I was so ready to chalk up the grey skin tones to some fantasy magic thing, but why is that cake and her dress all grey Are colors illegal or something
like i live the desaturated palate as much as the next person but （/TДT)/
My hypothesis for why the FL’s alleged trauma responses (i.e. avoidance, low self-esteem, paranoia) are so annoying is that it’s not clear what triggers her. If the sister was present, we would get it because we know she’s evil. If the ducal family was still neglectful, we would get it because we know that’s bad.
But neither of those things are true at this current time, so the FL‘s flaws feel less because she was forced to be this way by external forces, and more because that’s her natural personality. That makes her less sympathetic and gives her less room to grow out of her flaws.
The story needs to quickly either bring in the sister or show what happened in the previous life that makes the ducal family so bad. As it is right now, the FL is paranoid about nothing.
If it turns out that older blonde lady is targeting Ayla because she wants to make Frede her boytoy, I am going to yurk.
Drawing hands is the worst, but it’s so obvious they just used rendered models and blended it out a lil.
If I didn’t know she was into the Ml, I would have assumed she was trying to humiliate him by forcing him to act as her servant. Someone who can’t take care of a shoe by herself shouldn’t be entrusted with a whole duchy anyways.
I thought she was humiliating him for being blind
If Jeremy had chosen to keep it a total secret or only told Elijah, I would have lost it. As the new duke the emperor does not trust, it’s suicide to not try to prove your loyalty. I also would not have been able to handle the unnecessary drama of more secrets when Elijah already has enough on her plate to deal with. So thank God Jeremy did the actual smart thing here.
Am I the only one who doesn’t hate this mermaid arc? It’s not like it’s sudden; the story’s been hinting at the interracial conflict for a while. And Nadia clearly exists to give the ML and FL a kick in the rear when it comes to realizing and admitting their feelings because honestly their relationship WAS starting to drag.
Yes, Nadia is annoying. Yes, I don’t want to see her and Abigail get together. But the story is clearly doing all of this on purpose, so I’m content to see what they’re going to use Nadia for next.
SAME! and i just can't be mad at her now that she's clarified that she thought it was a strictly political relationship. She's entertaining kick in the pants this couple needs. I wonder if the mermaids or fairies will end up having the answers to the boy-stuck-in-mirror problem
If I remember correctly, Gavin wasn’t copying what he was reading word for word. Like, I’m pretty sure she would have noticed if he was quoting romance dialogue because it is SO cringe sometimes. The things he was saying were his own words and thoughts, so it’s unfair to accuse him of scripting the whole thing.
Ah the unique pain of a story that’s got a good premise and good characters and pacing and timing… but the art sucks. ╥﹏╥
gurl the art isn't even that bad
the art is fine wdym
You know what? I’m happy the brothers couldn’t condemn their fake sister. I’m happy that the years of growing up together didn’t mean nothing. I’m happy that their love wasn’t conditional on Amaryllis being the child of light, because it means their love for Ashtarte isn’t conditional on her being the child of light either.
Yes they messed up. Yes they don’t deserve Ashtarte’s forgiveness. Yes it’s not a satisfying end. But they had real love for a monster in human skin, and I think that counts for something.
I think the same. They are already trash for how they treated Ashtart.
If they turned their back on a "child" brought to "life" from their father and whom they loved all their lives, they would be the most disgusting things ever! It would mean that they truly believed and followed the known prophecy even though they said their stance was against it.
