Que bonito que ya conocí a la verdadera Ripley, un tiempo corto pero suficiente para quedarme contenta conque ambas están teniendo una buena vida en distintos mundos ❤️
read until: chapter 84 + 15 spin off chapters [completed]
ripley isn’t the smartest main character that isekai-ed over, but she’s one of the female heroines that didn’t care about the past and rather, focused on her future with the love she is receiving from everyone in her new life. other than that, i really liked how old and new ripley interacted, even in the little time they had together. even though ripley is quite oblivious, she managed to create tight knit bonds with people around her, i especially liked her relationship with her maid, sylvia.
zeronis and ripley were so hilarious together. at first, all the tactics in the world wouldn’t stop zeronis from stopping the marriage. then, ripley finally accepted that this is happening, the romance was cute and funny. what a sweet pair. they really been through a lot with the other on their side. the trust and love that developed throughout was really heartwarming. it’s nice to see zeronis being so open and different towards ripley while ripley loves him. overall, it was a really sweet series.
You can read The First Night with the Duke on Webtoons app. You get one free episode a day and 3 additional episodes a day if you watch an ad for each one. There’s about 100 episode in the series with 13 cute after the ending episodes. I kind of like to read web comics this way because I get a little treat each day, also I feel like watching ads kind of gives pay a little to the authors.
The first 3 volumes have been serialized in America and I’m happy about that! Sometimes it’s a good feeling to open an actual book and you can really get the look and feel for the graphics (which is the best part in comics).
The art style isn’t my favorite, I prefer realism with a lot of detail, but the sweet cartoon style isn’t bad either. It’s rather cute and you get the sweet feel for the series. The best part of the series for me is the leading lady, Ripley. I hate the orange (carrot) hair, but even she makes fun of her looks which I find amusing.
The story is what the title states, she spends the first night with the Duke, Zeronis, and everything kind of falls out of control or into place, depending on how you see it from that night. I really love the characters the creator created. Zeronis is the perfect side character to Ripley’s story. This is truly Ripley’s story. It’s about her falling into her favorite book world and the antics she goes through.
Ripley’s character is comical, lovable and strong. She’s one of my favorite leading ladies because of this. I love the way she presents herself and she truly doesn’t care what people think of her. I love that Zeronis never wavers and also has the heart eyes for Ripley. He’s simply cares for Ripley for who she is.
Overall, it’s a really good series to get sucked into. You can binge read everything in one go or like me, read a little a day to treat yourself to cuteness all the time until you finish the series.
Wow... Un tomo durísimo y que puso a prueba la unión de Zeronis y Ripley como pareja. Honestamente, nadie le hubiera creído pero él la tomó como palabra santa y decidió guiarse por su corazón. Qué loco de mierda ah, pero hermoso. Como siempre me dan un final de mierda y encima ahora volvió la pinche Rose. La quiero muerta 🙃 Creo que la trama giró un poco para darle un porqué al hecho del cambio de vida y eso me intriga bastante, pero no estoy muy de acuerdo con que en cada tomo peligre la vida de alguno unas 3 veces (?
Aunque el final de este volumen tenga bastante acción, no se puede obviar el imperdonable hecho de que la autora vuelva a jugar una vez más con el lector/a y vuelva a dejarnos sin respuestas en un quinto volumen. Más aún poniéndonos a la persona que se suponía que podría darlas pero que dice "no sabe/no se acuerda" y hasta más ver.
Este es el claro ejemplo de una novela gráfica que se estropea, capítulo a capítulo, por estirar un chicle que no da para más.
4.5 Stars Zeronis and Ripley communicating, poorly mind you, was reather refreshing. I love that he always just ends up saying I love my wife that little weirdo. Rose dude wtf get away from my happy couple you lunatic.
4 ⭐️ Que fue ese final! Los últimos me la pasé sorprendida, enojada, contenta, hasta me salió una lágrima. Basta solo quieren ser felices. Y jamás me vuelvan a tocar a Sylvia, si algo le pasa, me pasa algo a mí.
