I'm on chapter nine and I can't keep going. It's so infuriating. He gets assaulted, his magic is unfairly sealed and people keep dragging him along as they please, yet it's treated as something mildly annoying. Does his seal ever get undone?????? Or is he just at the mercy of those who mistreat him for the rest of his life??
I only made it to chapter 7 and I'm dreading reading anymore of this. Why are we supposed to be okay with this?
When he was living in seclusion in the first part, it was easy. Sure, he was given a terrible deal and mistreated but at least he was able to live the life he wanted. He seemed very happy and independent. Now he's just a tool, an MP potion in the form of an onahole... And everyone acts like it's not a big deal. He even acts like it's not a big deal.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.
When you address them as seme and uke in the comments, I have no idea who you're going on about. Anyway.
I believe they're reasonable adults and will switch based on odd/even calendar weeks.
if you read the comments, their positions are literally confirmed. the boxer is a top
"I believe they're reasonable adults and will switch based on odd/even calendar weeks." This is such a weird thing to say, because some people irl are strict bottoms/tops, not everybody is a switch and insinuating that they're not "reasonable adult" if they don't switch is just bizarre and shows that you don't really respect people preferences tbh
I'm mainly surprised that while taking my comment at face value, you focused on the reasonable adults part.
As though I was seriously suggesting that they check the fucking calendar to decide who's get dicked down.
"Blimey! I got myself all cleaned up down there, forgetting it's Monday. Oh well, this week I'm on the top duty".
did you not read my comment? stop treating switching as something every gay person does. that was my point, idk how you missed it and as the person above me said, their positions are confirmed so anyway...
Did you not read mine?? I'm sorry for trying to soften the message with sarcasm, I'll speak clearly:
I was calling you a dumbass for taking an obvious joke seriously, as not a single person alive genuinely believes that people decide sex position based on if it's an even or odd week of the year.
I don't care who's the bottom. I don't care if they switch. And I don't even mean that in a snooty "I don't give a shit about this manga" way, I mean that I'm fine with whatever the author decides to do!
I made a joke about how it's confusing to refer to them by sexual positions, when they haven't even had sex then. To idiot-proof my comment, I added a hyperbolic remark about the most ridiculous way to settle top/bottom discourse.
I didn't reply to the other person's comment, because it's just an informative fine comment. I reiterate: It does not upset me in any way that the boxer is the top, that they do not switch nor that some people don't switch.
If you even bother reading this comment, I genuinely do not know what you can be upset at, now that I've so nicely pointed out the joke, and that I do not in fact control the other gay people in my life, if they make sure to switch every week. Hooray!
They're sho cuteeee
Also Christ, Lysbett is looking rough. I love how the artist gradually showed it, instead of just making her really sickly in a later chapter.
I know a lot of people don't like Lysbett, but I do genuinely believe she cares about Sylhan. Perhaps she won't do anything to make his situation better, but there's a certain shithead next-in-line, who would make his situation much worse. However incompetent Lysbett seems, she's serving as a shield for Sylhan in Khalak.
poop vs shit
ROMANTIC FEELINGS CONFIRMED POG POG
I still don't think they'll get together, but bittersweet one sided love is exactly where I think the story should have lead, it'd be nonsensical to make it about just platonic love
This is not a complaint at all, in fact, it was a highlight of the manga for me, but somewhere around the second chapter I was overtaken by this intense feeling of "Himekawa seems kind of dull-headed".
Like I can't even say if the author wanted to make him seem like a secretive character who can play up a role to get what he wants, because he was so empty-headed to me
Again, not complaining at all, imagining Himrkawa's two braincells working overtime to get out any reaction was extremely funny to me. 10/10
Whhhhdhdgrgr. Obviously, the realization that Yvonne is a doppelganger in every ending is a huge thing, as it means that all the cruel deaths Penelope faces in the games might not have been the fault of the characters alone. But. Idk.
My last comment on this manhwa was how happy I am that Penelope has someone on her side, but idk now. Like we've only caught brief glances at what kind of person the real Penelope was, yet the fact that she is so destroyed that her soul crumbled into nothing is so sad to me. Usually, I don't really like it when villainess manhwas do the "the og villainess was always the good one secretly!" thing, but here it works, because it just drives further the point of how alone Penelope always was. Yvonne recognized her, said that Penelope tried to stop her before and I'm thinking about how many times she tried to save everyone and no one believed her.
I never hoped the original Penelope would come back, but I assumed her death was more like falling asleep, them being worn down until there's nothingeft. ARGDHEHHSHAHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU PENELOPE I LOVE THEM BOTH AAAAAAGGHHHHUHU
Anyway on a less sappy note, the reason why this scene works on an emotional level is because the author masterfully build up the relationship between our Penelope and the og Penelope (OgP) from the start. Penelope sympathized with how along OgP must've felt, she refused to accept any apologies that OgP was meant to get and she tried to get OgP's will across, when it mattered. If Penelope never gave a shit about her, if she forgave those who hurt OgP for the sake of building relationships with them and if she constantly thought of her as an idiot, this scene would've meant nothing.
To sum it up: Duchess 50 tea recipes or whatever the fuck could learn a thing or two from this about how to set up important plot points early on
The art style is so magical, like opening a fairytale book when you're a little kid
I sort of avoided this for a while, because I thought the alcohol centric plot wouldn't really be my thing, but it's so good!! Not even good just in general, the alcohol is used amazingly in this!!! It works so well as a metaphor for queerness here arhggggh. Amazing art 10000/10
People are complaining about Courtney neglecting Richard and I find that bizarre. I guarantee you that half of the readers minimum are obsessed with villainess/historical romance manhwas and mangas one here as much as I am, so it makes me wonder, do you decide if you like characters based on if the main characters smile or frown around them???
Like it's such a common trope to make "the new crown princess" be a stupid irresponsible woman, who neglects her duties to indulge the crown prince. It's as common as publicly denouncing the mc at the ball. Yet here it bothers you?? She's doing everything she can to not be neglecting her role c'mon.
Also Richard is a grown man, he could communicate to a virgin noble woman that he's into anal. He can try to ask his wife to give him more attention.
100%. especially the part that richard should be a man and should say that he wants to be pegged.
CLOCK IT! Acting like Richard doesn’t also have things to do but always leaves then to his assistant, while she’s busting her ass doing her work HERSELF (with help of course, but ykwim).
I know they do love each other, but in the last couple of chapters it feels like the chemistry completely ran dry. There's no tention or harmony, just shame and embarrassment.
Well that happened irl. When you suddenly married to your friend, collegues,office buddy that you not dating before. Its awkward as fuck. Even to the people around.
