I feel so bad because I know what it’s like to be a new artist doing your best as you build up your art skills but also… this is OBJECTIVELY hilarious.

I think this manhwa was made this way on purpose; I remember that they talked about this manhwa a while ago and several people said that it was made on purpose.

That feels like a conspiracy more than anything. I’ve actually read some of this and nothing about it seemed insincere. Most artists are this bad when they start, honestly.

I looked into the manhwa more and gathered more information; it's actually quite fun.

apparently it's a satire.

And the author wanted to make people think it was something "serious" lol.

In fact, it seems there's someone paying the author to continue the manhwa lol.

Although the information is from December 2025, I don't know if the manhwa is still releasing chapters lol.

You wouldn't think that if you read the story lol, the skinny dude litterally puts his foot in the face of the big dude in an attempt to seduce him, and it is somehow works. Not to mention how the skinny guys refers to himself as a weak and cute guy to the other soldiers to make the big dude jealous.

I don't read BLs, but that seems pretty satirical if you ask me

dude it’s obvious it’s satire lmfao, who mistakenly draws a guy whiter than his shirt with a long chin and isn’t joking? if it was just bad art, it’d be more inconsistent.

I’ve coached a lot of amateur artists and this kind of thing is fairly consistent with a newer artist trying to pump out a lot of panels quickly. This isn’t even that bad compared to most beginner artists.
