4 hours until chapter 69
If anyone else wants to pregame this cry fest with me the chapter preview image is up on the author’s Twitter. Our favorite grumpy pants-hating reaper is SMILING. And it is BEAUTIFUL.
See you guys on the other side.
omg your last reply reminding me the title of Eunjae’s manhwa sent me down a rabbit hole of rehashing long repressed memories of my Buddhist teachings. (Replying here bc that thread is becoming outrageously long lol)
“Transmigration Through the 6 Realms” presumably refers to the 6 realms of existence in Buddhism - God, Demi-God, Human, Animal, Hungry Ghost, and Hell.
I’m convinced each of the main character was inspired a different cycle of the realms (God=Yama, Demi-god=Geumsun, Human=Eunjae, Animal=San (in the blissful ignorance sense), Hungry Ghost=Hwan, Hell=704) but the realms also applies to one’s psychological states and interestingly I see each character in a different realm psychologically than their physical state.
704, for example, is more psychologically in the human realm as he’s close to achieving enlightenment that will free him yet Eunjae, who’s human, mentally sought the same blissful ignorance that belongs to those in the animal realm. Geumsun, who’s a Demi-god, is clearly in hell.
I’ve been going back and forth on the last 3 since your reply so… over 2 weeks now
It’s not just that Yul looks like a child but that he’s also treated like one. If Yul is so weak that Luan has to carry him around like an infant afterwards umm... maybe don’t fuck him? Their dynamic has been weird and imbalanced from the beginning. It’s just harder to ignore how predatory it all feels when Yul is visibly aging backwards. Yikes.
ZiChen is 100% the weird one here. Most people don’t jump to move in together after only one month(!!!) of dating. It’s perfectly normal to be hesitant and guarded in a new relationship and feel uncomfortable because these feelings are unfamiliar. No matter how good it feels, if someone is not used to being showered with love their whole life, it makes sense why they would not know how to trust it or know how to respond to it without fucking it up entirely. If we didn’t know SiTong loved ZiChen for longer and ZiChen wasn’t super attractive and clearly the lead of a BL manhwa his behavior would be hella sus. Normal people don’t leave their family and their cell phone in an airport just bc someone said they’d miss them. Hope he dials it back at some point bc SiTong absolutely shouldn’t be feeling guilty for seeing a movie with a friend when they had no plans to meet and ZiChen ditched his own friends to see him bc he’s too infatuated to care about healthy boundaries.
tl;dr: leave SiTong alone. he’s doing his best. ZiChen is a LOT, ok?
Ummmm What?!?! Who is saying “I’ll never forgive you”???? Is Candy OK???? Why are his eyes like that? No way he’s dead, right? And is that Hajun on the island with a broken arm at the end??? Guess we’re going back a week and working towards the auction house scene? but I just need to know if he survived
Okay, sorry this wasn't as posted as quickly as all the previous chapters. I've been reading it over and over and over again and the summary could be deduced to a single sad line: "704 confronts Geumsun's hot and cold behavior by way of blowjob that doubles as revengeful lesson on consent".
If it wasn't so incredibly heartbreakingly sad it would be amusing to see 704 jealous of himself.
What We Learn:
- What a relief it is to see 704 address the dubcon/noncon in an empowering way and not have it swept under the rug
- Absolutely nothing else
Questions Remaining:
- where the hell is San?
- Geumsun makes such a face at 704's bow so clearly something happened with this weapon in the past?
- will 704/GS relationship ever be explained or will we all just continue collectively believing it happened with no concrete proof ever presented until the end of time like some shitty Mandela effect
- has Yama changed? are we safe?
- did everyone else know the Northerners were Chinese? or am I the only idiot? it took reading 944's name in Mandarin last chapter for me to realize.
