The name of this is called Hounds of Sisyphus
Now the original king Sisyphus in Greek mythology was a ruler of a kingdom called Ephyra; a small kingdom which he actually built into a very impressive empire, King Sisyphus was also a cunning ruler, and also was known for killing travelers/ visitors to asset dominance to his people, full of deceit, and as such was even able to deceive death so he was in a way immortal, as punishment to his cunning ways Zeus made him push a rolling boulder all the rest of his days, which is why he’s famously known for the rolling stone story.
Now here’s my take on Guwon
I think tying all this to the original story he is definitely immortal of some sort, he is also quite cunning and sly, and he’s more like Frankenstein monster; in some ways he’s intelligent but in some other way he is quite child like, I like how the author is incorporating the old stories of king Sisyphus into Guwons character, like killing the undead people aka travelers to show teach how scary and dangerous he can be. He mentioned the boulder which is also something king Sisyphus is tied to and also he’s an immortal, which king Sisyphus is also. So that part is sure, but for the other part of the story i guess we’ll have to wait and see what the author has in store for us.
Yessss I think the Imortal part might be also tied to him possibly being undead but a sort of very intelligent one with no memories of its past !
ok literary analysis queen pop off
Thank you for the lesson, sensei
true, but the name 'hounds of sisyphus' comes from an anne rice book about cleopatra and ramses who were resurrected by an anciet elixir. the term refers to some damned dog creatures that were fed the elixir, which made them unhinged, hungry, monstrous.
Ahh I see, I also have seen that but somehow I’m leaning towards King Sisyphus because Guwon mentioned that boulder and he just seems to be a more modern version of what I think King Sisyphus would be like, cunning but innocent in a way.
You’re welcome bestie
you’re far too kind
Yes much like Frankenstein
He’s so Frankenstein esp with his innocence
yes yes, that makes sense + the term from anne rice originates from the myth about sisyphus anyway, so it's just another eye of the chain
I think the town is a metaphor for the boulder. Guwon lives at the top and the town which is repenting the boulder will always be at the bottom. We know that there has been at least one incident before the mc's arrival. The incidents represent the boulder rolling down the hill against Sisyphis's efforts. Thats why Guwon is so dead set on protecting the town even though it's probably hopeless (until mc comes along?). I'm speculating that Guwon's love will change the trajectory of events and will end the cycle. Or be the cure to the zombie problem.
Oh, that's a good theory.
Maybe the boulder could even be the zombies themselves? BC no matter how many he kills, more will continue to come and try to attack his "kingdom"
I can't wait for more chapters to see what's in store
Am I the only one seeing these characters look like Matthew and Shin from Green light
But like in a different universe……like hellooo people
I like their relationship….. I like how Shin is very domineering and doesn’t get pushed around but is also quite reasonable and isn’t fool-hardy just to prove a point and although he needs saving it isn’t because he intentionally put himself in harms way just to rile Jay up, seen too many bottoms do the most fool hardy shit …..all in all 100/10, I’ll take 14 of it…..
Say what you want but the plot isn’t progressing or as promising as before and the story line has been forgotten by most, but oh well.The plot i feel needs to be balanced off with the sex scenes, so we don’t forget what the main story is about which in this case I can’t remember, it may also be the upload times too, or the sex scenes being too drawn out but oh well…..
Sheesh, a little introduction won’t hurt bruh just went on humping on his ass real quick, don’t they give introductions from wherever you’re from.
Rubbish!!!! Should have stopped reading the first hour ago, eww dropped
u should of stopped when 1st ml was r*ping him>
Am I the only that’s worried at how frail Andrew is starting to look, not physically but like it seems the more we delve into the chapters the more I see beyond his bravado and his eyes hold a certain shade of sadness like he’s never fully there…….like if you don’t watch him close enough he’ll simply drift off like air…..I think it may just be me being too sensitive or something, but I know I’m kinda troubled by that look. I wish to avoid any heartbreak of misunderstanding scene please.
Kind of get you. Part of me thinks he's getting obssess and i think we'll have a dark phase of this story like that one manga where the ml lied about not having any experience just to get to the MC then became obsess and controlling. Because it's Andrew's 1st time of having someone who cares for him, he wants to have all of Luke to himself. Goodness! The kid even hurt himself just to get his attention.
Part of me is also thinking and a bit scared that Andrew seems lost. It felt like his strong facade that he had cultivated for how many yrs is crumbling. Im scared of him getting hurt again. He seems to give up everything jist for Luke. :( man i dont know how to express this in words but i hope you know what I mean
+Like he's so fragile yet dangeroues at the same time.
