Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. There's practically zero storyline, mostly smut. But pretty pictures. ( ) This one really annoyed me by having SO MUCH potential and then just letting it all drop away. First, the artwork is really beautiful. Detailed, intricate, and blessedly light on the chibi bits. Second, the world depicted was pretty interesting and could have been deep. Third, the enemies-to-lovers trope is one that can be a lot of fun to read when done well. The situation had promise and the book started pretty well. But, as seems to be the trend with the 'mature content' yaoi manga, it's all about getting to the drawings of a sweaty naked uke 'hah, hah, hah' ing away, some censored penis drawings, and I am ... bored. Oh, there is a love story, and it's good enough to carry the book, but it gets passed over or sped through. I'm not sure if it is publisher/editor requirements, genre trope pressure, or just a matter of page count, but I was very disappointed with how much there could have been and just wasn't. There's even a whole potential discussion about what is a soul, what constitutes a life -- and these are essential to the story as presented -- but, again, it all gets zipped up and skipped over to get to the next sex scene. I know these stories are originally presented as chapters with long wait periods between them, and when they are combined into a single book, it can affect the overall story. But, no, I have other examples in my library where it is done much better. Especially with the excellent artwork, that the story fell flat just makes it worse. This is more of a 3.5 than a 4. The art is lovely, with a gorgeous cover and some really detailed, pretty shots of armor. Gilbert in full armor in particular is a treat. The characters are interesting and the world-building is okay. The story isn't the best, but if you're into master/slave stuff, this is there, and there's some fun kinky stuff with I found the It also kind of jumps the gun with certain characters, like when This feels like it exists primarily for vibes and kinks than plot, and it works well enough on that front, hence the high star rating. It's not a bad use of your time if the art and plot sound compelling. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
As a high-ranking general captured after the end of a war, the Holy Knight Gilbert braces for execution... when at the last moment, his life is saved by Chris, the enemy nation's master artificer and puppeteer. An arrogant, wickedly playful man who surrounds himself only with dolls of his own making, Chris claims to admire the beauty of Gilbert's soul and intends to use him to create his newest masterpiece. When Gilbert refuses to go along with Chris's plan, he is forced to choose between certain death and forsaking his faith to become an immortal doll. Hoping to buy enough time to make his escape, Gilbert instead offers himself up to Chris as a slave. But if that's the game this knight wishes to play, then Chris fully intends on toying with him until Gilbert breaks to his will... Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
