but with all the hot men- its also very female gaze ish. Might just be an artstyle yk.

male authors also like drawing hot buff men tho so that's not exclusive to the female gaze. but you dont see many women authors drawing women with huge breasts and a 15 inch waist...

There are tons of "male gazey" artworks of women drawn by women.

Its not unrealistic I have personally seen woman build like that irl and its very "female gazey" too. R u sure ur not just insecure?

Her waist is realistic if you reread chapter 38-40? Like you clearly see body fat on her. Also, not everyone with larger boobs has a 40 inch waist like bffr, some womans fat distributions are different to others, that’s real life

the women with those kinds of bodies also have thicker arms though? idk if you noticed or not or maybe my own observation is lacking. yes ik some women dont gain fat in their waists. i myself am of that bodytype. i noticed in other women too, that losing fat in arms is the hardest. you might get a thin body through diet but arm fat requires some amount of workout if you wanna thin it. meanwhile tits lose weight on their own ;-; become thin and poof, gone

haesoo could be chubby with a flat stomach, i get it. but her overall design ends up falling under the usual male gazey trope. the dudes of this manhwa are pretty huge with big dicks too. lets not close our eyes to the obvious now.

maybe its just multiple factors that make haesoo's overall body look as unnatural/fetishy.
1)her arms are thin af and dont match her overall "short chubby woman" proportions
2) eyes so big it practically covers half of her face
3) obviously the big tits and ass that feel so male gazey because how common those body types are in pornhwas.

never said it was unrealistic just less common

never said it was unrealistic just uncommon

im sure there are, but in comparison to male authors? unlikely that its more...

How you perceive female lead is ultimately a you problem and if you feel like her art style is similar to woman in pornwhas then again, that’s on you

I’ve noticed the authors art improvement on Haesoo in recent chapters whilst also not swaying from her original design. Yes, some features may be exaggerated in all these characters but one aspect I appreciate about this author is that they never shy away from making them flawed! Just as the author repeated one face trope, it also seems like they did it with specific female features like arms, hips and ect so so for me, it isn’t that deep especially minor features like arms even the flower girl who had smaller breast looked off with those arms so, I’m pretty sure it’s just the artist style but if you hate it then it is what it is.

I personally like her design and I don’t have a problem with her body since it’s nicer seeing a “ curvier” elder woman than the normal standard fl ( skinny, long limed with the D cup perky breast that toned stomach w no hips) Yes there’s some off panels where she looks shell shocked tbh but I think the author has improved a lot.
If you hate it, I get it! Each to their own but I don’t think it’s as male gaze as most accuse it of being:) have good day

i never said i hated it wtf it was merely objective observation on why her overall design feels unnatural ;-;
