For people saying, why would anyone care about that rumor. Its more like people would view the person as weird and as someone who mightve harassed another student. Honestly, rumors matter a lot for contestants on a show like this because most of them are just starting to build their own fanbase and viewers can easily switch to other contestants. Also, I like how they use social media in this, it's unobtrusive and feels accurate. The little fanarts and username are all cutesy. Can't wait to read more!
Also, a rumor like that sounds so absurd that not only does it stick in memory but also it's a kind of "why would they lie about that ? must be the truth" kind of rumor
And Asian countries and fandoms are so much more hardcore when it comes to rumors and scandals it's ridiculous
For people confused, theyre in a cultivation world and it's a common trope that in order for a cultivator (the main lead here) to break through to the next level or "ascend" they must pass heavenly tribulations bc most cultivators aim for immortality. This is usually in the form of lightning strikes. But anyways, the cultivator has to survive the strikes and once they do, they get rewards like body strengthening etc. So that's what the main lead is doing here! It's pretty funny to read world hopping novels like this because they're so meta and have a lot of references to chinese web novel tropes.
The art is sooo good. The thing I like about this manhwa is how even if we don't know much about a character, we can still see why people are voting for them. A lot of idol mnahwas tend to forget that it's not just about making the main character likeable, but also the people around them. Rarely is there just one contestant that stands out. Also, I love how Moondae used going around for the ads as a way to show how serious he was about it. Even fans don't go visiting around for all of them like that. It was interesting!
Cha Eugene is probably one of my favorites. Same with big Sejin. Love when they interact with moondae since they're so bright lol.
Love the theories that people are making. It always makes reading manhwa's like this fun. I genuinely think Doha doesn't remember anything past the first time because of the noodles but I do think he's used the time separated from Bada to find out more than him. I also agree that his obsessiveness (although it was helpful for Bada at one point) is going to prevent Bada from trying to find a way out. Because they really don't know what's outside of this game, whether there's an outside world or whether there are other "horror game loops." Either way, Doha doesn't seem to mind the situation or as eager as Bada to get out.
I think the same! And the reason why he knows more about the game is because he investigates more by himself after Bada is killed. He is strong enough to take out the killer and he just takes his time researching
True true, he's very smart and reliable which means he could've taken however much time he wanted because there's no active threat to him.
It's so funny how accurate this is lol. There's always the fans that start calling the fandom lazy and trying to figure out what to do. I've seen the exchanging coffee (or other food) for votes thing multiple times, as well as the number of ads. Even the memes they used are the same. I let out a laugh when I saw the edited puppy version of the soldier meme. But yeah, I think it's adorable how Moondae makes a point to be grateful for his fans since he's so stoic and the serious type.
It's cathartic to see Yohan finally cry and express himself in such a vulnerable way. He's been feeling like that for so long and the only time he cried was when he first met Jay. Some people have said this manhwa is too slow and boring because it doesn't focus on the romance enough. Personally, I think that's one of its strength. They fully give a lot of time and attention to Yohans mental state and his actual plans outside of romance. It doesn't feel like something extra they tacked on, it's intrinsic to the story and his recovery is tied to whether he accepts his own feelings towards Jay. I think they're romance on its own is compelling too though! I also love how they used acting to express who he is outwardly and internally. Jay being the one to modify the lines just shows a different level of empathy and understanding he has towards Yohan that hasn't been shown before. Definitely will be waiting for the next chapter!
Looking at the last few lines and how Yohan compares himself to the people around him, it's beautiful because it's a reflection over his own journey. Even small enjoyable moments are worth it and for Yohan who has probably lived years avoiding any of those moments due to guilt and most likely fear, it's probably the first time he's actually faced his feelings and emotions head on.
I like how blunt and nonchalant grandfell is compared to his inner thoughts lol. Nice to see a female character that has a deeper story too. It'll be interesting to see what she's really like. It really does seem like the author wants the mc surrounded by likeable characters (instead of just pieces of cardboard to gasp at his every move.) There's a lot of funny characters and it's hilarious to see them interact with eachother!
Excited to see where this goes! I think the design of the game is one of the best out of this trope in manhwa. It's one of the few that actually feels like it could be a game, which is good considering how much time the mc will be spending there (reminds me and others of maplestory). The character designs are cute and memorable, and the chat doesn't get in the way. The humor is also pretty good and it'll be interesting to see them interact more in real life.
I really like this manhwa. It was definitely more fun than I expected! I know some people weren't a fan of having the main character retain his personality but I think it allows for him to be funny and silly while still being really cool. Both sides are entertaining to see interact and respond to their environment. The side characters are also really fun and memorable ( I really like the guild leaders of gaon and berserker as well as the knights ). Can't wait to see more of them. It's also great that even though the mc finds the words Grandfell says cringy, Grandfell still comes off as cool to others because he backs up his words. They actually mean something. I'll definitely keep reading!
I know you guys think people are being dramatic, but from the perspective of other students, it makes sense why they thought the rumor was bad. Like, it's kind of clear they thought he was being perverted or creepy towards a girl. Though it's kind of obvious the original moondae was probably bullied and framed. Even with that, bullying in these schools is usually excessive. There's a reason bullying scandals are taken so seriously in Korea (especially for idols/actors). They're treated more like scandals because they tend to be more severe. Even if it's untrue, it can affect them a lot if enough people know about it.
