I actually like how the author isn’t making this an easy battle for Lamudan and Wolsey. If this was just another generic bl, it would’ve ended with Wolsey going fuck u dad, i love lamudan he is my wife and then the father would be like, okay im sorry son i was mistaken.. i loved ur mom and sad backstory explanation yada yada and they spend the rest of their days tango-ing for ever after. But by setting off into this journey of becoming Wolsey’s equal, Lamudan isn’t just put into the role of being the wife of Wolsey. And honestly, I like how they flesh out all the characters. It certainly feels better than the usual one dimensional rivals we get in this genre. Pain is suffering and suffering is living. If falling in love with Awra is pain, so be it cause that’s life. He’s a nice man.
THAT SHOULD MEEE GETTING WITH AWRA
Bl mangas have their bad apples too. Manhwas/webtoons are pretty recent compared to mangas, and the constraints when publishing them are a bit harsher as well. I’d say considering the limits manhwa authors have, they’ve been doing great in adding innovative themes into the genre of bl. In quality, mangas outweigh manhwas, but only bc there’s just so much more of them and most manhwas are only available digitally (their layout is quite literally designed to be scrolled through on your phone), whilst mangas have a higher chance of getting physical copies.
I decided to read this again from the very beginning. While at first I was thinking damn Lamudan does have a right to be running away cause Wolsey is plotting? He’s been plotting, but then halfway through we get this formula where the author spends an entire volume reconciling Lamudan and Wolsey’s relationship only to abruptly cuck the reader by crashing all that down in one fell chapter. Lamudan is always running away and getting tempted by bullshit under the guise of wanting to know or aide Wolsey on a deeper level. I get it, he’s been thrust into all this nobility and political bullshit, I’d be as confused as him and wouldn’t know whether these people fucking around with me are people I can trust. But why is it that every time without fail, Lamudan always lets his temptations get the better of him
WHY THE FUCK. THIS IS HOW YOU TURN A WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY A RELATABLE AND SYMPATHETIC CHARACTER INTO AN ANNOYING SHIT? Like Lamudan is literally a fucking mary sue at this point. One of those shoujo female protagonist characters that are annoying as fuck cause they can’t decide anything, but for some reason the author wants us to believe that every character that meets them is just magnetically pulled in and attracted by their kindness, or in this case his looks added onto the list of charming qualities he possesses *sparkly eyes*.
Ugh i fucking hate second male leads with no conscience. If you know someone’s in a fucking relationship, have the decency to keep your shit fingers to yourself and not make a move. That’s the least you can do FUCK UUU
Chap 21
Exactly and I really hate when they do this trope because it sort of breaks my immersion in the story. When the second lead starts acting like the FL’s love is a competition, I’m like okay she’s not some sorta trophy for you to display and disregard her own feelings for over the matter of her own love. Like bro there’s 10192299393 other women (or men), get tf off your high horse
You guys are crazy for saying this is mediocre bc it’s cliche??!? This is freakin bl, nothing is new anymore. The art style is actually bomb asf and the plot is light and wholesome.??
