I'm so sorry for pronouncing Persephone wrong 😭😭😭😭😭

[Asphils]

Webtoons criteria to be a top comic:
-romance
-self insert
-has to get bad in the middle of it

[Lumiizt]

Their height difference is so massive it should count as a long distance relationship

[nouveaupleure]

Author deadass admitted Persephone is her self insert. And Hades is based off her celebrity crush, Mads Mikkelsen. LMFAO.

[sovereignirvana]

Did you know that Persephone is actually Hades's niece since she is the daughter of Zeus, Hades's brother? Tune in next time so I can ruin relationships in Greek mythology. **runs**

[shardonayM]

That WEBTOON spent far too much time presenting 19 year old Persephone are an innocent sex symbol. Everyone but herself sexualized her, her obliviousness to her own looks it used to make her more alluring like 😰

i hate how lore olympus tries to brand itself as a “feminist retelling” when it’s quite the opposite.

[strawberryfox]

I remember the time when this became so popular that a portion of the fans couldn't discern fiction from reality and attacked people who followed Apollo in their faith and going "You know what he did to Persephone, right?".

Just a bunch of wild shit.

[suckdg]

it’s interesting how so may “feminist” modern adaptions just demonize the hell out of demeter

[silly_memories]

ok but why is webtoon so obsessed with romance? like 95% of originals are romances. webtoon, please give us a variety of originals
edit: oh wow i did not expect my rant on romance to do so well, i thought i was the only one who even cares

[elyly]

the storyline treats anyone who doesn't like persephone or her relationship w hades as wrong or straight up evil and it's genuienly so annoying, that would be like criticizing someone who doesn't want a whole ass grandpa and a barely adult woman together

[nocturnalcove]

The biggest problem with Lore Olympus is that it has no need to be this long. Hades and Persephone's story is short and to the point. Why does Ares, Hera etc need to be here? Why did we need an uprising arc with Apollo, who was done dirty?! What was the point of Cronos? And knowing there's going to be another season just milks the cow dry.

[matsu]

The artstyle is pretty but god did they made all the gods look boring.

[fruitknuklofficial]

I fucking love learning about different characters from all sorts of mythology. And then there’s lore Olympus

[gaychelthereader]

Tbh, Aphrodite in Greek mythos is definitely the type to roofie a random lady because someone found the woman prettier then Her

[alcremiecutie]

When Disney's Hercules is more accurate than Lore Olympus 😂

[noxturne]

i despise this webtoon, it’s so toxic and flat out bad. i actually saw it at my local walmart and almost laughed. i cant believe such garbage is rated so highly

[driedblueberries]

Honestly, Webtoon is plagued with people who wanna create the next big thing, rather than competent writers who want to write to make a good product. Every single time I step into the abyss all I see are teenage superhero comics, or romance. At this point I'm better off writing my own stories with the countless characters that I have

[JulyBaby]

The art style degrades so much in the later seasons that it's so awful. Every woman looks the same now and it's ironic how Minthe who is stated to be flat-chested now has big boobs now. Like wtf. They all look like a recoloured Persephone. For some weird ass reason the male characters have big shoulders and just look like talking highlighters. Oh, and for season 1-2 up to the end of the trial, it takes place in a whole MONTH. The fight scene between Persephone and Kronos is such a let down. For fucks sake it took 6 Deities to take him down yet Mary Sue Persephone is able to do it in such a short time!

Hell, considering season 3 so far with Persephone "wanting to take things slow and not marry quickly" is so retconned with the current chapter of being proposed to. 4 DAYS. In fact, Hera insisted on some lavish wedding despite that Persephone wanted to sign some papers. And this is LO Hera who had an affair with HADES for many years who is her husband's brother. She's basically putting her dead dreams on Persephone to form a life of what could have been with a man that outgrew her. And yet the FANDOM believes that Demeter was the one forcing Perse into a life she never had.

If I had to describe Hades in this webtoon, he's literally a blue Ned Fulmer. He cheats with his partner in a workplace environment and doesn't respect boundaries since he can't keep his dick in his pants. The resemblance is so uncanny it's bizarre how this is supposed to be a *feminist* retelling.

My biggest issue with LO, other than how boring it is, is that as a greek myth nerd who also loves a lot of adaptations of myths (like Percy Jackson, Hades the game, Hadestown, Epic the Musical, etc.) and am especially fond of the Greek Underworld and its deities, is that I CANNOT LOOK UP ART OF MY FAV GODDESS PERSEPHONE WITHOUT THAT PINK BLOB BEING THE ONLY THING SHOWING UP.
