Underrated Beautiful Piece of Gothic Horror

by Dizzy-Wuzzy
4 years ago

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

It's a je ne sais quoi for me. A classic tale of a man and a devil but the author managed to develop it into a mix of romantic gothic horror and making the protagonist's broken sense of morality a parameter of conflict and tension. Most of the modern pieces of literature have difficulty shaping the simple personalities of people from a different era (like medieval) as a complex human without bending them to cater reader's modern sense of morality. Some authors tend to add a few modern ways of acting or thinking to make their characters the most complex and most progressive among the backward environment. But "The Devil" is different. The author knows how to exploit the simplicity of a medieval person as a complex person that can tell an interesting and intriguing story.

I might update this review from time to time. as for now, that's all I could think of.
Totally recommended for: people who like "Frankenstein" or "Wuthering Heights", those who like a medieval story at its closest form.
Really not recommended for: People who have weak heart, can't stand a story with an "incestuous" plot, sucker for girl-power story (or should I say KkoP*ge OP Female Lead story lol)

So basically this story, ironically, missed the whole demographic.

Painfully Sweet

I must say that this indeed is twisted sick, not-your-usual romance story. However, the way it unfolds will sweep you away along with the heavy emotions as you move forward. I thought I will be gritting my teeth whilst reading the story but heck, I ache for John every single time. lol

Dark, Twisted and Undeniably Lustful

by michelletan03

Rating: N/A

I honestly am a sucker for forbidden romance and dark kind of plot. And this actually is a good read I have in a while. I like how it's twisted and that the female protagonist is not a cliche weak "goody-good-two-shoes" ones I always read in some other manga. This is kind of a forbidden fruit but makes you want to read/want more.

Dark and beautiful

by oreoandmilk

Rating: N/A

Did you like Flowers of Evil? Or, more generally, do you enjoy works of anguish/sin/forbidden acts? Even more generally, do you enjoy beautiful art and great storytelling?

The work is a masterpiece. It's exemplar not just because of the fantastic art style (which is pleasing to see as well as original and distinct), but because of the complexity of the characters, the storytelling, the role of morality, the potential for resolution.

I don't admire any character, at least not entirely. But the point isn't to fall in love with anyone, even if more often than not we want to have a magnificent protagonist. The FL and ML are worthy of sympathy, however, and I cannot wait to see how their story continues.

It’s a wild ride. I won’t lie, I was initially gonna DNF this, but Manta posted a keep reading post the other day and I decided to listen. Every single time I think I know what’s happening, I don’t.

Manta is on episode 34 and I’m on the EDGE of my seat with needing to know. So yeah, keep reading, push through.

Intense piece of work, worth reading, but ah so overtly angsty

by StellaStar1

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

Whoa finally a out of the box, unique manhwa! This is a stunning piece of work, with so many layers and so many things done just right, but overall some things quite bug me and put this just short of a master piece tier. So many dark, fierce and violent moments here! So much shock! So much of everything!

The story itself is a masterful blend of several threads, connected to superstition, alchemy, generational traumas, women's role in society, incest, mad love, revenge, reincarnation, warmongering, economy... While I felt the story flow could have been a bit more polished and the plot sometimes unnecessarily veers into backstories, it was a powerful, full bodies story and it left me quite impressed. Plus that the original author of the story take it's nom de guerre from Beatrice Cenci, an Italian renaissance woman who killed her own father after he bullied and raped her her whole life. And the supporting characters were so well fleshed out, not a single one of them was a one note,paper thin creation with no personality. Winfired, Grizelda, Alyona, and the rest actually leave a mark, and this is so so rare in both western and eastern art (movies, manga, series, you name it).

The art was phenomenal. Not a bad note here. But this leads to the main downfall here... THE OVERTLY EXCESSIVE ANGST! I felt that this type of a story would benefit much, much more if it were less angsty and more socially conscious. I can understand excessive angst in stories with minimal narration, but for well tought out stories such intense emotional is just detrimental. YOu cannot really focus on anythign else when so much angst is before your eyes. And we have so much to focus here on! From the way Duke Valdemar treats Anette, to the brutality of the time period, to the social norms and customs, to the pursuit of freedom in such times... So, so many topics are covered here, but they get eaten out by so much pain, sorrow and angst. And I am afraid to say, it's cheap angst at some points. Mostly it's well made but they did try to manipulate the reader's heart string at some points. IMHO this wasn't needed for such a quality work. When Anette goes into her inner machinations, things lose a coherent line of narration and everything goes over-the-top. The art of course only multiplies this, with constant intense images, and that gets boring very soon. But indeed this is the only con of this otherwise great work.

The FL and ML are also top of the line. Johan especially is simply a splendid char. So many delicious contradictions rolled into one juicy, poisonous delight! Emotionally both a chauvinistic pig and a gentle child, a beast and the most honorable of men. Anette, our narrator, is so flawed and human it hurt at times. She's batshit crazy and realistic at once, a victim of the times and her surroundings, but also a victim of her own self. Truly a remarkable char! And their love... Don't get me started on it!

Overll, a very good manhwa, with many, many pros. Rec for sure!

Great story

by Ashleyr564

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

This story is fantastic. It’s a rare example of really intense plot tools being utilized very well. The trigger warnings at the beginning are accurate, but they genuinely contribute to the story in a heart-wrenching way that creates an enthralling and meaningful storyline. It encapsulates a tale that almost makes you hate and love all of the characters. You genuinely don’t know who to hate and who to love, and I think that is reflective of how dynamic and “real” the relationships we’re seeing play out feel.

It’s very consistent and will draw you in even after taking long breaks from it. I tend to take breaks due to it’s intensity, but it sucks you in right when you pick it back up again. You really just need to know what you’re getting into with this one, and know that the triggering themes do genuinely contribute to the experience if you feel comfortable enough exposing yourself to them.

Ahhhhh, I really want to keep reading this one, but I think it is too heavy for me...
I have that strong feeling that everything will go wrong, you know?
And consideration the start of the story was already full of bad things happening... I think I will go search for spoilers before reading further.
