bruh NOTHING happens for the first 20 chapters. I know this is supposed to give a nostalgic melancholy of memories of a deceased loved one but come tf onnnn, do you need a close up panel of each character's face whenever they converse?? The world building is kinda ass too (the king was cursed because he didn't wed the goddess?? tf??). Like I get the sapphic vibe but it's just gaybait tbh
so we're up to chapter 3 and kinda know what's going on in their lives now. I get that she was burnt out and depressed and the husband suggested marriage at the time to alleviate her financial burdens, but all the communication about boundaries and expectations up to that point were just... chores?? And even after the marriage her finance doesn't stress her out as badly anymore she doesn't just restart her career, wasting her college degree that she got in debt for, and now therefore is dependent on her husband to provide. And she's spiraling again overthinking and reevaluating her self-worth after he expresses that he wants children, girl get a grip. These doormat characters are personally so hard to read and tolerate.
Have you ever heard of depression?
I've struggled with depression half of my life, that's why it's so frustrating reading this. yeah it's easy to ruminate and spiral deeper, but at some point you gotta try to climb out of that hole you dig, and this protagonist doesn't even seem to attempt at that.
I get that. But depression manifests differently in everyone and no one goes at the same pace. Offering grace to someone who may not be where you are, is okay. Also, it’s only been three chapters, who knows how much we don’t know. I agree that helpless protagonists are frustrating because you just want them to get on with it but maybe she will after she walks out of that laundromat. Or at least I hope she will.
MC is absolutely stupid, the story drags out and nothing major happens for 20 chapters (when I gave up), conversations between characters are awkward, the world building is crummy, nothing is good about this story.
couldn't the artist choose a less horrid period to portray dresses?? the fucking bows, why does she have to draw the same dress in 50 different colors for the FL
Well then , you take her job and draw. Its NOT THAT HARD.
i do draw, that's why i know it's not that hard. I just wished she used different references for the dresses, not just bows, bows, and more bows.
Could it be that Chit died with the prince?
sorry meant to like
I wondered too !
Or maybe she really loved him and started to hate Tornian for killing him ?
Haha, it’s so nice there are quite a few possibilities ;)
But that was what he saw as he was dying tho. That theory would've happened after his death
the story progresses differently with the attack on mother and the demon king attacks, looking forward to this version too
Hi. Are you watching the anime as well? The classmates on the anime, are they in the LN? I'm so confused as to why they don't appear in the manga.
The LN has a ton of short chapters about the classmates as the mc is progressing through the dungeon. I don’t know why the manga decided not to include them ¯_(ツ)_/¯
probably because the author is stalling because they don't know how to draw people, no shade but sometimes these characters look fucked up. i love the storytelling tho
Wait no cause that would be so funny if that was really the reason. But I’d love that, props to the artist for knowing their limits lol
It seems like they took the time to completely focus on the mc to portray her journey.
Because the pacing seems to be slower than other manga I've read
(but maybe my judgement is influenced by the update speed idk, shout out to the translators for giving us the chance to read it tho thanks comrades)
how takamura got twitter??? ippo debuted in like late 80s early 90s and even if its been 10-12 years it'd be the mid 2000s at least, at least have him use a flip phone and use myspace or yahoo blog or sumn smh
twitter was created in 2006
yea but it didn't look like in the manga in 2006. and def was not popular enough for some fogeys and takamura to be posting gag dick pics for clout like that. they were using smart phones too, most japanese people were still using flip phones up until like 10 years ago.
does it matter?
just inconsistency in storytelling.
if you check all the match posters you can see the time progressing as the date is lik 200X instead of 199X , etc
yea ik, but the phones and social media platforms portrayed in recent chapters suggest it should be at least early 2010s (imo even 2013-14 with the live tweeting and stuff, but nudity wasn't even that big of a deal until recent years), a good decade later than the timeline. It's def nbd, but does break immersion.
I guess it's just one of the details you kinda forget about after spending 35 years on an ongoing project lol, in a year this series is gonna reach 1500 chapters
