did the art style change? i just started reading this but it looks so much better than i remember, i was literally putting it off because i thought the art style was awful. back in like 2019-2020 it was super bad and a lot of fans said the same. AM I GOING CRAZY???
This book is very odd i just started chap.1 and it really gives off the “white savior” trope. I hate how Beom is a black(?) man and yet he’s being treated like an animal. They also make it seem as if the emperor is doing Beom a favor by taking him in and letting him have sex with him. It’s very dehumanizing and weird coming from a black person. I see why people on tiktok be talking shit about this manhwa.
Yea you haven't even read anything yet and it's obvious tho I understand what you're saying
i finished it not to long ago my point still stands but i understand the story more i just wish beom wasn’t depicted that way
His not even black how would a black man be in ancient Korea? Also darker Koreans exist.
No I believe he's a mix and since Sullivan, a white man is existing at that time so it won't be so surprising to see a black man (I think beoms' and his brothers father is the same)existing also the op needs to understand it wasn't supposed to be a racism claim by describing beoms feature that way
And ofc he was treated in a dehumanising way because of his status as a butcher and literally someone who sleeps around which is why Guemho took him in as a geisha (no one should be treated that way which I agreed on) but it was definitely not because of his skin colour
does it really matter…he’s still a darker man being portrayed as an animal
I just wanted to clarify that I didn’t think that he was being treated badly because of his skin color, I was saying that its weird and very common for darker people or BIPOC being depicted as animalistic or aggressive…I read the story and it was good! Also i'm not coming at you, just clarifying!!!
it's really not it here anyways I understand why it might've been sensitive though
is their relationship going to progress soon? (chap 21.)
Yupppp
yayyyyyy!
is he ever gonna stop being a creep and get character development? this is genuinely creeping me out (chap.37)
