So my girl just finished eating pancakes, made out of processed flower, whisked with a proper metal whisk, in a plastic bowl on a 1910s kitchen counter - and she doesn't know what sugar is?
I'm all for cottagecore fluff but at this rate she's gonna say she doesn't know what a horse is since she has a tesla truck. At least try to be consistent on some level.
her grandfather probably just didn’t buy any because it was expensive and since she never talked to anyone then she didn’t hear about it. Plus, the townspeople wouldn’t have been able to afford it anyway.
My point was more that even though I know manhwas take s lot of liberties when it comes to historical accuracy it's usually more choeesive and thoughtful. For example, everyone's dresses might be from different periods, but good style make it work, that and the exposure to tropes like that.
However if your story puts a focus on some cottagecore inspired, set in some ambiguous middle ages, life of an outcast, it requires a lot more work.
It's weird if a poor executionor has a wire mesh fence from the hardware store. It doesn't make sense that she's never heard of sugar she she has baking powder to make pancakes rise. I can see the sugar being the refind kind, but I can't see her having a well off familiar kitchen cabinet from a decade later.
It just goes on and on and it honestly makes it seem like there was hardly any care put into it which is such a missed opportunity.
Ahhh, I get what you’re saying now~~ I still think it’s a cute story, though a little more on the historically inaccurate side, haha (︶o︶) (⌒▽⌒)
I can't with the 2007 clip-in streaks. Never imagined seeing reject scene hair and discount cutsyuwu Rococo dresses in the same picture - and there might be a reason I haven't.
I mean the mc is pretty bland too but holy shit does it annoy me how just flat, one note, boring and tired the female characters are.
People are out here complaining "why is she using fire even tho he told her not to".
That's her only purpose. She's just there to make the mc look better by being worse - since being op isn't enough already.
They're just the personification of simps with boobs because of course that's everything women are /s
Im just going to reread solo levelling. It does have some "look at how amazed I am by the mc uwu" too but not as blatant and femaleexclusive.
“Simps with boobs” lmao
But yeah, I hate when female characters are written like that.
Also read FFF trash hero webtoon with an mc who doesn’t give a fuck about anyone else.
Lol I'm reading it and I absolutely love the mc. A breath of fresh air.
I think she used fire to eliminate the monster's ability to see for a second so they can run away and hide. But I could be wrong, just my guess ┐(´ー｀)┌
Idk why but these characters remind me of flounders. Interesting in concept and not quite two-dimensional but still flat and low-key dead behind the eyes.
Like so much of what they do and express is just so... inconsequential? Expected? Emotionally nonsensical?
Usually story's are plot and/or character driven but with this manhwa it just feels like they're just floundering about.
I can never look at flounders the same way again
We’re you expecting emotion because Royal Servant was so good and emotional
I know all manga/manhwa are written in caps but with this one it really feels like it's in ALL CAPS lol
...
Wish they actually had something to say that wasn't tired af tho.
Calling him a psycho because he's not the usual character stereotype. He just seems kinda autistic?
That, and the obsession over who's the bottom and who isnt just creeps me tf out.
I get manga is usually quite far out there but like... what are even you doing?
Idk what's worse, cis women drooling over gay sex positions or cis dudes drooling over lesbians. Oh wait - it's a tie :D
YOU ARE SO RIGHT WITH THAT. like who the fuck cares who is who? like irl normally couples are switch, it is only in BL world that you have this seme-uke binary...and yeah, he seems to be autistic (I have a cousin who is, and they are very similar) but that does not mean he is crazy, he just has different patterns to interact with others...jezz people should grow up a bit
Don't ship real life people irl pls.
Someone else treating your sexuality as some alien object, doing what they want with it while just being annoyingly insistent about it?
Ive met people like that and uh... fun times! /s
Like the manga feels almost selfaware, making the shipper an alien, since if they were human it would've just been plain creepy lol.
I'm probably going to get downvoted into oblivion but this just hits a little too close to home lol
Why are they all wearing business suits if all they do is hang around the same block to bump into each other. I'm not saying I want to see them work, I just want them to have a character outside of being hot and cold.
But then again, it's in the bloody title.
Complete and utter nonsense, clownery and tomfoolery. And don't get me started on the pacing and panels . They don't just act like cardboard cut outs, they look the part too.
[Spoilers ch38] The whole "racist toward orcs" joke really falls flat when you look at how orcs were conceived originally by Tolkien. Following that up with evil sex demons gives me even more pause.
Be it the same old unexamined tropes that tend to plague this genre, lining up in unfortunate ways, or just some purity obsessed zelot witting this, the "godly" setting of this story can hardly avoid these topics but does not engage with them in any meaningful manner.
That is besides that after 300 years the protagonist could become this kind of manic crusader/missionary. However, that train of thought is quickly abandondend in lieu of edgy yelling about faith and a lot of yellow effects.
I know "it's not that deep" and most protagonists of these kinds of story are morally grey, but somehow this story manages to circle back weirdly close to the origins of those tropes, be it intentionally or not. Especially since it goes beyond the usual rightous framing, and adds a religious one. ...And that weirds me out as someone who hasn't had the best experiences with that "framing" irl lmao
9/10 art
Conflicted about the rest/10... Actually, no. He's like a polytheistic racist Jesus beaming souls up to heaven. Not the kind of op I was looking for. I'll pass ╮(￣▽￣)╭
The way he views orcs is so off-putting. The things he keeps saying like "a good orc is a dead orc" is literally reminiscent of what genocidal maniacs like nazis would say
+ i really think this manhwa would still be able to function without it
Imagine getting a thumbs down just coz you were right ╮(￣▽￣)╭
