I did wonder if any of my problems have to do with some kind of editorial interference, but I have zero knowledge of the industry or the publishing process; I cannot begin to guess how likely it is. It also goes both ways: if they are not responsible for the changes, and if it was picked up thanks to the twitter version's quality, even if all changes are coming from the author, I'd perhaps except somebody to go 'hang on, this isn't what we signed up for'.

Incidentally, for my first wall of text I treated both works as monolithic, but it's notable that the humour I object to so much is completely absent in volume one, and starts up going strong in volume two. V1 has other tonal problems, issues with characterisation, and writing choices I consider inferior to the TV, but this change between the volumes is very noticeable, now that I think about it in those terms. No idea what it means, though.

I briefly mentioned it, but I do think making Sara the main viewpoint here makes a lot of sense on paper, I just think it wasn't executed well. I do absolutely see a tonal shift coming as the plot ramps up - there is foreshadowing for it already. However, the tone is not separate from other elements; it affects how we understand the characters and the story. Simply changing it to be more serious, without taking time to adjust the other aspects, is not going to be successful. Just as an example, if there are action scenes in the future where Natalia is suddenly depicted as a capable combatant, even if the scenes are played straight with no humour, it will not feel authentic without first giving her a training arc or something.

I’m trying to purchase an ebook but keep hitting walls I don’t know how to get around. I really enjoy the humor in this series and loved the TV. I tried the links provided in the scans, but alas, no luck. Thank you so much for uploading and your translation makes me laugh. The little sound effects are perfect.

It's back!!

I didn't expect to see so much intense hatred for this series when returning to the forums with the new chapter. I'm surprised but everyone has their opinions. That aside though the new chapter was fun, the cuddling was cute, and I hope the woman spreading the nasty rumors falls down a well or something haha

Full support for lesbian marriage fueled revolutionaries

I refuse to accept "friendly" as a descriptor for a wasp.

Land of fire: You can't touch other women.

Tania: Bloody revolution it is!

It's mostly just one person, whose interpretation of the events of both versions, I'd disagree with but there's way too much to respond reasonably. Yeah, though preferences and opinions will always vary.

She seems hilarious. I mostly enjoyed our Nun's complete disinterest towards those advances. She really danced and twirled her way out of that one.

With a revolution, I can change the country so that love between women is no longer punished by death.

YES !

And build a harem of the world's finest women.

NO ! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Yessss it's back, I'm glad..!!

Yes.

It's how you know it's a fantasy world.

Oh, we're getting back to where we were, but with more players in the game this time. I get the feeling Tania here is gonna trigger some sort of possessiveness in Natalia.

My queen!! I kneel!!

As someone who once set aside a tiny piece of meat to feed a hungry autumn wasp during dinner, it's not a fantasy for me <3

Also I'm very intrigued by this new character, I wonder how the introduction of her and a new kingdom will change the story.

Lol, I love both versions and both are great independent versions and it's so interesting to see two sides of the same author in the “same” work, I think.

That dream of Tania is my dream for real...not the harem part tho.

Woah. I am in love with this. Gotta check out the author Twitter ASAP.

This comic rules, in all its forms. This latest chapter is especially good :)

Hm so she wants the sword for a good cause, that's a tough call

I'm half-overpleased and half-overexcited.

I’m pretty happy with the official version and I like what it’s added to the characters, older version was good for what it was but i wouldn’t say I prefer it over the newer one

another cute moment. TBH i prefer the TV myself, especially the pacing, but SV does have some good stuff too.

Smells like (soon to be) wife

Between the wall regeneration in chapter 13 and the groundwork being laid for how important peoples faith is in giving magic to the ruler, I'm starting to feel the storm clouds brewing on the horizon. It seems like a very nasty death spiral where losing faith means losing power, which in turn causes more loss of faith and power. Not to mention the potential liabilities of having Sara in such an intimate position of power next to the current regent. I've read the pre-serialized version so I know what could happen in the future, and while this story has diverged in quite a lot of ways already, I do know that some things appear to be set in stone and I'm terrified of when they may come to pass.

Hopefully we get some more good relationship development before shit really hits the fan though. I need some sweetness to survive the storm and make it to the other side.

"Someone has been slandering you and someone you care about, so you should do exactly what they want and stay apart for the next three months."

That's such dumb advice, screw you, water princess.
