Finally I gave this a try on Tappytoon (it's also available via Lezhin) and soon in paper too, and I loved it. The art is amazing, I loved the drawing and colouring and the story is good if a bit rushed at times. I had some problems with time transition. I don't know if it's due to translation but it was difficult to have a sense of the passing of time because it's not clearly stated through dialogue. Fortunately the authors do a good job showing it through their drawing.
The plot (the review is for the whole series) touch hard themes like pedophilia and a tyrant ruler so this isn't for the faint of heart. I had a very hard time during some parts of the plot. Some of them maybe some people will think they were of no importance, but for me were hard to read, like when the kitten was killed. I can't read about animal death, it makes me truly upset. It's too painful for me, especially cats. And the way it was done, like the cat was of no importance, like it was replaceable, was very disturbing for me. And others were disturbing for very different reasons. All the things that involved the King's "children" were too unsettling to read. The way he was sexually involved with all those children and everyone looked to the other side because he was the King was too much at times. That and Dandellion death, it took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting that, and it was heartbreaking.
I liked how this ended. I liked that Wolfgang wanted to avoid a huge confrontation and I'm looking forward to see how he is going to rebuild the country with Shin's help, because they have a huge job in front of them. I'm going to read Triple Crown to see how their journey ends.

Oh, Shin Soohyuk. He is so intelligent but he can also be really dumb sometimes. He reminds me of Kim Dokja from ORV because they're both self sacrificing idiots. Him believing that he doesn't deserve Wolfgang while Wolfgang is literally willing to do anything for him is such an exquisite flavour of angst. The plot in this season was really plotting, if you get what I mean. They've made so much progress from when they overthrew the previous emperor and every day Soohyuk strives to make more progress with legitimising Wolfgang. But of course, there's only so much that he can do and as readers, we got to see Soohyuk coming to terms with the fact that he, too, has limitations.

Sys is a gem though! He's such an interesting character and I really like how he goes for whatever he wants, especially when it comes to men. His interactions with Randolph were hilarious too. Yoosung and Yuri's wedding was a pleasant surprise! It's one of those rare times where the author actually included a lesbian side couple and gave them a happy ending.

Definitiv eine der stärksten Fantasy / Boys Love Reihen aktuell!

King´s maker hat mich einfach komplett umgehauen Schon in Band 1 hat man deutlich gemerkt, dass man es hier mit einem absoluten Fantasyhighlight zu tun hat. Die Welt ist High Fantasy und die Charaktere sind so unglaublich stark und facettenreich, wie ich es bisher kaum gelesen habe. Genau wie der Protagonist Wolfgang die Herzen der Leser:innen für sich gewinnt, so tut er es auch mit den Menschen im Buch.
Besonders spannend war in dem Band seine Begegnung mit den anderen Söhnen des Königs und der mehr als fiese Cliffhanger am Ende. Der Webtoon erzählt auf eine faszinierende und fesselnde Art von der Grausamkeit des Königs und sorgt für eine emotionsgeladene Spannung, die wirklich atemberaubend ist. Definitiv einer meiner absoluten Lieblingstitel und eine ganz große Empfehlung. Die Boys Love ist auch wirklich sehr subtil und slow burn, daher kann ich den Titel auch für Fans von reiner Fantasy, Spannung und royalen Intrigen empfehlen.

Couldn't wait until March for the physical copy so I read it online. Really, really good. The near wordless chapter 24 was the standout. Gorgeous artwork and coloring. The framing of each panel was so cinematic and created a sense of motion that made the whole work feel alive and three-dimensional. The drama was dialed up and those last few chapters were incredibly emotional. Highly recommended.

Questa storia vivrà rent free nella mia testa per i prossimi 15 anni. Amo tutto, soprattutto i due protagonisti. Dategli un happy ending perché lo meritano troppo, soprattutto Shin

King's Maker will always have a special place in my heart. This series was so good. I love the politics. I love the character dynamics. It might have gotten a little draggy, but it's still great.
