Okay rant over... other than that I love the art style...
Dude the captain guy just dip while she was asleep??
I think he went to buy food or washroom and he'll pop up and be like *huh!*
You were right!
Is anyone else kinda freaked out about the ages
I'm screaming every panel cause I remember he was a kid like 3 chapters ago
Im saying like.. that was a child 2 seconds ago
I think shuraka is 25-27 and the other guy(I forgor his name :p) is in his early thirties
Not really tbh. If you look at the supposed time and ethnicity it's drawn in... I mean history was always questionable and we don't need to talk about child emperors and their Harem who half of them could've been his parents
Yeah... I mean I'm always understanding about how some mahwa placed in olden times will have an age gap troupe to make it realistic, but usually they just make the characters avoid each other and be awkward until they're both grown up and then fall in love or smth
Everytime the kid was saying "my beloved" I was screaming
Couldn't the black haired guy ask him to call him by his name or smth... or at least something more explicitly showing that he saw the guy as a kid would've calmed me ...
Sorry for the rant lol!!! I'm still gonna read this, it just felt weird
Olay this is what I needed. Genuinely thought the blonde guy was 9 and black haired dude was like 26
I totally understand! In the beginning I was also like: Please don't. But if I think about the historical circumstances hard enough it helps a bit (also the fact that Tei is trying to be a shield and kinda a big brother at first)
If it helps, if you start cringing too much, just imagine what it would've been like. Traded for a countys safety and being a child emperor (helped me) ╮(￣▽￣)╭
nah fr the art is fire but it just feels real icky because the age gap and the fact that the older man knew him when he was a kid…
From my prospective I didnt see any romantic attraction from Tei towards Shuraka when he was a child only adoration. While Shuraka i feel had (and has) a childlike crush on Tei. I think Tei also sees the situation as a way to help him feel better rather than something hes wanting. The age gap is uncomfortable but I think since Shuraka is most likely 24-25 (i think he is because its 12 years after Tei left in which Shuraka was probably 14-15). I completely understand the uncomfy feelings! but this just is how I see it and I like the characters a lot lol
I also read it like that.
HIS IMMEDIATE DISINTERESTED EXPRESSION AT SHA AMON I CANT
I love rhe pink hair dude (I forget names)
Does anyone have any raws? I'm so desperate for more of this
Glad I'm not the only who noticed the art being strange this chapter
Wait the way theyve presented the culture from the sea island (forgot the name but it brgins with T? Trovan?) Without it being weird or overly done or poorly executed the way i see stuff like that always happening in manhwas. Mayne cause it seems derived from a real life source? Correct me if im wrong but it seems inspired or directly drawn from green culture and perhaps because of the tracking of it, it feels more real to me and the differnece betwen Trovan(?) Ans tje empire feel SIGNIFICANT.
Usually i see culture differences, in manhwas, between two different narions not being really good? Like theyll be two different nations but everything feels the same but witj a different font.
Im.super happy to see the actual taste of the two places FEELS different. Like its so refreshing and i loved seeing differences in ourfits that still follow a specific trend inspired by greek or just following a set designed culture for Trovan.!! Im a sucker for world building as you can see and an even greater sucker for writing different nations and cultures in a way that feels real and beautiful
I low key would love to live in Trovan it looks epic and actually really refreshing
And seeing Alice not lose her culture just cause shes an empress of the empire now!! Yes!!! Too many webtoons / manhwas will have the empress give up her culture to.fit in??? Or use the cukture as a sheild and then critice the current empire theyre living in ?? (This often happens when a fl comes from a west derived based empire to an eastern inspired empire, AKA racism. Booo.)
But seeing Alice get a trendy dress from her homeland like made me so happy! No washing away her culture and no racist archetypes of using one culture to insult tje other / labelling one culture as pure ect
Obv theres racism in the story, especially against the Trovannes... (?) People...? (Mind my spelling) But the story isnt racist!
Im a sukcer for good worldbuilding and writing bro... sign me up...
I'm pretty sure it's based on Greece and Greek culture, the architecture and those olive trees are the biggest hint.
It's my first time seeing greek culture in manhwa
It's super cool
