Genres
Summary
As a high-ranking general captured after the end of a war, the Holy Knight Gilbert braces for execution... when at the last moment, his life is saved by Chris, the enemy nation's master artificer and puppeteer. An arrogant, wickedly playful man who surrounds himself only with dolls of his own making, Chris claims to admire the beauty of Gilbert's soul and intends to use him to create his newest masterpiece.
When Gilbert refuses to go along with Chris's plan, he is forced to choose between certain death and forsaking his faith to become an immortal doll. Hoping to buy enough time to make his escape, Gilbert instead offers himself up to Chris as a slave. But if that's the game this knight wishes to play, then Chris fully intends on toying with him until Gilbert breaks to his will...

The art was good, and there’s some interesting concepts, but it feels a bit lackluster. The chemistry between the two characters isn’t really there in the story naturally and needed to be told, and the brief moment it is shown is in the last bonus chapter and it feels too late.
Also (*could be a spoiler so don’t read*) the knight says he will be a sex slave and serve the puppeteer’s needs (which are seemingly zero, but the guy seems to humor him), but then all the times there’s sex (until the end when they come together) he says it’s against his will and he doesn’t want it and doesn’t like and thus is rape, so even at the end it feels a bit like he was just broken and has Stockholm syndrome or something. And none of it quite makes sense to me anyway, since he saw his mother’s beautiful soul deteriorate in the doll and yet he wants to put another, and doesn’t understand at all that feeling, experiencing, and such is what makes life, and without it the soul will die?
But it could have been awesome, with seeing souls, and warrior dolls, and magic and wizards, and yet … kind of flat and expected. The best thing about this was the art.

The art is really good. The story feels drained out and freshly squeezed at times.
Like you know what to expect so it's not that exciting.

It was sad but also expected and rather cliche

Sigh. What's so noble about giving up your dignity?
