Znakey's manga / #Dark(58)

SEASON 2 STARTS CHAPTER 41. ML (Dylan, crown prince) becomes emperor after he wins the rebellion, killing the royal family and forcing the previous emperor to eat an Ehirite shard (eating those makes humans change in different ways, through them the MC, Charlize, became a living sword in the previous timeline since she has strong will). Other characters to note: - Kihu: Charlize’s previous fiancé, he has memories of the previous timeline but doesn’t know Char was turned into a sword, though he suspects she is connected. They are fond of each other but not truly love. - Blond magician: interested in Char’s power. - Redhead assassin: supposedly fell for Char after witnessing her power. - Ronan family (Char’s father and two older brothers): they treated Char terribly, blaming her of killing her mother in childbirth. Now that she doesn’t care about (and is powerful cough) them they regret it. Currently, Char is aware Dylan loves her. She doesn’t return his feelings.

The characters are interesting. I think the only truly good person here is the FL’s best friend lol Still, for all their flaws I think it makes the characters more three dimensional. If the FL really was just an innocent, pure girl (typical shoujo protagonist that forgives every abuse, ugh) she probably would have remained chained to Yul. It’s a story with a lot of feelings. Note: Yuri/Yul (dressing as a girl to not scare the protagonist) doesn’t end up with the FL (she ends up with blond hottie, Yujin).

A bitter ending

Wow. This really went not how I expected. Overall, I still liked it. The ending is very satisfying (HE) The bottom (light haired guy) really went seme mode for a while there in the second chapter lol

Girl becomes enamored with her dead brother’s boyfriend. It looks very interesting, seems like the brother’s ghost is clinging to his bf

Amazing story. Simply amazing. Has a prequel that is better read after, called “Shotgun Boy”
