The Kingdoms of Ruin #2
Regatele Ruinei Vol.2
Povestea unei razbunari disperate.
De secole, omenirea a evoluat prin puterea magiei, lasata de Dumnezeu vrajitoarelor pentru a-i proteja pe oameni. Cu timpul, progresul tehnologic a facut ca vrajitoarele sa nu mai fie necesare, iar oamenii s-au intors impotriva lor.
In Imperiul Lidian a inceput atunci o nemiloasa vanatoare. Adonis era doar un copil in acele vremuri, ucenic al vrajitoarei Chloe, pe care o iubea cu adevarat. Cand ea piere, ucisa de armata imperiului, Adonis jura sa se razbune. Furia lui va face sa curga sange.
Incepe o batalie epica intre stiinta si magie.

It has some WTF moments which get cleared out lately - to my relief -, and kept me invested in the story for the next. But I still don't like the graphics too much. If I were into coloring, I would buy one just to color it myself, and add a bit more life to the pages, lol.

A little confusing at times, but I really liked this one! Especially the end and the twist.
I feel like everything happened too fast, but usually this is how manga is.
4 stars, I really liked it and it connects very well with book 3.
Now I'm looking forward to volume 4!

Dacă mi-ați fi spus în urmă cu câteva luni că voi fi obsedată de o manga nu v-aș fi crezut. Devorez volum după volum imediat ce apar și nu mă pot opri.
~
Povestea de răzbunare a lui Adonis continuă, aflăm lucruri noi despre puterea lui și despre lumea vrăjitoarelor.
~
Nu mă satur niciodată cu câtă informație primesc și tot vreau mai mult. Nu pot să suport oamenii și știința lor în această serie.
~
Art-ul e la fel de plăcut, povestea încă e scrisă bine, elementele gore sunt tot aici iar eu am nevoie de volumul următor cât de curând.
~
Finalul iar a fost punctul meu preferat din volum. Păcat că mereu se termină la punctul culminant.

Am devorat volumul acesta, mi-a plăcut chiar mai mult decât primul și de-abia îl aștept ultimul, care va închide povestea interesantă a unei lumi între magie și tehnologie. Ceea ce m-a fascinat la cartea a 2-a au fost puntea între cele două lumi, dar și lumea ascunsă a vrăjitoarelor. Ajungem în sanctuarul lor și aflăm cum iau naștere acestea și cât de importantă era Chloe pentru întreaga lor rasă.

The violence continues! Maybe I got used to it after volume 1, or maybe it's not as bad this time around (since the fighting was already in motion and there's nothing particularly new about it), but it's ok.
So. The planet has two types of people on it: humans, and witches. Witches are magical creatures, all female, who reproduce via witch trees, and who protect nature. For some reason, humans decided to do away with them - so they'd rely on them less...? I dunno, it doesn't make much sense (hopefully, it doesn't make much sense *yet*, and things will clear up eventually).
If in volume 1 we meet Adonis, a boy raised by a witch (Chloe) who learns to do magic by writing things out with a special feather-pen, and who was imprisoned for years in a human prison, in volume 2 we get to see the fallout of his escape and subsequent attack against the city, as well as find out more about the world.
Even if he starts strong, it becomes clear Adonis will lose his battle. Where all the witches in the world didn't succeed, neither will he - so he gets his head chopped off.
Just kidding! He's copied and replaced by witches, then taken to their special base *on the goddamned moon*, where he's told he can help bring Chloe back to life. The witch tree is just about to create a new witch, and he can imbue her with his memories of Chloe in a special ritual, therefore... reviving her? Duplicating her? This is weird.
But he's the only one who can do it, because Chloe was the only one who could create special feather-pens for humans to do magic with, so Adonis is the only human who can do this spell. I don't know how the witches even have a ritual for this thing, since it sounds like this is the first time any of this happened.
Adonis quickly figures out that they want Chloe in particular because they want to give some humans the ability to do magic, and their moon base must have humans on it for some purpose. It feels very shady, but he really wants Chloe back, so he agrees to help.
Except he changes his mind mid-ritual, because Chloe was very depressed - instead, he revives a cute witch who died in his arms back on earth.
There's potential in this story, both to become pretty good if it tones down and grows a bit of flesh on its bones, or to end up being nothing more than a mindless bloodfest if the world-building is used as a pretext for an all-out war in which people keep getting murdered and revived. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Nu stiu de voi, dar eu m-am indragostit de seriile manga de la @nezumi_bynemira , daca mi-ar fi spus careva ca voi ajunge sa pandesc data cand apare urmatorul volum, i-as fi zis ca vorbeste prostii 🤣.
Dupa ce am citit primele doua volume din “Mireasa steavechiului mag”, mi-am spus ca vreau sa incerc si “Regatele Ruinei”, sa vad care dintre cele doua imi va placea mai mult 🙈.
Ei bine, castigatoarea a fost “Regatele Ruinei” 🥰, povestea m-a absorbit de la primele pagini si in nici o ora am devorat primul volum. Îmi cadeau ochii-n gura când il citeam, pentru ca am asteptat curierul toata ziua si abia seara la 19 a venit cu coletul 🤣, cand deja capacitatea mea de functionare tindea spre zero. Dar nu m-am lasat, am topit volumul întai, am adormit cu gandul la el, iar dimineata, de cum am deschis ochii, cu gandul la volumul doi am fost. N-am putut nici ceaiul sa mi-l beau linistita pana nu m-am apucat de al doilea volum 🤣.
L-am urmarit pe Adonis cu sufletul la gura, am suferit alaturi de el cand a pierdut-o pe Chloe, am simtit indoieli cand a cunoscut-o pe Doroka, indoieli care au inceput sa se piarda o data ce treceam printre pagini si ma apropiam de finalul volumului.
Pot spune ca aceasta poveste m-a surprins mult mai mult decat seria cealalta manga, este mult mai violenta si mai sangeroasa, insa are si un farmec aparte. Abia astept sa pun mana pe volumul trei, sa vad cum evolueaza povestea lui Adonis si ce alte pericole il mai pandesc, tinand cont de cum s-a incheiat volumul doi 🙈.

In Volume 2, it seems all is lost for Adonis, until he’s rescued by other witches planning a resistance…from their base on the moon. It is here he discovers a way to review Chloe using magic and his memories.
This series in two just volumes achieved big Code Geass energy in that you know the unexpected is going to happen, but in which direction, you have no idea!
The world-building continues to be great, the art gorgeous. I really loved the design and concepts upon the lunar base. Adonis is consistently angry and bitter, but he’s not impulsive and I think that’s what makes him so interesting. It’ll be good to see him interact with other characters in future volumes.

La fin du premier tome m’avait laissée sur des charbons ardents et j’étais plutôt curieuse de voir comment allait s’en sortir Adonis. Ce dernier a juré de venger Chloé, celle qui s’est occupée de lui et lui a appris la magie. Mais, il souhaite également pouvoir la ressusciter maintenant qu’il sait que c’est possible. Même si cela se fait au détriment de l’humanité tout entière.
Adonis est un personnage empli de haine et de vengeance et je dois reconnaitre que j’ai eu bien du mal à m’attacher à lui. Il n’a qu’un seul but et il s’y tient. Pour cela il est prêt à tout anéantir. Dans cette suite une série d’évènements et de rebondissements vont clairement changer la donne en faveur du héros qui est assez mal en point.
Adonis va recevoir une aide providentielle qui pourrait voir son rêve exaucé sur tous les plans. Cependant, il faut se méfier des apparences. Et pendant ce temps, l’humanité savoure sa victoire contre l’éradication des sorcières et de cet humain élevé par l’une d’entre elles.
Ce tome était assez intense et je trouve le dynamisme qui émane des planches, happant. J’ai été prise dans l’histoire malgré des moments durs et violents. On a le cœur qui bat parce qu’on ne sait pas ce qui va arriver aux protagonistes. Les rebondissements sont bien amenés et le scénario tient la route. J’admets que la fin de ce deuxième volume m’a surprise et donné envie d’avoir la suite pour savoir ce qui va se passer.
Les dessins me plaisent toujours autant ainsi que le récit qui est entrainant. Il y a ce qu’il faut pour nous tenir en haleine et je serai au rendez-vous de la suite quand elle sortira. Voilà une série que je suis contente d’avoir commencée.

Ack, the feels! The feels! I wanted so much for the Ice Witch, Chloe, to resurrect and become far more powerful than ever, but in that moment Adonis said, "The world is too bitter, and Chloe is too good," I knew he wouldn't use his magic to bring her back. I was practically sobbing at that point! That scene made me think of my little sister, who passed away more than twenty years ago. I'd do everything in my power to bring her back had I the magic to do so, but just like Chloe, my sister was too pure for this tainted world. She'd probably say, "Thank you," for me not bringing her back, like Chloe said to Adonis in their farewell till death words to each other. Okay, I'll admit it, I was crying then. It was beautiful Adonis brought Doroka back, and I can feel the potential of a continuing plot and the hope for a new romance to blossom. Yoruhashi, I love your work and can't wait to finish reading the rest of this series!

The art is gorgeous and the world’s combination of magic with modern technology is fascinating - but I’m not sure it’s enough to make me continue the series.
It suffers much in the same way the first volume did from a MC who is so savagely bent on revenge that he’s not particularly likable, and the harshness of the setting (and the characters that inhabit it) ensure that no one else is likable, either (or that, if they are, they die). It’s hard for me to enjoy a series where there’s no one to root for, regardless of how well-put together it is.
Still, for readers who enjoy this kind of story, it *is* well-done, so it still gets 4 stars. It’s just not for me.

Very unique way to create witches….. much better than selling your soul to a demon. Instead, you are the ovaries of a plant if you are born a witch.
