What I find funny is that Lister isn't like... particularly evil. Obviously he is, by real world standards, but in any other manhwa I can imagine him being the main love interest.
So he goes on, thinking he's the cute tsundere young-master/ savior love interest, when in our eyes and in the eyes of Sylhan, he's an immature abusive sex-pest.
Poor fucking kid, god. I hope he makes it out of whatever fucked up yandere shit the lawyer's got planning.......but he probably won't...
Wait are baked-in ads for shitty ai games on illegaly translated manhwas seriously going to be a thing from now on???
I thought the journalist side plot would be a boring thing I'd have to endure for the sake of the greater plot, but it's actually really interesting and the journalist character is a strong lead too!
Highly recommend, this shit is so funny the whole:
"Theodore is a gentleman, he would result to such cowardly tactics! And I'm not an easy lay!"
>Somnophilia addict
>Easy
Made me keel over from laughter and I don't laugh at manga often. Just perfect humor
Well if it'll come to light one day anyway, perhaps doing it over tea in a way that prioritizes supporting and reassuring Minchan would be better than whatever fucked up shitshow reveal will actually happen mid fight. But who am I to complain, I love angst gimme gimme.
I actually love this story so much omg. I love the main character. I love how instead of tragically coming to terms with killing fiends, she desperately tries to save them. It makes her stand out so much from other main characters.
Sister, you've got to step up to the plot, I know you have the potential to be the a truly horrifically fucked up female lead, but right now your batshit crazy lawyer boyfriend has way more chemistry with that detective guy, than his sister did with the pavement. YOU'RE BEING LEFT BEHIND IN YOUR OWN STORY AAAARGHH!!
The art style is cute and Yuu was really charming, but God, is Naho difficult to like. She's dishonest until she has no other choice and she doesn't really have object permanence? Once a character she has a conflict with is out of her sight, she doesn't think about their feelings or their complaints.
The story also goes in a weird direction? At the start it's established that Yuu is a disliked guy, who can't communicate well, who girls only talk to get close to Teppei. Then, couple of chapters later, it completely changes! Now Yuu is a guy with his own fan club, who everyone understands to be the brighter, cuter one.
It now makes no sense (except his odd codependent relationship with Teppei) why Yuu agreed to go out with Naho! He didn't know her at all, she didn't know him either, yet he previously rejected other girls who confessed to him?
His struggles with communication IRL completely go away without mention too, when I feel like it should've been the driving force of the plot.
Would be a lot more sympathetic to the dame, if her focus wasn't just the territory. I think it'd be really interesting conflict, for her to admire who Sylvan was and loath who he is now, but it doesn't seem like any of that affection was ever there, just greed for territory.
I'm really curious as to where this will go (DO NOT SPOIL ME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD), there are two very different, but reasonable endings:
Either Sylhan regains his former glory and power, or he'll make peace with a new life elsewhere. I would be completely content with both endings.
Obviously, him becoming the lord of Khalak is so satisfying. All the injustice would be corrected and he'd get to become who he was, before it was taken from him.
But he isn't the lord of Khalak anymore, he's hurt and he's content with simple happiness. His friends from the past are mostly gone and forcing himself to be a memory of a man long gone doesn't sound pleasant.
Both ending have strong negative implications also, a great deal of people would have to die for Sylvan to regain his throne, and a great deal of people who dedicated their life to the young lord of Khalak would be betrayed by him running away.
He's so right the chubby upper arms are the best part. God bless.
