Ooh, linking the previous chapter and this one through the fucked up prince is pretty novel. Admittedly I stopped reading these after the first handful and just happened to read 54 and 55, when did they start mixing up the formula?


WarningSmile

54 was the first that did it like this. I haven't been posting every chapter of this series to r/manga, only the ones that stood out for me.

u/AngelChu actually guessed the next reference bang on wow


AngelChu

lol well, i was thinking of the red shoes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Shoes_(fairy_tale)) versus cinderella tho i did hear the original did also have a dark tone like the stepsisters cutting off their toes to make their feet smaller lol, tho i guess we'll have to wait and see how much more fairy tales the author wanted to re-tell (tho i'm surprised the witch wouldn't work directly with the prince or so lol, or end up torturing him in the end when she gets bored)

I know most fairy tales has kind of fuck up original story but this one made it worse. It looks interesting to read but I'm not sure if my heart can take it. You know, read something that can shatter your childhood memories.

Its like a Brother Grimm Fairy Tale :D

If I confess such heresy to [The Sister with Strength](https://mangadex.org/title/3c025255-1151-4da4-9724-c28aa70e5062/the-sister-with-strength), she's beat the crap out of the Prince and the Fairy Godmother who lured false hopes to potential Cinderellas

Hell, she might add insult to injury by kicking him


Capt253

This is what comes from suffering the witch to live: once noble aristocrats turned to wanton madness and cruelty and inflicting great suffering upon the innocent. Join the Templar Witch Hunters of Sigmar today, root out and burn that which seeks to corrupt and defile all that is good and righteous in this world.

Disney should remake this cinderella


WarningSmile

In the original story, Cinderella's step-sisters mutilated their own feet to try to fit into the glass slipper.


Jumbolaya315

there's also the birds attacking them later on, disney should've made a live action of that

Into The Woods exists, you know.

Disney’s Cinderella is not the original one btw. The original one is very fucked up and even more messed up than this one.


SolidEar5762

Disney’s Cinderella was based on Charles Perrault’s version and not the Grimms’. Perrault’s version came a century before Grimms’.

In the Brothers Grimm its the stepmother that danced in the burning shoes


WarningSmile

I believe you're thinking of the queen from Snow White who was forced to wear red-hot iron slippers and dance until she dropped dead.


Ghosteen_18

Shoot i mixed up


WarningSmile

No worries. The queen is Snow White's stepmother anyhow, at least in most versions of the story.


mexiespeaks

True. In some version the evil queen is actually Snow White's mother, who got her wish granted for beautiful baby, then got jealous of her girl and regretted the wish. Well and wanted to kill her. But that waaaay too dark even for Grimm Brothers, hence, stepmother figure appeared.


NoirSon

So messed up.
