kimuchi's manga / #historical(124)

ONLY 4 CHAPTERS?! what a shame! i'm really curious what went down after the suicide tho! guess we'll never know...

the art isn't bad but the storyline is really cringy (at least the first few chapters are). i know in these types of settings where an almighty emperor & a nobody has the fateful encounter of the typical "i've never met anyone like you, lemme fuck you to make sure" type of stereotype BUT even that was so awkward to read. idky the uke would just run his mouth thinking he can read the emperor's thoughts & intentions. it's just confusing. it feels so forced when it shouldn't be with the author using such a basic stereotype. maybe the characters are too lackluster? the "i'm not like the other boys" was taken to the extreme i think.

for an emperor x subject plot line, the emperor wasn't toxic at all. he was actually quite sweet & patient. no rape whatsoever. but the ending wasn't as satisfying as i'd hoped. did he get his revenge? yes, but that was literally it. what he did at the end for his soulmate was sweet but idk... why lmao. idkh else to rant without spoiling it but the smex scenes were long awaited & adorable.

what a clever girl. she's obviously an adult mentally but they're usually not that bright when they reincarnate somehow lmao. beautiful art too
