OH MEIN GOTT BRO i remember finding this manhwa back in like 2023 and immediately falling in love with it, it genuinely had me like giggling and my heart racing like it was everything i’d ever wanted in a bl ngl… like the art was absolutely beautiful the genres were all my favs there was a perfect balance between romance and world building and all the other lore and oh my god i’ve genuinely been thinking about this ever since. like idk i was (AND AM) such a glazer id held it in such high regard for like years, my mind kept going back to it even after months and months and even after i figured out it’d probably never get updated again i js couldnt help but come back here for updates or to re-read again, it was the first time i’d been so like . eager abt a manhwa ig . like usually if a manhwa i rlly like doesnt update ever i lowkey dont realise or dont rlly care outside of mild dissapointment, but i just could not forget about this one, like i just couldnt stop hoping and hoping that it would come back ╥﹏╥ but even when it didnt js the first season was great enough to keep me coming back
and im like not a novel reader at all, ive never read the novel version of ANy manhwa no matter how much i love it or how many people say oh the novels sm better, but idk this ones just an exception to everything i guess. i remember in like 2024 when i was back for another re-read, somebody had linked the translation to the official novel of this, i’d reluctantly clicked on it and saw the translation was (no offence) not understandable, sighed very sadly, and closed it up . that alone was a deviance from my usual way the only novel links ive even clicked on are that and an orv novel translation link (which i didnt end up reading in the end) but when i was back here like a week ago or smth i found the link to an official translation site where this story was fully published, and bro i just couldnt stop myself . i didnt think i’d actually read it past like the first chapter im ngl, esp cs u had to pay after the first 3 and i couldnt even sit through a novel if it was FREE, but what did i tell you this manhwa, or just this story, is highkey my soulmate because i just could not stop like i kept scrolling and scrolling and even the paywall didnt stop me bro, 3 chapters is not a lot mind u but those immediately hooked me in all over again and like idk the novel had sm details the manhwa didnt like even after all my re-reads i hadnt been able to see everything as clearly as the novel painted it for me as, and then my deep feelings of longing for this story kicked in and i just made an account on the spot and started reading, and ive just been spending money and wasting all my class periods (exam week mind you) locked in on this novel, and i think i fell in love all over again like this is like those manhwas where they meet their 1st love after sm time but nothings changed at all, and maybe its even better
after like $30 spent on this im telling you i have never been happier with a purchase, and im like a stingy bitch mind u , i love louison anc carlton so much oh my god i love everything about this and the novel was so amazing it provided sm insight and evem after all my re-reads my anticipation for what would come next couldnt be extinguished and it was such a refreshing read it was like . enlightening . omg im so deadass. AND BROO dont get me started on when i stared reading the parts that didnt recieve the manhwa adaptation, the story stayed consistently well written and everything just fell into place and oh my god they had so much chemistry every random side character was lovable and i fell inlove with the world in here so much more thaem i had when i’d hysr read the manhwa
OK NOVEL SPOILERS FROM HERE
UGHJJJJ BRO IDK HOW IM JS STUPID ASF LIKE I SWEAR THe manhwa didnt make it AS clear that carlton was the one armed pilgrim so i could like ignore it but bro as soon as itv started coking up in the novel OUUUU everything was js so omg. ALSO the one sided misunderstood beef c arlton had with the ducal vassals fmued SOOO bad like bro they wopuld kms for louison they spoiled tf out of him and he js been believing for months that theybwere abusive ouuuu my god .. that was so funny . ALSO SPEAKING OF CALRLTON I LOVE HIM SO MUCH DUDE THE DIFFERENCE IN WHO HE STARTED OFF aS VS WHO HE WAS AND WHO HE BECAME AT THE END OF THE ETORY which also stands for LOIUSONNLIKE they both developed son beauyifuly esp lousion cs this wasnt one of those stories where like he isekaied from a different world, that was his life from the strat and YES he had done all those bad and stupid things in the past which js made his character sm more nuanced like sighhhh . anyways my favorite part/arc of this manhwa was definitely one hundred thousand percent when they were travelling to the capital, when louison was disguised as a pilgrim and carlton his mercenary, their adventures and all their moments together and all the lore being revealed and all the new characters and the way theygrew closer together by overcoming challenges together was just so beautiful i was enjoying myself so damn much reading allat like . esp when theyd js be camping outside in the wilderness, when there was sm uncertainty and they rllly oly had eachother, it js felt so UUUGHJ but in the good way yk omg .esp like the figtht with the huge caterpillars and the ship where they met morrison (dada) and oh yeah i loved that ship and i loved that caterpillar town i loved it so much . i loved whencarlton reunited with zephys everything about that arc is so so so dear to me, liek i get they had to come back and achieve all that they deserved but i wouldnt complain a single bit about the rest of the novel being just the adventuring and drifting from place to place and egventuallly growing old and dying side by side in a small shackm where they’d decided to settle a few years prior when their bones had grown too old to support their wanderer ways
okphew AKLSO MAYBE UNPOPULAR OPINION but oh. my god. I fucking loved ruger and hs storyliene SOOOO MUCH ┗( T﹏T )┛I LOVED HIM TJAT WAS MY BB IDGAFFF fawkk like i know he was weong for what he did but u fant help but fel bad for him you cant help but love him . unpopular-er opinion idgaf that he was a spy because man i saw sm of myself in him i wouldve done the same shit he did, and the way he ended up made me so so so incredibly sad, like it fit dont get me wrong i agree that that was the best way that they couldve taken it, but i so wished we couldve seen him being loud and annoying and loud beside lousion and the rest at the end . when they explained what made a death knight and how he’d stayed watching loiuson even after he’d died IN BOTH TIMELINES. LIKE the knight loiuson believed had been haunting him being the one who logvbnedhim and couldve bring to let him go in the first timeline…. that same death knight doing the same in the second life… dying for him in both timelines…. despite having worked his whole life for things that went against loiuson and required him dead… him choosing dying for love in both timelines…… he was a good person bro. I HOPE COUNT DOUBLESS IS GETTING WHIPPED WITH A WHIP OF FIrE AND THEN SALT IN HELL DUDE OMFG I WISH THE WORST ON HIM ANDN NOT EvEn CS OF LOIUSON AND THEM MOSTLY FOR RUGER BROOOO
when carlton said “js pretend ur talking to ruger and not thr death knight” it made me so sad too guys they kept referrring to him as the death knight BUT THATS LITERLLY RUGER BRO THATS RUGERR ….. i hated what his end was no matter how much sense it made . or like it just made me really sadis a better way to put it oh fawk im forever mourning u ruger i wish they’d gone into so much more detail about you i wish there was a few side story episodes dedicated solely to him and how he;d lived and died, that would atleats give me some closure . like we rlly had side stories about god blessing 2 men with their own children from LITERALLY HEAVEN but we camnt get deeper delvings into ruger oh oh alr Ok
I think im gonna end it here because im gonna keep going forever and ever if i dont stop now. this is my soulmate. when i die ask the author to sign a photocard of the cover and put it in my grave in me. when i die sign petitions for a ruger side story and read it to be at my grave. when i die put a hardcopy ver of this in here with me. I love this stjory so much im surprised my love didnt waver over the years, but now that its made it this far i hope it never does OK BYEK this rant was mostly j for me to come back and smile at in like another 3 years but wtvwtv
