thank you for articulating it so well i was like the character work is there, the flow of writing is there, the plot development and background reveals are there, its all there, but WHY is this punk ass the male lead?!?!?

EXACTLY like don't put in rest of the effort if you are not gonna follow through fully

YES THANK U I HATE THE BLACK HAIRED DUDE I DIDNT EVEN BOTHER REMEMBERING HIS NAME

Dude wants to be punished so bad. He is greedy af. Like in a sense I find it annoying, because he is manipulating and disobeying his master. He is not fully submissive. It is good, but also bad. Like talk it out with her instead of doing this. But I guess they are a young couple. I hope we see them kinda mature as a couple in this season.

i think that's the plot conflict they are setting up. in season 1 you see FL say "finally the distinction between dog and master have become clear" but I think that's just it, only the positions are clear. the master has yet to fully tame the dog, the dog is yet to fear it's master's anger and I think that's what they are gonna take on in this season

looking forward to thatttt woohoo(づ￣ ³￣)づ

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

(≧∀≦)

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

Hoping theh make an aseras redemption arc,, that would be so cool and redeeming for his character..

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 ;) )
