I came to the comments expecting an apology for Yanagi and yet why am I not surprised to find additional death wishes for him (and his wife, who is at fault but not deserving of DEATH??)
I’m seeing comments checking people for forgetting about the brother (rip angel) like he wasn’t only given an honorable mention and no screen time 12,347 sex scenes ago. Get your feet off these people’s necks.
Doesn’t act like the adult she is and clearly state why she’s there and own her relationship with Hyundo proudly to ease his mind I’m going to beat her ass transcendentally.
If this author really thinks we want to see this poor man have a whole secondary breakdown arc before getting happiness while watching La La Loopsy over here run into walls like a Roomba, then they can’t read the room for shit.
I feel like I’ve seen so many adaptations from novels recently (yay), however I’m actually surprised at how many take liberties with certain plot points or endings.
Some I give grace because reading the novel made me seize like the exorcist so to see the adaptation do an 180 was lovely. Others, I balk at because why make changes to perfection? Anyone want to weigh in with their preference or thoughts (if any)?
I was just rereading Paper Flowers and The Beast Tamed By The Evil Woman so it was on my mind.
If Guwon really isn’t human, maybe it’s connected to the title. The second time the King defies the gods and evades his punishment or “death”, he returned to the mortal world to live out the remainder of his life. The first time he trapped Thanatos and as a result no one could pass over (similar to what we see here with the living dead.) His failure to see fault and repeat his mistake a second time was when he really pissed off the gods and received the boulder rolling decree. Maybe Guwon doesn’t have his memory because he defied death on a deeper level than the regular humans surviving the apocalypse and he’ll be receiving/has already received a cross to bear to resolve the apocalypse or protect what he cares about.
Same fucking tired trope with an uke who is gonna let himself be walked all over regardless of the perfectly fine 2nd ML and the I-don’t-want-to-commit-to-you-but-nobody-else-can-have-you asshole seme. How creative.
But I can’t stand this MC. Like something about him bothers me so much yet I can’t put my finger on it, because I actually appreciate how the author sets up the realism of a transmigrated individual handling memory fade + the struggle to get back to their loved ones and original world! I think MAYBE it’s the unrealistic way he’s so desperate to get home only to turn around and fall in love within the drop of a hat despite telling himself every five minutes “do NOT like this guy because he’ll fuck you over in the plot” or “you HAVE to follow this plot line to finish the story and get home” just to fuck up the story.
If the MC (ML??) didn’t suck so bad this story would have SO much potential. I fucking hate when they stick the personality of a toddler into a grown ass man and try to play it off like they wouldn’t get their shit wrecked immediately in the real world. The poor fucking seme has so much going on and dumbass balls mcgee over here is in lala land thinking about sex all the time and trying to WALK UP TO YAKUZA HQ like it’s a 7/11??? Crying all over the place like people don’t have actual problems like OH my GOD.
I don’t think I’d expect anything less from someone who picked up a roach with bare hands
Didn’t someone say the original art was going to return by now? I can’t stand when they start with one style and switch to another, it’s not that it’s the worst I’ve ever seen it’s just not the same. They look like they got chubby cheeks and bland facial features. I’ll just reread the novel at this point if it doesn’t go back.
Does Guwon not sleep? He’s giving “I’ve never know peace.” My gut feeling is that he is incapable of sleeping but maybe he is staring at that damn boulder waiting for the other boot to drop.
I also thought the stitching around his vitals (pulse points/ligaments) were potentially tattoos since they are drawn pretty simplistic (no signs of tugging or tearing.) Sutures are usually removed/dissolved after a period of time unless it’s for a cadaver that experienced trauma. Which would imply he’s undead, a fact everyone else would surely pick up on. So unless that’s normal for the post apocalyptic world they are in (cognizant undead and unaware undead) then he’s potentially just an overpowered human/human experiment.
Also, I adore the theory correlations for the myth of Sisyphus. I’m excited to see how it falls together, wish we got more mythology works.
I do agree that baby ML deserves sympathy as all children do as they are not to be trusted with major life choices. We can essentially look at the spirit as a very old adult who deliberately entrapped a child into a slave contract. Now, for some of older MLs choices in how he treated MC, I agree responsibility can be taken and MC deserves better. HOWEVER. The decision ML makes at the end of this season??? CONE OF SHAME FOR ML; you can’t tell me this man can’t afford a psychologist to work through this break up instead of doing what he’s done. It’s about to become so problematic because of his desperation.
That mama knows what’s up, that man was garbage so vile it couldn’t even be incinerated. Good fucking riddance.
Has more depth and intrigue than this piece of shit the author wants to call a story (art aside, 10/10)
Why do authors make up names in their works like Maythan, Rudius, Leticiel, Zythalomus or CARNE (I’m looking at you JBA). Like, are the authors not able to do research into whichever culture they’re basing their plot in/on to find names that exist? Or would ya’ll consider this more creative and give kudos. Genuine question, sometimes it works for me, other times it doesn’t fit with the story at ALL and pulls me out of the immersion because it looks/sounds ridiculous depending on the setting.
Please let Yeonjo successfully kill himself this round and be free of this burden he’s placed on himself.
10/10 would recommend, bittersweet; extremely healthy depiction of a partner during life changing circumstances
