Chap 8 and homegirl is using Word for a magazine layout ?? does she like to suffer or is the author just unaware of what software to use
Was so focused on the story but that took me right out lol
Great art and story so far, though ! Can't wait to see Sara's reaction when she realizes Soojung is the one that'll be interviewing her.
Why are so many people talking about "the end" when it is very clearly still in publication? Like, we're barely over halfway of the plot.
I also doubt it is doomed yuri.
The whole point of introducing that book and the whole "recreation" of the fairytale is to have a point of comparison. Fairytales, through the ages, have been used as warnings : "here is what happens if you do a and b, if you do not return x favor, if you decide to go this which way".
The tale of The Monster Princess shows what happens when one is unable to overcome grief, after promising requited feelings, when faced with someone who strongly expect love should be returned if they continue to give, and give, and give, becoming obsessed with it.
And here, Aurora, Eve and even Karina's parents (in a lower capacity) are actively working against that ending. Contrary to the Monster Princess Tale, where she had truly been abandoned by her family, Karina has people actively working toward her happiness. Where no one reached out to the princess, Karina has a family extending a hand.
Karina and Reshtoka are behaving within the patterns of their fictive counterpart, but even then Karina is (aggressively) distancing herself from the "princess" comparison. And Reshtoka has, I believe, the sens and the people around her that the wolf didn't have in the fairytale.
The characters are actively and purposely trying to dodge the doomed ending for the two FMLs. So it baffles me that so many people are crying to doomed yuri. It's just heavy (not even that much tbh) angst!
I know we're all traumatized by doomed yuri, and there are so great ones out there, but let's not cry wolf and discourage possible readers.
Also I came over from mangadex cuz the comments were pmo, someone was like "oh I came for the Yuri and there's none" like not every Yuri needs to have sex fr, let a gal have a yuri with real plot and development for fucking once.
Also, maybe I'm just pissed at the reactions because if this was mlm, I am CONVINCED that it would get much more credit than it currently has.
Idk I'm just sad because, while I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, it is a great story with actual development. I don't read het stories and I haven't really come across a lot of villainess plots so maybe it only feels new to me but I like the way this manga approaches what heavy responsibilities, abandonment and abuse does to a person -a CHILD- once kind and caring. And i like that the support and care are going back to that person even once they've changed for the "worse".
Not me seeing the cover thinking this was yuri about two women who looked alike only to open the photos and be greeted by straight smut
Wdym "you need to inform your partner" ? no he doesn't ?!
What happened to bodily autonomy? We're just gonna throw that out the window?! What about safety, what if his partner was abusive, what if it was rape, what if he didn't know the other ? There's so many things wrong with that.
Give me the chance and I'm strangling that doctor myself.
THEY LIVE
the grin on my face rn
this was a rollercoaster of a chapter, i am SO GLAD for Lily's power (and her nice lil' cameo on idk which chapter cover recently)
Why can't lesbians be alive and happy, why must they go and sacrifice themselves for each other every time man I am crying i went into this blind and was NOT prepared to have my day end on doomed yuri
Still one of the best GLs out there, and the art is stunning !
Listen. I can NOT wait for them to go to the dungeon. These three together are one of my fave dynamics, they're so idiots-coded when together while being three geniuses independently.
Gotta go find that meme of them with their silly little hats that I saw a long time ago on Tumblr.
Man, I'm so excited.
3 who?
Maybe j, craftmaker and vision
Took me a sec lol but yeh, CEJ, HYS and YGE
Ngl the hypocrisy of author and readers not liking beta/alpha, alpha/alpha or omega/omega and the likes.
How're you repeating homophobia 101 while reading/writing homo media. Make it make sense.
Honestly there's a whole thing that could be said about replicating extreme sexism and homophobia in different flavors in BL manhwas but this in particular is such a cognitive incoherence. :/
(TMW I'm tryna read no-thought-bl so I can be braindead after a 8-5 but it's actually so harmful my 2 neurons involuntarily activate)
Pacing is fine to me.
There a whole lot of shit to resolve, characters with actual moral depths and dilemmas, and the author has a story to tell that doesn't only revolve around romance.
As readers, I think we should get more used to stories that take actual time to explore and resolve drama. Instead of stories (like there are so many, take your pick) where tension is quickly resolved, because the sweet conclusion is the entire point, this one is about the way the tension holds and impact the plot and characters.
If you want a quick resolution instead of actual angst, I suggest you simply do not read this one.
I completely agree, ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I don't think readers need to "get used to" slow storytelling. Plenty of very slow stories are compelling. The question is whether the time spent actually develops the story or whether the narrative is treading water. As a writer myself, I've had to learn that distinction too: something can be important to the story I want to tell and still be boring in the way I'm currently telling it. "There's a lot left to resolve" explains why a story is long; it doesn't automatically make the pacing good.
