Rin's Manga

Not super deep into the story yet but I just want to say that the experience of being a closeted gay person was written very well in this story. As a closeted queer person myself, reading about the main character’s feelings and experiences of being in the closet hit close to home. “Why can’t you be normal?” That scene tore me apart because I had a sibling who asked me the same exact thing when I was dating someone of the same gender, I trusted them enough to tell them about who I was dating because they were openly supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. Yet I was met with the same judgement that I was always so afraid of as a closeted queer person. “There are some things that you can’t say because you are family” that part is true as well. I can never tell the rest of my family who and what I am because I know that I will never be accepted, and that the love and affection that they have for me now will all be gone once they know who I truly am. I didn’t expect to go in full detail of my life in a mangago review of all things, but perhaps the anonymity of this site and how much the main character’s story resonated with me activated my yap button lmao.

Beautiful art and story!!! The duplicate chapters are a little confusing though, especially since some have more panels than the other? Regardless, the translations are super good :) it’s rare to see good translations for Chinese Manhuas. I haven’t read the novel but I heard from people who have say that it was full of angst… time to brace ourselves I guess!! T-T

LMAOOOOO WHO UPLOADED THE WRONG MANHWA ONTO THE RECENT CHAPTERS WTF

hope the crown prince gets his shit rocked real soon, looking forward to it

Is there like… some sort of censorship in this, why is the blood in this manhwa purple lol

Wait… I had to go back and reread chapter 1 multiple times, is the emperor not like 20+ years older than her? Why is he handing her flowers and seemingly courting her? Or is it the first prince after inheriting the throne? Hope it’s not actually the original emperor bc that’d be weird asf lol

The translations kinda fell off in the later chapters, what does it mean when Daniel says “Even if your illness is caused by people’s malice?” Does that mean people’s negative opinions and thoughts about Litia caused her illness? Or does that mean someone deliberately cast the illness on her? Also it might just be because of the awkward and sometimes incomprehensible translations but the development between Litia and Daniel seems to be going a little too fast. One second she says she wants to be friends with him and the next he’s licking her tears, kissing her and she’s confessing to him? They barely had any chances to communicate and understand each other compared to the other male leads. The reason why her bond with the other male leads is much more appealing compared to Daniel’s in the first place is because she was genuinely kind and wanted to help them remain safe and fulfil their wishes. Their relationship was clearly platonic even after the male leads developed romantic feelings for her, they didn’t expect her to recuperate their feelings. However with Daniel it seems she is becoming the very person she dislikes, she becomes naive and clueless like Ariel and dismisses the warnings her artificial spirit gave her. She makes the people around her anxious and worried for her just to meet Daniel whenever she pleases. Instead of the usual slow pacing (from friends to falling in love) the author uses the “love at first sight” trope for both Litia and Daniel, with Daniel being the one taking more time to fall in love with her. This feels rather unnatural and makes it seem as if the author’s just trying to pair the main character up with one male lead and wrap up the story. The other male leads have more chemistry with Litia than Daniel if I’m being honest. Their bond was slowly cultivated and not rushed, even if Litia fangirled over their appearances she didn’t act like a lovestruck fool. I don’t understand why the author felt the need to suddenly take away all of that just to make it obvious that Daniel was end game. Furthermore, I understand Litia ordered Eugene and Cain to investigate rumours about her to keep them safe away from the crown prince but it seems as if the author decided to completely discard the both of them and just focus on pairing Daniel and Litia together urgently. Kinda strange honestly, ever since Daniel entered the story the slow and perfect pace has been distorted.
