I really love the king tbh.
We hardly ever get to see a king (or emperor even) that's so aware of reality and even voices it. (And I'll not really count the few VERY old guys we get to see for 3 chapters and then a new guy takes the crown, just so we are clear on that. XD)
I hope we get to see more of him later on. He seems like a decent leader. And maybe if our main couple needs help, he'll be available for slapping someone across the face. :)
My review will be short because there is legit nothing to adress here besides the obvious fact this is the type of 'deep' and 'cool' story a 14 year old horny teenager would think of when writing a self-insert fanfiction. And it's about as appealing too.
The writing is below average, the main character just pitiful, the guy who just acts like a dog in heat is dislikable and unappealing in every way except looks. And the ending is just obnoxiously weird, rushed and bland. Making the already dislikable story even more dislikable.
Even the smut scenes are not appealing. They look more like sketch practice for different poses, but not the interesting kind except maybe 2 in the entire comic.
It's not worth reading tbh. Not even as jack off material I would recommend this because even those scenes lack any appeal.
I hope that artist tries to make more comics, the artstyle is decent enough, but the writing needs ALOT of improvement.
EDIT: And speaking of bad writing...what happened to the hotel thing?
The story introduced itself as if it was about a hotel in which depraved minds meet all the time, but after that brief fucking in the hotel literally NOTHING was related to the hotel, BDSM folks and others, etc.. So that intro was quite frankly a waste of time and a random distracting point for the story. XD
If you bother setting a story up and pretend something is important, you have to make it important, otherwise your writing will just come off as lackluster and halfassed.
It's interesting but I can see it's issues. Not sure if that is due to the translations tho, there are a few mistakes here and there but the 'red pandas are pands/bears' would be hard to mistranslate I think. (This info is wrong btw: Red Pandas are NOT bears, they are in the superfamily of musteloidea, which includes skunks, martens, raccons and so on. Red Pandas are their own standalone family and the last of 3 left in it.)
I hope the translations and info will be decent and not just the story getting halfassed info when it comes to animals. I'm very keen on accuracy with this, so I hope it'll do well in that aspect.
Not sure how long this will be an interesting read but I'll definitely give it a try. :)
Okay, but that opener tho! XD
Asking to be defiled to get away from the spouse sure is a new one, damn.
I like the baseplot of this. Seems really interesting despite the logical flaws it already has (redheads being apparently lesser than slaves, yet her family happily taking her in and even the emperor accepting her as a fiance, that would NOT be realistic if society views redheads as lesser than slaves, her being halfbred wouldn't matter either).
The writing DOES have it's issues (as does the translation, quite a few panels are questionable and many pages are in disorder), but I think for a casual read with no grand expectations this should be good enough.
The mid art I can overlook, but the writing is just not good. It's random and feels like a rough draft rather than a cohesive story.
Really not gonna bother with this. Maybe someone else will if they are really bored, it's probably good to boredly flip through pages.
Hope both the art and story become better from this author(s?) because there's much to learn, young Jedi.
The story felt very good so far but I think this ending feels like the typical thing I like to call 'long comic syndrome' where the author just wants to finish, no matter what, hence they rush the ending.
I get that both bad guys are dealt with now, but it feels in no way satisfying.
If we had at least SEEN the issue with the chairman and arrogant brat this might be slightly different but as it is it's rather unsatisfying. Which isn't really good writing since the point from chapter one WAS the revenge.
You can't advertize a whole comic as being a revenge plot, people expecting the satisfaction at the end of seeing said revenge play out beautifully, and then not give even a sliver of that.
Feels very much like the author just didn't want to bother with the story anymore and rushed to get to the final half-assedly. That's a real shame since I cannot stand all these social politics plots but I bit through just to get a good ending. Which now I didn't get. :/
I know there are 2 chapters left, but neither the arrogant brat will likely get more of a trashing nor will there be a sudden romance developing more between MC and Wacko. (Which was also disappointing, they are STILL more of a situationship than a romantic relationship, so that's also quite disappointing.)
Yeah it's very disappointing, all novel readers were upset by how this season was handled, the artist took too many liberties and didn't stick to the source material
Is the ending more detailed then or is it about the same, bland-type of plot conclusion?
Do you recommend the novel? If there is a more satisfying ending I'd read it
I like the couple and would like to see/read more of them
Just yeah more in a relationship haha I love their craziness
And do U perhaps have a link ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Yeah the ending really disappointed me too
I would say that the novel is waaay more detailed but it's also darker. The artist took too many liberties and ended up making director Kim look lame. The one in the novel is way scarier and way more horrifying for the things that him and his people do. I would definitely recommend reading the novel. I was so excited to see the lasts chapters in the comic but the artist, unfortunately, did not handle it well. It's disappointing indeed
I'll definitely put the novel on my to-read list then. Sounds like it's another one for the list of must reads. :)
Thanks so much for the info!
It's sad the comic is not doing the original source justice but I suppose at least we can hope it's good advertizement for the novel to make people want to read it to see how it is written in a decent way.
Indeed! Also before reading the novel do check the trigger warnings because, in my opinion, the topics that it covers can be very heavy. I hope you like the novel or at least enjoy reading it! and it also has 2 more books, and out of them all I think my favourite is the second one. Have a nice reading!
Will do, I'm quite used to even messed up topics and can shrug them off usually, but I'll check regardless. Thanks for the warning. (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Oh~, multiple books sounds good. I'm sure if the non-detailed comic was interesting, the full length novel(s) will be great.
Thanks alot for your help and happy holidays. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
exactly! Happy holidays ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
This is such a perfect mess of a story. Hot damn.
I was hoping we'd get a cute 3rd personality, so I wonder how this is gonna play out after our hikikomori Golden Retriever seme discovered dick after saying he's hungry.
I mean we KNOW what'll happen but still. You know what I mean. XD
I'm a fan of these multiple personality stories btw. It gives options for multiple tastes to come together and enjoy a story. And here we got one more than is usually the norm. NICE~
I really REALLY hope the author doesn't make this chasing arc too short.
He NEEDS TO look for him in desperation and come to realize his wrongdoings over a longer period of time for him to be even remotely likable again after what he did.
Hopefully this will not be one of those quick, shitty endings just to get them together. Him saying sorry for one panel and then them fucking for another 50 before it's hApPy EnD for them. （￣へ￣#）
100% agreed!
I'm afraid the author os gling to make it like that
Goes to show that even official websites aren't the best at translating correctly.
Glad we got this cleared up now.
(Still wonder how tf 'innocent' turned into 'hes a literal child'. I REALLY hope Lehzin doesn't have some of those garbage localizers that just pull shit outta their ass like american anime dubs so often do lately.)
i mean, i refer to grown adults as "a literal child" all the time and i don't mean it literally so i'd be real curious to see the original in korean
and even without that, this official translation is full of typos so like... yeah, someone's not paying attention in the editorial dept
Me too.
I know some things are hard to translate from one language to another, since they have specific meaning that you need to understand rather than just read and translate one to one, but THIS doesn't exactly seem like one of those moments. It's a pretty big jump from first glance. XD
Well, let's just say localizers these days aren't exactly tested for their quality and accuracy anymore. So what's a few typos, eh? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
At least they aren't turning their translation job into an Abridged Series like those you find on YouTube. (Or not yet anyway. Who tf knows.)
