i let this marinate way tooo long that i finally read it again IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD. im not a fan of mixing stories like these with romance/harem etc but that romance arc was amazing. at first, i didn't know what to feel because it IS sudden but at the same time i never wanted to see them fuck so bad. like please just one scene;(
the sudden romance was perfect! starting from floor 20 we were already warned that it would shift genres from shifting to martial arts. when the romance world came, I didn't think it would literally become romance as well, but even then, the suddenness of it got me at the edge my seat literally anxious like where the hell is the plot going?? WHY IS THERE ROMANCE BUT GOD THAT WAS AMAZING. (raviel is so pretty too).
furthermore, what really sold me with that arc was because ive always thought regressors are so lonely like you're literally holding on to memories no one else remembers but you, you're fighting for them with that much sacrifice, and in this particular protagonist, he's subjected to so much trauma from other people (as shown in the martial arts world) and that's s lot of mental and emotional damage, literally how is bro still sane.
so happy bro is married.
Oh my god this is so real I WANT to read this but the romance aspect scares me so much because it gets done wrongly so often in these types of stories but this gave me the conformation that it IS good so thank you !! But off topic do you know any other stories where its a similar concept like dungeon or action but without romance or like where the romance is good?
i feel a sense of responsibility because of this reply i PERSONALLY think it's amazing but others feel the opposite and i understand but whatever, how i feel is whats important xD you might be disappointed and sorry for getting your hopes up i wish to yap more to justify why i love it but that's just tmi and unwanted spoilers, if u finished reading, let me know what u think!
for the latter part, i read this before albeit different concept than this manhwa (it's fairly popular so u mightve read this) https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/return_of_the_frozen_player/
well, if everyone else could play and CANT kill the killer while doha being the only one who can, then i think doha is the npc they needed to progress the game further. the cassette enables u to save memories hence "play" the game cause technically, everyone is playing, they just dont know it. also, what type of game ends once u collect all of the endings? doesn't that just mean it will never end? cause iirc, bada's theory is that it'll end once he collects all the endings because actually escaping would just restart it anyway because it's just another ending. worse comes to worst, the good ole stuck in a loop, never ending, never leaving the game.
"okay freak" is so real
