Our protags are sooooo cute. I love their relationship.
That's fucking depressing. Amazingly done, gorgeously written and drawn, but God, how depressing. Remilia doesn't love him and he doesn't really love her. What they share, what allows them to stay together whether Angel knows it or not, is how much they love Emi. Oh goooood. She loves her so much. The closest she comes to loving another, is when she can most accurately act like Emi and be loved for it.Sorry, I keep repeating myself, but she just loves Emi so much. Nothing compares. I love this story and it's the greatest gl on here, whether it's intended to be read that way or not.
It's Emi that disappeared, yet it's Remilia that isn't allowed to exist, except on the edge of existence itself. Remilia can't ever exist, because that alone would feel like a betrayal of Emi, which Remilia can't live with.
There's still this tiny bit of hope hidden in her dialogue though. Before we get into the whole rebirthing Emi thing she talked about how Emi became a part of her, admitting she might still be with her. To me it was not only speaking about it in a literal soul-esque sense but also from a point where this ideal of Emi's Remilia started to become a part of Remilia herself. Her love may not be as unconditional as Emi's but it is still there. It learned to be there because Emi taught it to Remilia. What may have started with honouring Emi's Remilia has evolved into doing the right thing because she simply wants to be good.
I think Remilia's and Angel's relationship will get to a point where Remilia can truly realize that while Angel learns to love the real Remilia. It's simply that if Remilia is supposed to get with anyone they have to first like Emi, otherwise it's just not working out lmao.
At least that's my hopeful take on it. It's still highkey depressing though because no way you twist it Remilia's and Emi's love for each other is tragic.
Good art ig, but why does she have to act like a nine year old with ADHD
Bc it’s written by a man that’s never met a woman
I assumed so, but someone was complimenting this as being obviously written by a woman so I have no idea. Anyway I don't care if a character in your porn manhwa has massive tits, just let her act like an adult.
Yeah, no.. no woman would willingly make a character that’s got the mentality of a child the art might’ve been done by a woman, but this story is screaming man. Like the witch is cute as hell don’t get me wrong, but it’s sad she’s so brainless
GREAT CENTRED SEQUEL IS COMING OUT!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAATFHHAHAHAJAAAAAA
I know this is a stupid thing to complain about, but I wish manhwa art styles looked half as good as the cover. I'm not talking about the rendering, the shading or the details (though I've seen artists accomplish those), but about the proportions and faces. Like when I'm notified this updated, the first thing I see is this charming picture of a enigmatic yet cute noble lady and then I open the chapter and they all look like the most generic nothing characters.
I get what you mean... the cover illustrations tend a bit more to realistic style than full comic... those are usually the novel covers. And while I agree that it looks a hundred times better... it's also harder to draw and takes more time... If with a 1 chapter per week pace we take a couple yeard to finish a comic based in novel... imagine with such detailed art style?
On that note... Lord of Mysteries is getting a remake on this more realistic style... so check it out, you might like it.
And the award for the most out of touch story of the century goes to!!!!
Seriously, I don't mind turning my brain off for these sorts of things. Host club story? Sure, I don't care that it's an industry where sex workers cyclically emotionally manipulate each other into debt, it's just a story. Medieval master/slave story? If their dynamic and themes of the story are interesting enough, I can turn off the part of my brain that wonders how the rest of their world works. Yakuza story? Well, the aesthetic of an honorable yet dangerous institution are cool enough for me to stop thinking about how they actually make their money and how it impacts their communities.
What pisses me off is how...cute it's trying to be? Nobody would have given a shit if it was mindless porn. Nobody forced the author to give their human trafficking smut manga an uwu kawaii spin. Oh, the dude that went to buy a literal human being was moved by how the overseer gave the product a fucking blanket??? How nice.
If I'm making a larger point about BL manga in general, the thing that breaks my immersion the most is the crossing between cruel and wholesome motives. If I'm reading a fucked up story, I'm not clutching my pearls when the characters do horrific stuff to each other. When I read Harada's work, I can't really make any assumptions about the author, except that he likes writing dark fucked up stories.
HOWEVER. If I'm reading a "wholesome", "green flag", romance manga and in the mid point of the story main love interest assaults the protagonist, it's worse. Even if it happens once and they're fine together afterwards, just by the mere fact of including this horrible thing in an otherwise cute manga, it becomes more fucked up (to me) than let's say Killing Stalking. Because at least those sorts of stories never tried to make you think that they're picturing the ideal couple, a relationship to root for. I do start to make assumptions about the authors, that they're either so sheltered that they can't differentiate between which "yaoi tropes" are good for their story and which are not, or that they simply consider this to be an okay thing to do in a relationship. It's extremely easy to notice once you start paying attention to it, how often the protag can literally be crying "no", "stop", "it hurts", only for it to be treated as "geez, they sure have a wild sex life!".
Back to the point: This could've been a fucked up porny manga. Instead the author decided to make this story as sympathetic to it's rotten core as possible. It didn't need to try to make the protagonist a good man, as that's impossible with what his job is. It didn't need to try to justify itself as it unjustifiable. By painting over the horrific setting with the visual language of a student romance, this story is way less interesting and way more cruel than it ever had to be.
Extremely hot, no doubt about it, I love me some supernatural kinks in fiction, but was that. Was that pink lube or is this another instance of ripped asshole fetish. Praying for pink lube<- first time that sentence was written in the English language.
i THINK it’s the color of their skin, it’s just that the pps are whited out. if they were in color it would look transparent
I'm putting all my hope in you author, she better be able to live her life freely as she wants and not be forced into being a housewife to a guy who just learned that treating his fiance nicely is a good thing to do.
I find the sex scenes extremely sexless in a weird way. Idk why, I do find the characters hot when they're serious or intense about something, but when they're naked and fucking, it's like watching a piece of ham being slapped around. Guess it's either the art style or how they're both extremely muscular yet hairless haha.
I thought exactly the same. it's just so off-putting (?) but I really like the characters and how they all are obsessive and intense.
Its cuz they havent connected mind body and soul AND heart. If you check author's previous work Full Volume, the sex scenes work when the peepo are obsessed with each other.
The sex scene weve witnessed here was mindlessly intense but it lacks passion and love. Its an intense need to treat an animalistic aching, its focused on mating and populating, not sensuality and the need to pleasure a beloved and reach orgasm together. Basically: mindless, animalistic and still needs a lil cooking between god and his sacrifice (づ￣ ³￣)づ
That??? That did not look like a dog eating two women to me????? It looked like a dog doing something entirely different to two women????? I honestly am dumbfounded about whether I just didn't interpret the drawings correctly or if they'd really go in that direction..
No you're right, that is indeed beast*al*ty. I was surprised and then put the phone down cuz honestly, I got confused as to wtf is going on. I'm officially lost with this bit of the story ngl.
Yeah, thank you, I felt a bit crazy just considering it an option. I honestly don't understand why they decided to go in that direction?? He's been established as a greedy, jealous, uncaring and cruel man, but not like. an absolute creep. And it's apparently not his first time visiting? What is this supposed to say to me about our protag? I already knew his was cruel, so why give it this horrible twist ugh..
So from what I understood ,the protagonist was reincarnated as the villain after dieing and I think the shock of having died together with the horrible personality that the villain already had made him go crazier.
At least that's my interpretation, so even if he already went to the "Circus" , perhaps he didn't give shit or went to "business" right away. Or maybe he just completely ignored the fact that this was happening and just did his villainous thing.
Idk either. If your gonna add that then a mention/hint at it would be enough. But he's visiting again and again?? That's just weird.
I think he more so visits often cuz he's always with unsavory type of ppl trying get them on his side or get blackmail info since just bringing up his name is enough to validate being able to see that
That definitely was so unnecessary it just made the story bleh
But that scene was actually uncaring and cruel ?? I'm lost people how you expected him to be when he is a villain that was totally on brand with his personality?

Anyway people if y'all need therapy after this read kiraide isasete, it's cute and have babies;)
you guys know hes friends with the circus owner, right?
it is important to me you know hes friends with him
Im not saying he's not but it is also implied he brings ppl there so could possibly be a business friendship
The dog being sickened to eat them would be uncaring and cruel also. I'm not opposed to the protag being a cruel irredeemable man. I'm opposed to introducing this sexual element to it for shock factor and then expecting the readers to ignore it. You can say it's wrong, but people generally find sexual violence more disturbing than violence in general. Adding this, saying that the protagonist attends these shows often and then using it only to shock the love interest and reader is just insane.
Imagine if in one chapter he just pissed into someone's drink and let them drink it. Yes, it'd be cruel and uncaring, but it'd still be really weird to include it and it would taint your perception of him and in every following chapter you'd have to think about this dude being the piss in your drink man. That's how I feel about him now.
i mean the point is *this* isnt something he particularly draws a line to
I get its also particularly unusual and cruel of a choice but its more about making the final ending of Nasha as bad as possible than to hurt these random 2 sisters.
Horrible things are afoot like next chapter has less of an excuse other than to build raport between whats his face and the priest so i wouldnt hold my breath for this in particular, although the beastiality will make another cameo
Clearly his goal was to be as evil as possible and i'm sorry for you but SA *is* the most evil act out there, that's the point he is a villain he doesn't draw a line at the cruelty he does he wants to make people suffer. Yes now you will see him as the monster he is and that's what the author wants you to feel.
I can see why you'd see it that way so agree to disagree, but I wouldn't say being eaten alive is less evil, just less perverse. Plus the fact that a previous female antagonist was also sexually assulted...idk I just don't think it adds anything to the story
