WHEN HIS SHADOW TOUCHED HERS
THE WAY HE WAS LOOKING AT HER THE ENTIRE TIME
THE WAY HE CONSIDERS HER THE MOST VIRTUOUS LADY AND THOUGHT OF HER AS "MY LADY"
I SCREAMED
Thise kind of yearning gets me everytime bro
Did I read the comments before and thought "well, I'm not that much of a cryer" ? Yes
Am I crying now? Also yes
The cover is so ceo and y/n coded hahaha
Should I read this one?
The entire thing is ceo and y/n coded, so up to ur tastes
It was dark, intriguing plot, with good romance. Now I need more like this but probably won't find anything like this gem. Tbh I wanted more of the academy's lore and the other characters, but anyway
The sexual abuse was NOT on my bingo card
sorry i accidentally clicked unlike anw i 100% brooo i did not expect karas to this
It’s not SA Just chill and wait for the next chapter or read the novel
Thats this chapter the actual penetrative sex scene in the novel is graphic rape.
I got disappointed because the author participated in winter woods and mystery, with amazing characters with complex characteristics, just to this one where the mc is offered to this manchild who urgently needs psychiatric intervention like a sacrifical lamb and they're still going to ne endgame.
I still love the art btw, the panels are so pretty but I can't help from wishing ml to lose all of his hair and die alone in poverty. Now I'm kinda conflicted wether I like it or not...
p.s.: Anyway, Ik this comment section is on war, but I come in peace. People have the freedom to give their opinions, so don't get too stressed ranting below opinions that you don't agree with, it won't change anything (it will only increase your costisol levels)
Mangago puts authors and artists in the same category, the artist is the same the author is not. It confuses me too
Nah, winter woods share the same artist, not author... None of solche(author) 's work are good and they're all problematic. I learned it the hard way years back so i never touch any other story ahe wrote again, including but not limited to this. Really a waste of a good writer imo
Can someone explain to me why things got to this point (I'm from a small town in italy so I'm not that versed in american history at all)?
it is racist towards black americans because of the history. they still suffer through racism to this day and being called “slave” is such a horrible term putting down people just because of their race along with the treatment of slaves. the black americans suffered immensely throughout history
to this day
Many, MANY reasons... The whole thing is tone-deaf. It leans heavily into racist tropes like the slave/master dynamic and the white savior narrative. It's the same as trying to romanticize a Nazi/Jewish relationship or an Imperial Japanese soldier/comfort woman relationship. The history behind those dynamics makes them really disgusting to treat as romance.
Also, as other people have pointed out, the enslaved characters barely feel like characters. They don't have much agency and mostly exist to thank a rich white protagonist for "saving" them, which just makes the whole thing feel even more tasteless.
Another thing people have pointed out is Ezra's design being... odd, to say the least. It feels like they wanted him to be "exotic" while still fitting conventional beauty standards.
At the end of the day, it's a story that uses the horrors of slavery as a backdrop for a romance (big no no).
Oh, I got it, thank you
The SA was so uncalled for. I read the entire thing but everything after that seemed bad, it really gave me the ick
the warden mogging the shit out of everyone
