I reported the issue to Mangago about a day ago. Still nothing has been done. If we can all flag it maybe the admins will take the webtoon version off ٩( 'ω' )و
I’ve reported today
I’m so sick of webtoons, they basically have 5 pages worth of content in one “chapter”. Give me back my manga
Makoto is so horribly adjusted that it’s no wonder he’s a violent emotionally unstable mess. Not saying it’s okay to abuse everyone in your life, but it’s logical that he’d end up like that.
So, I like to read some fucked up stuff. Harada is a constant re-read and it’s been over 10 years since I ventured into Hoshi no Yakata. But something about this series really didn’t sit right. It has nothing to do with femdom, my taste in hetero series leans towards femdoms with a toxic depiction of the BDSM community.
Maybe it’s that the writing and length of the series doesn’t lend itself to a doujin-esque “open-and-shut no deep investment” plot or the more story arced psychological territory of Tourou no Ori? I can’t put my finger on it, but something feels wrong.
Like when I read “Now You’re One of Us” but instead of completing the cycle it just ended on the family orgy and shrooms. No actually closure.
Can you please elaborate on your feelings more? I wholeheartedly agree with you and felt very understood while reading this. I can't describe it but it's like, if I had found this story on a hentai site, I would have still read it for the plot and art but wouldn't have left feeling so... strange at the end of it. Maybe it's that it has been going on for 4 years, with 117 slow progressing eps, I've become invested in these characters and I'm sorry, I don't know how to put it... I keep coming back to this comments section to understand my own feelings and why this work left me more traumatised than the works of (as you said) Harada or maybe Koogi's Killing Stalking or Blind Play, works that I consumed and easily put behind me. I have even enjoyed the most brutal/twisted hentai and horror movies without experiencing any bitter aftertaste and yet Sadistic Beauty just made me uncomfortable. The story didn't feel like I was enjoying something decidedly twisted by my own consent but like I was being forced to watch something (this is so out of pocket but it's exactly how I felt) turn into a horrifying demon while people around me rush to worship it and treat it like a God. I didn't feel in control of what I was reading and whatever I was reading felt wrong... somehow.
Really starting to despise this series! It’s like one of those soap operas where the director just keeps making the writers stretch out the storyline. It feels like the writer is really milking this schtick for all it’s worth.
It's irritating but I think they're just putting it on a kinda realistic way to happen it's still better that she was able to divorce that trash and be with prince heinley
Wonder why the currency suddenly changed to won from yen, weird
This is japanese or korean? I dont really getvit tho. Korean who imitatinh japanese or translator who accifently using won rather yen at th first place
It's Japanese it's most likely a mistake in the translation
Maybe there's some korean translations be that change the currency... though doesn't make that much sense
It’s less them/they it’s more of localizations and the inherent difference between Japanese and English. Like with the Crona debacle all those years back, Japanese pronouns are not necessary and can be naturally replaced with a person’s name or just “this person”. Since English needs pronouns for sentence flow translators use them/they. It was actually a misunderstand on Nao’s part, because everyone just used Sakuragi-san as no one was close to her, that led Nao to use the suffix Kou-kun because of the ambiguity of the Japanese language. “Kun” implies male but the language is changing and is becoming slightly more gender neutral. That why in the first episode with Kou-kun in the anime, the translators used “he/him” while in the coffee store despite the Japanese not having a pronoun in the dialogue at all.
End of Japanese Language lecture.
This is a historical manga, any historical literature’s gonna have some level of sexism and misogyny. Talk about the publishers covering their ass
