A Fairytale for the Demon Lord, by Kim Yong-Hwan

Oct 22, 2012 22:24

Today I learned that I will read anything, no matter how careless and incoherent, if you make the dark lord the protagonist. There needs to be like, a twelve-step program for villain addiction.

Once upon a time, there was a magical princess destined to save the world, who was kidnapped by the demon lord and cast into an eternal sleep. A knight came and rescued her, only to have her stolen away from him again. To get her back, he was forced to turn himself into the demon lord. GOTO Once upon a time.

The manhwa ends without making it clear whether this story actually forms an endless loop. I only kept reading because I wanted to be sure on that point. So, screw you, manhwa. The art is really inconsistent, making it difficult to recognize recurring characters from one appearance to the next, and impossible to tell that it's deliberate that the knight's appearance is becoming more demon lordly. This person did not have the necessary art skills for the plotline he wanted to do.

(Why can't I find any books where the wicked queen's the protagonist? Aside from Superior, which doesn't really count.)
