Hilarious:D And I agree (with most of it;)) it irks me when someone compare TGN to POTN or TGCF. Is it some kind of trend now to compare everything even if they're not similar? Like come on, have you ever seen such AMAZING art, with subtle face expressions, or (not subtle) depicting whole variety of emotions? Even trees, grass and leaves are beautiful. And those clothes?! With carefully and meaningly chosen colors and detailed patterns. I LOVE IT. Saying it's a copy of anything is a blasphemy - good I didn't see it :P
The tiny thing I don't fully agree with is about your 2 paragraph and require a small spoiler, so it'll be down here.
I get the rules, non humans and everything but I'm not buying that a few months (like 4?) after a horrible multiple rape Nok is capable of loving Jaeshin. We all know how bad it was the second time. For the first time we can say he kinda asked of help, so Jaeshin "helped" bc he's a simple ghost and does what he's asked for, and it was "only" one time - I wanted to write bc Nok lost consciousness but I've recalled Jaeshin wanted to continue but it dawned... But the second time? Nok terrified, crying, hurting, and wishing for it to end. And now in the 73 chapter when he's saying "you've made me feel alive" I keep flashing those scenes from chapters 11 and 12 and keep wondering "really, Nok, ALIVE??"
Hi! I mean, I agree with you too. BUT I have seen a lot of historical thingies (bl and not bl) and I can understand those twisted emotions too, I don't find it so hard to reach there. Doesn't mean I agree with that, even less in real life ofc
Oh and I don't like comparing either
I swear I never write here. But with this I must to. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MANWHAS I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME (and I read a lot). My intention is not being disrespectful, but PAINTER OF THE NIGHT ITS NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS. For the ones that says he is identycal to seunghoo, I mean, yes, but HE'S SUCH A BETTER CHARACTER, Im not talking about the personality, im talking about how rich and coherent it is, you can say "of course he would do that" hes so well written, and has such good lore, the universe its so well written too! THE BROTHERS UGHHH I LOVE THEM AND THEY ARE SO IMPORTANT FOR THE STORY. I love every character LETS TALK ABOUT LEE NOK (the prince) HE LEAVES NAKYUM ON THE GROUND. HES NOT A BABY, HE HAS CHARACTER, HE TAAAAALKSSSS AND SAID NO WHEN HE HAS TO, TO JAE SHIN. They have such a wonderfull dynamic. What I like the most its that there's not this horrible power-relationship, where the bottom its weak and literally about to die and has to put up with the top even though he doesn't want to, (we have that in this story too, but its WELL WRITTEN and we have consecuences and rebelious scenes for that). THEY BOTH. NEED. EACH OTHER. And thats what makes it so gooood.
For the ones that says it has grape. Its time we understand that there are characters and universes in general that dont go with the "rules" of the XXI century. And sometimes (just like this case) they don't even follow human behaviour as its not something that its common on their world. Im not trying to justify anything, all im trying to say its that fiction has this things, and we can't say a work is bad just because of something that has coherence and its explained on the plot.
We almost have none stupid misunderstandings (or they are realistic, they solve it up quickly).
I even like the villain, she has such a good background, she's so bad. I love every character.
So PLEASE if you say "oh this is a copy of POTN, I wont read it" ITS NOT. ITS SO. MUCH. BETTER. And im just comparing to POTN since they look alike and I saw a few comments dropping it because of that. THIS IS A JEWEL. THIS IS GOLD. AND THE ART ITS GORGEOUS TOO. DONT. MISS. THIS. WORK. Holy shit.
