Dark Arts Master - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Temptation Charm

[Shento]

That's not a development I like, bitch should just die.

 

[Redice]

Already with mind controls, damn. Also making her kill her friend by "accident". Buuuuuut we all know she's the third member of their party.

@Lee-Nyan

Spoiler

that puts her into top 3 favorite character then! lo/ nice trade hahaha and thank you! I guess until the series show a full bloomed yuri relationship, she will cover that aspect for now )

Just hoping the black haired girl doesn't get a Redemption arc or something... she's too rotten already

 

[Pyoro]

Ho boy. Way rushed chapter, with all the various small and large tropes (look at her fucking black hair! It's so exotic!). I suppose I overall hoped for something a bit better; not that it's awful so far, but just kinda ... typical.

'Didn't even bother to read 90% of the chapter.
Insta brainwash like that makes most of the script absolutely redundant and pointless. It's there to infuriate the readers and cause drama. W/e is being said doesn't even matter, the end result is all the same. The author even took it up to 11 by almost murdering one of the main characters.
Pathetic use of tropes.

Everyone shitting on “Brainwashing” and “Mind Control” but honestly it’s more like “Suggestion Magic”. She had to physically force Bella’s arm to hit lylian. It’s not like she was able to “Mind Control”

 

[Pyoro]

@Lee-Nyan That doesn't exactly improve the chapter, since Bestest Friend Gal just immediately goes "whoa, you crazy person!" (completely contradictory to her reaction to previous crazy things...) and with no consideration to the actual events (there's after all a famous older girl with her who supervises her training, and, hey, maybe actually take into account that she got bumped into?) runs away ...

 

[Lee-Nyan]

@Pyoro you do realize that Bella and Lylian are 13 years old

 

[Neriko]

im sorry about this but this diana and akko aura on page 4 is really strong

Everyone on that mind control drug but I'm still concerned with how this girl supposedly has the maximum grade in terms of knowledge and written application, she should know about all sorts of shit when it comes to magic. Yet in every way she seems like an utter imbecile who only knows how to speak incantations without actually knowing what the fuck she or others are doing.

You'd think practical would be the follow up of study, she should know the right method to use her magic and identify others if she's such a prodigy. It makes no sense that she can't "aim" her magic if she's been following the proper motions all this time with the only caveat being backfire, especially if she's even found practical applications for that (ie. wind dodging). Knowing the signs of a mind control spell should be ingrained in her mind with her proclaimed scholastic ability.

It just irks me that she's played off as a magician with no practical but maximum theoretical knowledge whilst displaying absolutely no proficiency in anything. I get they're going for a character trope but just don't bullshit immediately and pretend nobody was looking, or at least give us some hint that she isn't a total airhead other than "I wrote my friend a potion recipe cause knowledge is only convenient when it doesn't screw up the plot".

Also a glass potion bottle stopped the same magic that blew up a fucking multidimensional castle lmfao

 

[Varler]

What the fuck is with this bitch. Brainwashing, really? I hope that she gets stripped of her magic at the very least.

@Simply_Fiction
About your last point, check page 30

 

[MushyMushy]

Pretty ridiculous that lylian doesn't think anything is strange when her best friend doesn't want to hang out with the popular girl she hadn't even heard of but then suddenly starts worshipping her.
