Is that the end? Please, I'm not ready for this to end. ╥﹏╥
I don't know what happened to the storyline, but if it wasn't axed, it was certainly overhauled and rewritten. The earlier chapters really made it seem like we were going to meet each Princess and King's Branch as our characters grew and developed. It's absolutely crazy to me that the most recent chapter decided "nah, 10 of the princesses-branch duos have already been defeated offscreen, don't even worry about them and all the different fairytale interpretations we could have shown you. No sir, it's just this one terrible guy and his milk-toast girlfriend." Like, beyond Mikel and Rapunzel reuniting, what am I even supposed to be invested in anymore?
I suppose I always knew that this was going to have a bittersweet ending, but it felt more bitter than sweet. I'm sad and disappointed but only because I wanted happier endings for the characters and not because I thought the ending was bad. Actually, I felt the ending was very good and fitting, and I think the author did a phenomenal job writing this whole story. But still, I'm sad.
I am both thrilled that this finally updated and absolutely devastated that it ended on another terrible cliffhanger. The mangaka is a sadist, man.
I went back to read the previous season, because I hated what season 5 was doing and I wanted to remind myself of the good times..... You guys, the last chapter of the last season ends with Taesung treating Haebom roughly and literally asking himself "how is this any different from rape"? I hate to say it, but I think the seeds for the nonsense that is season 5 were always there. The author didn't have to go ahead and plant them and continue to ruin the story, but I think it's clear that they've wanted to for a while.
I truly don't want anything bad to happen to our boys, but unfortunately, I do think something dangerous/tragic is going to have to happen to Seo Eunseong in order for Lee Taegun to get over this depressing hangup he's got over their relationship, in a "don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" sort of way. I'm not happy about it, but I don't see anything else getting through to him. With all that being said, Kang Jaeha, serve your role to the story and then gtfo of here!
Honestly, this manga is so cute, and the premise is interesting and unique, and the art is lovely. Don't be fooled by the absurdly low rating. Give this a read!
The sequel was honestly so good, you guys. I was genuinely concerned when the best friend showed up. I thought for sure he was going to be a romantic rival but no! Just a solid, really good friend. And then the main characters solved their problems by (gasp) COMMUNICATING?? Loved it. No notes.
Absolutely not. I was reading the last chapter, thinking how sad I was that she had passed, especially after how much trouble her terrible father caused when it didn't even matter in the end because she died, but also that I kind of respected the mangaka for committing to a sad ending, and then the last couple of pages hit me. What the actual fuck? Not only does it not make any goddamn sense, but it's also literally the least satisfying thing that could have ever happened. Why??? Why do this??? Did the mangaka hate their story? Their editors?? Their fans??? What the hell????
Welp. This is not where I saw the story going at all. I mean, was the fact that Yuto is a little calculating and possessive not enough?? I was definitely excited about it. Why throw in some crazy nonsense twist (that really should have been foreshadowed by previous chapters if it was always the plan to include it)? I don't even think it's a bad story beat necessarily. I'm just frustrated because I felt like the story was pretty grounded and realistic and now it almost feels like a soap opera or something.
Going off what I'm hearing about from novel spoilers, I'm going to be needing you all in the comments to step up to the plate and give some warnings for SA chapters. I don't want to drop this completely because I want to know the answers to the mysteries, but it will destroy me to see Sylhan be tortured by that disgusting bastard Lister. Help a fellow reader out if you can!
Boooooo. You're telling me I waited months for the official release to catch up to the available scanlations, just for Glunn to forget his feelings for Enid and tank all the chemistry that makes this story so great? How dare?
Wait, I'm still confused. What was the deal with taking all the children? And sorcerers always existed since early history?
A romance between the demon king and the giant god was not something I ever saw coming but I am 100% here for it. Let's gooooo!
Ugh. This chapter was gross. I wish there had been some kind of SA warning at the beginning so I could have skipped it. I knew the female dragon was bad news, but I wasn't expecting anything too horrible to happen in this manga, so the whole situation really blindsided me. It was a bad time. Here's a warning to anyone who checks the comments before they read Chapter 26.
I'm going to need this manga to stop calling me out word for word any time Yuriko is being discussed, please and thank you. My heart was not prepared to be bared so openly to the world today.
