Ok I've done some research about what does sisyphus mean, so according to mr. Google, its a mythology about punishing Sisyphus by making him immortal and giving him a task which is rolling a boulder for eternity in the underworld, he is known to be cunning and trickster for cheating death as to why the gods punishes him. So what if they're in hell and guwon is the "hound" or guarding them.

omg im literally doing the same thing haha!!
but i was thinking this might be related to sisyphus before he got the punishment from the gods
there is a story wherein sisyphus tricked hades something about the chain (maybe same chain/ring that was given by guwon) that disrupted hades from guiding the souls to the underworld.
so maybe guwon is some kind of form of hades and teacher is sisyphus
i dunno just want to share some theories hehe

sisyphus actually tricked thanatos (god of death) with the chains, not hades (god of hells) but yeah the theories are so interesting.
since guwon is the one who gifted the chain to the teacher i’m thinking that he may be the allegory for sisiphus, tricking the teacher. but then again the teacher escaped death too just like sisyphus…
i guess we’ll have to wait to know more (and sorry if my sentences aren’t that good, english isn’t my first language)

Ooh thanks for the correction!
Someone also commented that the ring might be related to Dante's inferno and they currently in hell. I think that really checks out because and as I mentioned in their comment, in ch 1, guwon welcomed the teacher and called their place as the other side of hell
Also when the town doctor explained the place to the teacher (ch2), he drew the place as circular and described the place like a pyramid. Kinda similar to dante's circles of hell

Ok soo I've read this a long ago and I've stopped because of the 2nd couple (tho I'm not sure if they're the 2nd couple) - the boy who went to dif uni; i think, has something going on with the "girl" coach.. and he's acting kinda susss and thats why i stopped reading because my heart can't take it (tho I'm not sure how it turns out because its still ongoing that time)
Does their story (2nd couple) worth it?? Pleasee tell me yes or nooo

Owemjii i love the plott. It's like- like sylhan who knows nothing, the readers also don't know anything... that's why it's "slow" for us, because sylhan still doesn't remember. And if he slowly remembers something then the readers and the mc can bring pieces together. I love how the author connect sylhan and the readers POV. (Tho, i know that this is what it really is, but a lot of stories are 3rd person POV, so its just amazes me how we can'tgrasp what's happening)
Guwonn you're hard to readdddd. Everybody's suspicious from the previous chapter and now thisss
