I'm new here. (charot)

LOVED "Our sunny days."
I am also very triggered by the "dumb" part..exactly because I dislike the depiction of the "dumb new to love or s** person" trope. Just because you aren't experienced in s** you don't look goofy and stupid. It's quite insulting.
Also I am not criticizing the art style(the artist clearly can draw) but dislike the choice of style elements. They chose to make him look that way, other characters look way less cartoonish/goofy.
side note: this is a site where the author hopefully never comes, because it is pirating their work...much worse than any criticism! and I actually would give the first comment as a critique directly to an artist. It's very clearly stating my taste and not putting in question their ability to draw.
you did actually underhandedly "attack" on a supposedly personal level out of your imagination.
the thing is, I genuinely enjoy the conversations that happen in the comments exactly because of different opinions.
I am sure many people like cartoonish characters that are there for the "cuteness" or for the giggles. But I am sure there's tons of people who read shonen-ai/yaoi/bl drawn usually in the style inspired by bishojo manga, because it's drawn absurdly beautiful, that is one of the basic concept of these genres.
in the end I like wallflower, late bloomer or diamond in the rough stories, but combined with the goofy, slapstick, stupid aspects it's not appealing to me
(And I repeat, I don't talk about faces of living human beings, but drawing styles)
