Would be a lot more sympathetic to the dame, if her focus wasn't just the territory. I think it'd be really interesting conflict, for her to admire who Sylvan was and loath who he is now, but it doesn't seem like any of that affection was ever there, just greed for territory.
I'm really curious as to where this will go (DO NOT SPOIL ME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD), there are two very different, but reasonable endings:
Either Sylhan regains his former glory and power, or he'll make peace with a new life elsewhere. I would be completely content with both endings.
Obviously, him becoming the lord of Khalak is so satisfying. All the injustice would be corrected and he'd get to become who he was, before it was taken from him.
But he isn't the lord of Khalak anymore, he's hurt and he's content with simple happiness. His friends from the past are mostly gone and forcing himself to be a memory of a man long gone doesn't sound pleasant.
Both ending have strong negative implications also, a great deal of people would have to die for Sylvan to regain his throne, and a great deal of people who dedicated their life to the young lord of Khalak would be betrayed by him running away.
He's so right the chubby upper arms are the best part. God bless.
I know they do love each other, but in the last couple of chapters it feels like the chemistry completely ran dry. There's no tention or harmony, just shame and embarrassment.
Well that happened irl. When you suddenly married to your friend, collegues,office buddy that you not dating before. Its awkward as fuck. Even to the people around.
I'm on chapter nine and I can't keep going. It's so infuriating. He gets assaulted, his magic is unfairly sealed and people keep dragging him along as they please, yet it's treated as something mildly annoying. Does his seal ever get undone?????? Or is he just at the mercy of those who mistreat him for the rest of his life??
I only made it to chapter 7 and I'm dreading reading anymore of this. Why are we supposed to be okay with this?
When he was living in seclusion in the first part, it was easy. Sure, he was given a terrible deal and mistreated but at least he was able to live the life he wanted. He seemed very happy and independent. Now he's just a tool, an MP potion in the form of an onahole... And everyone acts like it's not a big deal. He even acts like it's not a big deal.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.
When you address them as seme and uke in the comments, I have no idea who you're going on about. Anyway.
I believe they're reasonable adults and will switch based on odd/even calendar weeks.
if you read the comments, their positions are literally confirmed. the boxer is a top
"I believe they're reasonable adults and will switch based on odd/even calendar weeks." This is such a weird thing to say, because some people irl are strict bottoms/tops, not everybody is a switch and insinuating that they're not "reasonable adult" if they don't switch is just bizarre and shows that you don't really respect people preferences tbh
I'm mainly surprised that while taking my comment at face value, you focused on the reasonable adults part.
As though I was seriously suggesting that they check the fucking calendar to decide who's get dicked down.
"Blimey! I got myself all cleaned up down there, forgetting it's Monday. Oh well, this week I'm on the top duty".
did you not read my comment? stop treating switching as something every gay person does. that was my point, idk how you missed it and as the person above me said, their positions are confirmed so anyway...
Did you not read mine?? I'm sorry for trying to soften the message with sarcasm, I'll speak clearly:
I was calling you a dumbass for taking an obvious joke seriously, as not a single person alive genuinely believes that people decide sex position based on if it's an even or odd week of the year.
I don't care who's the bottom. I don't care if they switch. And I don't even mean that in a snooty "I don't give a shit about this manga" way, I mean that I'm fine with whatever the author decides to do!
I made a joke about how it's confusing to refer to them by sexual positions, when they haven't even had sex then. To idiot-proof my comment, I added a hyperbolic remark about the most ridiculous way to settle top/bottom discourse.
I didn't reply to the other person's comment, because it's just an informative fine comment. I reiterate: It does not upset me in any way that the boxer is the top, that they do not switch nor that some people don't switch.
If you even bother reading this comment, I genuinely do not know what you can be upset at, now that I've so nicely pointed out the joke, and that I do not in fact control the other gay people in my life, if they make sure to switch every week. Hooray!
They're sho cuteeee
Also Christ, Lysbett is looking rough. I love how the artist gradually showed it, instead of just making her really sickly in a later chapter.
I know a lot of people don't like Lysbett, but I do genuinely believe she cares about Sylhan. Perhaps she won't do anything to make his situation better, but there's a certain shithead next-in-line, who would make his situation much worse. However incompetent Lysbett seems, she's serving as a shield for Sylhan in Khalak.
poop vs shit
ROMANTIC FEELINGS CONFIRMED POG POG
I still don't think they'll get together, but bittersweet one sided love is exactly where I think the story should have lead, it'd be nonsensical to make it about just platonic love
This is not a complaint at all, in fact, it was a highlight of the manga for me, but somewhere around the second chapter I was overtaken by this intense feeling of "Himekawa seems kind of dull-headed".
Like I can't even say if the author wanted to make him seem like a secretive character who can play up a role to get what he wants, because he was so empty-headed to me
Again, not complaining at all, imagining Himrkawa's two braincells working overtime to get out any reaction was extremely funny to me. 10/10
Whhhhdhdgrgr. Obviously, the realization that Yvonne is a doppelganger in every ending is a huge thing, as it means that all the cruel deaths Penelope faces in the games might not have been the fault of the characters alone. But. Idk.
My last comment on this manhwa was how happy I am that Penelope has someone on her side, but idk now. Like we've only caught brief glances at what kind of person the real Penelope was, yet the fact that she is so destroyed that her soul crumbled into nothing is so sad to me. Usually, I don't really like it when villainess manhwas do the "the og villainess was always the good one secretly!" thing, but here it works, because it just drives further the point of how alone Penelope always was. Yvonne recognized her, said that Penelope tried to stop her before and I'm thinking about how many times she tried to save everyone and no one believed her.
I never hoped the original Penelope would come back, but I assumed her death was more like falling asleep, them being worn down until there's nothingeft. ARGDHEHHSHAHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU PENELOPE I LOVE THEM BOTH AAAAAAGGHHHHUHU
Anyway on a less sappy note, the reason why this scene works on an emotional level is because the author masterfully build up the relationship between our Penelope and the og Penelope (OgP) from the start. Penelope sympathized with how along OgP must've felt, she refused to accept any apologies that OgP was meant to get and she tried to get OgP's will across, when it mattered. If Penelope never gave a shit about her, if she forgave those who hurt OgP for the sake of building relationships with them and if she constantly thought of her as an idiot, this scene would've meant nothing.
To sum it up: Duchess 50 tea recipes or whatever the fuck could learn a thing or two from this about how to set up important plot points early on
The art style is cute and Yuu was really charming, but God, is Naho difficult to like. She's dishonest until she has no other choice and she doesn't really have object permanence? Once a character she has a conflict with is out of her sight, she doesn't think about their feelings or their complaints.
The story also goes in a weird direction? At the start it's established that Yuu is a disliked guy, who can't communicate well, who girls only talk to get close to Teppei. Then, couple of chapters later, it completely changes! Now Yuu is a guy with his own fan club, who everyone understands to be the brighter, cuter one.
It now makes no sense (except his odd codependent relationship with Teppei) why Yuu agreed to go out with Naho! He didn't know her at all, she didn't know him either, yet he previously rejected other girls who confessed to him?
His struggles with communication IRL completely go away without mention too, when I feel like it should've been the driving force of the plot.
When she didn’t want to tell her friend that she’s in a relationship with Yuu…. She had no real reason to hide it
Stupid beyond saving
Does it get better atleast ? I dropped it because she was annoying lmao
Her friend said she liked yuu and the friend knew she liked tippee for a minute
She only was dishonest one time u act like it was a constant thing and she not telling her friend she was dating yuu isn’t dishonest
she let her friend believe that nothing was going on with Yuu though which is just as weird no matter how you put it.
It’s weird for her friend lie about liking yuu knowing that she and teppie liked each other but just wasn’t together she did exactly what naho did first
And saying she dishonest when everyone except yuu and that one boy was dishonest and how that girl lied about who assaulted her etc and how she blamed them instead of the guys and ruined their lives oh ok being scared to correct someone that u asked the wrong person out is valid because u don’t know how people will react in reality and in manga teppie literally has 2 mask he’s so obsessed with yuu and only believes he can protect him which is scary he even copied his hair but i understand cuz of what they was going through
Are you perhaps allergic to commas and ending sentences? I mean it's a great strategy is you want to get the last word in. If no one can understand what you're saying, then no one can disagree!
Ion know how old are u but just cuz u put periods and commas don’t take away from what u said
