it seems really weird that we get like 3 panels total of the mc's shock of having KILLED SOMEONE. WTF. why did she move on that quickly? why did no one run to the princess to check if she's really dead? even before the stage was set on fire there was enough time for some adult to come. and why tf is mc so chill? she just killed her first friend? no child is gonna be okay after that??
I mean she is a reincarnated adult.
Also, since the beginning, she has been completely fine after seeing and being through traumatic situations. I feel like her not reacting strongly is a part of her weird powers. Maybe a filter of some sort? Like kim dokja in ORV
first of all, she's not a reincarnated adult. she was a child who passed away of sickness in the modern world. also kim dokja's fourth wall thing is entirely different and is there from the beginning, while her only powers so far have been getting visions. and while exploring more of her powers would be interesting, she should at least notice smth about how off her whole reaction to it is. something like "why don't I feel anything?" or "she died at my hands..." with a grim look on her face was the bare minimum tbh, but all we get is her shock but that's about it, no guilt, no second thought
True thatt
Also about orv, i meant as in she views them as ‘characters' maybe?
Well it is unsettling that she glossed over it so fast. But she is also fine with the fact that her dad kills ppl.
I feel like death is a very normalised concept for the mc, so she just filtered out the actual feeling of guilt
Also, it did bother me that no one checked on the princess.
There were SOOOO many ppl there. How tf not even one person confirmed if she was fine? Bruh
Feels more like a forced plot by the author
oh agreed, makes sense. but her dad is only supposed to kill murderers though. that's the reason why she makes him let go the twins, because they are murderers with a justification. I'm sorry I don't mean to disrespect you by constantly correcting shit, I'm just a nitpicky person with a tendency to remember details
exactly. even when stabbed people don't die/stop breathing immediately. and not to mention, magic exists in this world. like c'mon man pathetic adults smh
She wasn’t a child in the modern world when she passed away, she looked like a teen at the very least. Add to that her age in this world, she could very well be an adult in mind. And doesn’t she just find it suspicious? Obviously she’s far more intelligent than a normal child, be it due to recantation or just a bad writing of u want to go that way. It’s not the first time she acts beyond her age (makes sense to me, as like I said, she didn’t seem to be a child to me when she passed). And here, after all they made sure that their knife is fake beforehand, maybe she’s in denial and wants to confirm first, the circumstances are suspicious after all. People react differently to death and grief and for a LOT of people it takes a while to even realize it/accept it. Many take years to accept it or see it as reality
I don’t understand why her parents of all people didn’t check or at the very least send someone. She’s a princess after all, kinda shows the neglect she talked about before
Bruh issok XD. Why is it disrespectful?
We in a very serious discussion XD
Also yeah i agree. Murder with justification is excuse able. Just that MC has plot armour~~ which ofc, includes the ability to not be fazed by murder
is it bad that literally the only most memorable plot line for me till now has been Duchess Blueport's rampage. They did one unique thing in the beginning and then let it all go for a generic fl-saves-all plot.
Hoping theh make an aseras redemption arc,, that would be so cool and redeeming for his character..
its genuinely sad how so many goddamn comics these days are degrading their unique art style to make it more mainstream so it "sells" more. because that's the only explanation. from this one to "The princess imprinted the traitor" and "Lucia" it's setting me off istg. the worst part is that they are trying so hard and still failing terribly by getting basic proportions wrong. I'm saying this as someone studying art. how are the proportions so off? what happened to the art from chapter 1? god so frustrating
I agree a lot of them do look the same, but for this story I don't quite agree though. I think the art style sets it apart and it has been fairly consistent throughout (although I may agree with you that they have gone more simple especially in the backdrops albeit only a little). I would, however, not compare to chapter 1 (sometimes 0) in any of those stories, as the initial chapter usually is the one to sell and impress. Sometimes it is even made by a different artist. I'd rather go by ch5-10 as comparison to later chapters.
If you want to see a story with different art choices may I suggest 'I'll Save this Damn Family!' - not the prettiest, but I find it darn charming once I got used to it.
On the proportions I am fine with what I see in this story, but then I am not as well versed in those matters. I would rather say: If I start to notice the proportions being off in a story, then that is usually one of the last art issues to be concerned about...
Peace! :)
I have to confess that I do notice these things rather quickly- especially when the proportions are just off, because I have been trained to do it right. and while I get your point about chp 1 being typically better/different art, for this story, sadly im not just comparing chp 1 I'm comparing it till mostly duchess blueport story line, which is a decent chapters in.
I distinctly remember being mesmerised at the duchess' face reveal because the art and the story were carrying so well together. but recently, maybe it's the translations being shit (the harimanga{?} ones?) along with the 360p panels that I end up truly feeling like it's degraded, especially with how even the storyline has become somewhat convoluted.
also random but I have read so many stories with a changed art style but good storyline (The princess imprints the traitor), you should check that out!
I think that is a fair point you noticing proportions with you having an art background. But I also get your point on the duchess blueport (that was truely a wonderful story arc) and the art development in later chapters.
If I may talk outside the proportions topic and just look at the general development during stories, I think this is not solely down to the artist. Sometimes the story material is lacking after the initial big arc, but also over time I imagine it to be quite taxing on the art team to keep up the initial high standard in the art alone (people, costumes, backdrops, etc.), especially seeing how many releases are once per week over multiple years with a few months hiatus (where work is actually done on the next season). Without actually *knowing* I would imagine the team having to take shortcuts or learn tricks to make it *seem* the same but simpler. People like me are usually none the wiser, but readers like you with art training, I imagine have an additional pain rather than 'just' the one from story degration. So I'll probably stick my neck out here a bit but I think there might be a difference in making a few panels or chapters to going all in to keeping the same, unchanged quality over multiple seasons.
May I ask - have you seen the same fall in art quality in a story, if it is around just 10-20 chapters? (not that I remember seeing many of those, if we're talking manwha styled ones)
That leads me to my overall view on story progression - I usually make my final verdict after ch 50 - can the story keep momentum? If I do notice a lowered art quality, I shudder to think what a pair of art trained eyes see. If the story keep that special style / small quirks that carried the story initially, I'll expect them to be there later on as well.
...yeah, I am easy to keep happy (￣∇￣")
And totally agree with you on this: 'I have read so many stories with a changed art style but good storyline'. There is one story (title escapes me atm), first season decent, slightly different style from usual cookie cutter styled characters. Then they changed artist (I think). In the end I hated the art, but the story was good. The story you mention, I think I started reading, buuut... probably got lost somewhere, as I have way too many series I'm kinda keeping track of :D :D
Anyways, sorry for my kinda rambling. I think I'll go reread that Blueport story arc, while waiting for the next big character to show actually himself in the story (I ahve been waiting for that for quite some time now ;) )
bruh why can't side stories just be happy. what's the point of a story after an epilogue if it was such an important plot point just add in it the actual story I hate it sm when they do this shit
I feel like we need to let go of the concept that everyone deserves a happy ending of some sort. because that's what this feels like. haven't even read the novel and that makes much more sense than this, and am gonna be really disappointed if the artist decides to make cliff and og reese(?) end up together.
I agree in part. But I think it would be unfair not to give OG Reese a happy ending because she didn't do any of the bad things. The author was the evil one and depending on whether OG Reese saw it all or whether it was as if she had been sleeping, she is also a victim. Because she had no control over her body, that's why I think she actually deserved a happy ending. But apart from all the characters in the story. So like a new beginning. But Cliff definitely doesn't deserve a happy ending because he supported all of the author's bad deeds. And I hope (but don't think OG Reese has feelings for Cliff in her situation) that they don't get together. And that OG Reese finds new love and friends or something.
But I thought cliff went in the real world for author??(⊙⊙? ) ......am I going crazy that I see more than few people say the same thing
Isn't it basically impossible for cliff x og Reese to be together because he is no more?
The thing is, it wouldn’t be unfair because OG reeze only exists in the manhwa. In the novel, OG reeze was not even a thing. They recently added it to the manhwa that she existed.
it's so funny how he deadass knows him and the other one are the hottest guys in the department
True
everything is good it just disturbs me a bit that she looks so small like her proportions are literally that of a lowkey child man WHY
Children don't have brests like that. Chill tf out. If she was flat as a board ye maybe ill see your point
Short women exists bruh. And most women like having height gaps as well. Chill out.
I disagree. I actually think she looks more realistic in terms of proportions than most other smutty manhwa. Most women have boobs that size, rather than the huge ones you see in the webtoons.
Yes it’s actually one of my favorite things about this one. It’s a very realistic body. It’s so refreshing to see. I’ve read a lot of these and this may be the first one to not have an over volumptious body.
sorry y'all I take my words back it was really a chronically online take
novel readers who finished it how long do you think it will take for the whole story to finish as the webtoon? we are like 5 years in and have covered around 220 chapters, and the total chapters are around 551? so 6 more years? with taking hiatus' for rest by the artists around 2030? 2031?
Probably the same time kdj finished the novel which is 13 years LMAO
The possibillity is highhh
LoL, that would be so funny, a decade of your life reading such a good story, good times(▰˘◡˘▰)
NAHHHHH FRFR and the moment you finish the last scene of the webtoon a dokkaebi gonna show up and a cutscene will start
honestly I would BECOME dokja, this shit would become the only consistent exciting thing in my boring life
(≧∀≦)
