by Dalsaeowl, Hwaeum, 달새울

악시악스 성에 드리운 악마의 기운
역병의 근원이 가까운 곳에 있다

구호 활동을 마치고 돌아온 타니아 성녀를 찾아간 리에타. 성녀가 저녁기도를 마칠 때까지 근처에서 기다리던 중, 성에 드리운 악마의 기운을 느끼고 킬리언과 함께 그곳으로 향한다. 다급히 도착한 곳에서 두 사람은 마법진으로 악마를 소환하고 있는 타니아 성녀를 발견하는데...! “악마 메르데스. 그대는 순례자 타니아와의 약속을 지켜라.” 모두가 존경하고 따르는 성녀 타니아, 그녀는 대체 무슨 일을 벌이고 있는 걸까?

Vol. 5
Episode 49 ~ 60

There was quite a bit of lore in this volume and also a twist in the story. There’s more sides to rieta every single volume… though we get to see her shine more brightly and fit in happily to a routine in Axias we also see her see her hero saintess in another light. Rieta is highly suspicious considering she knows way more than she initially lets on until push comes to shove..

I do like the sweet moments between Killian showing off his care and awe of Rieta more in this volume we also see how he’s keeping a respectful distance for her sake. She is after all a grieving mother and widow whom has experience far too much trauma that one would in a typical lifetime.

Finished the 2nd season — ch. 44 - ch. 134

A slower read than the first season,
I still find somethings distasteful in variant degrees, such as:
• ML proportions.
• Mary Sue FL, and how even the minor, simple, things she does make people awed by her.
• My inability to see how and why they fell for each other (could be on me tho). I kinda believe it as time goes because the plot wants me to, not because I inherently do.
• How he's clinging to her romantically even though, at first, she declined his advances. I get that she's rejecting him for social, societal, and coping reasons, and that she actually does like him, but he doesn't know for sure.
Also, when he's flirting and making her blush, I kept fluctuating between seeing her as flustered or as enjoying his flirtatious hints. Which made me unable to enjoy it myself.

Other than that, still going good.

Two scenes I particularly liked:

• The one where she wanted to save a baby puppy and he voted on saving the mother. I appreciated the subtle mirroring of their trauma and what they instinctively chose as a result.

• The lovely midnight stroll scene where she said 'Do not leave me behind, and do not come too near.'
But while I find it pleasing that she communicated her feelings, I, as I said above, don't find him following through, not before nor after. He wasn't being pushy and dangerous, but it was uncomfortable, especially when he's portrayed as an incredibly considerate of her baggage.

But I could be putting my own definitions and boundaries into the scene.

Slow burn and beautiful art
Also love the connection

Title: Like wind on a dry branch

I love the cold duke of the north trope so much

[Pea]

The romance is romancing
The words are so well chosen for this webtoon, they really carry all the grief, longing, mistrust and love so well
I can't wait to see the power couple emerge!!!!

[Riezeme]

i love the development that each character go through (not only on the emotional level but as a whole just as human beings would)
it's so beautifully done as usual and keeps getting better.

i have this feeling that she knows what exactly happened to her daughter and that it's gonna be a huge plot twist for us but who knows? .

[Bergi]

The first manwha that made me me feel tremendously sad which resulted with me crying i hope they both get better cause they deserve much more that what life has given to them.

This is so interesting with Reita's history! I seriously need to know what happened, but I think it wouldn't be revealed yet.
