[Low Magic + Western Fantasy + Thoughtful Plot + Slow Burn + Intelligent Cast]
(Contains a little wholesome, lighthearted romance. Enter with caution if that’s not your thing.)
In an age when magic is scarce, knights are the backbone of the battlefield.
Wars are frequent, and human lives are cheap. Loyalty is hard to uphold, and good and evil are difficult to tell apart.
Poor mercenaries risk their lives for a living, while wealthy merchants struggle to keep their businesses afloat.
The nobility indulge in grown-up games, while the knights on the battlefield hold their heads high, refusing to yield.
People do whatever they can just to survive, then tell their sad stories in a ridiculous tone...
When you have two souls in this dark world, do you go with the flow or fight back?
Pierre: Well, it’s come to this. Let’s eat first.
While the female lead's character design feels somewhat problematic, using a minor character to reflect the darkness of contemporary society, the extent of this darkness isn't explored in the narrative. It merely focuses on the female lead's tragic past, bordering on masochistic.
