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︶) (⌒▽⌒)
So in a lot of Yaois I read recently the btm is "wet" when the top is fingerbanging him. Wtf does that even mean? And these weren't ABO's (which is a topic in itself lol) either so I'm really confused if its just clueless authors writing this shit or if its literal shit .-.
I have seen it in some I have read but I think they are talking about their dick lol(≧∀≦)
Older yaoi authors didn't seem to know about lube and basic physiology. So either it's their dick or cluelessness.
cultural and language difference. when they are talking about "wet" it's the dick.
Thats what i thought at first. However I've seen panels where the seme is clearly not giving the front attention, and in the next panel he just pulls his hand up all seductivly and it looks like he fisted a mayo jar.
One of the more funny issues some yaois have so I don't mind lol
[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

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 ╮(￣▽￣)╭
