Gahh this was such a good read!! Agonizing, tragic and gut wrenching! I loved how the author portrayed destiny and how one could never escape their destiny, every decision, every path they took to escape their destiny would lead them closer to their dreaded destiny. And fate, the MC could never escape his fate of becoming the Sura's lover. MC's life was doomed the moment Sura decided that he would be his lover. And the Sura loved him wholeheartedly, maddeningly and sickeningly for that was his, the God of War's, expression of love.
Aside from my opinion about this manhwa overall, Mujin is a disgusting, diabolical, manipulative, cruel, psychopathic and selfish filth. That's right, he's not pitiful, he does not deserve sympathy, he's just a filth that taints everything he touches. He does not deserve happiness.
I reread the story and realized how he never really loved Cho-Ah. All he wanted to do was to possess him -- his eyes, his body, his smile, his emotions, his fate and his will -- at any cost for the MC showed him kindness, loved him and promised to never abandon him. Thus, the God of War made sure that he kept his promise.
He never cared about his lover's well-being, opinion and his wishes so long as he was not abandoned. That's all there is to his acts of love.
There was never a 'true' remorse and regret in his actions. Just a display of such emotions to manipulate Cho-Ah not to abandon him. Even when the MC said he was hurting him when he raped him, he gaslighted him saying "I'm hurt too, you should console me." He would not tolerate the MC speaking a few words to anyone other than him and he would rape him regardless of the MC's wishes for his body was Sura's not his own anymore.
Soooooo, anyone saying Mujin is pitiful, that he only wanted to be happy, that the MC didn't try to understand him, that he desperately tried to defy his destiny, uhh NO THE FUCK NOT. When he murdered the little girl and ate him, a part of him was satisfied and revered in it deep down. Even if the MC understood him and accepted him, he would not have changed. He still would have murdered every precious person in MC's life should the MC not agree to him. And he would continue to gaslight, guilt-trip, manipulate, rape and torture him all the same should there be any defiance from the MC.
