The God of Pain's Groom
BASED ON THE NOVEL BY DEMONICBLACKCAT.
For centuries, the Clandor families have provided brides to the Khaol, The God of Pain. The Clandors have always bred beautiful females: they’re pale-skinned, golden haired, and mild-mannered.
That is, until one day, Forrest Clandor refuses to be wedded and attend a typical high school house party instead. Fortunately, her twin brother River Clandor is up for the task. He pretends to be Forrest and step up to ‘marry’ Khaol. He doesn’t believe that the whole thing is real, until Khaol really does show up and accepts him as his groom.
Can River handle being married to a mercurial, short-tempered God? And how did his family end up in this situation anyway? Also, why doesn’t Khaol seem to mind that he just married a guy?

5⭐
Me encanta la historia, el arte, los colores, los personajes, los conflictos y los giros de trama.
Es todo lo que quiero en un manga/manhua/mangwa.
Tengo entendido que está basado en una novela. Mil felicitaciones a la autora y al artista. Crearon una historia increíble, entretenida y adictiva.

Warning: a lot of cursing cause I’m angry.
DNF chapter 80
No. Just no.
It was getting good and the author added, yet again, another fucking drama.
Go figure, didn’t know what to fucking add to prolong this goddam book, so they decided to go with an unnecessary love triangle. Unnecessary because EVERYONE FUCKING KNOWS HOW ITS GOING TO FUCKING END.
Let me guess, after this drama gets resolved. Another love triangle appears. And rinse and repeat.
MC should have stayed single, let the tops feel pain, and get his revenge through that way.
Ugh.

1.5 stars (this is gonna be a rant)
I had two emotions while reading this
> first
> second
I tried to read this seriously... it's just...lord
This story is so ridiculous
And don't get me wrong I'm not even talking about the plot, which in itself is something (other reviewers have better rants on that) I'm here to rant on the art, because have you seen it? There were some choices made.
For instance Heil's claws???? They go up??? What, is he trying to poke his eyes out? Who's the author trying to hurt really?
And what the hell is that fox monster thing?! LMAO
Or like when River ran after Khaol through the city and just managed to somehow rip up his shoes so much that in the end there wasn't much of them left and he started bleeding..HUHH ?!?!?
What are his shoes made of?? Paper? The fuck
And like don't get me started on that girl at the birthday party and the way the webtoon was so hyper focused on the fact that she has BIG bOUNcy boobs.
If you're trying to go full on balloon ecchi like Highschool of the Dead, then commit to it for the whole thing, damn it. 😭😭
Also, that poor grandma and her eyes 💀💀💀 i though it was drawn intentionally in the beginning, but nope
Not to totally rant on the entire thing - the premise was interesting, otherwise I would not have looked it up in the first place. And sometimes the art wasn't half as bad (like Khaol's hair, for example)
But damn, i don't know why or how I keep finding these types of webtoons *sobs*
When I got to the chapters you have to pay with ink on Tapas I just couldn't bother anymore

December 12, 2021I definitely will NOT recommend this novel to anyone because the storyline is just mehhh. At first, it started out as a funny comic with the Khaol and River having some funny, sometimes cute, and sometimes serious moments and you could tell that River loved him a lot. But by the end of season 1, the author lost the plot. Maybe because of some fan service and in a bid to make some more money, she decides to stray from the novel and change the entire storyline by stretching it till it can stretch no more.
I am just here wondering how she managed to change the male lead by bringing in a second male lead and making him the male lead for River. It's even worse because this second god, Heil, is a self-righteous, judgemental casanova and if she is going to separate River from Khaol, she should have introduced a better character to take his place.
Also, what happened to River just being alone an independent god instead of being hitched to a shitty god? Why is she still making Khaol pine for River if she has no intention of bringing them back together? Why make him realize his feelings now? What purpose does that serve? Does she intend to bring them back together?
I loooooooved the first season but from the second season, I couldn't even stomach it anymore. It has degenerated into trash and I am surprised readers aren’t telling the author the truth. It's okay to write something different from the norm, like making the second male lead the endgame but there is a better way to go about it. Heil is definitely not the best choice of River!
I have more complaints but let me just stop here.

Starting out, I thought this would be a pretty average series in terms of BL. Sure the art was good and the protagonist (River) had some personality, but still. It seemed typical, since a human falls in love with a god because they get married accidentally in a contract that River didn't know was real, blah blah. But I'm glad I still tried it out anyways.
Because I was not at all ready for the ride GOPG actually gave me. Just wow. I became absolutely hooked, buying every available episode on Tapas within the span of a single week (60+ chapters for 300 ink each, all done with offers, no real money).
I gotta say, it's one of the best webcomics I've ever read. And I've read dozens, from the BL genre to action to fantasy to sci-fi and so on. And holy smokin' moly, it was worth every drop of ink and every hour spent obtaining said ink (and believe me it took ages sometimes to get the ink through offers).
Season Two is an absolutely wild ride after the end of the First Season. And while Two starts off verrrrry roughly (the only part of this series I don't like at all), if you stick with it anyways, you'll be rewarded. Big time.
I couldn't recommend this series enough. Kudos to Cat, the author, and Clover for the beautiful art bringing these characters to life! <3

**spoilers**
When I started this story I was really liking River and Khaol together, then I understood I was wrong and changed my mind. River and Heil should have been the real couple from the first chapter. I didn't give a sh*t about Khaol and his happiness with Kaveri. He was a di*k and I wouldn't have minded for him to stay dead forever. When I was starting to like the story again, the author kinda killed it with the finale. Ok sorry but no WTF IS THIS FINALE FFS I w8 ages to see this go to sh*t? They could have ended it any other way...But Heil gave his power to his daughter, and became mortal to be able to reincarnate and stay with River that had died once his sister was dead bcs she was the last one believing in him as a god. NOPE HATED IT, I wanted both of them as never ending gods of the underworld together. FU*K THIS.
4 stars because the art deserves it, but the plot...Oh Boys the author went on a trip and not a good one.

TOTALMENTE RECOMENDADO. Es un BL con mucho drama y plot, jajaja. Se trata de un chico que se termina casando con un dios por tradición familiar (suplanta a la hermana ya que ella no quería casarse).
River, nuestro protagonista, se ve después enredado no solo en un triangulo amoroso, sino también en lucha contra la diosa loca que desea crear un mundo nuevo, eliminando a todos los que existen en la actualidad.
Realmente la peculiaridad de cada personaje, las personalidades de estos, y cómo se expresan se me hacen de alguna forma tan reales que me fue imposible no enganchar y quedarme leyendo todo el tiempo.
Lo ultra recomiendo.
Únicos detalles: Al principio puede sentirse lento pero creo que es necesario para todo lo que viene después, ya que de alguna forma es explicativo. Y lo otro es que me faltaron escenas de mi pareja favorita. No les hicieron tanta justicia solo por eso(?).

I loved this so much. The art was gorgeous and the storyline engaging with plenty of free episodes (read on Tapas). I really appreciated how the author followed the natural progression of the storyline and managed to give everyone involved a happy ending.

The title is GOD OF PAIN’S GROOM. IDK what was going on in the middle when River ‘died’ and then got all cosy with the God of Hell and then they ended up together? Did the author’s forget the title?? Or loose the plot somewhere? The storytelling was great but the storyboard was NOT.

Bien, voy a desahogarme aquí todo lo que pueda con esta historia.
La historia es prometedora, el arte es increíble, sino uno de los mejores y más bellos que he visto, y todo empezó muy bien, la trama loca de la familia que entrega una esposa a un Dios me atrapó, aunque desde el inicio sentí ciertas "fallas" está bien porque se suplian con otras cosas, ahora bien, todo se fue al caño al final de la primera temporada -¿o segunda? No estoy segura- el hecho de la autora abandonó, literalmente, todo el desarrollo que había tenido Khaol me molestó muchísimo, Khaol para mí es uno de los mejores personajes y a uno de los que más provecho se le podía sacar sin duda, simplemente tiró a la basura todo lo que él había hecho hasta ese momento, solo por que ella quería probar algo nuevo, muy decepcionante, esto no quiere decir que la pareja de Heil x River no me haya gustado, lo hizo bastante pero hasta cierto punto se sintió forzado y con muchos huecos en la trama, ¿Por qué River nunca buscó a Heil y al siguiente día de que lo buscó ya estaba enamorado? Su pareja fue para suplir la necesidad de tener una en la historia, pero no era necesaria realmente. Además que fue eso de la historia y la "guerra" entre los dioses, personalmente siento que faltó mucho desarrollo a esa guerra. Y bueno, por último me volveré a quejar del final de Kaveri y Khaol, que sin duda merecían tener una segunda oportunidad, independiente de si en realidad quería Khaol x River, Khaol merece ser feliz. Y bueno para mí, este cómic fue la canallada más grande que he visto por un autor hacia un personaje. Fin
3/5

Let me tell you this was one satisfying ending. The initial chapters had me pulling my hair out, IT WAS SO DAMN FRUSTRATING TO SEE RIVER BEING TREATED LIKE TRASH. Didn’t liked Khaol’s character from the start, an immature self loathing a**hole, an entitled man(God)child. I mean IS IT THAT HARD TO NOT TREAT YOUR HUSBAND LIKE HES SOME OBJECT WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE ON THIS PLANET IS BE A PLOT DEVICE, a bare tool used to make your 1300 years old self feel better. I wanted him to suffer a little more but Im happy that Kaveri got to be happy in the end. He deserved to be free, not bound by the chains of someone else’s obsession over him.
*Spoilers****
Also , I was literally praying that River does not end with that piece of sh*t. River and Heil are the cutest and i love them so much❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 They deserve to be happy and in love and be each other’s safe place.
Overall a very good read that also raised some important questions on Humanity and God and how we view both of them in relation to each other. But the trope of a barely legal adult getting together w someone decades older (A God , but nonetheless still older) still seems inappropriate to me. But overall a satisfying read.

Llegué a la historia por recomendación del podcast de Gavi Figueroa y no me arrepentí.
Desde la determinación de River, hasta el lento y doloroso desarrollo de Khao me dejó con la anticipación de saber que ocurriría después. Heil fue u personaje qué no esperaba amar de la forma que lo hice, así que cuando regrese a la historia para revivirlo, espero verla con distintos ojos y descubrir más detalles que me enamoren.
La historia y el dibujo son toda una obra de arte.

I binge read this entire manga/comic in one sitting and don't regret it. The complex characters, the twisting story plot, everything sucks you in and doesn't let you go until the very end. Even when I was done reading the end of season 2, the story stayed with me. I highly recommend this series to anyone who delights in becoming totally engaged with the characters in the story.

I loved this story so much. It shows that love really does make life better. You can love someone and hate them with all your might at the same time. And you can love more then 1 person at a time. Love is different for everyone. And you can always try and make up for the bad things you do.

What a good story... Still mesmerized by HEIL....

La primera vez que lo leí, estaba en emisión, pero solo me quedé cuando River recién de convierte en Dios.
Ahora que he podido leerlo completo hasta cierto punto me gustó y el final emnnn... si, también, pero creo que más o menos.
Me da pena de que Forrest va envejeciendo notoriamente (se que es normal por que los tiempos de humanos y dioses son distintos, pero no puedo evitar sentir nostalgia)
Y lo que recontra amé, fue que River se quwde con el dios del inframundo, ha sido satisfactorio 🥰, por que casi no hay obras donde el protagonista se quede con los segundos y por eso me gustó.
Me sorprendí cuando los dioses hechos desaparecieron, pero me dolió que el de la cuchara (no recuerdo su nombre) desapareciera, por que amaba mucho a su pareja y viceversa ☹️
Pero fue una buena lectura
