The first 50ish chapters were great- super cute, beautiful art style, etc. Then we hit like ch. 55 or sum and it gets super rushed and all of a sudden we are jumping into a battle that seems outta nowhere and then a proposal. Isnt she like not even 15??? If this story took place over the span of years, it didnt seem like it. I feel like the author was forced to cut the story down or sum bc the pacing was fine til the last 10ish chapters. Dang. Still an enjoyable read. Art style was super cute too
Im on ch. 15 and i know this is bl but i thought it was shounen ai and got jumpscared by the friends ass
Not complaining or anything bc i read everything but i was not expecting that at all hehe..
Wait if there was ass, is there gonna be smut?? Probably, but i didnt see the tag so i guess ill find out ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Kim dokja you cant be that fucking dense. Whats so funny to me is
1. They have the same outfit on like you dont notice how similar they are whatever but the exact same fit too (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ come on kim dokja. You noticed his boots were dirty but not that the punisher was wearing the same thing ughh (its ok my dense queen. We love you anyways)
2. In the novel kim dokja describes everyones appearance in just a couple lines but when describing both the punisher and yoo joonghyuk, he goes into explicit detail about their appearance like he really is down bad only for yoo joonghyuk and that one dress. Throw em together and you know kim dokja would die from ecstasy. Heres an old reddit post they talk about every time a character mentions yjh apperance and the ammount of times kim dokja mentions yoo joonghyuk is insane https://www.reddit.com/r/OmniscientReader/comments/oya572/lets_all_appreciate_yoo_joonghyuks_beautiful_face/
The punishers description kdj gve in the novel:
It was a face that seemed to be on a different dimension from the world around it. I watched the woman’s waist-long hair flapping in the wind and moved slowly in great shock.
…Was there such a figure in Ways of Survival? All of a sudden, the meaning of every praise word became clear.
Deep sultry eyes were set beneath neat eyebrows. All the standards that determined beauty in the world were collapsed at the same time. It was a face that couldn’t be described using the modifiers of a constellation. To my chagrin, there was only one way to express this face.
「 There was no doubt it was a beauty that would slap Yoo Jonghyuk on the cheeks three times. 」
There wasn’t such an expression in Ways of Survival. In Ways of Survival, Jang Hayoung was at most described as ‘two slaps on the cheeks.’ I was stunned with shock while the person who would slap Yoo Jonghyuk twice whispered, “She came. That person is the punisher.”
Description of yoo joonghyuk kim dokja gave:
Eyebrows seemingly drawn by a single, uninterrupted stroke of a famed artist's brush; a nose and a chin shaped in perfect angles that defied attempts to measure them through mere devices of men; a pair of deep eyes seemingly carved out of a beautiful jewel containing all the misfortunes found in this world.
3. They cut it out of the manhwa but in the novel
“Will she come tomorrow?”
I hadn’t been able to figure out her swordsmanship but she would definitely be a great help in the Demon King Selection. By the way, where did this person come from? She wasn’t in the original Ways of Survival…
“She comes every day so she will probably come tomorrow. Were you fascinated by her?”
“It’s not like that.”
“I’m joking, I’m joking. I know. You don’t like girls.”
“…Who said that?”
Where did such a rumour…
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is looking at you.]
…I think I knew where the rumour came from.
“It has been a while, Uriel.”











Wow. I absolutely hated that ending. That was a terrible way to end this story. The story was so beautiful until they crossed the bridge, thats when the story started stabbing me. Yeah, just stick the knife in and twist why dontcha? Why mishiii whyyy??? My beautiful babies it was so sad i rarely cry over endings but it was just so sad and beautiful. I love how the ending fit the story but i really wanted it to be a happy ending no tears maybe theyd find a way for dam to save the world and grow old with mishi or something idk but instead they stuck with the best ending that fit the story (no matter how it ended i prob woulda cried either way) I bet they chose to write this to see how many people would cry by the end >:( Peak story. Def in my top fav art styles in manhwa. But i wont forgive author-nim (or translator-nim, you were just as responsible) for making the ending bittersweet and the tears i shed
This story has always been in my top 10 manhwa (i started reading this in 2021, its been 5 years since i started reading bro and its so sad to see it finally over) ill never recover
Ist okay bro, u can go through the 5 stages
