Are you seriously telling me that no other country--no, that no other *person*--tried to eat a boss drop? That there are no other kings on the entire Earth?
I love the commentary on capitalism and absolutely believe that nations out there would purposefully restrict the closing of dungeons for monetary gain, especially countries like the US and Korea, but none of them also have, like, a team of scientists that are just going crazy trying to test literally everything? I love our girl, but her being Earth's sole savior is just a lot like let her divide the responsibility among others OTL
I think it was mentioned somewhere that getting a boss horn drop was really rare, and it was never a whole one. At least ML knew that eating a (partial?) horn gave you a new skill, but MC's skill seems to be the only way to get a whole boss horn.
Because the capitalists didn’t want to kill the dungeon bosses. It was already mentioned that Jihan’s group was the only one who is publicly known to have killed a boss, so he was the only one who had the opportunity to experiment with the horn.
Wahh, I binged this entire thing, lolol
Growing up in a relatively accepting community at a bit of a different time, it was difficult for me to relate much. But this comic made me realize the "no tolerance for intolerance" mindset can be a bit of a privilege at times, and its misuse can also be dangerous.
I remember in high school, I was one of the only out kids. I knew quite a few homophobes. But by just being myself and not getting mad at them (although that would be justified) they ended up becoming more tolerant.
There were some moments when reading where I was cringing and thinking "what a horrible person!" but then I remembered that no one thinks they're a terrible person. We're all doing what we think is best based on knowledge avaliable... and the thoughts characters have could easily be held by us, if our situations were different. If I didn't have a kind and compassionate mom... if I didn't meet the people I did... I could have been hateful while thinking I was justified in being cruel.
I imagine this comic was very helpful during the time it was published in the early 2000's. And it reminds me that no one wants to be yelled at or lectured about why they're a horrible person... Why they're intolerant and evil and should be shunned by society. That just makes hatred grow and fester... and emboldens people by making them (ironically) feeling like the victims in the scenario.
So in an odd way, this comic reminded me, as a queer person, to be more tolerant to those who are ignorant. That a lot of them are just uneducated or unfamiliar... and if it's safe to and I can afford to, to just... show them I'm normal. (But if someone refuses to learn, I won't waste my time)
Beautiful comment
Its good to be charitable when you assume that person is just ignorant, and to be fair, most people are. But when homophobia goes beyond ignorance towards hatred and malice, I wouldnt be as nice to them. Basically my entire family is homophobic, but its easy to tell if they're a piece of shit or or just ignorant. My cousin told me to be fair that she finds me gross, but we still get along (Kind of). But it shouldnt be surprising that she thinks that way, since our parents think the same way
The FL makes sense... to an extent. I don't know why her first thought was that she reincarnated into a specific novel or video game with a set lore and world building, since a lot of isekai stories also have characters waking up in completely "original" worlds. If the events were similar to a story she had read before, that would make sense. But she's super dedicated to the idea that it's a novel even though she has no basis for the claim.
However, with the thought process that she is in a novel, her actions make sense. I just wish the writing was a bit better to make us empathize with her more. Since we know from the beginning it's actually a horrifying world, her actions just make her seem dumb (even though they're totally justifiable from her line of thought). It would have been a lot more interesting to have us discover things aren't quite as they seem alongside her. Maybe give her a bit more agency when finding out what type of "romance" book she woke up in. Have us (and her) slowly realize things aren't as they seem.
I'm at the point where it's been revealed that she never had any grasp on the situation and shit is scary and life-threatening. Yet she continues to hold onto the idea that it's still a novel or a game (again, why does she believe she's in a fictional world?) and carries over her biases with romance plots into the scenario.
If I woke up I a romance novel and suddenly it turned out I had no idea what was really happening and everyone is dying and trying to kill me, I sure as hell wouldn't be so flippant or stubborn about certain aspects. Rosé is obsessed with this notion of a "dragon," because that's what's usually involved in isekai-romance stories. But she's clearly not in a stereotypical romance story... so why does she still keep on applying that logic?
I can understand the everything not feeling real and not really registering that the people around you are real, or that you're in danger of dying, but she's so chill and also so good at shooting somehow that it's a bit exasperating.
TLDR, MC is understandably stupid... until she continues to be stupid without an excuse, and is so quirky and simple that she's also somehow OP. Good concept, mediocre follow through.
Only comment here stating facts
Honestly, saw the cover and thought it would be erotica. Pleasantly surprised by this hilarious comic that doesn't take itself seriously at all, but also seems to have a genuinely good plot and worldbuilding.
And also, MC has big tits. Nice!
THE END SURPRISED ME, NO WONDER YOUR COMMENT IS TITLED TITS…
I get him looking like a child in his dream. It made sense. Then he turned back to an adult... except not really? He's been shrinking
The showering scene literally looked like a grown man cleaning a kid and that's gross.
I think I'm going to drop. Not for me anymore, I' not a nonce lol
I'm just gonna wait for the official translation to come out and buy it. I... I can't, you know?
Ikr the last few chapters translation are edgy af
Crim is my bisexual icon. And I mean -sex- as both sexual orientation and biological sex. Also his story and how it relates to the worldbuilding is cool :3
