Wild how this is still so good after so many years. Also, it's a strange feeling when "the end" is really the end, like no side stories or extras. Kinda refreshing.
Ugh this new arc is so momentum breaking. The early seasons established the world, romance between Albis and MC, and the potential conflict with yandere Vercion - getting the audience invested in the established characters. Then you just whisk away one half and to this new place and establish even more characters! It's all so exhausting and diverges from the existing emotional build up. It's not like the introduction of the ex is a bad thing, but all this could have happened later on instead of right this instant.
I think vercion changing instantly was weird af like no buildup just*boom* Look! he's no longer a rapist! Like nahh
I think the author is going for more of a harem vibe at least for now, so introducing a buncha new characters in a new location was needed for that since the chemistry with albis was too good lolol
I think he only "changed" bc he doesn't feel as threatened here (at least for now lmao) so he's not "acting out", hurting our bb god
I forget this is essentially harem. If he starts sleeping with the ex, imma cough my liver out...
How do you make the least likeable couple of all time? Sanho is a maxed-volume radio tsundere and Tak is moving piece of drywall. There's no chemistry and reading about their "romance" is like swallowing razor blades and lemon juice. I can't with these two! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
My brain is going haywire. Author gives her a ridiculously super cute face and she/the world goes "boring, dull, NPC." I don't even understand anymore... (〜￣△￣)〜
Well, if the kid's still here, I don't mind if he keeps watching ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Man these kids are hella blind. She is a drop dead gorgeous girl! Is it weird that I actually can't see the princely or manly aspect?!
i believe its just the art style. or maybe its just that she's tall and has short hair + seems unapproachable
This girl is so real with how desperate she was trying to get back to her world. Like, if I was stuck in a world with a bunch of delulu guys, zero women's rights and violence from magic and literal swords, HELL YEAH I would work my butt off to get back home! Power to our girl! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
So adorbs!!! Also, my babies are way too okay about seeing a ghost (⊙…⊙ )
Oh man, the ex reminds me of many old school couples who just start priotising other things besides each other. They stay together because it's easy, but it's also easy to be complacent. It's like you divorced each other slowly and painfully. That's showing your love for each other regularly and consistently is more important that grand gestures only on specific days (like Valentine's). Because once you lose that, you have nothing left.
I only just started reading this and I can say with full confidence that the characters are so god damn interesting, and the way the author subverts expectations at some turns, it's just such a breath of fresh air. THIS is how you write morally ambiguous characters baby!!! The backstories behind their motivations, how their actions betray their true desires, my lawd this is some good shit.
Unfortunately, when I came to hype about the story, I also learnt about the hate that's being directed to the author. I personally don't believe the author is doing anything that warrants death threats and unsolicited messages of similar intent. Homophobia? I see a narrative that tries to showcase homophobia of the masses and not the author themselves. Rather ironically, a similar sort of intolerance, herd mentality, and quick judgement/violence that has been portrayed by the antagonists is now being directed to the author by individuals who have not taken the time to fully understand the message of the story.
People will grab on to anything these days in their confused state of what problematic content means, obsessed with proving how they are righteous by "protecting" themselves or others in the form of vile and senseless attacks against creators or people who enjoy said content, who've NEVER exhibited the problematic behaviour they're being accused of. There are plenty of dangers and issues to be aware and protected from, but instead of properly identifying them, as a society we're more focused on being reactionary and susceptible to fear-mongering.Sad.
"subvert expectations" that's the word I have been missing!! The author does it quiet a few times and it's done great. Found myself rooting for certain things to happen and then when it happened I wish it didn't happen after all
I wonder if this is some of form of poor literacy or that we as a society no longer value activities that strike a healthy debate. We have the whole world's wealth on information within our pockets yet we do not take the time to research, understand and form our own deep thoughts. Instead we are so quick to judge and make judgement. Maybe I am the same for generalising society but I truly feel a little sad that we have not progressed much from our witch hunting and lynching days.
