Spoilers included.
Official WT translation was quite lacking. Egs translation was better.
Mostly fights. Every season kind of follow the same pattern. Plot wise, much is left as most time was spent on filler fights or fights. Many things were left unsolved and unexplained. Loved Frankenstein x Raizel bromance. This manhwa starting was good. But then from lukodonia arc, it got…weird in several aspects. Some characters were done well like Frankenstein. I loved Frankenstein, his personality, his fights, etc, also the special bond Frankenstein and Raizel shares. Author should have worked more on showing their special bond. Then suddenly there was blood-stone added. And then Rai’s brother….no background explanation. It looked like it was added on a whim?
Also, I didn’t like how author dumbed down villains to make good guys shine. Even previously intelligent villains behaved stupidly when author decided to get rid of them, dumbing them down.
I’m still not over Rajak death. Rael character isn’t that likable to me; he just became bearable. I preferred Rajak.
Frankenstein, Rai and Rajak, the only characters I liked. Actually, Tao was fun too. So Tao can be added in there.
And ending, my reaction to ending was: ?????? -_-
Throughout the manhwa, it was emphasized how important the noblesse existence is to keep the world in balance(the three species existing in this world). So Rai’s existence is crucial for world balance. So Raizel could be an ancient existence, who is able to reborn/resurrect like a phoenix. At the end, author decided to keep this being “Noblesse” as mysterious. That’s why we see at the end Frankenstein going back to being an active researcher and researching his master, Noblesse. Also, Franky seemed to have become union head. Or someone who is behind the union now, staying in shadows probably.
From MU, I learned this story has 2 versions. The new version is 2021 version and have more chapters. And this one is old version. So, anyone who has read both versions can they tell me if both have same endings? From comments, it seems old version has a bad/sad ending. So, I just want to ask if there are major differences in new version.
New Version:
27 Chapters + Prologue + 2 Epilogue + Review (Complete)
Old Version:
23 Chapters + Prologue + 1 Epilogue + Review (Complete)
here’s a recommendation of toxic relationship for those who like it dark
Both uke and seme are toxic for each other:
Prequel: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/venus_ni_seppun/
There’s also a sequel.
Concept seemed interesting but there was just something lacking probably because it’s the way it was adapted. As a reader I couldn’t connect with characters or story. And just read coz I just wanted to see it end. The epilogue and sides I still haven’t read (maybe will read later or not) coz bored. Also, there was too much smut once they started banging that it became uninteresting I just fast scrolled through it. Overall, it seemed interesting at first coz of concept but then just…okay. Characters didn’t come off as intriguing too.
I haven’t read the novel, so novel might come off interesting and engaging, who knows. I usually prefer to read novels/original work, but when there’s no good translation, then it can’t be helped.
Nostalgic. Re-read it after so many years. Still liked it. A yummy, delicious read.
And ppl saying uke was annoying, bro, he was a young brat and had a certain personality. He was immature and behaved like one. But he wasn’t stubborn as he listened to other adults’ advice. The couple solved conflicts, and as he grew big, uke’s character developed.
At least he wasn’t like most manhwa ukes, that are dumb, don’t communicate, have no personality, and lack characterization. Lol
It seemed interesting from first 2 chapters, but…. I just passed time. This should have even less chapters. I forced myself to finish it since it wasn’t too long a story. It’s an okay read, but kinda boring for me. It’s kind of bland. I liked bad-boy vibe of the cousin. Characterization is lacking too. And “specials” chapters order seem to be in disorder.
