like no matter how hot this is you can just tell the author does not care about the sanctity of the culture and just wants to do another hurrrdurrr ethnic tanned man with white-passing pale girl hurrr like yeah he’s hot whatever but would it kill y’all to show a little more respect and research to this if you so badly want to use this setting??? like idk maybe its just me lol
definitely agree.
Bruh it's supposed to be fiction like fantasy. Who cares if it's not historically correct as long as the story is juicy and the dudes are hot.. cause I don't read manga for them to be historically correct...
then that’s on you good for you but some of us like thinking with our heads and not our dick/pussy :] if it doesn’t apply to you don’t bother
the setting is inaccurate rather than wrong
Because every fictional story set in Europe, whether written by a European or not, is 100% accurate. Of course, silly me, I forgot ! The outrage only applies when certain cultures are supposedly misrepresented.
ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ I love this sarcasm @AS4 yes, research and authenticity go both ways no matter which culture
this attempt at bite back is hilarious because you do realize Europe is a continent right. With over fifty countries there and with people that are still alive and breathing and guess what? make fictional work too. So yes it is possible for a fictional story set in Europe (but once again be specific because baby where? this is like when people mistake Africa for a country.) to be a 100% accurate. especially when it’s written by a european who lives in somewhere in Europe. Lmao.
Besides no one is asking for full-blown accuracy just try a little harder when you’re tackling cultures you obviously are not privy or connected to. European set pieces have existed for decades it doesn’t take a genius to write one nowadays.
i’m disappointed but i knew from the start how this was going down. honestly what hurts the most is that future adult chloe is not that good looking for me ☹ honestly is not serving what younger chloe was serving
the long hair gives me lucas vibes and i love it
IM SO SMH. like violet and evie.. i mean yeah it’s okay i guess but EVIE AND SELENA??? wow powerful such taste 100/10. literally they would look so cute together im gonna jump off a cliff me and my fellow sapphic lovers don’t deserve this ☹
obviously aruem’s a tsundere so his fickle attitude is supposed to be his charm so it’s strange seeing comments acting like that’s not his shtick at this point. compared to in the past, he’s a lot more interested in this sexual relationship “like saying he actually wants to be fucked in the butt” that is development for him lmaoo.
i really wish this sexual relationship didn’t start off so rocky or with some questionable things. areum is no saint and i’m not gonna treat like the lil wump baby the comments swear he is against big bad okjae but he has had a 180 in his life that wasn’t adjusted in maybe the best way. it was more comical, if not.
though with bdsm relationships, i’m biased on not really liking them a whole much based on the foundational elements they come from. yes i know it’s consensual, still it’s unconcerning the lengths people go under it in real life that at points it just descends to sexual deviancy as a whole. like i once saw a video where a gagged and latex suited women was tied, blindfolded, and then put in a cage which was then lowered into a hole in the ground which was filled over with some cement like mixture and then place a carpet ... that was bdsm.. and that’s not even the worse video i saw
i guess the only way bdsm is “healthy” is when it’s consensual but that’s personally not enough for me lolol JUST ME PERSONALLY. i guess an aspect of bdsm is to be dubious which is why i never really looked at okjae’s and areum’s relationship too different or inaccurate compared to the many other webtoons that tackle bdsm. in fact, i think it’s one of the more lighter ones even with its faults. like anyone telling you that okjae and aruem are the worst bdsm couple with no consent in sight and that okjae is a manipulative piece of shit have probably never read sadistic beauty or something.
considering most of the isekai omouto and whatever pseudo genre these webtoons have usually involve willy nilly faceless korean girls who become either on edge too-nervous-to-not-follow-the-original-novel-storyline but fucks it up anyway, the clumsiness and literally high-chirped babbling bright eyed girl whose oblivious, the fan-girl whose just nice and as oblivious, or (and the rarer ones) your calculated Aria Roscent’s, she’s a breath fresh of air for me.
I don’t mind having my long haired beautiful and elegant ladies like Selena(who should be gay and is claimed by the lesbian demographic bc i said so) but I also don’t need to be constantly reminded of that type of patriarchic enforced and later repurposed femininity.
Especially in the worlds where most women wear corsets that squeeze their ribcages to death and heels. Like I love heels like the next person but c’mon now. I love Evie’s earnest energy as much as I love Selena’s calculated and exasperated one. (Also Evie is claimed by the bisexual demographic too bc i said so as well)
What’s even BETTER is that so far this webtoon isn’t interested in dividing these women and creating internalized misogynistic wards between the female cast that so many webtoons will do for this genre.. and so many of you are accustomed to doing because you’re already pitting the two girls together in negative lights for this and that. There’s conflict yeah but it’s nice to see a tomboy character that doesn’t pride themselves in being “not like the other girls” and perpetuating those stereotypes. So I don’t understand why y’all feel the need to push that mindset on her though.
Evie is a cute girl I like her and all the girls in this story as great and should kiss and get together
oh and if isn’t obvious yes i ship selena and evie yes i ship evie and rubeka yes i like the male leads yes i still think those two have the hottest chemistry together and should make out what about it im gay what about it
Also why do y’all care so much about the integrity of the imperial system of she joins. ITS AN IMPERIAL SYSTEM. that literally means they CONQUER and INVADE neighboring and unsuspecting countries and lands with any force means LMAO. and they have millions in the poverty/peasant line like its a fucking caste system like in all honesty i HOPE she ruins their integrity and dismantles it. fuck the bourgeoisie y’all smh
y’all saying he deserve better ... please no he DO NOT! he wasnt shit for a LONG while and his ass knew that like on my mama not yall getting swayed by his teary eyes and abs please asklajakaja and im not saying giving people a taste of your medicine is good but his ass is so hardheaded i can understand why she feels that way.
and yall saying communication is key is true but minhee is the KING of evading that shit like cmon now LMAO
like he evaded conversation with her ass for YEARS to the point she just gave up like yall cant be surprised that she chose a route that wasnt communication bc god knows if this boy gets scared and starts dodging again
LMFAOO this took me out no to men’s rights
i do believe in men’s rights!!!
men’s right to shut the fuck up!!! xoxo
You have me dead but THANK YOU!! We’re dealing with a hard-headed ass man that doesn’t know how to communicate properly so this is basically her last option to use. I understand that Minhee isn’t upfront but he needs to learn how to say whats on his mind or else he will lose the person he loves. Minhee needs to grow a bigger pair cause those two golf balls he have just ain’t working.
who said that? whoever said that must not have read carefully enough minhee is a fucking pussy if anything he deserves this "trial"... he needs to get his shit together
the fact she practiced that speech too LMAOOOOO yul get wreckedt . never liked his ass that much anyway yeah his life was rough but nigga so was mine smh get some therapy you’ll b alright
This webtoon is alot more detailed than I expected especially when it comes to culture in Oman, some of it is ehhh and I’m scared to know how they’ll dabble in Islamic topics but it did a little more than I expected and I do love all the characters so far but goddd
Ashan or whatever is hot don’t get me wrong but man why is it such a trend for fair-skinned or white passing characters to be basically the main leads in stories or cultures where people tend to be anything but that? LMAO like I don’t know but it’s sad to think that sometimes they won’t even think about making the character brown-skinned or anything and dark eyed in fear that it might not be interesting enough or something lol.
And don’t even get me started and female characters who are leads, I can probably count on my fingers the amount of FL that aren’t fair skinned please lol. Like really what was stopping them from just putting this story in Europe or something and making Ashan a european prince or something or at least making his cousin the lead like noooo we gotta make the one white looking guy here the most important one.
It definitely follows the same layout as the White Savior trope (which is a pretty documented and researched trope I implore you to look it up if you don’t know of it). I’ve got an issue with it ngl, like I said I do really like Ashan as a character and he is handsome with his aryan-like features but I’m just pointing out this trope lol.
Also another thing I really like, personally, I really like how Hani looks like an actual korean. Nothing wrong with having your korean girls be bright haired and bright eyed of course like it’s all fictional but I really do appreciate that sometimes they’ll keep it simple and still show that despite having none of that she can be quite the looker and she is very pretty to me like that.
But, aren't there many Arabs who are white skinned, blue eyed and blonde? But, I agree with you about the white washing issue.
yess finally someone address this!!
i agree i noticed this too
they are the minority, and it’s not as if white skinned blue eyed blondes aren’t represented in these manhwas, they’re always the male leads. the majority of the people don’t look like that, and it should’ve represented the country and the people where this takes place. it’s just blatant, how the author wants to take the ‘fool’ aspects of the culture without actually using brown-skinned people of the culture.
yup. it essentially rehashes people of color’s culture and sends it back to us packaged with white people. honestly you can argue the favoritism for white-passing characters in fictional pieces that aren’t connected to the real world or are fantasy. it’s even crazier to think about because a lot of these authors/artists are people of color too ... not white people pushing an agenda or something
lol maybe like .01 percent of arabs have blue eyes AND blonde hair. plenty of arabs are on the light side or could pass for white europeans or smth but that level of paleness, blue eyes and blonde hair is very specific to places within scandanavia. obv there all kinds of shades of light hair and colored eyes found around the world but that look above is distinctly not arab even amongst the light skinned arabs. not to mention his facial features are also super northern european too. like...the artist did not even TRY lol. why not just make him be adopted or smth if u want an anglo prince that bad? smh
Downvoted by mistake(￣∇￣")
MEN REALLY AINT SHIT OH MY GOODNESS (except miso)
