Season 2 is much stronger than season 1 but my thoughts on the series haven't changed. I wish the main characters were likeable. I wish I cared about them as much as I cared about the side characters. 

I wish Smythe had leaned into Persephone's violence and rage and not explained it away with a "she didn't mean it!" because it made her character SO much more interesting to me.

So I can’t say enough amazing things about this story or the author, Rachel Smythe. I just re-read most of the story & read the rest that hadn’t come out when I was originally reading it. Therefore, I’ve read it in its entirety as to what is out on Webtoon as of 8/3/22, which is Ep. 206 (with using one fastpass to complete Season 2), and I am in complete and utter awe with Rachel Smythe as I always have been. This story has made me cackle, swoon, fume, and sob too many times to count within the past 24 hours of reading the entire thing. The way that the characters are developed is SO amazing, especially for what originally started out as a little Webtoon. The characters you love, you love wholeheartedly, and those you hate, it’s the same, but there are backstories and psychological reasons and details and so many amazing things that Rachel has done in order to make us see these characters and understand them more. My heart breaks for so many reasons because of this story, and Persephone is so extremely strong. Everything in this story is so well-balanced and well-done, between the romance and the heartache/slow burn and the complications of it all, all the trauma and having to work to move on after that, mental health problems and toxic relationships and therapy and healing to  looking at all of Hades’ dogs and just going ‘aww’. I absolutely adore the relationship between Kore & Hades and the author and how she’s conveyed such a magnificent, touching, heartbreakingly beautiful story.
ALSO DUDE HOLY HELL I JUST FAST PASSED FOR THE SEASON 2 FINALE AND HOLY HELL I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE IS SUCH A BADASS EEK

I love this web toon so much. I love Greek mythology retellings so much. All of these characters are amazing and have so much character development. The story mainly follows Persephone and Hades relationship, but we get a good insight of many other Olympians. The characters are so beautifully drawn.
