crystalvmin's manga / #Historical(4)

Man this is so bad please I couldn’t force myself to finish it. I’m so sad because buff bottom trope was wasted on pwp and even with being pwp, the sex scenes were not anything outstanding. Duke is delusional about Illic wanting it, therefore, technically committing sexual assault. I wouldn’t really wanna be at the point Illic finds he has feelings for the duke. I get the incest with nobilities, I think that’s true to a certain extent, but incest will definitely not produce pretty human beings. Art is good but not enough to make me stay reading.

This was so good and interesting ?? Especially since it revolved and featured deities from korean mythology (and other asian mythologies/deities). All characters were likable too (likable in the sense that if they were bad, I didn’t hate any of them as they merely served their purpose). Another thing to commend about this is the comedy, it made me laugh my ass off + their comedic side comments are gold. For some reason the art reminds me of manga/anime art from the 90s-00s and I was nostalgic the whole time I was reading it. The only teeny tiny flaw I could find was that beomjin and yoonjae’s relationship and feelings developed too fast, tiny only because it didn’t bother me too much since not everything is slow burn, but I feel it was a bit too sudden still. I think the author was going for a more fleshed out plot line of the story’s universe that’s why it was the way it was, nevertheless, we got more scenes of their romantic dynamic so that’s a plus. The story and yoonjae and beomjin’s romantic relationship were balanced. I’m so happy I came across this because I’ve been having a streak with bad BLs recently so this was definitely a palate cleanser. I just hope this has more chapters tho !! Or at the very least side chapters. I feel like there’s still more to tell about their world (the 3 worlds to be exact).

Very beautiful art but dropped due to noncon/dubcon
