there's a good story similar to this one called "The man in the mirror"
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_man_in_the_mirror/
the concept is almost the same except in this they can actually enter the mirror and visit each other's places
it's also finished and quite adorable
Ahh I'm so glad someone else know this story! It was such a good read as well.
that manga was so cute i still think of this story everytime i see a boquet of flowers <,3
someone already mentioned this in another comments but the story feels like a bit like a wattpad/fanfic and that's kind of accurate, the FL is all like "how could it possibly be okay for me to be near him?, in his presence? he's the emperor and he's so handsome to boot. I'm just the royal sibling's tutor (︶︿︶)" which makes their interactions sort of forced and awkward
then theres the art which isn't necessarily AWFUL but if you're a manhwa veteran then you KNOW that the art is MID quality at best compared to other works
HOWEVER, I have to add that I might be biased regarding that since I'm an artist and I tend to be more picky about that sort of stuff (mind you, I'm not claming to be freaking leonardo da vinci)
bro like, sawami is my whole ass type (only missing tattooes) but seriously
his vibe, that height, his fashion sense, THE JEWERLY
seriously man really sleep on jewelry when done correctly it's SO ATTRACTIVE
I feel so lost rn and maybe I'm just forgetting something (I'm gonna have to reread the whole thing and it's so frustrating)
but I swear I remember the lybrarian teacher mentioning something along the lines of "things written in destiny/fate are impossible to change" and that hanako managed to do so when he died but that that incident in itself was a taboo (I think he also mentioned that's the reason hanako became a supernatural but I'm probably imagening that)
now we're being told that the clock keepers could have changed the sequence of events anytime they wanted to simply by tweaking something in the timeline
Ok uhh
Tsuchigomori said something around "Yugis was supposed to become a teacher in this academy, he was supposed to be my colleague..." but hanako defied fate by killing himself
Fate changed / actually became true
Im assuming this was due to the butterfly effect caused by the clock keepers, what happened exactly we dont know yet, but it made hanako live
I HAVEN'T SCREAMED SO HARD IN MY LIFE WHEN I FINALLY READ THE WORDS "I LOVE YOU" FROM HIM, AND NOW WE GOTTA WAAAAAIITTTTTTT!!!?????
THIS IS DOWNRIGHT CRIMINAL
Her torturing fjord to that extent is so many different levels of fucked up I can't even...
like for one because it's just downright awful,abusive, and beyond cruel to say the least but also because if you remember it was said that fjord dies in 3 years in the original timeline which leads me to believe he could have easily died from the abuse going too far
Very true but I think he died during a rebellion or something.
Like... not a "natural" death...
Like not abuse but from either his powers going rampant or his mother using him as a scape goat to get away with something.
Dude clara's vibe in this AU is so cool, she's always been the cutest but now it's like
dangerous and beautyful and a bit unhinged, I love it
this is one of those times I have NO interest in the second couple (could care less if they have a story of their own) the brother is literal trash and even takashi I don't like very much
tomoe was put through so much emotional abuse and neglect since so young but hey it's all Good and dandy cause they're sooooo in love, nah fam FUCK his brother
I give takashi a sort of a pass cause he raised tomoe but he wasn't all that better since tomoe grew up thinking he was only valuable if he was good and obidient
you could even tell he was well aware tomoe blamed himself for what happened and used it to subtly manipulate him and if that wasn't enough he seemed unnaffected by the way tomoe's brother treated him, bro if the person I was romantically involved with was abusive towards someone I considered MY CHILD, my feelings would NOT stay the same
she's the ever so perfect do-no-wrong female lead, she'll be the one to defy the odds because of course she will
lol I came back to see what the story was up to and yep, still the same
OP mary sue route for the protag
give her some more chapters and even this guy who apparently HATES her will fall for her too
I've said before, the art is AMAZINGLY STUNNING but it's not enough to carry the story so far atleast for ME, I can't stress this enough it's my PERSONAL OPINION
it's not like it's a bad story but the FL is way too perfect, and all the other characters personalities are based around worshipping the floor the female lead walks on
I don't know it feels bland to me
Spoiler: it has twisted turn tbh
would you care to spoil me?
I myself read a spoiler last week or so. Foggy memory but for me I would rather have it clique soft story where fl has smooth ending than that :') i heard she will die & her fam or smth and get a new vessel
I see, but the thing is My problem with that it's that dying in the end (only to then comback) doesn't really change her character at all or more like it doesn't erase everything up until now it only just gives it a slightly unexpected ending to the already bland story. If the interesting part JUST happens at the end then it's pointless. it's just means that pretty much everything until now won't change
she'll still be an unrealistically perfect FL and the other characters (unless they decide to suddenly make them develope a personality) will still feel one dimensional
also, take into consideration it may not even end like that at all because manhwas usually change a lot of things from the original
AGAIN, and I cannot stress this enough, IT'S JUST MY OPINION
you have every right to like the story, it's a lovely story with amazing art
it's just not for me, I actually dropped it and came back just to see if anything interesting had happened out of curiosity
HOW IS THIS RATED 9.1 !? it sucked
Mggo maggots doing what they do best
