Gosh these manhuas are so easy to predict yet at the same time, leaves me speechless with how dumb and childish the characters sound at times.
The scene with the ml was going nicely until he acted childish af outta nowhere, that “dancing around” was just... no.
Wacky art and plot is one thing but the translations too?? Goddamn, this a whole package of “everything wacky”.
I— I knew it. The moment I caught a glimpse of the emperor, I alr fell for him. It was too bizarre. I knew there was no way I would fall for the ml so fast but turns out the title of this manga is really misleading. Turns out the emperor is just a side character.
Sigh.. me and my side characters syndrome
I might get shit for what I’m boutta say but keep in mind that it’s my personal opinion, no need to feel furious if you disagree.
So I’ve been team Lloyd since the beginning after knowing he truly loves Alto for who he is and not bc of the sudden sex change. I’ve been rooting for Alto to choose Lloyd and not Lune but now I’m not so sure about it. Don’t get me wrong, that does not mean I prefer Lune now lol. I just feel like Alto doesn’t deserve Lloyd for some reason. It rubbed me the wrong way when Lune started talking about his “pitiful” childhood and compared himself to Lloyd, making himself look pitiful infront of Alto and Alto on the other hand kept comparing Lune to Lloyd every second like?? If you hate him, make your god damn mind. They kept talking shit about Lloyd without his presence. Lune didn’t even use to like Alto at all and seeing him taking the “lead” now that Alto goes through sex change every night is just— nah. There’s no character growth in Lune, no offence. It irked me when Alto told Lloyd to leave when he finally got Lune to fuck him like bruv wtf. It pained me so much when I tried to put myself in Lloyd’s shoes. Imagine someone you love dearly can’t even make up their mind, tells you to leave them alone when they’re having sex with someone else right infront of you. Tells you how much they hate you all the time and talks behind your back. Compares you to someone else while putting you down. God, I would be so heart broken and would just give up on that person. I wouldn’t care less if they start to like me even a bit if all they do is compare me to someone else they’re fucking and constantly makes me feel left out when we’re all three together.
Because of such thought, I kept thinking throughout the story, what if a new character were introduced? He or she could be someone who truly loves Lloyd and understands him well.
I imagined Lloyd and that person walking in on Alto and Lune talking about Lloyd and Alto, being himself, would be complaining again about how “thoughtless” or “carefree” Lloyd is and how he doesn’t like him at all, yada yada, and then that person would step in and stand up for Lloyd, letting them know all the good sides of Lloyd and dash off furiously afterwards. Lloyd, being taken a back by his friend’s outburst, he would run after them. Leaving both Alto and Lune speechless.
And so, days and weeks go by with Lloyd slowly starting to feel something for his friend. Ah.. Alto would definitely not like it when Lloyd starts giving him less and less attention and at one point tells him he’ll stop “helping” Alto with the curse thing since he has Lune by his side, and that he’ll definitely find a way to break the curse.
Alto realising his feelings for Lloyd after he loses him for someone else and regretting not giving him credit for all the kind gestures?? Cherry on top of the cake.
Damn I really made a whole new scenario huh. See this is what love triangle does to me. ㅠㅠ
Since many stories like this have male lead with black hair and dark aura, I was 100% sure Cabel is the ml but then the blondie got introduced. And how he was perceived by the fl and when they first met compared to how cabel got introduced to us, their moment seemed more “fitting” for a typical shoujo story, if I can put it that way? And I kept getting the strong ml vibes from blondie until he started acting sus. Something second lead or one of the side characters usually act around the beginning of the story. And then Cabel started giving stronger ml vibes and now idk anymore
While binge reading, I been pulled all over the places with all those hot male characters,, especially Kuon’s dad but I wasn’t as fond of Ren as any other side characters bc that’s literally how my brain works. Side characters = big d energy. But as each chapter passed, with author’s art style also changing, Ren having his hair pulled back as well in all the recent chapters,, might I say.. dADDY— Ren might be one of the few ml that I actually approve of. He been giving off the biggest big d energy in the recent chapters I’m shocked. In a good way.
