I want to complain a bit that this arc is too damn long since I want them to return to earth since they have already overstayed their visit, I wanna see his school friends again. However this arc is still entertaining, and a necessary journey for the story, but damn I thought it's only gonna be a 20-30 chapters long arc but I think it's already been more than a hundred.
The concept of magic and their magic are so fresh, it's not just something like fire ball water ball etc concepts. Specially the comb magic is something else, and the needle and thread magic is so versatile—I hope she could learn how to heal severe wounds as well since she could with broken thiings, and later on hopefully the concept of her magic could fix more than just tangible. But how could Nona's mother fly with a broom if her magic has to do with comb. The wheel magic is something I've never seen before, the way the author thought of how to make it useful in this story is so interesting.
So so, 6/10, an ok read to pass time, but I didn't really enjoy the story. It is lacking in so many details, there are storylines that should have been answered from the start, example how many years exactly have passed since the emperor tried to conquer the white Tundra and how long since mc have lived for him to become the legend ashen barbarian in the history, it is said at the first chapter that the empire lost, but then the empire still exists. It wasn't even until many chapters that it is said that there are other barbarians outside of Tundra, so I was really confused because the story made it seem like barbarians are specifically only in the Tundra, also the story should have shown the other barbarians in the Tundra aside from the two others for an effective world building. We don't even know how big the Tundra, not even in passing, because the storyboard and the panelling didn't really do a good job, because in the chapters where Ketal met the mercenaries and the merchant girl, it seems like they just walk through the terrains then voila they're at the destination.
And it's cringe that someone felt the necessity to voice out their cringeness at someone reviewing a manhwa like it's their job, it seems like you're saying that a manhwa is less of a medium that it don't deserve critiques and reviews. On that note, you're implying that reviewing a manhwa, manga, and comics is cringe because readers shouldn't use their heads and have an opinion on the stories they read? It's honestly disgusting how you think, and you shouldn't be reading anything for that matter because your measly mind is too simple to be able to discern anything. Btw, smuts can have an enjoyable and emotion inducing plot, but then again your brain is one dimensional and it can't process anything if two to three things re merged. Damn, must be hard for you.
I really expected much because some comments said that worldbuilding is good but I'm on chapter 5, and this story isn't that detailed. 1st the lack of people after the protagonist bumped into the Noble's servant when supposedly they're in the market then they fought in the said market and there's no commotion, and 2nd when they infiltrates the quinan they were talking to each other whilst they were supposed to be in the presence of the staffs of the place, 3rd they suddenly go into the carriage where people were kidnapped and the guy seems to know that it's a recurring event but there's no explanation or background whatsoever. Good worldbuilding my ass. The protagonist is also kinda dumb, because what do you mean she's in a place unknown to her then there's a person, a local willing to help her, given that she's wary of him but in that situation instead of trying to kill the person who saved her she should have calmed herself at least, step back a little and ask very important questions for her survival since the person is willing to provide answers. Her common sense is also all over the place.
Brooooooo read it little more there will be answers once you get in story. Believe me at the initial point of reading this I was like let's drop it its not something worth my time but I would say it is a good story like not something masterpiece or anything but literally a great story with great plot and world building is kinda good tooo
If the Marques kind of created the game like feature, why is there so much restriction for the supposed 'hope' or 'savior' to turn things around
I think it’s because they can’t also control things to happen? I mean, they can’t let Penelope to do everything as what she wants, as some of the future might changed that the timeline won’t allow them. As they already do a taboo by changing the time and space, I think there’s a limit where they can change things and what is bound to happen.
It's good and entertaining, but there are really aspects that makes you scratch your head because it doesn't make sense, and some parts that is still not answered even at the end of each case. For example, the upside down woman, she's always been with the one she's looking for, then she goes to the mansion along with FL. The case of Jace, if the dark mage the one who cursed him then what was the motive?
Did we read the same manhwaaa, the upside down woman was attracted to Simone's energy and the Dark Mage is not the one who cursed Jace, Jace was already cursed when the dark Mage offered a "solution" to the desperate grand duke and duchess. He teaches the grand duchess something sinister ritual to "cure" Jace. It's also revealed that the Dark Mage knows something more about the Manor that's why they are looking for him. There are still ongoing mysteries that aren't resolve entirely and probably gonna be related to future curses
I remember an info that said the merchant/noble came to the duchy to bury this woman. So, what are the odds of tormenting the man's residence when she haven't yet arrive there? And if by chance you are thinking he just went there to visit the woman he buried, that doesn't make sense either. Or if you're thinking he went there for business, I bet he has manpower to do that without showing up himself, after all, his business is mostly on other nations, not in this empire. I think she's yet to haunt this man because she's only became a ghost herself, and before doing so, she met Simone and was attracted to her energy. So instead of the guy's residence, she haunted the cursed mansion in search of the person she wanna get revenge on.











What the f happened to the top, he's like a different character, I just skimmed through it but even considering that he was depressed, this is a 90 degree change. He's like an archetype uke right now in abusive relationship bls, he's crying during sex like he's the one being penetrated. The art even has to compensate the forced attitude change of the top, I want a yearning regretful tops but this ain't it, this is a whole new different personality.
I didn't even recognize it's him by the drawing, he looks like a new character entirely with just a bit of semblance to the character he was, I even had to check and compare the previous chapters if it really was the same guy. Those eyes are not fking his.
OMG YESSS like I don’t want to be this annoying bitch about the art style but I just think even the smut scenes are getting to “fetish-e” like it’s genuinely giving major fan service. The top literally looks like a stereotypical bottom and I really hope it’s just bcs of the “depression” everyone is claiming he’s going through but it’s as if the top and bottom completely sealed personalities. Art style wise nanjo (the bottom) still looks completely the same, but these eyes and hair texture that they give mokyon is truly off putting like THAT MF BACK THERE IS NOT REAL like this artstyle change is genuinely so upsetting bcs I fucked with the fact that they both looked masculine
