hear me out... tbh I smell some shounen ai from this manhwa. don't get me wrong with though "you just can't see two man be friend" the thing is friend don't do things like that blonde guild master and MC do. like... they're dancing, they act like a prince and princess in rescue, ect.
I never see a real male friendship do things that they do, even as a girl I never do that shit with my friend, they're too... sus... tbh... is it author's strategy to yaoi bait like narusasu or something?
im thinking it either queer bait or a common occurrence where the novel author originally did want to create a shounen ai story but publishing company wouldn’t approve and the author will have to make do with shounen ai disguised as bromance cause the audience they can target if it’s just shounen would be larger than shounen ai or bl
Tbh I don't see a problem with that? It's not like we are not baited with Riette too... and we also get the same feeling from harem and reverse harem too... even if the end game love interest is very clear we still get a lot of flirting and interest from other characters no?
Personally I wouldn't mind if they ended together. The story wouldn't be more or less interesting depending on mc's orientation. To me it would be a lot worse if they pushed romance with the high-school girl or even his brother... because yeah those would be disturbingly bad and even then still possible to exist.
And let's be real... at least their relationship is cute and interesting. Better them 95% of most male mc comics I've read... if their female leads and their interactions with mcs were half as interesting as theirs we wouldn't see so many comments wishing for no romance on them...
so there is an other manhwa on the same universe as this one, it called the snake eating pomegranate seeds or whatever I forgot. the thing is, this manhwa is soooooo happy and healthy like 100/10. while the other is a cheating trash.
in this manhwa the dragon listen and the MC understand the dragon really well. while the other one they just can't understand each other, the dragon do listen to his mate, they already lived for decades yet they can't fucking communicate.
the MC in that manhwa can't understand dragon see human as an ant while the dragon can't fucking communicate and understand his mate ALL THOSE DECADES WASTED FOR NOTHING. in this manhwa they understand each other, they respect what each other want and FUCKING COMMUNICATE. imagine a 6 MONTH relationship is so much better than a 1000 YEARS relationship.
Eyra do scared of Yanu before. yet instead of giving up he try to understand Yanu and yeah he stay loyal, but the other MC literally scared and cheated like... BOTH MC'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE FUMBLED ONE IS THE 1000 YEARS RELATIONSHIP
on top of that in the novel of the snake eating pomegranate seeds, the MC can't decide to choose his sidechick or his dragon so he choose both and leave both. I just realized how bad the plot is after reading this manhwa
I get the frustration, since I read both but also.
. Did you skip the part in the other story where Gwen (the mage) explained that most Dragon and human bounds are doomed, and the human almost always is suffering under it?
This one showed the very exception. When Dragon and Mate (in my opinion) are meant to be and not just taken.
Also there is a huuuuge power dynamic difference. Eyra is a mage here while Nain in the other novel is a normal human.
And it's not like he can't decide in the end, it's also stated that the bond manipulates the feeling. If the dragon dies the mate usually thanks to the bond can't deal with it and disappears too. But since Nain craves normal human love he is drawn to Gwen. The problem is the dragon in this story. Quite literally. And since in Eyra and Yanus case other dragons wanted to have Eyra as mate too I had the theory that most Dragon pairs didn't work out because it was simply the dragon taking someone as mate and if this human isn't meant to be this dragons real mate they are doomed.
The snake that's swallowed the pomegranate is simply the other side of the coin. Showing that not all dragon bonds are good or happy. Which in my option adds a lot to the world building. Exspecialy with Gwen's knowledge he gave and his research in this matter.
I quit this shit guys, Idc. I'm at chapter 4 and I can't stand a cheater. I don't know how you guys think she's smart, how does being a cheater smart?? even if she's broke up with this man in the future that's a common sense, it's supposed to happen in the first place. it's not some intellectual things that need to be preserve. that's it I hate a cheating mf both ml and fl gives me an ick
when muzan trying to gaslighting tanjiro and begging him to stay was so damn funny, he literally throwing all word that can possibly make tanjiro convinced, I can't even imagine how he sounds like
bro was hating him so much then began to turn into a toxic asian father that forced his son to achieve his unreachable dream
I need that to be in anime real quick cuz it's gonna be epic











for god sake, the ML played a big 4D chess with a really good strategy there. regardless his psychotics traits he nailed everything to his favor yet his tactics is believable and not making it weird. I really hate him at first, but now I tolerated him cuz I can't guess him at all and he really brings out the unexpected. though some scenes doesn't make any sense but this is still bearable. he got the power, influence, and purpose. truly a gold villain
the MC character development is also good. from a really naive and pure woman to the point she know how to played the affection and lay low to gain what she want. I can see the potential but the latest chapter really... disappoint me. rather than join the game she choose to retreat and lost her memory... I hope she can win the 4D chess and gain her freedom even though it's almost impossible for this type of manhwa.
the villain is not typically dumb too, there's no a good or bad character here, everyone had their own business and do what it takes to grab it. truly represent politics at it's core. I hope there'll be more manhwa like this
btw I will forever miss you favian.
