I wish more stories dared to go past the confession. But I'll take what we get, it was an appropriately moving end

Idk, I liked the manhua in the first half, but the second half is very rushed and the ending is kinda meh...
It's just... an OK manhua

Nah it was peak fym

I kid, but I had a good time with it. Just the problems with short stories: You can only tell so much. Im just glad I got to read it.

I liked this one and hope we see more manhua from this author, I've liked all her work.

This was always just a side project for Clevercool and the chapters sometimes had large gaps between updates. So I imagine she was trying to get to the end of it to focus on her other work.

I think she used this series to make some commentary on things women have to deal with all the time while getting to draw a pretty mermaid at the same time.

Well, yeah, I get what author was trying to tell
But I just wanted more story and character development from this manhua, 'cause in the end this was all about the fact that women get sexually harassed

I wanted characters to interact more, but I didn't really want an acute social drama
(And don't get me wrong, I'm not against this kind of commentary in literature, and it is really fucked up what can happen to women)

While it could have gone on longer, or dug deeper, I adored the characterization of the two leads. They were clearly depicted, had very different perceptions and attitudes after their initial meeting (downstream of disability and trauma but not entirely based on it), and had a plausible amount of depth for the situations and window of time we spent with them. And one is a total dork fighting her girlfailure history and the world. Love it. The series flows a lot cleaner than most comics but never felt formulaic or random like most works with only two important characters.

For a fairy tale, that clarity makes it a success. Clevercool met her goal. I had to edit another post calling the series sweet after the grossness but handily deafeating dark themes is fairytale too in a way. This short story may not be a masterpiece or a fave for me, it does feel nearly complete. Seal the deal with even censored couple interactions and it's as good as it'll get without lingering too long for the setup. (Not that it has finality; a story in this position can handle a second season like a whole new plotline.)

Sums it up very nicely, I'd really like a happily-ever-after chapter but we can't always get everything we wish for.

I will wait for that bonus chapter til I'm old, I'm as patient as Wang Zi, you know. Thank you for all your hard work to finish translating this complete series! I've been waiting months for an update on this but you made the wait worth possible. My hugs with you guys!🤗❤️

Aaa so cute right up to the end. I liked how the author was bold enough to hit the topics she did and balance the focus enough that the issues aren't just passed over as a one-off joke, but also doesn't belabour the point as if everyone is preying upon others all the time and shows that there is good in life and people.
