I think if I binged it at this point it'd be pretty hot, but when you open a new chapter update and it's all smut, it's kind of nothing at least for me tbh. You need to sparkle in a little bit of lore to make me care. Lore is to smut what foreplay is to sex. Then again, I know my place, and what the target audience wants from this manhwa so it's not even a criticism, just an observation
The art of panelling is the fundamental tool that artists use to evoke a certain atmosphere, to change the pace of the story and to highlight the emotional key points in the story. There are many different panelling techniques, for example, if many panels are drawn to a scene that only last a moment, it invokes the feeling of slow motion. As webtoon formats are becoming more popular, leaving a large blank space to reveal a shocking twist after scrolling is also really useful. Then, there is the panel breaking technique. While it can be used casually, such as when a new character is introduced, it can also evoke a feeling of discomfort. Many horror artists permit their character breaking through the panels, as they intrude on your space. One of the notable examples of this, is the manga Chainsaw man, which uses this technique to maximize the impact of the fears that plague humanity. To put it simply, it breaks the wall between the reader and the character, it removes the feeling of security you have as you read someone else's story.
Which is why it shocked me to see that goddman fick waving at me in the first chapter what the hell
I legit got hate comments on here before, but this is genuinely the most upsetting reply I've ever got. I stop my life for 30 minutes to type out a long ass nothing comment in a second language, just so I can deliver a punchline that's not that funny, and you think I used chatgpt??? No!! No I willingly put effort into this stupid comment, and I deserve my credit >:(
Really lovely art, characters and atmosphere, bit you can really feel that the characters are kids lol
"I have this secret dark side, that I hide from everyone...When someone excessively rude to me, I frown and stop being polite" "I also have this super secret dark side... Usually I smile like a good like like this ^^ but when my dark side comes out I smile like this ,':} and I'm also not nice to people when they're very rude to me AND!!!! I have an undercut"
Wow watch out for these delinquents, they're gonna mess you up hahaha
I mean, I'm so happy that both of the sister love each other, but!!! What the hell?!!!
The butler, the prince, the sister and her friend, they all knew what she was doing and none of them said anything??? None bothered to support her or let her know that she's not alone in this. Awkward handwave does not cut it at the revelation that you knew that your sister has been sacrificing ber social life, reputation, mother, school performance, love life and safety to protect you! She literally asked to be treated as a slave, she expected to die there, surely there could've at least been a hug! This is a story about sisters god damn it, I love to see a long haired king winning, but that can wait!!!
fuck, your right!! she legit destroyed her whole life just for her own sister happiness and not one of them thought of the mental strain she was going through?? can understand the sister not telling her since it would pretty much destroy her whole plan but the others?! why not?! she thought she was going to die then and there or be reduce to a commoner or hell leave the country!!? she was ready to DIE for her!! I feel so bad for mc tbh but I'm glad that she got the happy ending she deserves
it says that her sister was also willing to sell herself to save wellmy to the marquess, which prob meant she also knew that wellmy was trying to save her and used her life as a gambling chip to save wellmy from the family or conviction? def hope to see diff pov’s tho lol I haven’t seen her sister speak
Small nitpick, and I totally get if this comment is disliked, but the artistic decision of putting her bangs completely over her eyes in this chapter is not great. I get when an eye shows through bangs to clarify the expression of the character, but they completely covered both of her eyes, yet made them be the central focus of the panel.
Do other characters see her expression?? They clearly do, so I don't understand why it's drawn like this. Horrified eyes peeking under wind swept bangs is great. Wind blowing her hair to the side completely to emphasize her mortified expression is great. This just looks like a weird helmet or a visor. Idk, it really is just a nitpick, but since the art has been so amazing through out, it stood out to me in such an emotionally heavy scene.
Guys I love Abel as much as everyone here, but the fact that the story isn't centred on him is a fantastic thing. The reason why we're all enjoying this story, is because the author clearly cares about telling a good story with interesting characters. You and I both want to see some rising romantic tension between our two main characters, but think of all the other manhwa's, where the plot that we've been establishing for a season would've been summed up in a chapter or two, just so they could get to smut quicker. Think of how samesy they start to feel.
Would you care about Abel as much, if you were only told that he's kind? Of course not, you care, because you saw the slow, but meaningful effort he puts into caring for others. I wouldn't care about the side characters, if we were just told they all like Abel, and that maybe they're also friends. Instead, we're shown how they each viewed him, how they view each other and how Abel's absence has changed them.
Idk, it takes a lot of courage in my opinion to try to sell bl manga to as many people as possible and still insist on telling a good slow paced story. It automatically makes me trust the author's competence and I think this will be great.
You are right. It's a very good story. I read it so carefully as a precious story into a good book.
