I wish Falin got to keep her little dragon buddy outside of that dream. I know it's just a part of her soul but it would be cute if she had a little monster pet.

Was thinking the same thing

Maybe she’ll get one in supplemental material

Thinking about it:

Falin came from humble origin.

Is now princess/queen due to her brother being a king.

She was cursed and turned into a monster, before turning back to human.

As a result, she is a part dragon and got cute fangs and beautiful unique silvery feathers on her legs, making her ~super special~.

One of her love interest is hot, brooding half-elf mage she studied with, that has dabbled in forbidden magic to save her and is now a wanted criminal

Her other love interest is hot, brooding son of a noble who is her former party member and who came from far away exotic land, organized massive rescue party when she was turned into a monster and hopes to marry her.

She fights crime monsters.

Basically, she is a fantasy romance novel protagonist now. :v:

If you must blink, do it now.
The only thing in the entire series that didn't land with me was the bit where Thistle kills the party and we get the little dish name pop-up for Laois' dead party members. I know it's a lighthearted series and knew they'd find a way to bring them back, but it kinda just detracted from the moment. I would've preferred Kui commit to the dread of the total party kill for at least one chapter.

And that's it. Everything else went down easy. I'll definitely read whatever Kui has cooked up next.

it was a fun play on the "eat or be eaten" thing

after spending the entire adventure finding new ways to turn monsters into cuisine, they themselves become cuisine at the hands of monsters

Oh, I understood the joke. It got a chuckle out of me. It just also deflated the moment a little. I would've put that joke somewhere else maybe.

Mostly same except that after Laios ate the Winged Lion’s old motivations I don’t think he’s capable of caring In the specific way to go for the hosed up curse anymore

GloomMouse posted:

We all now suffer the Demon Stomach for more delicious chapters, the eternal and impossible drive to satisfy desire is the true message of the story.

To be honest, I assumed Laios describing his ever-hungry demon stomach was going to be "the curse", because it's the deepest and most fundamental expression of unsatisfied desire the Winged Lion could put upon him. Being kept at arm's length from all monsters seems smaller by comparison, people could still hunt them and bring back some tasty monster steaks for the king.

laios doesn’t just want to eat monsters, he’s a certified monster freak who wants to understand everything about them and also hang out with them. them being deathly terrified of him sucks a lot but at least he’s got his sister back

So I just did a full re-read of the manga, and now I desperately need an epilogue.

Did Chilchuck patch things up with his wife?

Did Senshi go his own way, or did he stick around the new country?

Did Pattadol and Mithrun become diplomats?

Did Falin marry Shuro? Or Marcille? Neither? Both???

Hmm did she marry a guy she brushed off as gently as possible and who didn't even appear in the final chapter, or the woman who's entire arc was about coming to terms with the fact the girl she cares about more than anything in the world will die one day, ending with her finally coming to terms with that in the last moments of the manga, who she then spends the rest of her life together with? truly a mystery that the author hasn't already made as clear as needed in the text already

1, 2 and 3: yes
4: Falin had zero interest in Shuro and now that she's basically royalty she's free to tell him to gently caress off. Laios doesn't seem like the kind of guy to marry off his sister for an alliance, and he won't he in any rush for one either since he is 100% marrying the orc chief's sister. Marcille might have a shot once she clears the crimes against humanity allegations.

Eh, I think Falin and Marcille will be roommates. Really special friends. They'll always show up for holidays, feasts and family gatherings together.

Speaking of best buds I like how Kabru is one of the advisors. I don't even think Laois asked, I think Kabru just kept showing up and Laois went along with it.

Hm? Didn't appear in the final chapter? Shuro appeared in several panels in the final chapter, like this one. Certainly not a major player, but don't sell the poor guy short! Plus we haven't even heard his answer yet!
