what the hell is going on with the art style istg they changed artists its pissing me off... ofc it still looks good but the older one was loads better
I miss the old one too I can’t tell if it’s the same artist and they just changed the style, or it’s a new another artist attempting to make the art look similar. But it’s definitely different - in particular the faces are rounder and eyes look smaller, and it noticeably affects the ML imo bc his eyes were much more striking before.
Fr. Their face look wider for some reason. Not to mention their hair
The ears stick out a lot outside of chibi form and I’m not sure I’m a big fan of that
i really like the style for this and both MC and ML are pretty cute. the side couple also looks really interesting i hope its alpha x alpha. i like that ML isnt super cold and elitist and actually gets flustered by MC as well (pretty rare in BL). anyway my issue with this is just the MC acts too much like the cliche schoolgirl trope .. like stand your grown ass up and talk to him lol....
okay this cleared some things up.. i genuinely thought the emperor dude was shin yooyoung from a past life bc of the same face syndrome and the purple eyes but... i guess not..? YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there are a bunch of topics that are saying they genuinely thought lewellyn was a dog and im over here scratching my head because the fact that it was a metaphor was literally spoonfed to you BY the comic. like they literally TOLD you, "hey, so obviously lewellyn was engineered to kill people and he was mentally conditioned to think a certain way, so of course he thinks he a dog and is treated like one"... and the art of him AS a dog (namely, a german shepherd which is often deployed by the police/military) is only being used for emphasis... of course lewellyn isnt a dog youre all frying me
fr… They really thought my man shavonne was making out with a REAL dog I fear some people may be traumatized by some stories to get to this conclusion so can’t blame em
im not gonna lie noona is so hot but i read the raws and im nervousssss
spoil me!
ME TOOO (ノ≧∇≦)ノ
SPOILER WARNING
i cant give clear spoilers bc i actually dont know korean and i was js kind of inferring from the images and i also read them at 3AM so i dont remember the storyline clearly but...
- jinhyeong has a dream abt noona/flashback abt noona and gains a sense of ominous premonition
- uyun has an assignment or something and noona is in his group
- jinhyeong sees noona and kind of balks at her and noona looks away with a pained expression
- there are flashback chapters abt what happened between jinhyeong and noona back then, looks pretty messy and complicated, honestly no clue what happened but at the end jinhyeong felt nauseous when noona confronted him and embodied his father and said some stuff that made her cry
- after the flashback chapters we see jinhyeong stop noona by grabbing her wrist
- jinhyeong and noona talk it out and they look stiff at first and then jinhyeong gives noona a picture with him acting crazy and tells her about his true self (he seems to be going through a character arc about self acceptance)
- its a good resolution
***i have no idea when this part down here occurs its somewhere around here****
- eunohs acting really horny as usual and its revealed the brown haired TA with glasses is actually a gym rat and is really strong or something. eunoh lusts(?) after brown haired TA until he finds out hes actually RELATED to him. eunoh then feels up seungbum hyung (i think thats his name) somewhere down the line. eunoh is a goddamn sex offender and whore jesus christ.
****thats all ill say about eunoh****
- some filler stuff happens and jinhyeong ends up going on an away trip with the other TAs
- seungbum hyung is kind of a focus here
- jinhyeong gets nervous about something and drinks a lot and thinks a bit of uyun
- hes drinking alone until seungbum hyung comes in and drinks with him
- they get blackout drunk and seungbum hyung passes out on top of jinhyeong
- uyun calls jinhyeong out of worry and then seungbum drunkenly replies
- uyun is obviously going insane
- jinhyeong wakes up to seungbum on top of him and thinks its uyun at first and then comes to his senses. he folds seungbum into a doormat and he sees a billion messages from uyun and gets nervous
- uyun arrives at the door to the dorm (?) from the trip looking terrifying
- i think jinhyeong explains the situation and it resolves
this is all i remember
in replies
this is like erha but european lol. im actually really enjoying the story? im especially weak to artstyles like this but the premise was also intriguing... i read the novel and im really excited for the adaptation.
idgaf if people hate redhead over here but there are genuinely semes ten trillion times worse all over this site and yall glaze them to hell and back so im gonna enjoy his apathetic narcissistic hypocritical sadistic character all i want. and im just glad real deranged mentally ill MLs are back (huzzah!). do i support his actions? hell no! do i think MC deserved infinitely better treatment? hell yes! do i like ML's character? well yeah! he shouldve ended up with ME!!! joke of course but you get the idea.
anyway yeah this is merrily going in my marinating list
Do you have any spoiler please, pleaaaaaase ?
is the novel complete?
indeed! however ive only found one sight with ENG translations for free and the epilogue is paywalled, so im waiting for the manhwa to adapt (which will probably take forever lol)
i can link a site to read the novel, if you'd like. if not, what kind of spoilers do you want? like to what degree?
count me in w the spoilers plss
yea i can give u guys spoilers but im just not sure how much to give? like are we talking the entire story or what?
Facts he is not best but not worst people forgetting seme is young and prince it's valid that he would be arrogant and selfish that's how any average next in line emperor would behave especially when he knows that people around him are trying to kill him at least he is not sharing uke with others i seriously hate those plot where seme share their uke with others this seme is obsessed and crazy for uke.
like major spoilers, important stuff that happens pls?
this was incredibly written and the ending was super satisfying, but i have a couple of questions (hoping someone could maybe clear them up?)
*edit: atp this is just a dump for all my unanswered thoughts lmao pls excuse the word vomit
1) i know that lewellyn was shown to be taking sleeping pills when he was being transported between his jobs to kill targets, but was it ever stated why he had an adverse reaction when shavonne drugged him without his knowledge?
2) what happened with the candle shavonne took from his apartment... or with the candles in general? was it just a murderer gimmick thing or does it have any deeper meaning/significance in the story?
3) why were people looking to lewellyn for sex near the beginning (prostitution)?
4) did lewellyn ever actually work (i know he left the apartment complex often but i dont think it was ever mentioned where he was going)? after shavonne and lewellyn become lovers why does lewellyn still not tell shavonne what he does for a living?
5) was lewellyn really ever wealthy? and if so how did he get the money?
6) why are lewellyn's nails blackened? was it just a byproduct of his environment at lute?
7) why did turner try to come on to shavonne if his job was only to seduce & monitor shavonne (since fawkes also seemed surprised when shavonne told him)? sure, turner could just be tactless scumbag, but did he actually become enamored with shavonne? like what would the point of trying to rape him be if he actually had a life outside of the fake editing and only wanted the money?? glad he got castrated
8) maybe more of a commentary rather than a question: lewellyn was obviously struggling with some serious trust/dependency issues (e.g. believing shavonne was lying about loving him) right up until his flashback chapters because of shavonne's behavior in the past (which is super understandable), but it seems like it was just dropped/resolved without explanation later on?? like yes lewellyn confronted shavonne about his distancing behavior during the turner arc but that was later on and less about lewellyn's own mentality and more about shavonne's decisions (it seemed like lewellyn was already obedient and accepting of shavonne wholeheartedly by then)... so my question is: was this fleshed out more in the novel or is it just a flaw of the writing?
i think i can answer some or at least theorize some, cause these are interesting
*feel i should add that some of these answers might be spoilers*
4) i think this time right before shavonne was trying to convince him to stop killing, he was hunting those officers from the lute prison( it was shown in his flashback about his time at lute) after that, I honestly don't know. I literally thought lewellyn just liked walking around, gathering his thoughts
5) My guess is that his money came from the assassinations he did when he was considered 'the dog', but im still unsure with this because the type of people his "brother" & dr.fawkes were, highly doubt they was paying him anything
6) Its a byproduct of his environment at lute and I think it serves a reminder to him too, never forgetting what done to him at lute
7) I felt fawkes being surprised at that moment was fake, as we know it was him that always setting up shavonne with guys so he can monitor his mental state. I also feel that fawkes had to have done some mental conditioning to them as well, because they got easily obsessed with shavonne rather quickly. but yeah, turner deserved all he got and the previous boyfriend deserved it too.
spoiler warning
Please note I’m doing stuff based on memory and trying not to make things too long so it’s easier to read- these answers are coming from a novel reader which I can link if wanted !
1- It was implied why he had that reaction in the novel since lewellyn has an abnormal physical condition, he is hypersensitive and doesn’t have tolerance for medication so because of the experiments done on him he gets like that. So (assuming here) taking those meds he sleeps way more than the average person and would have woken up by himself but since he was taking long he freaked shavonne out. (Hopefully this makes sense)
2- (assuming here too) shavonne got rid of the candle and since lewellyn said “smells are disgusting when they mix” he put those candles to help cover up the smell of the dead body or neutralize the smell so that people can’t smell it and get him exposed. Also He put the body there since he was probably transporting it since he only killed people who helped tortured him and put their bodies on display so that past guards of lute feel threatened.
3-Lewellyn is beautiful. It’s rare to find a beauty in the slums so people assumed he sells his body to get by because of his looks
4- Lewellyn did not work other than being an assassin and it’s never said if he got anything out of it but I’m 100% sure he didn’t get anything. Trying to give the least amount of spoilers in case you read the novel but he kills a “teacher” of his who was training him to kill and stole his money and shavonne did ask but he was afraid of the answer lewellyn would give him so he changed topic
5- since he stole a good amount of money from a rich man he was pretty well off I’d say
6-user Lachrimosa explained this already :))
7-I agree with the other user reply to this question but also I think fawkes was genuinely kinda shocked I think turner in his mind thought that by forcing him to have sex with him shavonne would somehow come to like him or form some kind of closer relationship since he was getting frustrated how much shavonne wasn’t responding to his flirting and he was just a greedy bitch basically he didn’t actually like shavonne
8-This is difficult to answer and I won’t be able to… I have the same thoughts as well the author doesn’t detail this part and it disappointed me I wanted them to sit down and have a heart to heart about what happened
This is kinda rushed please let me know if I need to explain better …
okay fuck now im not sure. thank GOD kwon actually brought up that shin yooyoung does things without his consent half the time, that felt refreshing.
