021. That’s shit pissed me off so bad I deleted it on all platforms. I don’t play Honkai, ZZZ, or anything else. I hope Mihoyo goes bankrupt.
Still, I think people are entitled to their own thoughts. If they feel the grey skin choice was racist and wanna drop they can. Or if they simply didn’t like it, that’s fine, I’ve dropped stories for less.
I’ll just assume it’s a stylistic choice. I don’t know why people act like that’s not something author could be doing, could be for aesthetic purposes. Lmaoo so real on the hope mihoyo goes bankrupt, unfortunately people love gacha.
I feel that he’s just as unhinged as the rest, he was just more honest about it. It was also more consensual than the others because she knew everything and still chose him.
I decided to reread this from chapter 1 and was hit by the new art style. I prefer the old art style. The vibe MC was giving has changed, I kind of don’t like it. He feels more shiny than soft if that makes sense.
I think I’ll take a little break and then start from season 2.
I kinda get it, to me it felt like it lost the whimsy. I really miss the chibis too.
i feel that way too, the crayon lineart felt very cosy and comfortable but the new art is still really pretty, we'll probably lose the gags and jokes in exchange for a fancier artstyle
there's definitely a better quality in the shading and probably proportions as well but I'm gonna miss those gags and fluffiness :')
I agree with you. For me old art style was one of the things why I liked this story so much! It was different, distinguishable and made characters more interesting. The new one is... pretty, but that's it, it lacks originality. The characters give off completely different vibes.
I can agree with the different vibes, Christelle does not feel like the same person and Jesse does feel less lovable. Still hold in there for the story!
They just made a cliche villainess story into a BL. Also, I dislike how MC described the og person as arrogant and selfish for wanting his husband’s attention, but doesn’t mention how cruel the ML is to think of one of his partners as dispensable.
I took a break from this and was considering picking it back up only to be bombarded by Vercion hate. My fave character is that servant that always mind his business but I didn’t particularly hate or like Vercion. I do think I passed the chapter were Vercion went wild on the MC, but all the characters except that servant and his boo is toxic, especially the MC.
He literally masqueraded as a god becoming a cult leader to coerce people, HOLY MEN, into having sex with him. Even if we look past the toxic love interests he still manipulated innocent mob characters into sex with him.
I’m not defending Vercion because he was wrong but why does the MC get a free pass? And I know about his tragic backstory, the whole cast got one. And as seen victims sometimes cope by becoming the perpetrators but since when did that excuse anything.
I think it's cause tho what mc and vercion did are technically the same vercion is controlling and becomes violent whereas the MC is really only in it for the sex and will stop if it gets too far
Again not excused and they are both toxic but people generally are far more against violence and controlling behavior
I see why you’re saying because physical violence is more eye catching. However, I think you can argue MC has already taking it very far and widespread cult manipulation is way worse than individual violence.
You are correct but also the cult already existed so he didn't build it up and again you ain't wrong
Right! And since I have you here, is this worth picking back up?
No, it’s just sex all over again (upcoming). I mean if you don’t mind a lot of smut, it’s okay. I feel like the plot got lost somewhere or just delayed hard.
Just animals fucking. And I agree so much, MC is the #1 manipulator, so I can’t really feel bad for
him as he’s the one who’s been making the guys think sex (without teaching consent) is worship.
No not really I'm invested tho so even tho I don't care for any of the characters I'm really curious if the new god is actually the mcs ex or not but no this shit is tedious I thought and slow cause the plot progression is slow due to horny
Due to horny. So real
From ch1 I didn’t except much plot, I don’t know when that changed for me, maybe it’s time I cut my losses
Yeah, I’m going let it drop then
All the shit you did to him…and this is too far for you. The one thing that not directly your fault. It’s whatever I guess
Because what do you mean EVERYONE knew my plan and was just playing along
dawg id be ready to end myself right there
Ikr I'd pretend to faint becuz that's so embarrassing
I was surprised girly didnt actually just faint herself out of embarrassment lmao
no bc that’s so embarrassing I’d kms ngl
