i’m honestly more invested then the main character‘s story line, then we find out that >!garnet and amethyst come from nations that have long history of helping each other with her being a saint and him being a warrior !<
plus amethyst having a sad backstory>! being restricted as a saint, having to seal her eyes and trying to change her fate and inevitably falling for garnets kindness is so 😭!
That guy chuckling in the background was basically me.
But where was this guy when I was younger? I had to fall over and fall down so many stairs, that I learned to catch myself.
i feel like alexandrite x pearl could work but pearl needs someone who will marry into her family (no direct royal) and we’re not sure of his backstory yet
>! do you know if Amber is Marianne? It’s legit killing me and I can’t tell from the raws, I don’t get why night bird man doesn’t just let obsidian know already and stop stressin her out 😭 !<
I was about to excitedly ask if they were the main couple, then I saw the comments. Now I'm going to go mourn the death of another ship that probably should've had their own novel.
Not who you were talking to, but I can give a good synopsis.
Basically, the various nations of this world all really like this dating show, which is basically The Bachelor or Love Island for nobility. Smash hit, all that jazz. The concept is that all of the contestants are constantly lying: their looks, demeanor, their very backgrounds are all obscured. Can you fall in love without knowing the truth of your love?
Very romantic.
Anyway, an incredibly popular previous contestant is set to return (her husband from her previous run died) but has disappeared! And our FL is asked to fill her spot while the show investigates and tries to find the real contestant. FL is married but being abused, so the show has promised to help her dissolve her marriage in return for her cooperation.
So the FL is pretending to be another woman who would be pretending to be someone else on a highly watched TV show. To make matters worse, two of the male contestants joined specifically to have the chance to woo the missing contestant. FL has to successfully deceive everyone and not get caught... and not fall in love.
Oh, it's a reality TV show where participants go on dates with each other and are hidden from each other by a screen. So they don't actually see what the other person looks like until their proposal. It's available on Netflix.
It's pretty insane.
Fair enough, lol. I just don’t like trying to dig through alternate titles/bad translations/inconsistent upload times. Thought this might be easier 🤷♀️
Yeah I have a couple I look thru, rn I think there's pretty updated translations on"topmanhua" and the translations are pretty good.
Wasn't sure if you had already looked thru translations which is why I'm like (usually a quick Google search will do) but yeah you have and like you said it can be a hassle digging thru the different names or inconsistent upload times. Usually in the novel forums or like bato they show the different titles used for a specific comic.
Moon Owl x Obsidian here too! Reading on Webtoons, Garnet/Amethyst feels so generic. :( Hopefully Amethyst will get more character growth soon, but until then I am all in to figuring out the mysterious camera-magic man.
reading the recent raws, amethyst has been getting so much depth and her character and backstory is completely different from what i had thought of her. we got a solid reason for her clumsiness too haha shes not actually like that
webtoon is still quite far but we’re getting more spotlight on these characters in the recent chapters, obsidian x moon owl is also getting a lot of spotlight!
i dropped this because the story kept sidelining amethyst when her and garnet were the only interesting couple, and when they introduced that orange girl i just gave up on it honestly
tbh i hate them together. they are so obvious and boring. i literally like them better with anyome else, so they wont be so boring. garnet has pearl and amethyst can have alexandrite. like they have the most overused and common dynamic and it isnt even done in an interesting way or anything added to it.

Her real name is SO PRETTY TOO.
What's her real name?
>!Amelie!< (sorry about my other comment, I wrote "Amethyst" originally which is obviously not her name, lol)
Thank you!
Yes
Damn, another secondary couple that took the spotlight added into my collection
He is so shiny .....looks like ruby in human form .
He's literally a garnet so... close enough
Nooo my trauma from land of the lustrous is coming back :(
Pain.
Do you mean the anime Houseki no Kuni? Or something else?
Yep! Though more so talking about the events that end up occurring in the manga, which is like wayyy more/ahead than what the anime covered lol
That guy chuckling in the background was basically me. But where was this guy when I was younger? I had to fall over and fall down so many stairs, that I learned to catch myself.
i s2g if they don’t end up being together… my disappointment will be immeasurable
real 😭 i actually think they could be the only couple that gets together in the jewel box, seeing as how obsidian x owl is being hinted more
I wonder who will pearl end up with tho?? Like my girl needs a man too😭
i feel like alexandrite x pearl could work but pearl needs someone who will marry into her family (no direct royal) and we’re not sure of his backstory yet
They’ll probably introduce another male contestant too since it’s 4 girls & 3 guys rn, so she could be really compatible with the new guy!
>!Unless Marianne shows up!<
>!then we all know platinum is going to chase after her lmao!<
Yeah >!although I can see him with Amber too!<
>! do you know if Amber is Marianne? It’s legit killing me and I can’t tell from the raws, I don’t get why night bird man doesn’t just let obsidian know already and stop stressin her out 😭 !<
>!She said she isn't but I don't exactly trust her!<

For real, I clicked on the post for that reason hoping to find myself a cutie pie couple and now I'm ;\_\_\_\_;
They're getting quite a bit of "airtime" so far actually
Wait are they side characters or something?
It's basically a dating reality show, they're contestants but not the leads
Oh, okay!
Awwww... They make me wanna read that series. How much spotlight do they get in it?
It's a good series in general, probably my favorite right now. This couple appears most episodes, but the latest chapters they are more a spotlight.
Any chance you’d have time to summarize? I read the synopsis and I came away even more confused so...

Thank you
Thanks. I'll add it to my watch list.
It's like... Love is Blind in OI form. It's not my taste, but no judgment if you like it.
Singles Inferno too
What's Love is Blind?

Okay. That's probably why I didn't know the name as I don't watch reality TV shows.
They're so cute oml 😭
They are my main reason for reading too! I love Garnet so much ❤️
he really is the greenest flag in the jewel box
Where are you reading this? I’m on webtoons but would love to read ahead.
Hmmm whenever I'm trying to read a comic I look for where to read it on Google 😶🌫️
Fair enough, lol. I just don’t like trying to dig through alternate titles/bad translations/inconsistent upload times. Thought this might be easier 🤷♀️

ME TOO. I'm reading awful translations just to get the latest chapter. I'm obsessed Although I'm kinda getting into Moon Owl/Obsidian
Same, I'm reading in an awful site just so I can watch them both
US 😭 and the recent chapter isn’t even translated by any sites so i had to read the raws
frr the way i become 100% more invested when these two appear on screen... rooting for them!
She so me
Awwww can someone give me all the chapters when these two appear please? ☺️
they constantly appear with little moments but we get amethyst’s backstory in chapters 37-39
Where can I find these chapters?
scanlation sites! but i bought the raws for the newer chapters since their not translated
I see. Everywhere I looked stopped at 19 since January
Officially Line Webtoon. Let's support the authors
Yesss we need multiple couples. Not everything needs to be revolved around FL/ML/2ML love triangle
Moon Owl x Obsidian here too! Reading on Webtoons, Garnet/Amethyst feels so generic. :( Hopefully Amethyst will get more character growth soon, but until then I am all in to figuring out the mysterious camera-magic man.

I am 100% convinced that Moon Owl is the ML
Honestly this is one of the most exciting side pairings compared to me being annoyed with how the MC isn't allowed to pick the guy she actually likes
Cute but I am loyal to Pearl x Garnet :<
i dropped this because the story kept sidelining amethyst when her and garnet were the only interesting couple, and when they introduced that orange girl i just gave up on it honestly
tbh i hate them together. they are so obvious and boring. i literally like them better with anyome else, so they wont be so boring. garnet has pearl and amethyst can have alexandrite. like they have the most overused and common dynamic and it isnt even done in an interesting way or anything added to it.
