I think this has the potential to be on my favorite Shounen Manhwa.
The plot is unique. At least I didn't saw another one that turned the ml into a painting XD
I love the artstyle and Jio is just a cutie gem ^^
I'm Curious how everything plays out.
Kinda wished I had marinated it longer so that I could binge read it more XD
This would've been the perfect ending, but it says "to be continued" and MangaUpdates says there will be a season 5.
Why can't they end the story here and put side storys or epilogues out?
Instead it's just a season end.
Why are they trying to continue a story that has already been told? o_ô
Naja, warten wir mal ab... (Oh well, let's wait and see...)
I mean, I see the romance between AL and Phay. They had the chemistry and it was kinda hinted and slowly developed a while ago. But Jules? I saw him more as a big brother figure to Al and his romantic interest came absolutely out of nowhere. This was a last minute descision in my opinion.
But except for the kinda questionable ending, I liked this manhwa and would read it again.
I don't understand why this has almost a 9 star rating. This no more than a 7 when you are generous.
Nothing was planned out and the author just goes with the flow. And it shows in the way of how the story progresses. It gets more ridiculous as it goes on.
The plot is shallow and coincidence driven. Important things happen out of nowhere without so much as a short explanation with a quick flashback.
Drama happens the moment someone says anything without verifying it. People go ballistic with just a mention of something.
An example
Person A: "Person C has done this and that, you should punish it." *smirking*
Person B: "WHAT!? I SHOULD KILL HIM AND TAKE EVERYTHING AS REVENGE!" *goes red from anger*
Something like this happens every. single. time. No one would be so stupid to take everything as is without verifying. You can't be a politician and take everything at face value. And all the bad guys are doing this.
And speaking of politics. Oooh boy.
The politic is nonexistent, there is just drama. The realationship between the Benedict Empire and the Astor Kingdom should be as victor and loser of a war. There should be consequences for Astor as the loser. They are only sending a hostage that was not a hostage in the end. And what else? Nothing. No reparations or other conditions. They aren't even forced to become a vassal state. Benedict just let them be and so they were up to no good again.
Way to go, this is how you assert dominance ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
And where the hell did Dylan come from? He appeared out of nowhere without even mentioning him first. There was only ever the princess of Astor mentioned but never a prince.
I could go on and on.
And as this a work from an artist that is not so experienced (to put it lightly) I won't divulge into the artstyle, just the art decisions. Only a few things that I didn't like in generell.
The Faces. There were many people that are prominet in panels and even talking, but they didn't have faces. Even when they were in front of a person that DID have a face. That was annoying and the most prominent thing that caught my eye.
The Beast-Humans. I generally don't like when beastman have two pairs of ears. Either have one pair of ears that transforms into animal ears or have animal ears from the start. Period. But this is not the only work that has this problem.
The second issue I have is the colour of their ears and tails. They are all white. Why are they white when practically everyone has different hair colour? Why not make the ears and tails the same colour as the hair?
And why are most of the tails standing straight? Is something pulling them up or are they wired?
It's just so weird ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
If just the story was more fleshed out and not something that a 15 year old fanfiction writer created, this manhwa could be much better. As it is now, it's just so flat and shallow and undeserving of the 8.8 rating. I was expecting something more.











Now that I tried to read this again, I remember why I dropped this in the first place.
The faces that MC makes are obnoxious and trashy. In the over 20 chapters that I read I can count on one hand how often the MC makes a normal face.
I can't stand characters like those. Don't get me wrong, the story is interesting, but I absolutely despise the MC.
Not a fan of the overly facial humor that the author is pulling here.
