Agathe's manga / #dark(79)

62 - im n the fence there, multiple lovers with equal status, love and respect sits better to me than any love triangle or "more" numbers of broken hearts But this is a stinky harem, a nest built for humans to get at each other's throats, ready to murder even kids... The male protagonist are miserable, just like the female in common titles The MC is inconsistent, cold and self interested, very unlikeable

24 - half pretty art, half original universe ( yeah again, chess and Alice ) and very dark universe, morbid interaction (dark past, sacrifice, hierarchy, loneliness, etc)

34 - I’m thankful for the translation, yet it’s a bit hard to understand, in any case, this is not the most typical « court romance « , as it’s more of a survival game for the queen vs mistress The queen is pretty smart and she makes a fine MC, you can’t really find anything good about the ML, and the mistress is really evil It’s gritty smart without an ounce of cuteness , because the queen is not a naive idiot, it’s bearable for now, but it’s definitely not your feel good story https://www.novelupdates.com/series/remarried-empress/ (Pb with the reviews is that all will agree we can hardly wish for her to end up with the emperor - although the manwhua does a good job at giving her an ambiguous nature pretty fast, it’s still hard to forgive his behavior past and present life)

154 - 2.5 - it’s long, there’s a strange mixture of dark, flirting, humor, to thread a complicated plot At a point the MC déclare the situation to be tiresome, and i could not agree more :plots and lies, conflicts and injustice erode all, the pages are sweating with angst and gloom that the complicated romance never save I can not help pity ml 2 whose sincerity and devotion are simply trampled by a pretty selfish mc The mc: r-is certainly strong, independent and ressourceful, yet i can not really like her - maybe because there are too many muddy plot, Being so cunning, has perks, but not so much charm

105 - 3.5 - official release in mangat00n the starting point is absolutely original and fun, but i cant say the story is- gags can’t make a dark story nice either and. Palaces stories are not nice I actually absolutely love tha the prince prefer happiness over the throne - so absolutely smart ! - And I’m quite disappointed the story probably won’t roll his way , at least because the crown prince and co are all evil, and because the horse suggests it when they escape the crown prince :/ It’s Very slow but cute, it even grows a plot !! But it looong !! She still completely denies her feelings while it’s obvious mud grass horse wants her to be the mother of his children and that’s damages the good feelings think too The ideal ending to me would be to bring him to modern time, they would be both happy together without all the bad plots around

25 - original. Proably, an angel condemned to live like a human for nine lifes in order for her not to care The starting point is extremely pessimistic The depiction of society is ruthless cold and cruel - many very bad humans are shown from a woman who sell kids to a count whoo poison innocents to deaths - it’s miserable and seriously disgusting Greed and inhuman practices are shown with lot of violence It’s another story where amnesia justifies any situation, even the most stupid Plot hole, a bunch of kid want to steal one of a kind diamond None thought it would be impossible to sell And none mesured the riks of stealing from top military invader ?

25 - very long beginning, very afwul idea - the MC is reborn in a body that could recover his soul So far, it’s hard to think of a good ending but the spoilers seems to go that way hopefully yay :) It’s pretty dark, it’s getting a bit interesting and it supposedly will get better (and nicer ?) too For those who care about lightning safety : Tree and rocks can be dangerous, better be down next to the ground, even if it gets muddy, trenches are the safest place - there are people stroke by lightning every year, in our mountains, and actually a few survivors, but alas, there are many more victims - so feel free to check and share that advice ! if you’re a hiker, always check the weather precautions before going , and never underestimate the warnings too - not only it puts your own party’s life at risk, but it also endanger the rescuers - not only lightning can kill any season, but floods or hail storm can come anytime, including in very warm summer days - never neglect hydration (and filters) and stay safe to enjoy the beauty of nature the fullest :)

8.1 - harsh and sordid It will take a lot to make me believe in any kind of happy ending - i seldom saw that happening but it so happens i know it can be done - but at the same it, do i want it ? Meh … not quite in fact ? In any circumstances, it’s still really gruesome dark and stupidly sad Contrary to over titles, the MC is also very unbearable with her « sin beliefs » - her contradictions are a bit hypocritical and very tiresome : we’re not perfect, even less when love is involved that doesn’t mean any of us needs to be decapitated for that or atone for a lifetime It’s rather stupid to decide from the start her memories are meant to punish her It’s also a bit unbearable that her « lover » had so much time to do something about her, educate her, chose a non violent option with her or or even recruit her, yet chose to make a nun out of her after massacring her family as the best show of his « undying love » ? Come on folks - he really betrayed her, that was never love right ? I would never plan without an option not only to save but also to live with my brloved It was not hard to make her an heroin, instead of a victim If a guy can plan a revolution, how come he could not do that much ? The girl who loves him to her death is seriously an idiot, a very pitiful one So no, i can’t wish for that to work - contrary to basara where both characters are interesting with deep circumstances, these two have had a past, betrayal and selfishness painted every bit of that tale with dirt Novel - https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-wolf-lords-lady/ Excellent review by by Cielo1989

20 - 4.5 - so far excellent characters, good plot and good storytelling It’s very violent for my own taste and i don’t know if they can keep up the story without becoming repetitive and boring (so much has been written about vampires) But as of 20 chapters, it’ excellent The mc is very interesting - she’s physically strong, but i had a hard time adding « strong female lead », she’s strong all right, but she’s mostly humane and her questions & doubts defines her more than her power She’s very 3d in very few pages -

149 , 3.5 - 230 chapters on webcomics It’s pretty much the same as many others titles in that register, with -alas- a bad family version , but the MC is not op, she’s a bit of a feminist too, and there’s no obvious romance going on so far (150 c) which is nice - the ML seems to be engaged, he’s obviously curious and interested in her abilities but in the girl herself - who knows (there’s a jade ring thing but it’s about all) It’s very slow paced, the puppet thing is plain weird, bordering on gross, but it’s not used too often Need to wait for lot of chapters to read
