Came for the Yaoi. Stayed.'s manga / #Royalty(2)

Great show of similarities between characters, and even though I never felt like their VIBES were similar, I got the idea, even though they could have pushed it a little more and probably should have. The mirror was a nice symbol. The story unfolded simply, but not predictably, with the two main characters being not unlikeable, with actual personalities, though they may be cliche. All in all, wasn't exciting, but it was enjoyable and smooth, without dodgy shit going on. Should have also dug the nails in a little when talking about their romance, because that would have felt more satisfying, but sure, it was a nice, pretty short mange. I just came back to edit this on a random day of doing homework for Lativia (04/12/2020, not there yet) but I just rememered I probably didn't mention this, but the subtle yet beautiful ending was very endearing. I was just dissapointed they didn't go deep enough in it and left me high and dry. (More like wet and frustrated, but whatever XDXD Jkjk. btw) also, looking back, I liked the subtleness of the whole thing and I probably don't appreciate how much information is cominicated in a lot of the yaoi mangas I read about the YP. Like, this YP had a whole family life and small arch back home, too. It was just all shown very wuickly, becuase it didn't NEED to do more as a manga. All in all, very pleasant, despite being so mild.

So, I liked our dragon MC more when he wasn't ready to torture everyone who hurt his man. I felt like he was special at the very start of his story. Also, he suddenly turned into this threatening protector after the 4 year period and I have no idea why. I'd like some kind of explanation, please Fell in love with the fathers at first sight XD Remember thinking "they'd make a great story about how they hooked up" and there was a story about them!! Not as... Impact full as I would have wanted. But fun to read. I liked how Blair fell in love and hpw he admitted it to himself in his flashbacks, after he confessed. So... Nice story. Cute as well, when we involve the kid. Loved all the moments the prince sent poor bby dragon (lolol, his name is completely irrelevant to me- OH! Loubi, Lou for short!) flying, for fear of them being caught in an intimate position XD Also, it felt like some nice dejavu for it to be repeated with Jude (dad 1) pushing away our boy Blaire (dad 2) lolol. Prince himself was endearing, because of how he was falling in love with MC's kindness despite being a cold dick. For the plot... Looking back, the fact that the blossoming romance between the prince and dragon in the first half of the main story was so soft saved everything for me. Because the story was pretty intense, with the evil wife and her psycho brother (which was hell of a duo, and needed WAAYYY more screen time!) fighting for fucking over the poor Prince's life. The Emperor was some whore who was slowly deteriorating and just there for the angst and emotional turmoil of the Prince, I swear- but. The second half of the plot was where it got rough for me, ngl. Lou, our sunshine, is now with constant homicidal thoughts??? The prince just gives in to everything Lou says, and if he doesn't, he will??? It's s romance turned angsty and low-key (very lowkey, mostly because of how homicidal Lou is) possessive, paired with the emperor dying, Lou's mother's carcass being finally shown (speaking of, what tf happened to it? They promised to the family to cremate it. Maybe it happened and it just wasn't a scene..).. Just... Dark, if not for the bright, happy colours and starting romance. The sidestory of the fathers was also blossoming, so that's there enough, but vears into miserable territory. So yah. Don't recommend a rr, but it was okay as a first read.
