Reading manga for 24 hours (or until I get sick of it) book 5!
Really fantastic start to this series! The world and magic system is incredibly interesting, and I’m curious to see where the politics of this one shift to. The FMC is refreshing. She’s sweet, and yet she’s also not an idiot and knows how to keep herself alive. The male love interest is perfect and already yandere as hell (despite being 9????). I can already tell he’s going to be an absolute psycho for her as they get older. Overall, I’m excited to see where this goes! I think this story and these characters have a lot of potential and opportunity to expand.
My one complaint about this is kind of the strange racism with the MMC. He is an incredibly aggressive, yandere lead, and there was some implication of him being that way due to being brown. I found this incredibly strange. The author also notes in the back of the manhwa that Amon was white in the offical light novel, but was given darker skin to, “accentuate his sexiness” (actually quote btw) which…wow. Fucking weird and fetishy as fuck. Like, I enjoyed the story, but it’s strange. I’m going to try and see other peoples opinions on this to gauge a more, “‘Am I too liberal’ or is this actually racist and fetishy” but I thought I’d mention.
