I think people are misunderstanding his concerns. He doesn't regret killing the woman, outside of the fact it was his first "player" murder. The player deserved it in that situation. What MC is considered about is that he almost let the bear guy die. If misha (fox lady) wasn't there, he would have let the bear guy die for the profits. And that's what he was worried about. That he'd get so cold blooded to let someone innocent die in the name of earning all of bear guys loot. It was the perfect situation too, since bear guy was mortally wounded by a "plunderer" player, so if MC didn't step in with his potion, bear guy would have died and MC would have profited big time, getting enough money for the level 6 of his immortal seal. That's what he is hating himself for.
This series wouldn't be so infuriating if I could binge it... I know some people complain, but honestly I'm just a sucker for the "MC runaway" plotline. If anyone got any recs with more books like this (BG and BL both appreciated) especially when MCs situation is shit and honestly running away makes the most sense. I just hate it when they are caught so quickly.... Sigh
Oooooh!!! Lmao I actually read some of the novel about a month ago, but it was only for the topic that was covered in the most recent chapters, her coming of age ball. I then got very angry with how things turned out that I stopped and started waiting on the webtoon again XD thanks for the heads up!
I think people aren't reading between the lines on this. From MLs perspective, his relationship was getting better with MC, MC was starting to "open up" and "rely" on him more, but ML just realized, it was all because of the pregnancy hormones. Did MC even like him? Or was it just because MC was pregnant? That's what angered ML. He doesn't know what to believe anymore, and he can't take the rejection that might come if MC "finds out that his 'love' and 'clinginess' were just pregnancy symptoms". Or at least thats what I took from this chapter
Ooh I like that take too! Because he sees himself as someone who constantly hurts Euhyuin (which he has) but this is just one more hurt. It also uses the scene they showed earlier in the chapter, where Euhyuin doesn't care about a house or security or debt. They show him hugging his brother, so Taeju knows the importance Euhyuin places on family.... And Taeju is once again "responsible" for the "death" of Euhyuin's child... But there's all these complex emotions shown in the artwork and not in the dialogue, and most comments I've seen focus on the surface level dialogue parts.
Like the end of this chapter Taeju is literally melting. He says to end things but he's falling apart, he's drowning. Why? There's so much going on that's all so complex. Emotions and thoughts that can't be easily explained in dialogue or thought bubbles. This story is actually full of little details in the art if you look closer, and I kinda love it
FR, this is a VERY WELL MADE AND WELL DRAWN Manhwa. That's one reason why I really love it and is reading it.
I just hope, Euhyuin fixes HIMSELF FIRST before he help fix Taeju. Cause He's literally shattered to dust now.
Based on the author's take on depression, I just hope that is not the case for the next scenes.
1st problem: Okay the heck is the tower game he was playing? I thought it was single player, but it has to be multiplayer. But multiplayer doesn't make sense in the context of him being the only one still playing it. His first major item he gets gathers and fuses skills... The hell are skills? If you are playing a game, do you pick your skills? But this is the real world and people seem to be assigned them like other gate type manhwa series. How can MC know the answer to all different types of fusions (like the contract fusion) if he was the only one still playing this game for YEARS!?! Where can he find other players to take their skills and fuse them? How did he do this testing in the game that was multiplayer, but he was the final player?
2nd problem: his confidence. Is this game virtual reality or a PC game? It seems to be a PC game based on the technology of the world, but it has to be a VR game for his level on confidence. The hell does it come from? Even Kim Dokja acted confident but really struggled to enact his plans because he is an office worker who has never worked out a day in his life. Even with MCs knowledge that doesn't equal skills to back it up. MC knows the attack patterns on the mobs, but if it was a PC game, just cuz you know how to beat a monster in a game doesn't mean you can easily defeat it in real life where it's your body and your muscles you now have to relay on. MC was established as broke, had to fast before large food intake, idk how he has the strength to reasonably accomplish this. Also his cheats make no sense if he was solo-ing this whole thing for the last idk 6 years (ik it's 11 years but I'm assuming there were still some people till about year 5 when the game should mostly be forgotten by now), especially since he had to recreate his character from scratch. That doesn't make sense if his skills are dependant on other players skills to copy and fuse?!?
Problem 3: dumbass side characters. That woman who got stuck in the labyrinth with MC at one chapter is like, we have to stay near him so that we can escape, and then the next chapter is like, help is coming in 3 days, let's kill him now. They still aren't gunna be able to escape.... Sigh. This is brain dead. MC is over confident and has physical skills that come out of his ass (will make sense if there was progression due to stats or something, but he defeated tree monster without any of that...). I just wish I had something else to read. I've read everything by now :')
This is a personal rant, I do appreciate civil discourse about the problems I've pointed out and how you see them differently or if you agree. I'm still gunna read because I eat trash unfortunately, and I've got nothing better to read rn. I'd appreciate recommendations if you got them. I just had to rant since it won't leave my mind till I write it down :/
I do agree with what u said, sometimes i think to myself this plot is real life and not based based on "game" anymore. I do sometimes think on how people don't consider him as a player who reached the 50th floor lol also i get confused with the plot js like u and the fusion and all. I know he was the1 to complete all the floors but why couldn't he had done what he did in reality on the time when it was js a vr game. Honestly this is a good manwha and all but it just gets confusing lol
The book ban arc put me into a physiological crisis. Idk why but the last 4 books I've read have all had issues where there is no easy clear answer, and where the choice MC made was right but also lead to so many consequences, which is where I see this going. but this author has such a great way to have very real world applicable discorse in such an intriguing way. That's one of the reasons I love this book
3 chapters for humanization is a new record.
really? i've read one where they did it the first chapter tho. i don't remember it's name but i'm sure it was in the first chapter
Ooooh do you remember the animal they were?
Are I sure it wasn't just a prologue
that i don't remember since i'm currently following over 1200 things of which all of them are uploading at random.
idk if it was the prologue
