Ares, Ares, Ares.... Why? Just why? Leave Persephone alone you butt monkey of the Gods...
First: while Ares is being gross, insensitive, and just terrible here; while Hades may not (or maybe is) Persephone's daddy, he most certainly is the fandom's daddy.
Second: Persephone speakin' the truth
O-oh... my heart!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ So, in short: (squ)eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Nor do I, and I don't know how to feel about this....
I see no difference
does anyone else feel like the pacing of Lore Olympus is kinda slow?
in the last update literally all that happened was hades and persephone went to his office, hades rejected minthe and thanatos realised he’s fucked. i feel like lately all the episodes have been ending on cliffhangers (which isn’t always a bad thing but it gets repetitive really quickly when it doesn’t feel like much happened in the episode) and it’s a little frustrating.
i will say tho, that i’m enjoying the art style much more now, persephone looks much older than before so the weird father-daughter dynamic isn’t as uncomfortable as i found it before and persephone just seems more mature than before
I honestly dont really get why ppl hated lore olympus so much.
I havent watched any videos on lore olympus (i dont really wanna get influenced by the opinion of another), ive been just reading the webtoon and i dont think there is smth very bad about it- maybe in the start of the webtoon, things were real rocky, but then i think that it got very much better.
The world the author built is not half bad, the ways they implement the ancient greek mythos, kinda remaking a story using parts from myths and storys and mixing them in the setting they made is very fun, and the illustrations are also pleasent as hell.
i seriously dont see where the problem could be- all im thinking is that i could be a big "this isnt my thing" kind of thing which i do get, the story reading at first like a manhua type "yn x big bad jaded ceo" isnt the most intresting ( i am not really the target demographic) but then it developes into smth more like a telenovela type drama about rich families n' stuff like that (yk the ones).
Over time you see the characters evolve and change with persephony growing out of the sheltered thinking that she had and gainining more confidence and embracing her anger for the good that it can do, while hades does smth a little bit analogus but backwards: becoming less jaded and isolated and learning to accept help, quite literally fighting his trauma involving kronos and becoming more open and inviting. And many other side/ main characters have similar character arcs, slowly revealing more and more of themselves for us to see who they truly are and how they got that way.
And as for the villains, kornos was straight up kind of terrifying, kinda reminded me of white diamond in the way he was introduced, only talked about and in flashbacks, severely intangable until he was not and apolo- he doesnt deserve my praise on anything that fucking cunt. Delusional, stupid, manipulative, r-ist- you can tell the author took some (many) liberties with this one, tbh kinda annoying at some points but keep in mind that the webtoon is using the greek mythos as a base and only a base ( or even a loose inspiration for characters and settings at this point- and at current also ouranos which has been established breifly only in flashbacks and in "meanwhiles" when apolo went to consult him.
Lastly the art as i said is downright gorgeous, smth out of a picture boothan a comic and i absolutely love that! the style of the author is very recognisable without any lines making heavy use of colour in the scenes and on the characters in order to show who belongs where blue for the god of the dead and a series of dark hallways and less than ideally lit-up places, while for the goddess of spring flowers and bight colours and sunshine. this also helps draw the eye on the character that doesnt belong ther- like persephony in the underworld where you can probably spot her pink from everywhere and hades with his black while in the light and sunny overworld.
i really dont think that i have smth real bad about lore olympus (that warrants slander)
it kinda eats!
This was a beautiful ending to a beautiful webtoon.🩷💙.
SHE REALLY SAID THAT
I’m sorry PERSEPHONE YOU DID WHAT WITH WHO???
