I love this little webtoon! Malori is a Mage, and she is one of the best. Rather than doing what most mages do and working on becoming stronger simply to gain power, she works towards getting stronger in order to defeat the Demon Queen. Well, not exactly defeat her, Malori wants to weaken her, and then date her.
Malori has to go to the tower all the time to try and work her way up to the Queen’s floor and has befriended all the demons below. The demons secretly want her to date the queen, so they just let her go by so she can save her strength and items for the real battle. Malori hasn’t succeeded yet, but she, unlike the other adventurers, wants her heart instead of her head.
I honestly need more gay fantasy comics in my life, they are so funny, and they are so well drawn! Malori has both demon and human friends, both of which have their own love lives. One of my favorite parts of the entire comic is Curik’s secret crush (not Malori, it’s not a love triangle thank goodness), and I hope that things work out for the two of them in the end!
At the beginning of the story she seems to be a bit of a weaker foolish girl, but as the story progresses, you see that that is very far from the truth. There are even hints throughout the story so far about a “dark past” for her character, and a few of the recent episodes have been completely based around her childhood memories, so I am excited to see what happens next.
Did I mention that the art is amazing! Honestly, all these webtoons seem as if they were made by a team of animators rather than just a single person and his or her talent. The only thing that the creator seems to be assisted with is the proofreading of the story. I can’t believe how talented she is. The comic is even updated every Tuesday and Thursday, like this is amazing dedication!
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes LitRPG or fantasy books or webtoons/manga. The webtoon only has 39 episodes so far, so you would definitely be able to completely catch up over winter break.
Overall Rating: 6 out of 5 paintbrushes.
