Emerald's manga / #historical(65)

*dropped at ch.30 just dont think im a fan of the ML or the 'romance'? I kind of think he's boring lol. But i can see myself finishing it if i wanted to in the future.

Decent unique style short story. Nice to see a gruff looking ML for a change. Also don't see many cowboy Bls around

We got prince of the underworld x human korean prince. I love seeing playboys falter and fall deeply in love. He was banished from the after life for being an arrogant playboy who doesn't have much regard to human life as a cute puppy, and can only return if he wins the heart of a human. I love how his view completely changes. The MC (seme) is gorgeous, i love the red and black aesthetic. The uke to me looked like a doormat, but he isn't! He actually has backbone and agency. Only gripe is that the earlier sex scenes are non-con, even if its meant to be an exchange of yin energy and protection from spirits, still is non-consensual. But glad it improves.

very plot heavy. It was like plot twist after plot twist, fascinating but I swear I got whiplash. insane story

I enjoyed it, it was a rather light hearted read. MC is a uwu softboy which I usually hate, but he was very funny. I loved their romance. But ending did feel sudden, was hoping to see more or even extra chapters. Don't like the idea that MC looks like Julian tho, so weird.

WAY too rushed. They fell in love so quick. The villain was established than suddenly had a 180 personality switch, I could not read the second couple because of how disgusted I still was with him. They seemed to established the prince liked the MC and was wary of the ML. But then its not brought up again and he frees spinels. The third couple is also very rushed, we only briefly saw their first meeting, then it skips ahead, they basically fell in love off screen. The even had to speed through about the MC's and ML's parents' story in the side story, cuz they didn't really address it in the main story. Overall, seems like there was a plot in mind that just didn't cook. Like they had only 40 chapters to say everything they wanted to. It just didn't work.

nah this shit is ass. dropped at chap 19

yeah most of this could've been done if they just communicated. Still kinda cute tho. The non-con was not tho.

surprised its a manhua because we have sex scenes.
