002 is actually a tsundere but i love him so much. he cares so much for ijin without realizing. even despite everything, he still respects ijin the most out of everyone,, even despite their differences. and even during their fight, ijin still had complicit respect for them. they are actually brothers. always there to help him and have his back even though he's a traitor and the way 002 sometimes visits ijin, checking on him even though he calls him stupid each and every time. i hope that one day they can acknowledge how much they care for each other even if its something small.
all of the numbers are actually family im so devastated. they dont know how to show care for each other because they werent raised that way. none of the numbers know how to communicate so they do something even more important - show it with their actions. saving each other time and time again. same with ijin. hes only just realizing how important they are - they are family. he wants to do something for them, he trusts them enough to introduce them to his family. he just wants to spend time with them and eat fried chicken. he wants to show them the most important thing hes been taught: peace. because he wants the numbers to be as happy as him. he loves them so much.
no matter how much the numbers and especially 002 think that family and personal connection are "weaknesses",, they dont realize how much weakness they themselves already have. they already depend and trust each other so much. they're willing to sacrifice their own lives and safety to keep each other alive--even ijin who "betrayed" them at some point. theyre already willing to do something to protect their weaknesses--each other. definitely why they are so okay with ijin living safely with his family. they might not realize it, but they understand what its like to have a weakness. their care for each other is their weakness.
i think 003 plotline as a big threat is so captivating - the real betrayal of family or found family. for the numbers who have gone through thick and thin together, life and death battles,, even if one of their members are completely insane (lets be real, all of them are) they had rules. implicit trust. even ijin never broke them - but 003 did. how will the numbers react with their big battle with 003? how will 002 react? i think beyond everything, the numbers will cling to each other as family. and i love that for them. how could i not cry from that?
mercenary enrollment is such a gem that i will always enjoy reading

UGH THE NUMBERS ARE A FAMILY I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
good story first half missed opportunity in second half. feel like they couldve focused more on the stockholm syndrome and psychological aspect of it but there was just more and more sex just for funsies not for any effect,, when some psychological bls have the sex as the shock factor or to build the tension etc etc (which they did in the beginning, but quickly lost meaning)
either way still enjoyed it just wish it did more
so cool to know that even without nano, he still ended up as a successful cult leader/demon god!!! our capable mc!!
im so sad this story didn't get the full runtime it deserved this was one of my fav ongoing manhwas but at least it got a happy ending
makes me mad how some manhwas will drag for 100 chapters too many but this one didnt even get the chance to make it to 100 :(
usually mangas like these arent able to build up the emotion properly to such a heart-wrenching moment - what really is sacrifice and how much would you do for someone you truly love? would you be selfish or selfless? to be human would to be both: to love is to do both. shiro with his decision chose to be human.
im so glad the art quality never lowered, the dragons look fucking sick
i need Chris's old hair back its so ugly
also im so glad edwin is alive ;;
I've seen so many people complain about how this has become boring and lost the plot.
do i fully agree? Yes. 1000%. will i keep coming back? yes... and a lot of people complaining are also people that still come back
to readers: just enjoy the slop content without thinking too much about it theres so many other good manhwas in this genre that there is no reason to be dogging on a bad one... among the sea of other bad ones just drop this one
people complaining about the quality lowering: the studio probably lost budget and artists,, probably attempting to replicate the earlier artwork at a cheaper cost (why it looks so bad) ...but for another artist, the less of a budget is less of an incentive to translate the plot of the novel into something cohesive as a manhwa,, much less invest the time into art that isnt yours (assuming the original artist left)
unfortunately, this is extremely common in studios ^^ and atp we all know this manhwa has been falling off (in terms of quality) since near the beginning...
TLDR: if you dont enjoy it move on.
yes. this is bad and cliche. but thats why its entertaining. plenty of manhwas have the most mid plots like this but you people still read it bc it has good art. even if this doesnt, im still rooting for MC and her ML. i just wanted to comment b/c it hurts my heart always coming back to read this just to find more hate... like don't we already satirize other manhwas and admit we read them cuz they're bad? why not this one?
shouldve waited for this to marinate
insanely good, the father-son dynamic is so sweet, im so used to seeing murims where the sons want to kill their dad with a burning passion
