everyone over here complaining about how he’s a child,,,
BWAT for some reason made this guy persian. why did we need a bl manhwa about padishahs. there was an elephant in the snow in the beginning, and his name is shuraka loram…, the author is a bit ignorant on that ethnicity i think
i mean looks like they just mashed the vibes together for a fantasy series, the western fantasy historical stuff is always wildly inaccurate and indulgent too, dont see why theres a double standard for middle eastern stuff accuracy wise if people have no problem with the western-setting fantasy being historically bullshit
OMFG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING THAT like yeah people embrace any historically inaccurate european/east asian fantasy setting. and get mad defensive at any fantasy setting based on other cultures. they don't see that they advocate against creativity solely for marginalized cultures but accept any sort of western mash-up. I've often seen settings mixing up italian, french, english and german references tho these countries are very different, proud of their differences and historically have beef.
european fantasy being indulgent doesn’t reinforce stereotypes about europeans as a marginalized group (cause they’re not!!!) middle eastern settings do, this manhwa especially when it’s about child marriage, what’s that supposed to say about the middle east. There are racist stereotypes about this and these tropes practically fan the flames of the racism (with brown people wearing shoes that point up at the end, and they all get around on elephants). Pretending it’s the same thing ignores how representation works and the affect it has on real people. now i’m worried for what you people think about life in the middle east









its been so long since i started reading this that i forgot haruki was bullied... i was extremely confused this chapter
And he still getting bullied. Don’t worry, you didn’t miss a thing in this story
Wait what I’m so confused isn’t the other one protecting him? Sorry if I’m wrong
Yes. Shirayuki tries to protect him and actually save him all the time but haruki is so nice and naive to people so he get in others trap. Even if shirayuki “warns” him or saying he have not a good feeling about them haruki would not believe it and listen to those creeps instead. And it still going with the same pattern, that’s why i said to the op they didn’t miss anything cause he still getting bullied and saved later lol.
Hope i answered your question
Oh I understand now thank you so much!
