pluckaduck's manga / #War(5)

ch 38. ei sei rallied up the soldiers. it seems the tide is changing but puffer lips guy is planning something. shin and his group reach the throne room where they are tasked to kill ei sei's half-bro but now they must overcome ranka, this huge brutal monster of a human abomination. also, the puffer lips guy is creepy af. also, mountain tribe leader is hot af. i thought it was obvious ten was a female. 67. jesus christ puffer lips is as creepy as ever 100. i have no words. this is just epic. everything wraps up so nicely and sets the stage for the next arc, we have various interesting main charas, great storytelling that isn't forced, builds suspense, and makes worldbuilding or plot easier to follow. the only con would be the art, but that's a personal preference ig. ch 129. goddam that is a brilliant strategy. first, send out the left army to attack, so the zhao general will be deceived into dispatching out their left flank to counter. thus allowing shin's 100-man squad to infiltrate from that particular less defensive side to the army base where the zhao general is protected. yes, that left army was a ruse, a sacrifice. however, once the zhao enemy figured it out, and tried to retreat, behind them is an illusion of an overwhelmingly large qin army about to flank them. he only has 300~ men with him. by this time, what's left of the qin army had broken through and surrounded them. and finally, the arrow, shin breaks thru as well and kills the zhao general in one strike.

i dont understand tho, why did the homeless man try to rape the girl once he saw the fireflies? she and the boy were eating and cooking the flesh of human corpses. ...I hope the two never lose the light in their eyes. ch 14. the art is amazing, I've never seen a manhwa convey so much hopelessness toward death, despair, tragedy, and sorrow in a backstory. you really can't help but cry for all the characters. it was this backstory that explains why the little girl hadn't forsaken her humanity ch 17. what the actual fuck. it really does send a message tho. death doesnt wait for you to obtain happiness, it'll take u away so quickly and unexpectedly.

it's a bit confusing, and you as the reader really have to draw conclusions on your own. ch 6. so black-hair, despite knowing hisar(?) could be forced into allowing the revolt, used this chance to let the visars understand that the shadows of war is close upon them. whether hisar is innocent or not, he did not care, and went over to his province to suppress the uprising, but it turns out that the enemy empire's army, which exceeds his numbers, was behind him. if black-hair tried to suppress the revolters (the arabas), their fellow clansmen outside will def not stand for this, and so this would allow a chance for the empire to intervene with a just cause. i think. ch. 19. solid plot without any contrived tropes. it's all about politics and the greater benefits before friends and stuff- basically nationalism. it's no coincidence that suleyman bey looks like the older version of mc, he's the more mature version who traveled and is actually competent (not to say mc isn't, but he is still naive in world politics). ch 25. i cant deny it any longer...... im not entirely sure what's going on. all i know is that the political opponent is wayyy intelligent.
