but I'm glad he has backbone. Nothing is more sad than an mc in these positions who then are like "Ok dad i'll still give you money" like that other story I read it's not the child fault but like damn don't still pay that bastard. Anyway, I hope things start looking up for Yeomin cause them sex scenes are type painful. Idk how I got through Dangerous Convenience when I cringe seeing that third leg butcher a twink
Duke is cringey but he really puts into perspective how dog eat dog this awakened world is. From the jump, his master took on someone who would betray their own family, classmates and even kill/mortally wound them. And he saw the obsessive evil in Duke but never once confronted him. Even Royst only pretended to look after him, he just belittled Duke whenever he got the chance. The other top ten only look upon the situation, but none of these powerful people ever actually say anything. They don’t care as long as the apprentice is useful. The only ones who did actually talk to Duke were the evil guys trying to use him & bait him with promises of power. It’s insane how he can be a bad apple and still really a pawn on a fucked up board. If he dies, another apple will take his place because the whole barrel is rotten.
Like Kayden says, Jiwoo is the weird one for having awakened friends and a moral compass. The rest of this awakened world is monstrous. Jiwoo has all these powerful babysitters, but if any of the stronger assassins really wanted to take him out for the plot, I don’t see why they couldn’t while he’s on a walk. They just probably don’t have a strong enough reason to (given that it’d seal their fates). But what if there was another unaffiliated psycho that didn’t have ties to an organization…
Yh it's sad. They're all perpetuating the cycle instead of trying to change it.
You're so right...
