dianxianini's manga / #Royalty(2)

3.5 stars This is probably one of the bestest historical bl fantasies Ive ever read. I love the world-building, the political scheming and most of the characters are interesting. I adore Levenoad Von Strahss—hes smart, cunning, beautiful, ethereal, powerful, elegant and him as the reincarnated Ray is also a fvkng badass. Despite his amazing strategic nature, I love how he also acknowledges his mistakes and owns up to them. He might be hard-headed at times but hes also a lowkey softie. El Jiskar Fascher is the kind of toxic ML I want to be served as a main course—I love how unhinged and obsessed and possessive he is—hes willing to even dug his heart out for his beloved Ray and turned into a madman when MC ran away damn I eat this shit. Hes down bad that he’s basically the real slave between them from the moment they first met as crown princes, it’s Ray who owned Jiskar and not the other way around. I just dont like the age gap and their smexy scenes are quite uncomfortable to read. How I wish Ray could have been a little older or the same age as Levenoad. The pacing at the later chapters seems a bit rush and I was actually hoping for an arc wherein theres gonna be confrontation between Ray and the people from his homeland though the story still managed to make the conclusion quite satisfying. This is a good and entertaining read.

It is like the BL version of kdrama Princess Hours but the modern crown prince adores his commoner of a mate who, on the other hand, never wanted to be part of the royalty. Nothing much to say about the plot, it is simply just them falling in love. Also the art style drastically changed and not in a good way. It was good in the earliest chapters and now it looks sloppy the characters look entirely different
