Dropped at chapter 7. The story just felt so bland, turning to the next chapter honestly felt like a chore. Also, I'm not that big of a fan of the art, the lips are super strange to me haha. I also really didn't like the choice of text bubbles... It just kept making me think they were using sign language (I just got done re-reading Sign haha). I was a little disappointed, with how the comments were raving about this. No worries if you like this, though, we all have differing opinions ^^.
for me i love this type of rough art because it embodies this type of modern relatable art
I don't really understand what you mean, I've never heard of the term "relatable art" before. I'm glad you enjoy it, though!
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/act-four/wp/2014/08/01/what-does-it-mean-for-art-to-be-relatable/
this is what i meant tho but yeah idk but i have a rec for you its called hate mate, one of my favorites, art is similar but the coloring is absolutely astounding
Though I can't read the article due to it requiring a subscription, I can infer my own definition.
In my eyes, the art for this manhwa isn't relatable. I don't feel a sense of connection when looking at it. I honestly find it pretty mediocre. It has simple colors and not much attention to detail which makes it easier to digest. The slight anatomical errors and small details that can be easily fixed with a quick redraw kinda tipped me over the edge.
I've never heard of hate mate before. If the art is similar to this then I don't think I'd particularly enjoy it.
Also, I know I couldn't read the article, but I don't think it was specifically talking about the art that one draws and was speaking more of consumable media based off the title alone. When I imagine "relatable art" I picture those simplistic digitally drawn images to make the viewer go "OMG XD this is so me!" haha.
oh haha thats not what i wanted to convey
i don't think art is a medium that everyone can interpret the same way its probably our differing perspectives influenced our perception on this manhwa. i personally love the slice of life genre, opening the gates to a fictional world where reality is not influential. the simple colors reflect the universe it is set in, everything is peaceful not chaotic like ours. as for the anatomy of the characters it seems to me that everything is simple and there's no need for any type of detail, to distract the reader from what the manhwa is trying to be. just another reality that we could be, but isn't.
this one quote from the article seems to resonate with me,
"that the work itself be somehow accommodating to, or reflective of, the experience of the reader or viewer. The reader or viewer remains passive in the face of the book or movie or play: she expects the work to be done for her.”"
maybe this manhwa is so appealing to me is a reflection of my desires and wants.
I get that Chan's supposed to be all cute 'n shit but his childishness and immaturity sometimes makes me feel uncomfortable... Baby, you're 20, not 6 </3. I still love him, though.
yeah same, like i've actually hated it since the beginning, but i'll keep reading just because ahah
‘I still love him but I actually hate his entire relationship personality’ y’all sound so weird
Bro what? I didn't even say that. All I said was that his behavior makes me feel uncomfortable. Mans 20 and acts like a child. I don't hate his entire personality. You're the one sounding weird, man, calm down it ain't that serious
I’m very calm ur jus very defensive lol. he doesn’t really act like a child at all, just bc he’s not as serious or experienced as yool that doesn’t mean he doesn’t act his age. 20 is young. it’s weird how y’all seem to expect him to act like every grown ass bl mc out there ,,,, but regardless if ur uncomfortable stop reading lol
I totally understand you. I love Yechan, he's pure sunshine, but I actually thought he was gonna go the blushing, nervous way when he realised he had a crush. I didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic and borderline... harassing. Especially because it's not making Sunyool any more comfortable. SY's been really patient, and that's great. I'd have gone back to the city much sooner
You didn't seem calm by the way how you took my words way out of proportion. Of course, I'm defensive, you put words in my mouth </3! Yes he so does act like a kid, are you joking? The parts where he acts like an actual adult are such a breath of fresh air to me, like the times when he was teaching those kids and college students. This ain't about Yool and I'm not comparing him to Yool.
I'm expecting him to be grown because he IS grown! 20 years grown! Idk about "grown ass bl mc" though, I don't know what you mean by that haha.
Having a childish MC can be nice at times, but not when it's as much as with Chan. That scene where he was throwing popcorn around like a spoiled toddler was just too much for me and tipped me over the edge to write my comment, but I'm biased since I hate children and have a soft spot for serious mature characters (ones with tragic pasts especially <3).
Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I want to stop reading (I mean, I read 100 chapters of Beauty and the Beasts so I'm largely desensitized... nothing is worse than that garbage...). I'm just waiting for them to get together and shit so then the manhwa can finish haha.
Anyway, just because someone doesn't have the same opinion as you doesn't mean you have to butt in with your differing opinion, especially so rudely. I don't see why you were pressed enough to reply rudely, taking my words out of proportion. Chan's a fictional character made by someone who will never see my comment or this reply thread. Nothing matters. Sorry if I've hurt your feelings by not liking a character.
I completely agree
Right! I thought I was the only one who thought this. It's like everyone in this comment section has been brainwashed into adoring Chan without even considering that he might not be all great. I get liking him, that's fine, he can be cute at times too, but maybe if people stopped silencing people who don't think he's all that then we'd all have a better time. Boo-hoo, someone has a differing opinion. I'm tired of it...
The thing is that Yechan is very cute, yes, but the thing is that since he confessed, he’s been very pushy even though SY told him multiple times that he wasn’t ready for something like this and that it made him uncomfortable. I get that it’s Yechan's first love and he wants SY to like him back, but it’s kinda hard to watch when SY has communicated how he feels about Yechan's attitude but gets completely disregarded
I am not reading all of that bestie if ur that mad I told u to stop reading then maybe u need to see a therapist
i definitely see what u mean by that but it’s kinda weird to me how everybody’s shitting on chan now when seconds ago his inexperience and excitable nature was ur favorite thing ever. he’s not going abt this totally right but neither is sy by brushing off his feelings- he even tried to tell him to pretend he never told him that.
I know I wasn't expecting much from you but damn
Preach
Call me irrational or whatever but I really hate the way they draw Ms. Bird. Hawks are big and powerful birds, they aren't meek and cute like how our MC is depicted. I get that this is most likely all a tactic to make the readers go "uwu owo cyoot birb babie uwu" so that they can continue to feed the authors with their patronage, but then why make her a hawk in the first place? Did they think carrier pigeons wouldn't be as good since pigeons are associated with trash and shit as well as being stupid?
That ain't all, the anatomy for her is awful. The wings look like you can rip them off with a good tug. If a real hawk had wings like those it wouldn't even be able to fly. This is probably considered a minor offense to most, but it irritates me since I'm an artist who adores birds and adores anatomical correctness, especially in this form of media.
Another thing.. the scenes where she's drawn as a human really disturb me. When I first came across it in the earlier chapters I got confused, like, "?? shes human now? wtf happened?" But now I'm desensitized. Even though I know what's going on now, it doesn't make it any less awkward for me. Like, the readers aren't even connected to the MC's human form. They've only ever gotten to see her bird form in action. I can't help but see human MC as some kind of stranger, especially in the scenes where it showcases her backstory. And in those scenes, I don't even recognize her personality-wise. she spent her entire life as an avoidant silent victim, but now as a bird, she's suddenly had character growth, I guess? I don't get it...
Anyway, this manhwa is over-rated (as most are since people on this site don't have any standards when it comes to the shit they consume. but you didn't hear that from me) and the ML is boring and if you don't agree with me then I don't know what to tell you except for GOOD LUCK.
Edit: She's a falcon, not a hawk (forgot the title LOL), It makes sense for her to be small. I'm still pissy about the anatomy tho hehe.
dropping 3 chapters in. can barely tell whats going on. nothing about this is good. read something better, don't waste your time here.
Thanks I often see this in lists for strong female lead, and I always forget why I keep ignoring it. Thanks for the reminder.

basically, after our fl died our ml went and turned back time back to childhood to keep fl alive. she wasn't reset for failing to turn him into a tyrant. now he's the one trying to keep her alive.
it sucks how awfully this was executed. the way it was executed makes it seem like the fl is stupid as hell. maybe if it was explicitly said that he turned back time then maybe we as readers could go "hehehe she doesnt know."
also its so obvious he turned back time smh
this manhwa is quite the gem... not sure what our mc is changing the genre to though
probably from a tragedy story to a normal happy ending one
i cant help but see riko's mom from made in abyss whenever i look at julia... blonde hair, blue eyes, big eyelashes...
Will anything interesting happen at all or will this story just be fluff and nothing else?
it gets super angsty

his curse will get lifted but she will be trapped in this torturous dark place for seven years with the goddess of light who cursed the empire, there’s a lot of story about that but too much to go into lmao and then when she can finally leave , the goddess gets mad that ancia is leaving to be with blake because she hates all descendants of the first emperor since the first emperor cheated on her and so she body switches and gives ancia an ugly body with scars and she gets mistreated a lot
I- damn, that's wild. Thanks for sharing, looks like I'll keep reading.
I-
Welp, I love angst but damn
Wtf noo
Oh sheeeeesh...
So ancia will suffer ?
No way, this is so unfair.. . For everything she has done
Will this story happy ending?

yeah right now at the novel’s translation blake found out the woman with scars was ancia and after both ancia and blake offered to sacrifice themselves to save the other (kinda like romeo and juliet) and the goddess realized they were truly in love so she put ancia back and it was so sweet and the emperor cried when ancia greeted him again after 7 years because he blamed himself when she disappeared. also blake becomes semi-possessive and it’s soo cuteee; but we have a lot of angst to get through…. so good luck
*hugs you* thank you *cry (๑´>ω<`๑)* as long as I know all is okay and happy ending I will still continue with them with full of my support and tissue thank you very much ╥﹏╥
