The story is very good at manipulating my emotions
When Camus Morg was first introduced, her character was the perfect depiction of an overused female lead trope where she falls in love with the MC after he defeated her. And constantly hound him hereafter.
As a chronic webnovel/webcomic reader, I instantly felt displeasure to this. Her character revolves around one person, Vikir.
She's a flat character when she was first introduced, and her character or backstory, as well as her attitude, didn't compel any emotion from me. In conclusion, for me, she was unnecessary to the story.
Just think about it.
Before she became a demon, if you just replace her character with a mannequin doll, it wouldn't have made any difference in the story. You wouldn't even notice that it was a mannequin doll. That's what I mean by unnecessary.
Still, I gave her a chance. She was young after all.
But even after the flashback on why she became that way, it didn't transmit to me well. The narration was framing as if she was this pitiful girl who did everything and fell so far down that she became a demon. For the MC. But in truth, it just came off as her being selfish and self-centered.
The adults around her were indeed incompetent. They should've seen what she was doing and what Vikir's loss did to her mentality. I also understand that she was feeling survival's guilt. She was depressed and all that.
But it didn't take away the fact that she ignored and shut out everyone she loves and loves her. Even their warnings of the danger of what she's doing were ignored. And when the ritual failed, her teacher was even forced to sacrifice himself so she could live. Instead of that being her wake-up call, it became her undoing. Seriously, she even contracted with a demon.
The sheer stupidity astounds me. She knows what demons are so she should've known what they were capable of. And yet she kept giving the demon inside her free reign for longer and longer.
And when she finally found Vikir, what did she do? She just gave her body to the demon and then said her goodbyes as if she would die now. Wtf? For what did you do all that if you were content on just dying anyway? If you were fine with that, you should've just stopped when the ritual failed and died in that basement.
Well too bad, because all she did was give her body and power to a demon that Vikir now has to fight. Even Vikir was shocked that she did all that shit for him. Imagine facing death everyday and barely keeping your life, just for a girl to hand a gun to your enemy, saying 'I was doing it to see you'. ʕಠ_ಠʔ.....
This man spent his 2 lives trying to hunt these demons and she just gave them a power up. Now, Vikir was even hesitant to kill her because he felt guilty for what happened. Yep. Just that, he was guilty because of what she should've been (a hero), and what she ended up as (a demon), for him.
In truth, Vikir didn't do anything wrong. It's not like he was faking his death for shits and giggles. He was going against Hugo whom he thought was a villain and enemy. Who knew Camus would go batshit crazy.
What displeases me to no end however, is the fact that this story is blatantly showing her favoritism. Why does she get a second chance? Why does she get a miracle after she contracted with a demon? After everything she did and everyone harmed in the process? Vikir's brother, who was the most deserving of a second chance didn't get any. And he was closer to Vikir's heart more than Camus ever had been.
But no, she gets the plot armor instead.
So I'm sorry for not being sympathetic of her, and for wishing she would just die quickly.
As someone who just finished binge reading this manhwa in a day, what panel offended asura scans so much they drop translating?
Isn't the art bordered porn since the beginning? Women's designs are literally fan service. They hid men's junk imprint in uniforms, but showed nipple and vag imprint of women. And demon kings and their possessed humans are literally making out. I don't understand.
Is it when the demon did a kabedon on Aang? Or when he caressed (?) his body? Or when the black king made out with Liu? When?
When they're fighting, why do they look.....ehem. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
It ended so suddenly, I got whiplash.
I understand the need to immediately end this monstrosity of a story, but damn that ending was so fast I could call it bullshit lol
I'm cringing and shriveling like a salted worm in secondhand embarrassment but I still keep on reading
This is gonna be a hard one but please help ma find it. I don't know if it's manga/hwa/hua anymore and not even the genre.
I just recall this particular scene where the mc (male) like to hug fluffy things and this giant owl who is owned by another person came and he just basically drown himself into the owl's fluffiness (with permission). Also, him snuggling with the giant owl is kind of like in the background while the others are talking about serious things.
I'm not sure if it was yaoi, shounen, or something. But I do remember it was fantasy and what not.
I know the clues are ridiculous but help ಥ╭╮ಥ
