Okay, time to get my negative thoughts out of the way first. I did not enjoy Faust. It was not memorable, but this isn’t a Faust analysis. This is a short little thing (my definition) about what I would like to see from LUFF.
LUFF is created from Arechan which is the same author as Faust which is why I brought it up before. So my expectations are understandably lower then say Pound which was made by the creators of The Badguys. LUFF and Pound came out around the same time so it was interesting to see returning artists.
Webtoon fans, go read The Badguys. I can’t stress it enough.
So lets say some common sense that all Webtoon fans know. There are a lot of comics on LINE Webtoon that has a love triangle concept. We’ve got Let’s Play, I Love Yoo, Age Matters, Siren’s Lament, the list goes on. Those were just the ones on the top of my head.
So is it too much to say that maybe Webtoon doesn’t need another love triangle. Snailords even made a joke about love triangles on Webtoon in Freaking Romance. By the way, go read Freaking Romance...and Snailogy which is also made by the same author.
LUFF immediately introduces that there are two romantic interests right at the beginning, Before we even meet the dudes! We also know very little about them. The most I had to go off on from the beginning was the descriptions of the characters that they have been doing lately with new launch titles. The latest chapter introduced one of the guys with a bit more detail at least some what.
So two love interests and under the genre “romance” it must be a love triangle right? But what if it isn’t? What if it is a Webtoon about polygamy? To my knowledge that would be a first for Webtoon and it is controversial in the public eye and also something not everyone understands. It wouldn’t be the first time Arechan made something about LGBT characters so I wouldn’t be surprised.
From my limited knowledge about this world that I would not survive in (casually asexual and aromantic) I can estimate that it may not accept poly relationships. If the LUFF system needs your ranking and social status to function or something (Stay with me there are only 7 chapters as of today) then having two guys with one woman may create an incident.
I seriously hope that is about polygamy because it has an amazing set up for a story that has not been touched upon in my knowledge. Like I said at the beginning though, I don’t have the best expectations.
Thanks for reading if you made it to the end!
