Ch. 84 Why didn't I expect that?

Vae January 30, 2025 2:33 pm

I'm surprised Nok was in the mood, I wasn't, kinda... Still it was hot *thumb up* Despite ridiculous size - or maybe it's hard to see
bc of the censorship? - while Nok seems to shrank?
But never mind. I'm extremly satisfied how Jaeshin's character (finally) and the story have unfurled.

However this time the changes in art style really hit me. From time to time I tend to whine a little ab it and now's the time. Sorry in advance ;)
On that big Jaeshin's panel (when he asks if he should pull out) he looks so pretty and kinda girly to me... Another panel with Nok (right before the kiss) seems a little off too - I can't describe with what exactly I'm not satisfied though. It's just like the quality has slightly declined. Does anyone share my impressions?

Still their face expressions were top-notch as always :]

    I honestly think the sex scene was unnecessary. The whole chapter looked off maybe once I read the English version it will make sense somehow but I doubt it. They could've just cuddled and it would have been perfect :,) As for the art style, my impression is that the face features are sharper and that what maybe makes them look a bit different. Surprisingly I feel like the quality of the drawings increased and not the opposite. Funny how we we see things differently lol

    Cr jade had an accident where she hurt her wrist, maybe that’s why it looks different?

    I don’t really see the changes tbh and the art is still the best from all the manhuas ive ever read..

    no cause there were some panels where the proportions seemed a bit off to me as well. one being after when jaeshin says "even if you regret giving your heart to me.. I'm yours nok" there's a panel where the hand portion looked a bit awkward.

    ig it's cause of the artist's accident so hopefully it gets better with future chapters

    Deedee, I too thought they'll just cuddle XD And then there'll be some plot...

    Quishi, maybe it's the last chapter she drew before the hiatus? That would make sense.
    And ofc TGN has the best art of all times. It's top 1 and there's nothing for a loong time after it :)

    Daisy, I know what you mean, but doesn't it caused by horrendously wide Jaeshin's shoulders? And the move - on another panel Nok's fingers look scrawny as if they're just bones.
    I don't think there's a need to make Jaeshin even more bulky as well as enlarge his penis - I prefer when proportions aren't that much unbelievable. I know it's a fiction and I don't mind some well drawn muscles (●'◡'●) but let's leave (or keep?) body proportions on one level.

    I think I've figured it out what's keeping bugging me. Nok's face and his expressions look very similar to their second night - when Nok was drunk and it's a terrifying blatant rape. Same position also. And I knooow it's different situation, and Nok's desperate bc of the ghost. But when his face looks so alike... I can't help it and recall.
    Not long ago I've thought Nok's becoming more manly (when he was dressed at least XD) but this time I haven't seen it at all.

    maybe you're right. I don't hope tho that they hust look enlarged cause of the censorship (but then again that wasn't the case in s1) let's see what happens .
    and you're so right about the keeping the proportions realistic cause there were times when I myself felt the same (although it wouldn't be the case with some people so i respect that).

    also one more thing I google translated through the chapter lightly but it did seem to me that maybe jae was gonna tell nok about the past(?) when before he got sidetracked( or maybe that's just my interpretation). do we think that he'll come clean to nok or not ? also is the eng translation still on a hiatus?

    I thought so with some recent chapters - when they're out in English it turned out sadly it wasn't the censorship's fault ^^'
    There're many manhwas where characters have shoulders wide as 4 heads or more, and "the third leg" - which looks ridiculous. I really really hope my favourite and the most respected manhwa artist won't go down this road...

    This hiatus should last for 3 weeks. Same as the Korean one.

    Fun fact is that Jaeshin has now 2 things to tell Nok. He still haven't told him all about his curse - and now I think he never even wanted to? He faltered but decided to skip the part with winning human's heart. Maybe he thinks it's not that important?
    And yeah, I agree with you that he wanted to tell him it's his fault that Nok's seeing ghosts. But really, wasn't it the worst possible moment? And def Jaeshin believes Nok will hate him for that.
    I, on the contrary, assume Nok will be magnanimous bc Jaeshin didn't do it on purpose and might even say smth like "I'm glad I've met you".

    I wonder about another thing. If Nok wouldn't see the ghosts (haven't touched anything in the afterworld), what could the queen do to him? Maehyung wouldn't be useless? And the ghosts that were molesting him - he wouldn't even know. As she has send him a really strong one, he might've caused Nok a strange illness or killed him on the spot.

    well the only reason why the queen even got to nok was because the previous empress had to ask for help after nok started seeing the ghosts (if im remembering correctly that is). so we would prob would never have gotten this gem of a work otherwise

    and i do second that nok would forgive/not get mad at jaeshin even if he tells him. hoping we would get that much needed conversation soon tho

    On the other hand Chaehui might've schemed smth else and depose the queen or killed her.
    But that would be interesting if that was the great evil plan from the beginning: firstly make Nok see ghosts (using Jaeshin), then torment him, lastly possess him?

    We? Again? Nothing I would know.
    I'm guessing the English hiatus should end today :)

    So no hiatus expected for the Korean version? Maybe I got confused with another BL
