What do people think of this manga?

When I started reading the first book, I fell in love with the art and story...But now! I have absolutely no idea what's going on. The arts still great but now it's no annoying to read. Especially Marie's parts. At first, she was a good character but now all her sentences start with "Marie" in the third person. Seriously, I now can't stand reading or listening to that name anymore. Im ok with out there stuff and i can see why people might like it but to me every part is just getting annoying...except Henri's parts.
Like what the fuck is with the huge ass dildo?
And the kissing and thorn scene.

    I feel the same but opposite, I'm finding all of Charles (is that Henri?) quite annoying now and I still like Marie a lot but maybe a bit more in earlier parts. I particularly like that guy with the fake leg though.

    Hmm if you asked why I couldn't really give you a straight answer but I think it's because I don't really understand/know his motives for doing anything if that makes sense? And I don't think I like his personality now too much either..

    Things like the thorns are supposed to be metaphorical. If you can't get that much I don't know how you've lasted this long tbh.

    I get that it's metaphorical I'm not an idiot. I was only trying to say that it's extremely different from the first book which I liked way more and only asking people's opinion whether they like it as much or thought it went downhill. Also, I was talking about the scene itself, not the thorns.

    Me too. I still enjoy it, but Marie's character is getting annoying. She annoyed me more in Innocent, because the spotlight gradually changed from Charles to her and a good portion of the manga is dedicated to it. And she's kind of a crazed mary sue in my opinion, most of the real Charles Sanson most interesting traits (i.e. his exceptional medical knowledge, which played an important part in Damien's execution) went to her character...
    That being said, the story is still interesting and I'm curious to where the author will drive the plot.
