The writing in this is soooo bad and the outfits are even worse than what you usually see in comics.
I know this is historical fantasy slop so nothing is accurate, but why are they wearing party city pornified WWII costumes while riding on a great navigations ship? Why is her hair down? Why is she wearing long sleeves with a thigh length skirt? Why is she wearing a skirt AT ALL when she's in the middle of a bunch of sailors who haven't seen a woman in months and when there's a STORM outside? And the combat boots look ridiculous.
Is it too much to ask for artists to research a bit? This is almost as ridiculous and cringy as when westerners draw kimono, hanbok and hanfu incorrectly. When you actually research the historical and practical reasons for why outfits looked a certain way, you don't make this type of mistake.
I know this artist couldn't wrap their head around the idea of having a woman who is supposedly a soldier and sailor wearing pants to protect her legs and keep her hair up so it doesn't get caught on ropes, because that's not hot enough for the porn they're drawing.
This is one of the reasons why I hate "historical" comics, 99% of the time it looks stupid as fuck.
This is trash. The writing is barely passable, the characters are terrible, the plot is boring...
This can't even be enjoyed as porn because it's simply not hot. Even with the censoring I can tell that the artist can't draw dicks right, they are either inverted or have a lump at the base. It looks ridiculous.
Preach
I have the feeling he knew all along.
Low-key, I kinda hope he did but just doesn’t give af lol
sameee because misunderstandig tropes and undercover stuff ends up being too tangled
I love the art. The thing I love the most is how one can tell the characters are asian. Not only that, but they also have a variety of features but still all look asian. No same face syndrome either. The anatomy is also great.
The story is giving me the creeps and the title gives me the feeling it's going to get even creepier (I think someone is going to get killed and their consciousness put into a robot), but I'm sticking through.
The emperor is still taking the side of a woman that lied about being blind, fooled him, embarrassed him, hasn't grown a bump after months... and probably gave him syphilis if this is in any way realistic. He deserves every punishment in the book!
Who cares about how she might be pregnant? Let her give birth under arrest! Why is she parading around the palace and openly scheming against the actual empress? Why is she allowed to be in charge of his HEALTH? She could be a spy for all they know! Did no one see her pour an entire vial on him?
And let's not forget he previously put the liar in charge of the budget for orphanages, hospitals and defense. His subjects would not only lose respect and openly mock him, they would revolt. And then either the other nobles would have him replaced by a regent/his closest relative, or another noble family would do a coup, or the empire would be reduced to ashes.
I totally agree! The only drive that's making me stay till the end despite this story raising my blood pressure is to see his majesty the idiot and Roshitta burn to the ground once karma bites their asses.
That's right. This is ragebait in webtoon format, but I'll stick through to see them suffering, and may it be long and painful.
I can't get past chapter 15. I tried, I really did, but I can't take this seriously with them calling each other Cabbage and Minicat. Realistically, they could just say "you" or "she/he/they", but the author wanted to run the silly nicknames into the ground.
Y'all have fun though! To each their own, this is just not for me.
This is the same artist as God Jangsan Tiger, although it's not tagged. It's a pretty art style.
I think Yoongun fell first (but didn't realize it) and then proceeded to also fall harder. But he sure has a knack for annoying the shit out of Kyuho, he still needs to be a little more pathetic and get a little more humbled.
goated take
That's not how being intersex works. Labia majora and the scrotum are analogous structures, so it makes no sense for one to have both.
And if he has functioning testicles (as in semen production) then he can't have ovaries btw, because those analogous too. So if he gets pregnant in future chapters that's another misrepresentation..
This had the potential to be a romance that is inclusive to intersexuals (and it could still have sex scenes because sensuality and oversexualization are not the same!), but instead it's just disrespectful.
It's not supposed to be realistic. It's fiction.
Intersexuality is not fiction. Intersexual people are not like vampires or elves who can be portrayed differently by each author.
I wouldn't care if they just went and called it futanari or whatever (although even that is already iffy), but the author called it intersex, which is a real thing, so I will analyze the portrayal of that real thing.
Just because a work is fiction it doesn't mean it can't be realistic in some way. That's an incorrect notion. In literature there's this thing called verisimilitude, which is basically how realistic or believable a plot is.
Even fantasy works can have verisimilitude, the EMOTIONS can be realistic, it's a way for the readers to connect more with the story and the characters. Actually, I know for a fact this would be both angstier AND hotter if the intersexuality was portrayed correctly.
And, well, realistic or not, this comic is just not good and that's that.
