Honestly I really love this.
I've always been a fan of Horror/Gore in BL but what I appreciate about this is how the author isn't just teasing but actually crossing that moral boundary.
The plot is crazy and so are the characters, warnings on every chapter and it's really graphic but that's what makes this unique.
An author who actively shows necrophilia and a Top getting turned on by murdering someone may be strange but oddly fascinating.
This feels so depraved that it's good again.
Also I like the setting and that it has an actual story to follow, reminds me of "Kill me if you can", equally unique and strange but it just works.
Isn't this the same artist behind "I'm a Level D Student"? I immediately recognized those horns and way the hair was drawn.
If so it's insane to come from that to straight up porn.
In their other work, romantic implications were made but nothing happened so I'm legit just shocked lol
The subtle difference between asking "how do PEOPLE have sex" and "how do 2 men have sex" basically confirms that Guwon is meant to be the personification of Sisyphus for me.
He has no memories of the past and basic concepts such as sleeping and waking up are foreign to him, almost like he doesn't belong on earth.
I really love how unsettling this whole Manhwa has become, with the village people shifting around suspiciously, I love a good mystery!
My first thought would be a rebellion but we'll have to see. I just hope the kid is okay, the behavior of the dad immediately denying teach to see him caught me in a weird way.
Also he never sleeps and protects his hill as “punishment” for going against the gods… sounds right to me.
Omg i love this idea and would never have thought of it on my own. Thank you for sharing your theory/analysis.
Exactly!! It's a clever way to portray this Greek mythology into modern times.
Thank you for the praise!!
I also have to mention that it was other commentors as well who pointed out the connections to Sisyphus so can't take full credit haha
This is why Sport BLs hold such a special place in my heart, they have such immaculate, deep and meaningful writing!
Chapter 18&19 were so beautiful! The panels, the honesty, it felt so heartfelt and genuine!
I love how Jiheon notices the little eye rub of Kwon and the conversation they had after he started swimming again, was everything!!
I rarely see such open communication in BL and I miss seeing that. Admitting you didn't want the other to look down on you for quitting so you lashed out instead is so real and my heart broke for him.
I actually need to check out the novel, I already love all the monologue in the Manhwa and can only imagine how amazing the novel must be!
This is so amazing, I can tell I'll love this!
And we even get a high quality translation with Moonflower Gem! Heck yeah!
Ps.
If he doesn't want the girl, I volunteer to take her (°^°)/
Okay I've read a lot but this one really made me nauseous reading it.
It's less because of the explicit gore but more because of the psychological undertone.
Someone wanting to be eaten and waiting for the other person to cut them up is turning my stomach.
I know there's people who want that out there but it's making me sick to even think about.
I'm sorry to whoever enjoys this but it ain't for me.
The title is making more and more sense, really love all the ppl in the comments who draw parallels to the Greek mythology!
Helps understand the story better and makes a lot of sense. They're actually the HOUNDS of Sisyphus/Guwon.
I wonder how literally the author will go with this premise.
I love cheeky and mischievous bottoms! >_<
That's such a fun dynamic and the Top is adorable.
Can't wait for more!!
