@HobisFlower: Yup, at this rate we're shaping up for the tragedy of this to be that she picked up the habitual sociopathy of the emperors along with all their magical knowledge and sorcery. I'm hoping—especially given the title, that hasn't come into play yet—that she gets a chance to mellow...

It's getting desperately necessary that the boy is possessed by something, and that that's what's wrong with him ~.~; Because otherwise... Actually, regardless, boy needs an intervention, I think.

*sigh* What's the point of reading this if the boy's gone all evil like this? I mean it's still only as bad as any other romance in this genre, now, but... :/ Why ruin the best things about the story?

...that was the most roundabout way of boorishly implying that someone just needs to get laid, that I've ever seen.

I mean, at what point is one supposed to suddenly question and be suspicious of meds their parents and doctors have had them on, since forever? That would be paranoid :'p I assume from context that the father feels bad for her and wants her to be happy to some extent, but also wants her to stay...

@Will_Madden: My dude. I am not sure what you were expecting when responding to someone who makes long and/or analytical posts. But let me tell you, what you get back is likely to be: More of the same. As to the literal question of "why": Because you said something, for which I could not...

@GeeKay: I remember one group way back had developed a (inherently site-specific, I think it was just for the Korean Naver web-comic site) script-wrapper for web-comics that allowed people to load the official webcomic on it's native site, and then load just the speech bubbles and redrawn SFX...

I am generally inclined to think favourably of "humans are the real monsters" sorts of premises. But... this has so little to say about the matter—humans happen to be horrible, ugly and stupid; non-humans happen to be good, beautiful, and kind and generally female and besotted with the...

Ah yes, this is definitely one of those series with great subtleties between the good guys and the bad guys. /s Look I'm a fan of a good "humans are the real monsters" plot as much as the next human, but this is so ham-handed—the noble, cute, pretty, sympathetic and sexy un-humans, and the...

"Don't forget to teach him tolerance, since he'll need to live with all kinds of race" "With that, to prevent him from being an aggressive human, we need to balance his skill with wisdom" *looks back at last chapter* ...Yeah, um, great job with that. He definitely looked like he was taking a...

So far this seems too "edgy" for my tastes: Even if I were to suppose that his reasons are nominally sound, the narrative choice to first show him brutally slaughtering a bunch of generic hero-types (who seemed like totally sane and normal people right until they started talking to the...

@Will_Madden: It was certainly not on account of being yuri that I was dubious of "wholesome" as an adjective. (See: my complaints that you were complaining about, above. Roughly, I felt the characters were kind of jerks). Saying that it's "cute" kind of strikes at the core of this definition...

Stealing luxury goods to tempt an old man's avarice in order to learn medicine—hopefully fast enough, maybe fantasy medicine isn't a highly skilled trade?—to outmanoeuvre your mother's would-be killers, hoping that indeed the methods they try can be countered with medicine, though you happen to...

I was kind of like, "couldn't mercenary-assassin-grandma just tell the folks to come to the house then?", and here we are.

...I'm not quite sure how this works (I have no idea what ancient Chinese Buddhism is like) but if you're looking for help from Buddha I feel like maybe a good first step would possibly be to drop any thought of this "revenge" stuff. On the other hand they said "how can there be a beggar in the...

Woah, what's with the hardened, murder-loving mercenary grandma? Where do you even find an old woman who betrays at the drop of a hat, smiles, and murders people with a dish-towel? It's so patently absurd that I actually almost find myself thinking she's bloody awesome. (You still got it...

@Allexio: Oh, whereas I was just guessing that Cosette was possibly long-lived and immortal and thus not "born in the future". XD But yeah, prophecies like this just have too many little loopholes if they're to be taken literally. :'p

...Ones like this I just stare at the description and go, "You could just as well have said, 'it's xianxia,' in as many words, and I would know just as little as I do now."

Suffers a bit from trying to do a lot in relatively few chapters, while keeping the storytelling itself at a fairly relaxed pace. It feels like it needed just a bit more space to sprawl into, ideally. Generally I liked it, though. The comfy parts are comfy, even if there aren't as many of them...

I thought this was great but it needed more time to unwind after getting through their trust issues. Like at least a couple chapters more. The low-key aspects of their relationship were where the real charm of the writing was, here, after all, not the drama.
