He just happens to have lube handy but has no idea what it's for?!?!? Babes, wake up.
This was such a solidly GOOD extra/side story. So many others read as pointless exercises of tired tropes or yet another copy paste repeat of a conflict already exhausted in the main story. This one plausibly pulled from the established personalities of both and their relationship dynamic while offering something new enough to make it genuinely interesting. Translator, you did such a great job too!
ty! :D
No no no why did we leave Guwon's PoV so quick go back ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ (But like also wth is going on in this village lol.)
This comment section always entertains me. I remember when so many were convinced that Yeonjo had become so besotted he would never actually make a real move to enact his revenge. And now that he did everyone is now predicting they're doomed. I am only sure that Snob will give me a good story that only they know the ending of.
After the handkerchief episode I was momentarily terrified of what he would do with the juice.
Pleased to get an update on these idiots. Feel better soon, Ninachan, I'm sorry you were so sick. Take your time!
Happy to finally have a more concrete clue that Guwon has been putting on an act, at least to a certain degree, thus far. I never forgot the cold pragmatism that ruled his decision to rescue Jinwoo in the first place. Plus the other towns people are desperately afraid of him. (Although that may spring from how they feel about what he is rather than how he treats them? Fingers crossed.) I sorta hope his reasons for manipulating Jinwoo like this aren't too too bad? I think it must all be to some deeper purpose although I can't imagine what. Too much is still hidden.
Was always surprised by folx who thought Guwon had green flag potential. From the very start of the story when he clearly intended to let our guy die *until* he learned he was a teacher, it was clear something was off. The best one could hope for was that he'd be the type to burn the world down except for his love interest.
That being said, I did not expect to read him beat a person to death with a baseball bat while smiling. For trying to save his son's life. I don't know that any Frankenstein story line will work to rescue him from this sink, for me. The community's moral quandary is quite interesting, a great story set up, but the romance of it all...makes me queasy. #－.－) Certainly, for complexity and intrigue this is leagues above Dangerous Convenience Store, which I found to be quite typical and boring. Never understood its popularity.
I wouldn't discount where the story may be going. With his peculiar characteristics there is obviously something in his background that will pivot the story line. As to Dangerous Convenience I think it is well liked because there is nuance in how the characters are built. They are fully fleshed out with their own personalities and motivations. You end up understanding why they make the decisions they do, even if you don't agree with them. There are a lot of works out there that start off well enough but then they fail to fully realize their characters and you end up with rushed endings or with behavior that makes no sense with the progression of the story. Anyway, this is what your comment made me think about. Have a nice day!
Yes, I'm sure there will be a pivot I'm just not sure if it will be big enough to overcome the horror of this very well drawn scene. Author-nim did not hold back. But we'll see! I'll certainly be sticking around to read it. You have a nice day too.
