As much as I think ChungMyun is a good leader i don't he's the best suited character to be a Sect Leader. It's almost impossible to hold him in check and even with crazy character growth i don't think he'll overcome that. He's only held down by the fact there are people above him that he respects, as well as a healthy dose of peer pressure. I know he's trying to change and made hella improvements, but I think he's better off being a loose cannon who represents the sect. As well as an advisor who pushes them outside their comfort zone rather then just leading them. I think he should be trusted and respected, he's normally right after all, but that by itself aren't the qualities needed.
I think BaekChun would be better suited(at least as they are now there's obviously still a ton of story left and room for growth) to be Sect Leader. Man's always has a healthy dose of skepticism towards ChungMyun's shit but has very quickly known when to take a step back. As well as, in this chapter, he's shown he can still acknowledge that despite ChungMyun succeeding he still scared the hell out them and voiced it. I also don't think strength should be the deciding factor of who runs the Sect.
That said if ChungMyun continues to grow further and sees his peers as equals he would definitely have a fighting chance to change my opinion on the matter.
The author draws female characters very small as well but they look almost normal (keyword almost cause it's def not quite). I know they like small ukes but it's as if they're incapable of drawing smaller males so they take the tits off their chicks making them look even more like kids. The author definitely has an artstyle problem they need to work through because none of their characters look particularly pleasing to the eyes. Sometimes they look fine, but their more masculine characters look weird. Even the ML looks awkwardly soft in some pages that the author couldn't hide, even when they tried to overcome it by fucking with the face length and jawline.
The uke and other feminine characters (even across their other stories) look fine for the most part they also stay pretty consistent. Though I'm starting to think the author might have some other underlying...issues. I have my own problems with art being that every character I draw is definitely female coded. But you can tell when I'm drawing a child v. adult. I just really like drawing the female form so I'm better at it. Since I draw way less men in general my default is female with more masculine features so I have to work really hard to make them less feminine.
What I'm getting at, is the fact this author is suspiciously good at drawing "small" characters compared to the inverse. I say suspicious because one could kinda argue their females almost look like adults. But female characters have bigger eyes, smaller frames, and the only real difference in animes that separate short females from children are the boobs. So it's not as noticeable if they looked child like. Applying what i know about learning to draw i think this author might mostly draw children. Obviously I'm not going to claim this is fact but this author definitely has habits you get from drawing the same thing over and over again.
There are ways to make short, petite, male characters not look like children. Even when the concept is a pretty twink. It's a fine line to straddle but it isn't super hard. So the fact author has made a few different stories now and hasn't learned how yet is making me doubly suspicious.
I've got hope the anime will have a better ending or at least a more cohesive one. They've stretched out scenes or fleshed out other moments that were glossed or sped over in the manga already so I have faith.
I love this 10/10 smut but also I low-key think they have a sex addiction they got the same withdrawals I do when I'm 3 days deep with no coffee.
282 is so unexpected and the second man's talked about his dick hole i knew it wasn't kaguya sama but I laughed my ass off anyway with how out of pocket that shit is.
I re watched the anime and I guess the first time i wasn't really paying attention (I've also re-read the manga I think i might just be illiterate) but I think Ruby's wish for Aqua to find the murderer is what ultimately re lead him down a path to once again find his revenge. I'm not gonna blame Ruby for the wish though as she was under the impression he was still looking and fighting for it. The Crow God though she knew Aqua was satisfied and still did what she did. Ill admit she's got me a little peeved.
The Crow God was orchestrating everything, was also listening to their wishes and ultimately that's what roped him in. I don't like little miss God because she seems omnipotent, but then also acts like she cares about the twins, and upon rereading up to chapter 163 and re absorbing the anime it's clear she cared about Ruby way more then Aqua as he was nothing more then a tool to make Ruby succeed in life without a hitch. She also high key admitted to Aqua's only purpose in reincarnation to begin with, was to make Ruby succeed.
Crow bitch gets bent out of shape, acting like shes soooo sad, that Aqua was breaking and that him getting revenge was going to ruin him. But she seemed to also actively be leading him down that path and even actively talked to Ruby (right after girly found the Doc's corpse) to really rub in that someone else was involved in Ai and Gorou dying. Aqua gave up on revenge because he found a good enough answer. But good enough wasn't good enough for Crow bitch because she lead Ruby to the corpse. Igniting one of the twin's need for revenge ie. Ruby's need who did not know and probably would've never assumed that Gorou was dead till then. She would've just lived her life upset that he hadn't come to find her.
After thinking about it too, the only outcome of Aqua not finding who actually killed Ai would be that eventually their dickwad father would have tried to kill Ruby. Aqua probably wouldn't have died in that time line; by then also I think he would have cared enough about Akane and healed enough to not fall apart afterward either. Even then! This is all assuming Ruby would have surpassed Ai and I don't think she would have. I think she would be decently famous and enjoy being an Idol. But eventually i think she would have had her fun and moved on. I also think regardless of the timeline she would have figured out who Aqua is. But either ending was unacceptable to Crow bitch.
I really don't like that Crow bitch acted like she cared about Aqua. The man's only needed and wished for freedom because the world he lived in, experiences he went through and memories he had were like a disease to his lively hood. Something that the shit crow actively facilitated. Ruby may not be my favorite character but I could logically argue for her actions and thoughts. The Crow God though I literally cannot with her.
She basically went "I'm so sad boohoo, you're Aqua Hoshino and you did your best. There there." The he was gonzo and acted like she wasn't the reason he was going to die.
I think Aqua might get amnesia or something. I don't think he can ever be truly happy if he has his memories. He's too broken from his 2 lifetimes for him not to be. I also like the detail the author added that even tho Aqua had Goro's memories he's technically a new person. A child that just happens to know more then he should. Which doesnt actually make him any less of child just that he forced himself to grow up sooner.
He's influenced by what he knows and takes responsibility for things he shouldn't have to because he's convinced himself that because he could see beyond the veil of his current life that it must mean he is the same person. But it's clear from the start he wasn't.
No matter what he went through as doctor the fact he woke up with a different personality, different thought process, and different emotions means that from the start he was already someone new. He had to learn how to live his life from scratch and regardless of his memories, and what he knows or didn't know, Ai still would have died.
He was a powerless child
I think the ML is scum.
Now getting that out of the way the story has intentionally avoided having him explicitly say or show that he originally asked her to die. He's acknowledged he's a piece of shit but I don't think he straight up wanted her gonzo.
Yknow, I was thinking about the fact Aeroc had gone through 5 pregnancies. How each time, he got a little weaker before the last and how they start over the way they did in the timeline. Kloff must've done something exceptional in his previous life to be given so many chances. It's like the God of that universe was spoon feeding this man as many different opportunities as possible to realize he needed to chill the fuck out. Then he would've gotten what he wanted, the crazy cluster fuck revenge, and still have Aeroc completely reliant (crazily in love) on him.
It's only cause he royally fucked up the last time with the shit he spouted and expected no repercussions to. It statistically should've been impossible for Aeroc to even get to that number, let alone survive the pregnancies. Yet he probably would have lived. Most as a damn near vegetable, addicted to pain killers, and zero quality of life but his chances were up there.
Kloff just fucked up like crazy at the end and rolled a nat 20 on his stupidity. Even after reading the novel I realized that the one who truly ends up happy is Kloff. Aeroc is some crazy collateral prize to be had. Moral of the story Kloff must've been some kind of Alexander the Great with the accomplishments he had in a past life. He was given several undeserved chances and then another few on top of that.
Conclusion: L Kloff 0/10 man whore
Please good lord lead me to a man like Taeha. I'm not a good 10/10 Christian but I beg of thee to lead me to a spring where he resides. Let me drink from him and spend the rest of my days being lulled in the darkness of his depths. It matters not if he chooses to gently pull me into the unknown. If he whispers fallacies for if he was a man like Taeha he would never hurt me.
Please I beg of thee.
Anyways I simp.
Abel was big and strong when the Prince needed to be protected. Now he's pocket sized when the Prince needs something to protect. I think that's actually brilliant now that I think about it even more.
Y'know I was hesitant to read this because people were complaining that Abel was a twink now, but that only really added to the story. Makes it harder for the king to identify him.
I hope Lister almost dies an embarrassing death of tripping on dog shit only to land, face first, in a pile of horse shit. Bonk his head too hard in the pile, pass out, almost drown in it. Have a big group of people find him, save him, and have to suffer from minor brain damage and hella pink eye. Then after a month of everyone starting to forget and seemingly return to normal the exact same scenario happens again. The rumors get spread that he must love scat and his reputation be ruined and women (or if he's gay, men) can't stand him. No one wants be near him, the lovely lady from the start of the story won't even touch his cheeks. Cause he must love shit.
I understand where Raymond is coming from but at some point, when he grew up, he should've either A. realized how irrational his feelings were or B. buckle down and avoid her at all costs. He did neither of those things and only half heartedly continued their relationship. Only to realize, once he decided to actually draw the line, he liked having her around.
Like my guy you push someone away till they dislike you (ik it's cause the MC replaced the princess but that's what it would look like in his perspective.) you can't expect to change their mind. You broke down your relationship with your own 2 hands, threw away whatever trust yall had for eachother, and put her down to the best of your ability. There is only so much slack one can give you before realizing that you were the problem.
Ik people are justifying it since he missed his mother's death and like I said before I could understand why he did what he did when they were children. I could also understand if they were teens. But they're in their 20's now (no 100% sure how old tho) and he'd still maintained a half hearted shitty relationship. He can't blame her for any of his actions. Nor can he change his mind now that he feels guilty. Cause it doesn't feel like he genuinely wants to rekindle as much as it is the guilt of his own actions.
They look like Aventurine and Dan Heng (Imbibitor Lunae vers.) I don't think it was intentional but if anyone ships this rare pair ig they have options now.
The child Nine arc added to their romance quite a bit. He didn't didn't follow her, nor was his loyalty spontaneous. There was always a reason and I think that's cute af.
Y'know what? At least he's loyal. He's hot too and maybe that's why I'm still simping a bit. But like
