Am I the only sympathetic to the dad? He got mind washed and he didn’t choose to abandon his child. I hope she and our MC can save the dad ASAP! It’s depressing to know you have no choice in life but I can’t wait for him to pay them back for taking his freedom and time with his child that needed him. That B!tch deserves her ass to be destroyed slowly and painful.

Uhhh this spoiler is totally wrong and that's not what happened.
He was brainwashed until Jihan interfered, and he regained his mind, so no, he didn't choose to leave Seah behind. It was Ito Shizuru that made him leave her because his love for hos daughter interfered with her mind control over him.
I say this as someone that is reading the novel.

Yes, he met her during his grief period.
And the last chapters did show she had to use "Obsession" to keep him in control. Her ability is one to edit people's status windows, she can also edit appearances, edit the description and function of items and etc. It's how she puts the status abnormalities in the players.
“Obedience” and the other one she usually used to control the other people she controls don't work on him, and she has to be by his side all the time because her control over him fades if she is away from him. He starts to question things, so she has to keep renewing the "Obsession" trait so he is obsessed with her. It's not voluntary.
If here they show what he did when he finally regained his mind, I think people will get him. In the novel it was a reeally nice. But let's see how they will spin the arc.

To make it simpler, our MC soon will become a National Player and during one of his matches against Japan he will try to free Yoo Sejin. He will succed partially in freeing him from mindcontrol and Sejin will start to fight off Shizuru control, and one way he found to do that was blinding himself.
He basically destroys Japan's player center, kidnap the National Players and start to threaten them to give him Shizuru, so he can kill her. But she escapes and Yoo Sejin starts to follow her trying to kill her, and because of the "Obssession" she put on him he is able to track her down. Jihan goes to Japan to look for her with him and both of them do a manhunt and finally capture and kill her. It was actually quite an amazing scene.
This will probably take some chapters because jihan still has to become a National player and he still needs to get his hands on some of the World Tree leaves (World Tree leaves, branches and etc can cure Status abnormalities).
After that, he is taken home by Jihan and he starts to go into a process of reintegrating himself in Korea. Him and Jihan start working a lot together actually.
About the previous time-line, during one of the matches he is Bethan by an Elf that had a weapon made of a branch of the World Tree, and he was freed from Shizuru control then, it wasn't clear if he killed her there, but the fact he disappeared it was because he was in despair about what happened to Seah, and he went mad with grief and anger.
It will be show later that Jihan's sister is actually alive, and it was taken as part of Void because of her sacrifice, becoming the Witch of the Void, that is in charge of seeing the end of world (earth). Sejin finds her and as a way to be punished and atone for his daughter's death and misery he becomes a monster that destroyed China in the previous timeline.
I hope this helps!

I understand people feeling sympathy for the CEO but I DON’T. She wanted him and fought to be with him when he didn’t want to. She was the one to initiate intimacy with a broken person who had a huge mental illness. He was SUICIDAL. She knew he wasn’t doing well but because she “loves” him, then he should be with her and she can save him. That was selfish of her and now that she found out how that broken person felt about her she decided to drag innocent person whose privacy was invaded. It clearly shows how disgusting of a person she is, clearly still selfish and didn’t learn anything. I feel sorry to FL and the poor brother that’s also not mentally stable. Also, she was using the brother to feel up her loneliness. They slept in the same bed! I have no word for this disgusting woman. I hope she gets Karma for the pain she is inflicted on FL and the brother. I hope he is not the ML, he is not WELL EITHER. FUCK HER!!

I had this on my list to read later on then I just found out about the author disgusting racism. I thought this is about real life but the author decided to make reverse racism situation. I have lived in Korea for a year and EVERYDAY I experienced racism due to my skin color. I met few African kids who were on exchanges student programs and the horror stories they told me of their experiences made my skin boiled. Now reading about this fake racism that author portrays which is a fantasy in a book about reality just shows the kind of mindset the author has. I even read the apology and that was horrible too. It would have been nice to actually show how foreigners in Korea especially Africans get mistreated in schools. That’s would have authentic as it happens everyday there. I’m dropping this and I really hope the author decolonize his mindset. We don’t look like how he portrayed us!!!! I know most people moved on from this issue but I just started reading this. My reaction is valid and I’m glad they didn’t delete chapter 125!

I am as I said a person of color, I don't really need to explain what shade I am, even in this situation, I don't see how that's confusing. Yes. Ik Asian are a part of poc. I understand you maybe wanted clarification, but the poc didn't need to be nitpicked here. So I didn't feel the need to explain in the situation my skin color when I can blatantly see its a porcelain skin person calling the dark skinned students the n word. In general it's a pale person hating on a person of color, for only one reason I can see is they are of another race/color.

I also didn't like how the author tackled this particular chapter or scene. It shocked me to see those people especially Hyun, say the N word. I thought that since he was introduced as a person who uses words instead of violence he would be smart enough not say that. Honestly when I first read it, I just thought that this chapter tackles about gentrification (maybe, idk why I thought that) so I was shocked by the blatant racism. But what I got from the chapter was that the author probably wanted to show (reverse racism?) somehow, show a character who looks like they're the one who'll receive hate or bullying but actually end up being the perpetrator which was shown also on the earlier chapters where the kids who looks innocent or pretends to be, actually ends up being the bully. Still that does not excuse how badly the author actually tackled this while situation.
Also someone enlighten me pls, did they remove be the next part of chapter 125 after getting hate?

Uhm some people may have disliked because of different reasons, please don't assume just because you feel your word are absolute, a dislike could mean they disagree with they way you wrote some or a specific point, I get your are passionate but even people on the same side disagree with each other it's called being human with complex thoughts and opinions

WOW YOU KNOW THAT IS RACISM AND NOTHING ELSE. It was the most disgusting thing the fake reverse racism which absolutely never happened in Korea. I and other black people have experienced the worst form of Racism in Korea similar to how American used to be in 1950. So please go excuse discrimination somewhere else.

Question, what’s the point to all this arguing? Do people not have better things to do with their lives? I want to make this blatantly clear that I do not under any circumstances condone racism, but I would like to point out that this is in the end just a comic, a complete and utter work of fiction.

Wasn't an excuse was just a different opinion on why people disliked your comment, said nothing about the chapter itself which I also think was wrong. I don't sympathize with racism, i think just because you wrote something doesn't mean all of your points are going to be liked even by the community, I didn't wanna argue, and you opened yourself to criticism when doing a comment just like me, it's no t my fault you don't wanna hear it, a dislike on YOUR comment isn't a statement saying you sympathize with racism.

My post wasn’t meant for arguing but people who support racism ended up stating their opinions. Also just fyi this is not a work of fiction as the author stated it’s based on real life events and he uses it to “educate” That’s mainly the reason why it disgusts me more than it being based on fictional events. So spreading hate shouldn’t be something to be celebrated or tolerated. I would like for people to stop commenting on this post as I’m trying to move on since I dropped this story. It’s just annoying getting notifications and just being reminded of this awful racism and people who support it!
Seeing them wearing masks gave me PTSD! COVID time was the worst social experiment. Do you know mask can actually only protect you for 30 minutes? Wearing the same one for hours is pointless and it’s actually bad for your health breathing in carbon dioxide. We were sheep for not actually doing research instead of listening to government.
Girl (gender neutral) bffr. Keep this shit on redd*t or twt
Fuck off my comment kindly. I don’t associate with dumb bitch (gender neutral)
dumb fuck
Ignorant fool
dumbass
will never fucking understand why white people always have a beef with masks like tf just wear ur masks??? it wont kill u
I'm not white...
You’re so fucking stupid. Doing your own research would prove your point wrong. Fucking idiots everywhere.
i'm taking this as you are american and just have zero clue what goes on in other countries... you may actually be cooked cause ur so slow
Fr
Wow says a very IGNORANT FOOL WHO BELIEVES THE PROPAGANDA OF THE MEDIA AND CORPORATE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL! Cry me a river
B!tch hello no. What makes you think I’m American? The same people that believe everything they are told without proper research. Most countries believe whatever propaganda America tells them, seems like your from one of them. The reality is COVID was a hoax to make billionaire more richer and poor people poorer. Please don’t read what google tells you as a truth. Actually why am I even wasting time with ignorant fool?
I am sorry i am crying the way youre literally insane
Not all Americans are idiotic fucks like this one.
You are a fucking idiot. Like you are actually fucking stupid and there is no jumping around it. If you think the bullshit that you come up with in your head is fact as opposed to actual research conducted and posted to the internet is true, you are a lost cause. Fucking lunatic. If you want to claim covid was a hoax you need to bring sources and credible ones at that, not just your echo chambers. Millions of people DIED during covid. For you to say it’s a hoax is fucking disgusting. Fucking idiot.
I am sorry but as a medical student this take is just??? I dont have words. I dont understand where you got your information from but theres actual research that has been conducted and so many people lost their life to it? So logically speaking, it doesnt make any sense that youre saying its not real and just propaganda when theres proper evidence right in front of you?
“The reality is COVID was a hoax”
im sorry i bursted out laughing bc there’s no way ur serious
well first off i wasn't even talking to you ho back off and also why are you talking about this on a site like mangago... ur just embarrassing LOL
