lmao but is it gonna hav like actual romance between the two or is it a kind of just a buddy thing??
Oh goshhh this almost-gay-but-not-really trope just makes me all warm inside. And if you could post more spoilers it would be awesome since I'm an impatient kind of reader, plus the I think there are only 5 or 6 translated chapters as of now?
Oh correction on the translated chaps, it's actually 16 chaps lmao
Wow, I can't believe that I want their relationship to be as vague as it is. In action, there's just this mystery when the romance is not explicit. It doesn't matter whether the ship is straight or not.
AHHHHHH TYSM FOR THESE SPOILERS
I THIRST FOR MORE PLS
And does either of them have a lover or romantic interest (outside of each other ofc lmao)?
Aaaa I hope not
If you think this is BL-esque, wait till you get vol. 6 & 7 of the webnovel (ch. 37 of comic = novel vol. 2). CAUTION: Spoilers below!
- Our MC & ML share a hotel room (number 3021, if you must know) when escorting alchemist lady to Pyongyang
- During this trip, Kim Dojin stares at Yuseong’s face when he’s sleeping (!?), then goes to the shower and vows to “uncover Choi Yuseong’s secrets”
- Both of them get injured by a poison-type Villain. When Yuseong wakes up & realizes that Dojin isn’t there, he panics, then convinces himself that “it’s normal to help him heal, I am just worried b/c Dojin is the MC & it’d be bad for the world if he died”
- Helen the alchemist asks if they are friends or lovers. Kim Dojin pulls out a sword, asking Helen if she wants to die. 1 of them (not clear which) says “unfortunately I have no interest in men.”
- In Vol. 7, Choi Yuseong acknowledges that b/c of his involvement, Dojin didn’t meet a dude who was super important to his development arc. Yuseong then proceeds to say that it’s fine, b/c he has knowledge too, and (I kid you not) “I am enough for Kim Dojin.”
Might post more spoilers, but that depends on whether my source emails me back.
Be warned, I got this info from a Korean friend who refused to give me more spoilers (or chapter numbers, for that matter) so it might sound not gay at all once we get context.
