Ah the unique pain of a story that’s got a good premise and good characters and pacing and timing… but the art sucks. ╥﹏╥
gurl the art isn't even that bad
the art is fine wdym
I literally rolled my eyes when the duke’s feelings and behavior did a 180. And I knew as soon as the MIL showed up she was going to love the FL.
It’s not ridiculous that they happened, just that they happened so quickly with no setup. What does the duke love about the FL? Why is he suddenly so open about his feelings and with his actions? Who is this MIL? Why should I care about anything she has to say when I literally had no idea she existed two seconds ago?
It’s like the authors are ticking off a checklist of popular tropes that readers love without realizing why readers love them. They want the instant gratification of character growth without having to invest the work to actually describe how it happened.
Yeahh. Usually its like indifference -> interest piqued -> notices her more -> falls in love over time but he went from interest piqued to devoted heart body and soul in 3 panels.. I bet they will say she's got some special ability or there's "destiny" between them
LMAO THREE PANELS. I wish you were wrong but they really did do that.
" devoted heart body and soul in 3 panels " say that louder (╯°Д °)╯
" ticking off a checklist of popular tropes that readers love " is what the recent authors are doing （/TДT)/
If you don’t like, don’t read. To me, the story is perfectly understandable. It can get frustrating, but that’s what happens in a contemporary romance that doesn’t have magic and action to spice it up. Just admit this isn’t your thing and quietly leave.
I didn’t want to read a montage of their happy life slowly passing, but two time skips in one chapter? That’s too much.
Living for Silas’s switch from cautious gentleman to intense flirt!!! Also not Atra competing with him for Muriel’s affection lmaoooo~
I really like the idea of needing to become a Tara. It separates Astariol/Tara relationships from soulmates, because they weren’t fated from birth or anything. And the idea that persevering through your suffering actually makes you magical in this world is pretty cool.
Ngl what Doyoon did was shitty, but he has the right attitude. If he had just justified the plagiarism as “well this guy deserved it”, that leads to a slippery slope where ANYONE who pisses Doyoon off could also get framed.
So it’s really good that the cost of the plagiarism was Doyoon’s conscience. This is a sin he’ll bear forever, but he’s willing to carry it to save the other idols and songwriters. If it wasn’t for them, he wouldn’t have even thought of ripping off someone’s songs.
I get our girl is out here recreating Starbucks, but it would have been way smarter to make it a more exclusive venue. Start small, let rumors spread, then begin opening up as demand rises.
IDK I just have a hard time imagining snooty nobles standing outside to line up for a casual cafe. Lady Baby and Duchess’s 50 Tea Recipes did it better.
I agree it definitely should’ve been smaller but I definitely disagree on them doing it better.
Lady Baby wasn’t trying to make a serious franchise; the FL initially marketed it as a learning experience for other noble kids. Basically a super high end pop up shop that boosted her reputation as a noble.
Duchess’s 50 Tea Recipes had a tea cafe that was decorated to the noble’s aesthetics. It was a luxurious sit down experience with full courses, so that women could socialize comfortably outside for the first time.
Both series put a lot of thought into why the FL wanted to run this business, who their ideal customer was, and what they offered to draw in rich, aristocratic customers.
If I remember correctly, Gavin wasn’t copying what he was reading word for word. Like, I’m pretty sure she would have noticed if he was quoting romance dialogue because it is SO cringe sometimes. The things he was saying were his own words and thoughts, so it’s unfair to accuse him of scripting the whole thing.
