  1. I like how villainous some of these characters seem even if they’re on Porcia’s “side”. Lavavoth is fucking intimidating and sketchy. Ashley’s magnificent tho 💀.

    1. Yeah I can tell you on this page there are some pretty morally questionable people on the “royal” side lol. I find them all fun though in their own way. Fun fact, Lava boy’s sort of a vestigial from the last regime, that Lucia has a hard time getting rid of because he’s Iri’s brother (and Lucia likes Iri), and also cause he’s related to someone on the Grand Council!

      I like Ashley too! It’s funny how Lavavoth says they’re young but Ashley’s like 40 lmao. Lavavoth’s not that much older. All the other soldiers are 19-24 years old, though so he’s not wrong there lol

  2. The worldbuilding is on another level! Looks like we see how Dick Dastardly hypnotized the soldiers….

    1. Thank you so much!! I can tell you that while I love doing it these kind of pages drain my life energy LMAO.

      Y’know it’s real funny you call that person Dick Dastardly. That kind of character, just might be more apt to explaining their behavior than yall know yet ;D

  3. Iri is scary. But sexy.

    1. Haha, a very accurate description! Fun fact she and Lavavoth were one of the first iteration of this stories first antagonists. Iri is also heavily inspired by Azula lol. But I do like Iri, she is a bit scary, but does ultimately operate on a desire for justice…hopefully. LMAO.

  4. These are a colourful cast of characters :O

    1. Thank you!! Glad to hear, I agree lol

  5. Also, if this masked dude was able to stay under the radar this easily, they can’t be as “competent” as you say Lavavoth. Or maybe bird mask is just THAT good? Even if I had a hypnosis cube I don’t know if I’d be skilled enough to evade a countries entire security force while manipulating animals to kill people 🤔. But that might just be a skill issue.

    1. Very great point! It will be interesting to eventually show how they’ve stayed under the radar. Yes there’s definitely some dysfunction…corruption, and incompetence in security and the military but generally they have never had a problem with serial killers due to how much crazy survelliance they have. And also just having good social and cultural support systems. Relative to a lot of other Paradises they have a decent record atm.

      This case has gotten this far, mostly because there’s some very creative things the perpetrators are doing to make all it work, it’s actually not even immediately obvious yet with the info I’ve given. Though there’s major components and breadcrums so far!

      Also that’s a good guess at what they’re doing haha. Man…it’s gonna get nuts, can’t wait to show y’all what happens near the end of this case.

  6. She’s dead…

    1. It’s not looking good for Maka!

  7. GHaDaA 🧜🏻‍♀️

    WTF 😭😭 They’re so goofy. I’m dyin

  8. He’s racist

    1. Lavavoth? I’m not gonna lie to ya he’s low key a fascist so not unlikely there 😭. Though here he seems to be ,at least on face value, focused more on his metric of success rather than the soldiers demographics. This paradise is probably the most diverse in general, especially it’s military :O

  9. So I’m not the only one who thought the lotion line was weird

    1. Lmao Kaycen’s a little strange

  10. My god this is incredible. The art and 3D backgrounds are so detailed, and the story is fascinating. Looks like the military is about to go in. I don’t like their chances.

    1. Thank you so much!! Means a lot :D.

      Yeah, I can say that a lot of these goofy soldiers are actually quite skilled. In terms of just a fight, the perpetrator(s) and the monsters don’t stand much of a chance if they had to say fight one squad in a fair fight. But everything about the happenings in the tunnel are underhanded and visually deceitful, so things could get messy!

  11. What in the world spirit frequency cedar oil?

    1. The cedar oil thing I believe is actually useful as tick repellent if I’m not wrong, haven’t tried it lol. I just use whatever’s on the shelf at walmart. But the spirit frequency stuff, I couldn’t tell you what the heck he’s talking about. He’s a good guy, but a complete madman lmao.

  12. Her eyes pierce into my soul.

    1. If I saw someone with pupils like that irl, I’d find them cool, but also midly terrifying haha.

  13. I know it’s a serious situation but I’m dyyyying 😂

    1. This story gets pretty intense but it’s also deeply unserious at times too. So no worries 😂

  14. Looks like they didn’t expect that.

    1. Oh yeah, definitely not!

      The thing is, to most of these soldiers, they are only tracking that there’s a monster somewhere on the loose. They’re a bit on edge since one of their soldier pals died to “the monster”, but they’re all unaware of this caped bird mask guy and whatever else is going on in the tunnels! Somehow that guy has avoided military tunnel sweeps for days :O

      Thus, to them this is just a simple Princess rescue mission in their mind, since they’re skeptical there’s anything dangerous in the tunnels after being ordered to sweep it so much and finding nothing every time.

  15. I’m curious to see how gory this’ll get, if these soldiers die. We haven’t seen anything truly grisly happen to someone, in this story yet, besides some dead bodies. But I’m sure that’s coming. Kinda nervous ngl, I like these folks more than your average redshirts already.

    Just don’t kill Ashley brother, or the cute heterochromia girl. Then you can go hog wild.

    1. Lmao. We shall see. Maybe none of them die ;D. We are early in the story afterall.

      When it comes to that horror violence stuff, all aethetic decisions I make there will based off my own threshhold for that kinda stuff. Mixed what I think realistically would happen to the character in said situation! And I don’t like sanitizing stuff, but I also don’t like super gratuitous stuff so don’t worry about any guts flying or anything nutty like that lol. I do opt to simply imply many more extreme things in my stories

      HOWEVER NGL to you though, this is the self hosted mirror so whatever happens, I’m not holding back due to webtoon restrictions 😂. If it’s like truly batshit insane, I’ll put a warning on the page though, regardless.
