stories that temporarily reset my personality and pov of reality on a metalvl for some reason

it's just,,,, this is the realest mc ive read about. like i would genuinely love to be his friend irl

EDIT: i reread this SO much and every time i do, i appreciate it more and more. it's genuinely one of the best plots i've read, and there's not a single supporting character that i do not genuinely like.

NO BUT ACTUALLY THIS INFLUENCED MY MUSIC TASTES SO MUCH I STAYED UP NIGHTS JUST OBSESSIVELY RESEARCHING JIMI HENDRIX

on webtoon, there's music and shit that REALLY adds to the atmosphere.

edit: also i think there's a lot of sentiment i had attached to this manhua, since i read it with my friend while trapped for like 7 hours on a tour bus in taiwan. u dont undersatnd i nearly had heatstroke while in the middle of reading ppl being hospitalized and i was as delusional as these limbo panels like i was seeing those shitty visualizations of heat in those whitewashed arabian films like aladdin

this,,, the characters fucked me over in so many ways i can't. this was the first manga i read where i cried in, but maybe it's bc i was a weak little bitch back then.

rewired me the way 'shiori experience' had. what is going on-

a literal cultural reset on me. also anything that gives representation to indigenous ppl of any land makes my frontal lobe light up so hard

i remember reading this as a kid and i literally could nOT find this again for years bc i couldn't remember anything past mr. edward scissorhands sitting in a box with kimono dororo talking to him, and i never found the remake until now and i litearlly was like "the story im thinking of reminds me of the plot of dororo, but it can't be bc the art is so different-"

bruh the character development that doesn't feel linear but fundamentally skewed bc the cast are full of shitheads? they're making me emotional over assholes. like??? god wakana and shouji were the most annoying to me at first, but now they're my favourites?? lmao

i literally binged up to 100 chapters of the novel in MTL which had the coherency of overwatered oatmeal, and all i gotta say is that this impacted my fucking SOUL with zero regards towards my affiliation with wanting to be a vaguely normal person

this is like,,, such a generic manhua style but the plot is also just not. this is fucking funny my guy

edit: i do NOT remember this manhwa at all what the FUCK is this i like litearlly do not even recognize this cover
