The people complaining about his skin color sounds so fucking strange, does only proper brown or black color people exist? Have you really never seen greyish dark people in your life? Well people from some regions here in India looks like him too. You guys are the ones being racist, not the artist!
People being dissatisfied about characters skin not being a certain shade of dark always makes me uncomfortable, is one shade supposed to be superior than the other just because they're present in more percentage of people?
Ngl, I never met one but when you mentioned India, I remember there’s many with grey-ish undertones. Even so, it doesn’t matter, I still don’t get the intense hate for his skin.
I made a long post here too if you already saw. I edited it and added more onto it so it doesn’t look like I’m being ignorant of other’s feelings.
I don’t even know why the complaining happens. It’s fiction, that should say enough. It’s not really misrepresented if we don’t know who the author is trying to make the character look like, maybe they just wanted their OC grey. It’s that simple.
Doesn’t gotta be complex. I assume the name metatron is from the biblical Angel, I don’t know if angels have certain skin colors or what, but really doesn’t matter.
I found this but not common I don’t think? To me, it looks like she has grey undertones. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/543946
Even so, it’s fiction, people can make the skin color any color honestly. So it shouldn’t matter. Unless we know that the author for sure is trying to make dark people representation, but clearly not based off the fact his nipples are brown and darker than his skin.
Thanks for the link. Google was not very helpful when I tried searching grey skintone.
I don't personally like the "it's fiction" argument as a lot of fictional stories have foundations in reality. I also don't like to police people who have valid complaints about representation and the fetishization of whole groups of people. But I'll reserve my judgement on the grey skin for now as we've only seen a handful of characters here.
It’s just not fair to be upset that his skin isn’t the way one wants it to be, like I’m not about to let people judge my character cause I wanted to make his skin a certain color that they don’t accept. Is my point.
I guess saying fiction is too vague. More like, it’s fiction and people can do any skin color. I really don’t understand the hate. Coming from a poc myself who still deals with colorism.
I’m sure author knows what brown skin is, considering his nipple is brown lol. They prob aren’t doing representation, but more like what they simply wanted their character to look like.
I can see where some are coming from though, regardless.
I only hate the it’s fiction argument when it talks about serious problematic stuff people debate over when it shouldn’t even be debated. I am referring to rape, Shota, cheating, incest, etc.
Skin looking like corpse shouldn’t be an issue in fiction, unless we know for sure author is trying to represent darker people and is misrepresenting by making them grey. If it is really grey in real life, which I’ve never really seen face to face, I’d suggest getting diagnosed…
I don't feel any malicious intent from her, I feel like she's just a young girl in a place who's ignorant about stuff like this due to not being exposed to gay people and these topics much. I'm sure other villagers also don't bring talk about lgbt people openly or if they do then not in a good light.
She's probably just worried about him and feels awkward to bring it up
The two blond dudes George and Hugh love each other but both don't want take a dick up their asses so rape other boys together. One of gets burned to death by Raymond and the other one gets their face ruined and comes after mc to get revenge for his bf's death but the black haired ML(Jerome) kills him. Simon(red hair) also dies and mc ends up with Jerome.
It is a good read for a psychological story if you know what to expect and can handle dark fictions but don't expect anything from the four MLs, they're all psychos.
This manhwa doesn't do the novel justice at all. The novel is very good and popular too so it was strange to see the manhwa not getting any hype at all but after reading it makes sense.
Also rip author
Will probably give it a try again when Plantz starts to become the deuteragonist to the mc, he's my favorite character!











Their chemistry, dialogues and the plot everything is so well done and intriguing. The scenes are also so well drawn, especially the transition it was godly!
