They missed the golden opportunity to give all the daggers names in alliteration. "Conversation," "compromise," and "coercion."
Why do "persuasion" instead man, "coercion" works so much better and has basically the same meaning. And then her dagger would fully fit in instead of being the outcast that doesn't start with a "c." If this was a choice solely by the translators I am begging on my hands and knees that they change it.
Every time they mention the daggers from now on, I will think of what could have been (• ‿ ,•)

Ok I just reread this and personally, I don't have a problem with the sex scene(s) existing. From the spoilers I've read, I understand that this retcon actually helps explain/set up something they need to do (not going into it bc I don't wanna spoil either). I only have one (1) problem with them, and that's the exact chapters they are, or more specifically, the tone of the story in the surrounding chapters.
It goes from super-serious conversation about someone's trauma to wet dream then back to super-serious (w/ kimchi stew break) then back to wet dream. It's not that it gives me whiplash or something, it's that the location of them feels a little... idk, tone deaf? Placing it where they did feels like dangling keys in front of a baby like "nonono don't drop this bc it's super heavy rn!! We have hot sex too!" Or at least that sentiment applies to Kwon Jihan's dream. At least with Seo Yoon's pov they showed more of the potential story effect in the text boxes by him realizing that he'll live long enough after the dungeon to, ahem, experience a stallion.
If the gaia dream device thing (I forget it's name) occurred after he explained everything or before he did, it would've honestly been 100% fine. I am just kinda unsatisfied with the placement (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Okay I'm getting off my soapbox now lol. I know a lot of people have talked about this over the past 2 months, but I haven't read a comment that articulates my exact feelings so that's why I posted this anywaysヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
What do you guys think? Happy reading everyone!

Why did they just leave the saintess's clothes on the couch and not hide it or something? Why were they surprised that it got Albon on their case? I guess they were too panicked to think about it ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Anyways, I love this story so much and I hope Alban died due to that head injury and isn't just concussed :3

Idk about you guys but the new art style has really grown on me. The artist has definitely gotten more comfortable in the later chapters and it's so unique. It fits the story so well. I do miss the old art but I am very VERY content with this one.
Anyways this is all to say that if you've gotten even just one down vote on a comment criticizing the art style I guarantee that it's me. I will be defending this artist till my grave. You guys just gotta be grateful we are still getting updates because I have seen far too many amazing comics get completely dropped once the artist leaves (for health or contract reasons or whatever). Plus, plenty of comics have it way worse—at least this artist has put their best effort in replicating the original.
And also as a person who once tried to make a comic, it is fucking hard to draw scenes as dynamic as this artist. They're doing a great job and I'm tired of seeing everyone say otherwise. Idgaf if I'm the only person here who has this opinion, I will die on this hill (︶︿︶)=凸
Anyways this chapter was great as always, ily author and artist ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Shuden you're killing me. You know the dude's a poison master and when you wife faints after being grazed by his knife, you wonder if it was from shock??? And you're mad that all the physicians can't figure out why she fainted??? Has the thought that she was poisoned not even crossed your mind? I love this series, but man I feel like the characters keep getting dumber. It's like once Alban held his coup, the author gave up.
Sorry for the negativity in the comment section. This is just driving me crazy ( ̄∇ ̄")
ML doesn't even recognize the guy, and if the doctors can't find anything wrong why can he, that's how unique the poison was
and for all he knows FL could had been cursed instead, his not an all knowing
Okay you're right about the whole recognizing thing. Reread the previous chapters and I realized I mistook the guy they read the report to as Shuden, but it's actually some person working at the palace who looks nothing like him. Idk how I messed that up ( ̄∇ ̄")
Either way, I still stand by the point that he should've thought about poison if someone falls unconscious from a small cut. He's fought in wars too, so it's not like he's never had the opportunity to see someone get poisoned. It's wild to just think they were shocked, especially when it's someone as strong-willed as Valia.
I don't expect them to know the poison, but the fact that no one has even guessed it was poisoning is wild to me. Or even a curse like you suggested.
And yeah he's not all knowing, it just irked me because it's truly a simple suspicion. I bet if I did a survey of just that scene of her getting attacked and fainting, a vast majority of the participants would think the dagger was laced.
Also I started writing that comment that before ch116 was posted, so my concern about Shuden is now midigated. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
(I still stand by the fact that the characters are slowly getting dumber, tho)
In ch116, the priests are told by Shuden that she was poisoned by a poison master. So he either drew that conclusion between chapters, or he did so during ch115 and the author just withheld that information to add a suspenseful cliffhanger.
Thanks for pointing out my error in a non-argumentative way!
