@SIMPINGFOR2DMEN no i’m just a autistic 19 y/o. I just happen to find realism in fantasy to be a good starting off point for motifs and subtle storytelling, if you jumble up things from the start it’ll be harder to maintain said subtlety.
Im gonna stick with my statement that the art is very nice, and plot is more than okay, but i feel as though the artist could have either used different assets or had drawn over them (which is something i personally do when drawing digitally for the past 5+ years). It doesn’t hurt to criticize media you consume, and i wasn’t trying to come off as though i was hating on it recklessly.

I mean, the architecture could also have been made using like, pre-made assets that were created for artists to save time with while creating these Manwha… such as the CGI-looking food that can show up in most manwha.

@Inlustris_N_Robin don’t bring historical logic into fantast stories.
You do realise that these are the same stories that justify buying a slave as long as you treat her well, right?

Despite the character saying the world is medieval, the maid had more expensive detailing than her master, the architecture is much more modern (18th century or so, meaning its well over 500 years off the mark), and we have records of patterning for clothing existing duding the 1500s, theres a book we have successfully transcribed that has instructions for tailors on how to cut and sew different pieces without wasting fabric.
You can make a argument for her future/past self knowledge making her dress more modestly to help provide more for her maids, but the work to actually do those details is very costly and only nobles were able to wear those things. Said clothing was also a lot heavier, and fashion majors to my knowledge arent really taught how to do tapestries.
The fact that her mothers neck is completely exposed would literally be shamed, as married women wore wimples during the middle ages, but that was more of a religious practice that dwindled away with the renaissance and women wanting to show wealth through increasingly extravagant ways (like hairstyles, which previously would be covered by headdresses [which would already be glammed out, but since you have to do your hair daily for the most part, only rich women could afford to waste time on such things, so despite some high quality embroidered headdresses existing, extravagant hair was slowly pushed])
Dont get me started on the lamps in the room though. And no, oil lamps would not have been hung so carelessly.
Outside of historical accuracy though, the story seems fine. The time period is either mistranslated or its just mashing up entire centuries into one.
