When I first came across this comic I fell in love with it. It got me interested that I took ancient Egyptian mythology as a secondary. After studying and actually reading the different versions of the mythology, and after re-reading this i conclude: this story is so fucking disrespectful towards the stories of the Gods.
I get it its a yaoi, but thats no excuse to whitewash, bastardise and make a mockery of the actual mythology.
Seth is literally darker than horus in the stone tapestries, where did my baddie's mellanin go? And why is he so fucking weak? Even after Maat sealed his divine powers he still has the strength of a God, physically speaking hes one of the most powerful Gods in the mythology, yet hes be bastardised into some weak ass tsundere. He could very easily kill Horus whenever he wanted, he just never saw horus as a threat.
Not to mention the fact that this author is making all the female characters peices of shit? Take our most recent example Hathor, in the true to lore, she is quiet, demure and soft spoken, she is the goddess of love and beauty! Why the fuck would she be jealous? She'd never act like this, she actually respects herself. Second example Isis, she's gotten a bad rep for her jealousy, which again was totally made up, Isis is the most level headed of the Goddesses in the mythology, these a devils chance in heaven she'd act like that.
Also why the hell is Ra a woman? Ra is male. Atum is male. All the different times of Ra are male. Ra also wouldn't be spending so much time fussing over the other Gods and their business, he never showed up to Seth's trials in any of the mythology. You know why? Because Ra is the sun God, and arguably the most busy God of them all and he rolls the sun across the sky, only resting at night.
There's also like a shit ton of very important Gods just straight up missing, which is making huge plot gaps, like the God of fertility and his daughter, who supported Seth to the end (in one version they helped him escape Egypt) Like hello? They're fundamental to Seth's stories.
TLDR; Now that I properly studied ancient Egyptian mythology this comic sucks cheeks.

There is Female Ra called Raet-Tawy (there like many version of Ra dude) also Ra doesn't sleep at night he actually go to Duet to fight the snake god Apophis who also god of chaos and Ra have many campion during that journey including Seth. Also who the god fertility there's many? You mean Taweret the one in Moon Knight (Fun fact: she also his consort) and Seth has many children such as Thoth because of the salad incident and aswell the four son of Horus. Also Fun Fact: Did you know after ennead he went Asia

I know lol, I left out a shit ton of details cuz i was ranting lol, I am planning on making a game where you are a cat who fets ent back in time and its your job to prevent Set from becoming "evil", im open to more information surrounding the other Gods as my main topic of focus during my secondary degree was entirely Set. :D

Oh yeah, the fertility god I was talking about was Mihn / Min, after the salad incident, in the versions I studied Min said he saw Horus cheating making the trial null.
In other versions he also criticised Osiris for forsaking his job, getting Osiris punishment. Which was sooo satisfying to learn. His daughter, idk tho she was kind of like his shadow. (Like if hes scolded someone she'd be there like "Yeah thats right!") Im pretty sure she's half mortal tho.

Honestly my main source is museums, but i also bought this book on amazon that goes in depth about the different Egyptian Gods and their stories i also bought a book which explains why Seth was a scapegoat gor most of his life, which built a ton of resentment, I'll have to find the book titles for you

Also about your game I think main character should be a person who work mail service or delivery service. Hear me out and I know is the weirdest opinion ever and you asking "Why...?" Because Seth god of foreigner and he protect the caravan who trad goods. So imagine the pain stacking of the trade goods (because of you work service)and favors for you to trade to meet Seth or stopping him from becoming evil

Mfer thats HIS WIFE, ofc hes gonna be happy to know that she didnt cheat on him and was manipulated by some fuckass mirror. Im sorry but be fucking for real Horus, that man is not yours, and never was, its clear to me that he's always loved Nephethys, and not Horus, its very clear with how he behaves.
Mythology Lore Drop: Set (Seth) and Nephethys married out of love not convenience, Set was like that cliché love interest that hates everyone but his wife lol. Im the mythology Isis has actually killed Nephethys bleeding her into the nile in order to revive Osiris. (This happened before Set's 3 trials).
Nephethys was the only other God (aside from Atumn (The creator God) and Ra) who respected and liked Set.
If anyone wants i can drop some more Set lore, like he is here, hes a huge baddie in the mythology too.

Mythology has a lot of variations from region to region tho. Like im not denying all of what you said but there are certain variations where he's worshipped with horus as well as a combined form where both of them rule egypt togetehr one upper egypt one lower Egypt. Also pls dont hate me but in this manhwa seth actually DOES love horus. He loved nephyths too but its not that he's never loved horus or never will. There are so many types of love and what he shared with neph was indeed a harmonious marriage even if their married life was doomed from the start. But if u re read the last two panels youd see he never wanted to break up with horus. He kept saying they'll talk later he just wanted to go meet nephyths because their parting wasnt good n with such a huge misunderstanding finally coming to light a confrontation was much needed but horus in his insecurities and immaturity misunderstood Seth. I mean he knows seth best. He knows even if seth were to love him seth was a guy of honor and loyalty and he would obv put his former family first for now.. mind u, the big reveal abt neph not cheating didnt shock seth as much as mirror lying to him abt horus fake love. His eyes literally went vacant and he repeated the mirror's words. In last ch we see him mutter that he knew nobody would really love him for himself and this is also one of the reasons why he wanted to run away so much. He feels betrayed emotionally and wished to sought refuge in comforts of familiarity n nostalgia a place of the past where he thinks he would be welcomed aka neph.

I explained a bit abt the circumstances around their marriage IN this manhwa how mojito created it. I know lore accurate seth is a guy who loves his wife neph dearly in all popular variations but there are some variation routes where he's with horus too ahaha. Oh btw no hate pls Im simply sharing some of my views n analysis based on the plot here. (●'◡'●)ノ

It's clear that heloves Nephthys from how he behaves? Man, if that's his "love" I in Nephthys' place would've divorced his azz EONS AGO... cause, from *Nephthys'* perspective:
1) Seth abused their son to the point Anubis commited suicide (revealed in chapter 19);
2) Seth imprisoned her sister who was innocent (Isis), and even threatened to rape her;
3) Seth turned the kingdom they had strived to protect into a nightmarish hellhole.
4) Seth not only killed women and children, but destroyed their souls, denying them an afterlife.
5) Seth put a deadly curse on their son's arm, that almost erased their son's existence.
6) Seth never told her about Osiris' repeated attempts to get their son killed, sacrificed, or mistreated and having his mouth stitched.

Like, seriously... what kind of mother would just forgive her husband all of that? Does NO ONE HERE EVER REMEMBER Nephthys here wasn't just supposed to be someone's WIFE, but also someone else's **MOTHER?

THIS!! and before being someone's mother she's also "someone" her own identity. First n foremost she's literally goddess of peace and harmony and to have peace disrupted n harmony throttled out in worst ways ever.. to see egypt turned upside down where women are soo rare in population now due to seths indiscriminately mindless killings and the few women/children who are unlucky alive are caught and sold daily by carravan cults. Neph isnr innocent either but here in osiris mega mastermind plans she's another pitiful victim whos suffered a lot like seth. Like omg horus seth and neph isis anubis khnum everyone is suffering because of osiris. but yeah seth neph did have a happy marriage which they unfortunately cant reconcile anymore cus theyre wayyyy past that and seth does love horus and unlike last time where he was forced into a marriage with neph by osiris and had the arrange marriage love live here he's loving horus by his own choice not any outsider manipulation.

What you said is basically why she rejects him in the raws when he goes to see her. She's absolutely disgusting with what he did. And when Seth goes to say "but you're all i have" she looks at him n goes "is that really true? And what about horus?" Like brother theres no way you thought you could just go back to everything being "normal" as if you didnt do what you did, thats the whole point of you suppose to be repenting

Set isn't gay though, hes a victim... i mean im going based on the most recognised version of the mythology, but in one version horus literally raped him to death, brother idc its obsession not love + Seth clearly doesnt appreciate Horus "hes just a tsundere" no!!! Hes being manipulated and sexually harassed!!!

Yeah, and now that you mention Nephthys 's role as goddess of peace and harmony, we can add another item for her to be mad at Seth:
7) How Seth has failed to let Nephthys know that her sacrifice is wasted now, of having given all her power of peace and harmony to Seth himself, instead of to Anubis (because she had trusted that, compared to Anubis, Seth would have more chances of finding ways to solve the curse, in time to save Anubis' life), when Nephthys would certainly deserve to know that this previous sacrifice of hers has already gone to waste, since her son Anubis is about to die anyway, because Osiris is now forcing Anubis to eat Seth's part of the curse in order to get rid of the curse in Seth's bracelet, becoming a cursed vessel so that he can die in Seth's place. ...So... you'd think the goddess of harmony would deserve to know how her efforts to save her son along with the cursed souls are now completely wasted, as 'someone' (Osiris) has managed to thwart them all, and put her her son's back again in mortal peril... You'd think the goddess of peace would deserve to be updated on this piece of news, since she'd sacrificed so much by giving her entire power away, only for it to end like that... But NO, Seth feels it's a more urgent priority to confirm whether Nephthys once loved him, than to warn her about the impending danger her son's AGAIN been put in, by someone obsessed with making her son die in Seth's place...

Seth is a victim as well as a war criminal with uncountable crimes in his record. Two things can exist. Like did we forget HE was first there to rape horus and wanted to rape isis too in his madness (osiris fault but ) even in canon mythology versions he's first there to rape horus And does it too. If u srsly think seth doesnt appreciate or love horus oh man youre in so much surprise lol Im dying to spoil u but im gonna hold back for your sake. Bestie re read the panels doesnt even have to be from s1 just re read the last two updates posted here again n focus on Seth's reactions. He is a tsundere tho like idk what makes u think he's super cheerful wearing heart on sleeve guy. He's always been deeply emotional but with a bad record at relationships and I dont mean canon seth. I mean the seth in this manhwa. The only relationship he was manipulated into was with nephyths by osiris. He got with horus on his own and fell in love on his own too. I mean its a complex manhwa but not that complex to not pick up nuances. Unless youre purposely picking up what fits your desired narrative. But in either way if it wasnt already clear to u the upcoming chapters will spell things out literally whether u fw it or not.

Thanks for being respectful, its a rare occurance nowadays, Seth's stories are one of my biggest passions, but i feel like he tolerates Horus, putting up with his antics rather than outright loving him. Seth is a good guy at heart, like see how sweet he was with that kitten. I know that this story goes off a less popular version of the mythology (plus its a super watered down version of it lol). But yeah, its a fanfic basically, but to me even in this story Seth and Horus have absolutely no chemistry lol ( ̄∇ ̄")

Oh thanks!!!!! Being respectful is what we all should do i mean its a piece of fiction ffs and ppl shouldn't get into ugly wars because of it. Acknowledging each other's opinions and correcting misinfos is what we should strive to do. OH BTW I THOUGHT U REPLIED TO ME RUDELY EARLIER SO I RESPONDED BACK A BIT IRRITATED PLS I MEAN NO OFFENSE I saw your response now.
Egyptian mythology is one of my keen passions too so I love this manhwa a lot and am always enthusiastic to speak about it. And I agree ! It sure might seem they have no chemistry since they got together fairly recently but from my pov( srsly all respect to your own pov) I saw how much dedicated n devoted horus is towards him and how seth was beginning to open up to jorus as well despite all his trauma n everything. And based on hieroglyphics translations I have faith on mojito for fleshing out horuseth properly. And if Horus rhe elder and past life seth lovers theory comes true we will have a proper drawn out new perspective om their relationship as well.
Oh and theres also this hieroglyphic mural in the manhwa which translates to "seth loves horus" its in chapter 73 from season 1. Mojito hides cryptic messages n spoilers in ennead's murals and someone posted a megathread translating all of them from s1. Have u seen them? I can link u theyre really fun! And i really apologise for sounding rude in my 2nd response.

You are going based off of mythology but this story is clearly not following the exact mythology. This is a fanfiction and if you don't like the main couple being together I really wonder why you're still reading.
Also related to the point you raised about Seth not being gay, I'm talking about this comic because we are literally in it's comment section. In this comic Seth consensually had sex with Horus in the past few chapters if you remember.
Also Seth isn't a complete victim because a lot of the things that he went through(in this comic) were the consequences of his own actions. He even tried to r*pe Horus at the start which I've never seen the rest of the Seth defenders (not you specifically) address

This is false, and since you brought up the actual mythology you should know that. Seth tries to rape horus to show dominance, also to get back at horus for being osiris' son. It was Horus who was under Sekmett's/the mirrors influence which is why Seth was raped instead. Seth tried to flee because Horus started fighting back. Reread the chapter if you need to

In case you want to read it again it is chapter 29 and 30. Sekhmet verbally hints to Seth that he should r*pe Horus so he listens to her. She doesn't put any spelling on him no curse nothing. Seth does it if his own volition. But at the end of chapter 30 after Horus overpowers him you can see that Horus' eyes have changed into catlike eyes. This shows that Sekhmet placed a spell on Horus

In the most recognised version of the mythology, one of the trials was given by the God of male fertility. He deemed the one who had received his opposition's seed would lose. (Essencially who can rape the other the quickest), Set never got around to it as when he was in the planning stages Horus "came unto his lettuce" (aka raped him first) and Set lost the trial and got pregnant and died as his child crawled out of his head. (This hippo goddess is the one featured in moonknight ironically)
For my point previously, in this comic, Sekmett did some freaky mind magic to Seth making him crave Horus.
Set isn't my hyperfixation, hes my war criminal, male SA victim baddie.
(Note: I know this comic isn't accurate at Seth is actually called Set, "Seth" is a name originating from Eastern Europe.)

See there you are comparing mythology to this fanfiction again. I am not talking about mythology I am ONLY talking about this manga because I like this manga and want to read it. I hate when people complain about something they aren't even reading.
It's great that you are interested in the mythology but this manga is not actual texts or actual mythology. This is about Horus x Seth and in this manga Seth clearly likes Horus.
Also regarding your point you're saying Sekhmet did some magic on Seth you are again basing it in actual mythology not this comic. In this comic she ONLY SPOKE to him. This is a DIFFERENT storyline from the mythology you like. Stop complaining if you don't even want to read the comic. What's the point in hating on Horus if this is just a fanfiction??? I genuinely don't understand why you're hating on something which is not the mythology you are speaking of

If you know this comic isn't accurate WHY are you arguing mythology points. This is not the same??? Fanfiction is not actual mythology. I'm saying this again but this is a DIFFERENT storyline. If you don't like Horus x Seth stop hating on the ship under the comments of the comic because people read this because they like the ship.
Btw this comic is tagged YAOI. I don't think that mythology will have that??? So if this is yaoi it is going to have gay couples why are you mad about that?

Idk what that means. You said this comic ch 20. This comic is ENNEAD. And in Ennead Sekhmet didn't cast a spell on Seth and he is an almost rapist and killer of women. This is not accurate mythology. Heck this is not even SUPPOSED to follow mythology. Do you even know what fanfiction and head cannon is?? Why are you bringing up real mythology please tell me

What she did was a psychological manipulation: Chapter 33, Sekhmet says to Seth: "All I had to do was give a little water to the soil that Osiris left behind. That guy planted something oh so amusing inside you. (...) Why do you think? (...) Why have you become weak like a human? (..) Want me to tell you what Osiris planted in you?" Then she explains what Osiris planted when tells Horus in chapter 34: "I'm sure you've already caught on, but your father (Osiris) has placed a clever 'jinx' on Seth. He cast it just before he passed on to the realm of the dead." That 'jinx' is revealed in chapter 35, when after a flashback, a text explains: "With that, the seed of doubt had been sown. Seth became skeptical of himself. It was a curse that made him deny the very existence of his own divine being. Osiris had demolished everything Seth had known to be the truth. Once the seed of doubt had taken hold..." Later in that chapter, Sekhmet says: "Seth unconsciously believed that he was weak (...) I didn't cast any spells on him, all I did was heighten his doubts. Osiris imprinted a sense of weakness in him (...) You're right, under normal circumstances, Seth wouldn't have been fooled so easily, however... what if I were to tell you that Nephthys was the one who sealed the deal?"

Truee .. also the contendings of seth n horus is surely the most popular variation of mythology but the facts and details and certain aspects change from place to place. There are many variations of Egyptian mythology some are influenced from greek pantheon and some adopted from or to nubian society as well. Horus himself has a lot of variations. There's proto horus aka montu who existed as major worshipping diety before horus was popularized in late pre historical egypt. Theres also Ra horakhty which is when horus devours Ra and Horus The elder who's 5th and youngest sibling after osiris isis seth neph. In some lesser known variations thoth is said to born as result of horus and Seth's union that arises when chaos and order are balanced, like some interpret horus n seth as thoth. So what i mean is ultimately it depends on readers and enthusiasts which version theyd want to pick and roll with. Like I get the other ppl who dont see much chemistry or horuseth development because its less so far which is obv cuz its a slow burn n romance isnt the main plot here but there are moments, panels, expressions, dialogues n gestures that exist that one can analyse to see how horuseth complete eo in this manhwa n hopefully we will see more of it in future chapters n s3
This is do unserious I love it
