I’ve caught up and I can’t lie, I’m getting tired of being fed flashbacks after flas...

I'm gonna be so fr man I've read this manhwa like 20 times and I still have no clue why they couldn't do that. They brushed it off in one ch by saying smth like "oh but we don't even know if we could catch them if the culprit came" which is fair ig(?) but like seriously man you're not even gonna try??? the only thing i can think of is that since the culprit is working with headquarters and headquarters have cameras everywhere, maybe they wouldn't bother sending out the culprit at all if they knew Lau was there? idk man. also u mentioned that ur getting tired of being fed flashbacks so spoilers (but not rly):

we're back in the present next chapter

Thanks for letting me know <3 Honestly, the flashbacks are getting a little monotonous when you compare the time Lau’s actually doing something in the present vs how many times we keep reverting back to the past.
Also you seem to be a pretty big fan! If I may ask, is the author’s socials anywhere? I’ve tried searching for it but only could find their youtube channel…

yeah unfortunately i could only find the author's youtube channel too :( some korean fans mentioned that the art is very similar to an artist they used to follow on twitter a few years back but they couldn't remember their name ╥﹏╥ so yeah that's all of the leads i got. (also tw: im gonna yap a lot now)

Yeah the flashbacks were pretty long in season 2. I enjoyed most of them and thought they contributed to the plot pretty well except for Yajin's cuz idgaf about that point in his life I was way more interested in whatever happened with the fire than how him and Mali met. Chen's maybe could've been cut short or at least crammed into one chapter. But yeah other than that I liked all of the flashbacks cuz I think they contribute to the themes of the story of how power influences ppl's relationships from the past to the present. Also lwk I'm just a sucker for ppl's sob stories ╮(￣▽￣)╭

also uhmmm u might not like what im gonna say next（￣へ￣）but next ch is the last ch of s2. and s3 isnt gonna come out until august 13th in korea so we gotta wait a bit but from the looks of it s3 is gonna be much more involved with the present timeline. so theres not too much else going on in the present (yet) but next ch is honestly rly rly hype so i hope u like it

Honestly I recommend a reread after a while because I missed so much stuff the 1st time. I appreciated it much more the 2nd time around cuz I already had an idea of the lore so i could pick up the little details & plot the author wanted us to notice. Like Xin's drawer of trinkets being the same one he kept his storybook in, or the implication that Lian stole the 5th family's iron awl used for the yearly sacrifice (and she used it to eat fruit of all things ). Or just all of the little ways the head family manages to enforce their system... by making guardians & heirs dependent on each other from a young age, monitoring literally everyone, etc.

Even just the characters' attitudes towards each other make wayyyy more sense on a reread. I'm not saying its a perfect story by any means (I still have no clue why Lau couldn't just stay with Xin & the flashbacks were way too fucking long ) but I still appreciated it much more the 2nd time around and it flows better imo. I decided it was my fav manhwa my 2nd time reading not the 1st, so make of that what u will ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Anyways thats enough of me trying to indoctrinate u into reading a 77 ch long story AGAIN but yeah im a pretty big fan of it lol. I literally got a job so I could buy the chapters legally ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Thanks alot for the information, much appreciated, got to know a lot of things!

you are my goat. tysm!!
