My review of this can be like 50 pages long. At first I felt iffy about Larmanilla. But then I realized it's just his flaws. And EVERYBODY has flaws. Him, you reading this and me. Even Romiard has his flaws. It's interesting cause Larmanilla can be cruel but Romiard can be 10 times more cruel. You could say Larmanilla is "evil' but by default. But Romiard? He will show you kindness and make your dreams come true the then destroy you. I think that would feel worse (as the recipient of his wrath). I also found it interesting how Romiard was not afraid to kill! He killed the fire magician, he killed that thief that come for the fruit and they were going to exchange items (the claw for the golden apple) but in the end he knew the other was going to die. He gave them false hope. I really enjoyed this story. Also at first I was like "DID THEY SLEEP WITH EACH OTHER OR JUST SLEEP?" cause when they started sleeping in the same bed after he killed the fire magician he once woke up without his pajamas after saying something like "he didn't just give me his powers but something else too" and I was like "SEX?!? IN THIS WHOLESOME (so far) STORY?". I guess that helped that in the future episodes I wasn't surprised by them being more active with the PDA. I actually enjoyed it how they found each other basically irresistible and couldn't keep their hands off each other. I enjoyed the character development from both. Romiard grew wise, critical and confident. Larmanilla grew more compassionate, kind and affectionate. Remember he didn't have many emotions aside from anger or boredom? Not even BEFORE he became the ice magician. People say he didn't have character development but I belief he did. He has a heart again. Hell he can even feel jealousy in a healthy way. And can feel protective of Romiard. And not in a "this is my property" type of protectiveness. It's an "this is the love of my life and I will do anything in my power to keep them safe" type of protectiveness. Overall I highly recommend this beautiful story. The art style was also very unique and although the anatomy was a bit questionable sometimes it can be overlooked because how much of an enjoyable read it was. If I had to choose only one short sentence to describe it.. it's like being a kid again reading a fairytale.
