so many ppl hate the blood cult leader, but tbh, i love him. he's like our honorary annoying cast member, the diversity card amongst our personality hires. i also like how him and the scrawny dude r like, foils or smth (idk, my brain isnt big enough for this), but like, one is metaphorically chained, and the other is literally geographically chained, yet appear outwardly different, but are complementary in both personality and desires. both seem to really only have one main reason to live, and that is for freedom. you see that both are seemingly obsessed with the idea of freedom, fields, grass, and clear skies, as shown through the chained man's hallucinations, and the blood lord (or whatever he's called)'s generational trauma of wanting to escape the badlands. and it's like, the chained man has no will to live, and is selfless in the sense that he wants to escape this world to live freely, while the other dude is greedy for life and materialistic things, because he wants his people to live on free land. it's like one is comparably selfless bc the other appears selfish, but the selfish one is borne from a desire to preserve his people, and the other just does not gaf and i think that's rlly funny. and ik that one is meant to be dumb and the other is meant to be the strategist, but they both like to scream a lot idk LMAOO. idk, this is like, what i imagine some werid biblical moses to be like LOLLL
this is so corny that im glad these aren't real ppl so that i can clown on someone's source of trauma without feeling bad bc what the actual fresh hell is this
like by this point just romanticize the hell out of the "abusive father who turned to alcoholism after his wife died," trope. like why did u have to make us sit through that LMAOOOO like i feel bad bc the author clearly put time into all those angles and shit, but like,,,, idk man
imma just say, thay girk looks like a fox (like literally). bet she’s gonna answer some queations
She's the other dog girl
She is the grandma’s dog
deadass, i think if there’s an action manhwa that falls underneath the umbrella of intense solo levellin (so dungeoning, isekai, transmigration, murim, etc) this gotta be my favorite
finished the first chapter and tbh i thought it was gonna be some strange psychological manga, but the comments r suggesting it’s just a dude trynna make his spank bank all deep
ooo the art is fun. the scene of the jaws and him running away from them, the murkey/rippled video to indicate nausea-paranoia/muddled thoughts and nerves, i love seeing manhwas using mediums in their artstyles. esp casual manhwas, since i see it often in other genres, but not rlly in fast action fiction.
HOW DID WE GET HERE???
Ikr, like I know there's a fantasy subplot behind, but it's primarily action/fighting. Now it's full blown dungeon leveling system fantasy??? I'm so confused
ik there’s never justification for abuse, but there’s usually some sort of rationale behind their delusions bc wtf is thisssss? im guessing the mom got injured so the dad did some shady shit to pay for hospital bills or smth bc aint no way she died like this and then the dad decided to go sicko mode over THAT omg. there’s gotta be some financial burden and other lifestyle ruining shit instead of rhe mom dying from a kiddie dive bc wtfddddff
no joke, ex gambler is the typa mc i wanna read about
he stresses me out not bc of anything he's done but bc he's literally someone who doesn't seem to have ever felt happiness. he literally could be considered the most "normal" dude out there (assault waved off as sexual encounters being a part of normalized society), and therefore he wouldn't have such a tragic or explicitly abusive childhood to give him an inkling that life could be so happy in comparison. rather, the normalization of emptiness is such a silent death of so many ppl, it makes me sad LOL. like i'm stressed for this dude LOL
