Highkey herwin deserves his confusing feelings. I hope he suffers a lot. The man rejected this lovely lady 100 times and then gets upset when she moves on. So selfish.
Although they're not in love, Lucia and Berne make a very sweet couple just on the fact that they respect and support each other. I love their communication so far. Their ability to try and understand each other. Lucia and Berne fit well because of that. If Lucia ends up finding someone she truly loves, then obviously she should go with him (as long as its not the gumwad Herwin). However, I think the relationship she has developed with Berne so far has been really sweet and may grow into something more (highkey sucks that they feel the pressure to marry so quick but ah well).
Atrias definitely doesnt like Herwin... She's just a kind and cool person so obvi Herwin "feels at ease" with her. LOWKEY i'm getting lesbian from her BUT IT MIGHT BE MY PREJUDICE COMING THROUGH. Just because she likes swords and monsters doesnt mean she doesnt like men. SO. I think she probably would go for 1) a man that would treat her as her equal and go on adventures/battles with her 2) a twink that she herself would take care of (like she's the provider) or 3) a woman. Butch or lipstick or mix. In MY IDEAL WORLD. She would go for a woman. Maybe even hint that she liked Lucia for a bit maybe if we want some seasoning in the story. I just love strong women and doubly love lesbian women #supportmyqueercommunity.
I do not hate the henry option for Lucia either. but like that kindof relationship will only be approved by me if its AFTER he graduates from academy AND it takes TIME and he treats Lucia well. (Nobody in their right mind would be OK with dating a high schooler as a 20 something year old...
Suuper angst. Honestly I wouldn't be mad if it ended here. There are still some loose ends, like the servants who fled the mansion (but we can assume theyre fine, working somewhere else). I also really hate those comics that stretch things to like 200 episodes and more than half of the episodes being filler. The first 15 episodes really well describe the themes the author wants to express, along with the two main character's internal conflicts + desires. With that, I wouldn't be upset about this being the final episode. however! I would also be super interested for more episodes. I'd like to see what the author does to explore the now eternal living couple. Maybe for like another 15 episodes. Otherwise I don't want that stretched shit.
Damn. I was highly concerned of Albert's freaky behavior/manipulative/controlling thoughts towards ashia. Chapter 12 he got that post nut clarity though. Honestly it's kindof a difficult read because of how realistically flawed the two main characters are. Albert's situation of being like a replacement comfort servant to the same person + ashia's constanf reminder of a person they truly loved but not getting that exact person/struggling to move on. It's a recipe for intense agony.
I appreciate that the main character we're following (albert) isn't like a total sociopath though. He easily could've been filled with only lust + obsession to a disgusting degree like a lot of cheap plots do but that character type was given to his father, and Albert is given space to be flawed, but realize how shitty his behavior is. It also gives room to reflect on the fact that his father's obsessive behavior and actions were not OK.
I also appreciate that they're not romanticizing the fact that this vampire has cursed a family into serving him and having this weird trance / required obedience thing going on. That's really messed up! And we see that reflected when Albert talks to Margaret and goes to the storage room. Albert gets scared and questions if his feelings are truly his or if its only due to this curse(? Is it a curse or is it some kind of manifestation of an unfulfilled wish of archen?).
I like that the vampire also acknowledges thst Alberto (alberts father) was fucking psycho and really fucking shitty to threaten suicide in order to get his way. Even though ashia is suffering, he still has boundaries and will establish them.
This is a very interesting premise on discussing the topic of immortality, eternal love, and human will vs fate.
It's just nice to read a pornhwa that doesn't romantacize shitty behavior, or at least represents shitty behavior & actions as shitty! Being posessive isn't cute y'all. Even if Aisha is immortal and is kindof a big factor into why albert's family is cursed in a way, Ashia still deserves to get a chance to live a happy life without owing anything to someone else. ashia, a vampire, posessing the ability to do something you can't do does not give you the right to decide what ashia's life should be like.
This is in the same breath (breadth?) as how men think they can decide what women are able to do with their body just because they posess the ability to bear a child while men cannot. No. That's not the right of men to decide. Women can decide what they want to do with their power. Nobody else can. It's not their right.
If ashia wishes to use their power to turn someone, that's their right/decision to do so. But it's not OK when someone else demands/requires what Aisha can do with their powers. It's not theirs to begin with to decide!
Note to self: read up to chapter 12. Vampire media is a good way to discuss sexuality, immortality, and eternal love.
Also sorry I literally have no idea what the vampires name is. Ashia? Aisha? Archen? Something like that.
Do you have a bl blog, because i enjoyed reading this
I really appreciate that you enjoyed reading my thoughts on this so far! I don't currently have a blog but you've made me start considering it. I think this comic warranted me making this whole comment thread simply because I was impressed with how responsibly the writing was done in it's portrayal of behaviors. I read a lot of manhwa/pornhwa on this site and the plots get really shallow and irresponsible with their portrayal of rape, manipulation, and obsession as "cute", "romantic" or "fine". It gets really tiring and makes it hard to really enjoy anything anymore. I might make a blog but there are few manhwas that write compelling stories, bring interesting discussion, and portray things responsibly. Most of my posts on other comics would probably be a lot of critiques and whining. If you're interested in that kindof thing I might make a tumblr blog or something!
Ok... so I'm on ch 30 but like there are a lot of problematic behaviors going on here (which is fine that doesnt make it bad. What makes it bad is if the author makes that behavior seem fine. I'm only on ch 30 so idk how to judge atm).
1. Icky icky power dynamic
Author shows that its weird which is super good! But yeah when the professor offered that internship I was instantly like
Ch 50. :^| So. Curse the blondie and the professor bc what the fuck????? Why are you doing this to woojun???? Literally Why????? Why are they resorting to rape. And extreme solutions. Block those bitches. Idc that blondie is your childhood friend. He fucking sucks now. Imprison the fucking professor! Yk what? Imprison blondie too!!! He drugged up redhead without his knowlrdgr!!!!! Plus the rape and everythign else. God.
On another note, woojuns parents served their looks. They have killer looks both old and young. Also i think jeheuns (? Blondie) babysittet guy in suit is the omega guy for professor when he isnt raping his student.
The art is so fuckong scrumptious like how do you get the colors like that and the ANATOMY!!! THE ARMSSS also the difference in hand styles jehui's thinner slimmer hands vs the stalker man's bigger calloused style hands. I want to know how to get the palette to look like your comic is glowing and illuminating like it looks like a water color/rennaissance fresco painting that belongs in the walls / ceilings of a church maybe not the gay hardcore sex but like well maybe yes the gay hardcore sex the catholics were kinky they liked the naked bodies I think
I FUCKING HATE LOVE SQUARES JUST FUCKING LET THE ELVES BE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I DONT CARE IF "HMMM THIS IS INTERESRINT"/"THIGNS ARE STARTING TO GET INTERESTING" STFU AND LET THE ELVES BE OH MY GOD LITERALLY LET THEM BE I DONT WANT MISUNDERSTANDINGS JESUS CHRIST DIWKJDVBJEKSND
Phew good she got rid of misunderstanding. Eat slay no need to be upset
LOOOOOOOOOLOOOL
this is so funny to me omg
This shit has me saying "fuck off!" at every panel. But it definitely is an engaging read haa.... how depressing it is for me to fall for this shit.
I feel like the author is treating the readers as dumb shit brained children as the story goes further. I have a lot of gripes with the main character + main lead (very annoying,, it's honestly quite hard for me to like them). Big issue I have is how the male lead "pairs" with the main character without her knowledge and everyone just fucking HIDES it from her??? Like yikes.... I don't know it's just weird; yes the parents are conflicted about the situation but at the end of the day it feels like everybody forgets and the author seems to portray this as a "whatever" situation... and that's yucky wucky to me. Dropped.
omg yah i totally forgot that no one told her
Got to chapter 55 and am dropping because the story just isn't that interesting. It just feels like a nothing burger... I don't FEEL the main character's motivations (trying to not die obviously, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of weight placed in that) and the relationships she does create with people are rather shallow and one dimensional along with the characters themselves (maybe you could excuse this by the fact that the mc is traumatized from her past life, but that doesn't explain why the characters themseleves lack personality + depth). Her past life seems really interesting to me compared to the life she is living now for this story, and I wish they could use her past life to develop her character and depth a little more, give her more texture/flavor. Right now it's just generic blegh of omg these kids are so cute and they deserve the world (totally agree! But I could care less about that for a story... sorry not sorry). And the main male interest has so much potential for depth too: he's the brother of the previous emperor who mysteriously died after the empress' death, and now some asshat is the emperor because they had mote precedence compared to the brother (bc he is a bastard child) but at the end of the day he had a strong comradery with his half brother and cares for his nephew a lot. The fact that he "failed" to go through his promise of taking care of his nephew for the first 8 years of his life would stir up a lot of turmoil and self doubt. It just feels like this man is cardboard in personality... like he's good looking, powerful (arch duke so second most powerful rank in typical kingdoms/empires) and kind, but like his motivations are so bland/not expressed very well. It's ok for the mc not to know for the plot but like I'd like the author to show the reader what motivates his actions too. And that applies to EVERY character in my opinion. The "mystery" in this story is a weak bandaid for plot holes and bad writing. Just fucking SHOW the motivations of these characters and like UGH. Anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk. I am dropping this comic :^9
lmg you missing out its just getting interesting
She's 16 for god's sake! He's probably what. 28? DISGUSTING ! GET INTO THE FUCKING DUMPSTER.
