LO from a former fan’s prospective:
TW: mentions of SA.
Now that Lore Olympus is actually over. Looking back on it wasn’t as great as it seems. I used to love the story to death but looking back at a few chapters it really was weird. While the art still holds a special place in my heart the writing is very subpar. I just wanna say that I also really don’t like when stories about Persephone and hades straight up smut, it ruins the entire original story’s meaning. That being said when I first read the LO it made me believe that the story was going to be different and that it wasn’t going to be smut, but that doesn’t change the fact that the writing was terrible. I related a lot with Persephone’s character especially when the talk about her SA came into the story. (A little pet peeve I still have is that when people were critical about LO they would mostly say that her SA experience was bad, and some of the time they weren’t SA victims themselves speaking of matters that didn’t happen to them. Everyone has different SA experiences there is no ‘correct’ SA experience, you are valid, and I’m glad you are strong enough to be here today with us today.) But that is all I really have to say about LO ending. (also Rachel is VERY weird with the dynamics of Persephone, it will forever rub me the wrong way. And I see a lot of critical comments about LO but the only one I really agree with is the age gap one because WTF RACHEL you easily could’ve made her hundreds if not thousands of years older it’s weird. And no this is not me trying to say you shouldn’t like LO I personally do not care BUT inclusion: IF YOU READ THE PRINCESSES JEWELRY BOX I ALREADY DON’T LIKE YOU. I could rant about that webtoon for days on end but that’s for another time. Also Hermes was the best character in the entire comic.)
