A Fairytale for the Demon Lord: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

''A Fairytale for the Demon Lord'' is a Korean [[Manhwa]] [[Web Comic]] about a knight who rescues a princess from the wicked demon lord who has kidnapped her.

 

[[Deconstruction|Sort of]]. [[Black and Gray Morality]] (perhaps even [[Evil Versus Evil|Black And Black Morality]]) abound.

 

 

(Be warned that ''spoilers'' abound below; the worst of them have been tagged, but it's hard to list any tropes at all for this work without spoiling some things.)

* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]]: The ending reveals that the whole thing was apparently nothing more than a story that Puginn wrote for lulz, and maybe to show Odin a possible end to his fate.}}

* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: Somewhere between this and flat-out [[Evil Versus Evil]].

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Puginn

* [[Evil Makes You Ugly]] {{spoiler|The main character gets hit by this ''hard''. It becomes a plot point when it means the Princess no longer recognizes him.}}

* [[Flash Back]]: The majority of the story is dedicated to showing how {{spoiler|the Nameless Knight}} became the Demon Lord seen in chapter 1.

* [[Gainax Ending]]: Despite all the ridiculous plot twists that build up during the story, by the end they've mostly settled down...then the ending finally shows up, and turns the whole thing into a [[Mind Screw]] of MASSIVE proportions...again. It's such an unexpected twist that even {{spoiler|Muninn}} is taken by surprise.

* [[Schizo-Tech]]: They seem to have technology capable of instantaneous long-range teleportation and communication, materialization of objects from nowhere, and prediction of the future. Yet to fight, they rely on swords.

** Well, since so many seem to be able to heal quickly, swords are just the easiest way to tear enemies to pieces. So there is nothing left to heal

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Puginn turns from a crow into a -- person.

* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]
