Wait, so was he stalking Chikara or not? Since he does have those pics…
No he wasn't really stalking him, he was gathering proof of the guy that assaulted them had been following Chikara for a while
Ohh i see, that explains the pics…
It’s hilarious that most of the readers are not even taking the conflict between KDJ and YJH seriously lmao. We only see a couples fight ╮(￣▽￣)╭. Seriously, they have way too much chemistry and...
Considering what’s to come, I’m even more looking forward to it!
Lol , some of us are novel readers so ofc we are not taking their obvious conflict in the beginning seriously
Hahahha I have joined the novel gang lol, finished that in 3 and a half days uwaaa....but personally I feel like its more of a love triangle.....but I want kdj and yjh chemistry moree
Lol me too ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
All the guys are so hot!!! But seriously, i ship Lai and Edwin the most. They have so much chemistry and that master-servant relationship is dangerously attractive. I’m not really liking that Lai seems to be falling for the prince so quickly. I wish i can see more of the scheming and tricks before it goes down. I just really have a thing for Edwin since i first saw him and even more since, with that controlling and cunning hotness.ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
As a novel reader, here’s my honest opinion. This is so shit. I get that they didn’t want to bore the readers and go round about but they skipped and changed so many details that make the series great. Especially when they changed it for the sake of fan service. First of all, the characterization of the mc. The artsyle is good but definitely does not fit the vibe of the novel. The mc looks like a pubescent teenager, a “kirito”, when originally, he’s supposed to be a tall, not quite buff, but mid 20s guy. If it’s a difference in preference or limitation in artsyle, okay i get that, but this pissed me off the most. They placed too much emphasis on Sooha. Because she’s a girl. As a potential love interest. For duck’s sake, she dies after like 5 chapters, the mc was never ever romantically interested. To begin with, the one who turned back to the waiting room was never even her! It was the old guy! They skipped all over the bonding and training, i can get, but they changed the whole point. Those three characters was the starting line, yes the mc felt a bond after the time together, but he was someone who is selfish. He was supposed to get over it pretty quickly, especially since he faces death against the arrows over and over again. He didn’t really though of them as he got over obstacles, IT WAS ALL FOR HIMSELF, for his own growth and survival. THAT was the whole point. He’s NOT supposed to be a shonen mc for god’s sake. He’s also supposed to be much more calculative and cautious, albeit displaying a gambling mentality sometimes. Throughout the whole training with the 3, he evaluates them and himself a lot. When he went into the 1st floor, he was so cautious, he maintained a tensed protective stance as he walked at turtles pace for a long time. He was not some reckless teenager just walking right into the trap when he knows it’s there. Also, something i deeply regret is when he was at death’s door due to the arrows, the whole very detailed description of his struggle, thoughts, and emotions are what made it phenomenal. But there was none here. I scrolled over the whole 1st floor in effing 5 minutes. It’s also supposed to display his gambler and adventurous side when he decided to just sprint over the final trap where he also almost died, but there’s none of that here either. He got over the boss room not because of some stupid nakama belief but because he was dying, his survival instincts kicked in, and he got into a zone which he then acquired a skill, okay none of that here either. They depicted him to be a way better person than he was meant to be. Here is a shonen mc with a bright look with a tinge of innocence, naivety, recklessness, and plenty of nakama powers. There is a loser, selfish, and arrogant adult with some smarts and gambler mentality within, who btw exhibits has a sense of dark humor too. I don’t have to tell you which one i would pick for the original mc. I honestly thinks that they did a shitty job of adapting this. If i have to say, this is the shonen version, the ‘fairy tail’ version. Not that there’s anything wrong with works like this but since it’s supposed to be faithful to the original work, this ain't it. How are they supposed to go through his later mentality changes and anthropomorphism problem in the later stages as he deals with not only the consequences of his powers, the pressure of his survival and floors, his social relationships on the breaking point, and his dissipating humanity? When the webtoon couldnt even get his initial characterization right? I’m sorely disappointed, and no one cares i know, but i get the right to say what i think. I have a lot of respect and love for this series, especially in the beginning(debatable for the later stages) that’s why I’m especially harsh towards this adaptation. Really, I’m not seeing anything that i love in the novel displayed in the webtoon. Except for the same name, this might as well be a different work. That might’ve worked out better, and I could’ve continued on with a piece of mind.
Oh wow. This is so detailed! Sounds amazing but is there romance in this? Cause romance always kills the action
Yes there is romance. Though I don’t absolutely agree that romance kills action, unfortunately it does happen often so i can see your worries but if it goes by the novel, the romance isn’t really big. There’s only one girl he has a long term relationship with but because of the nature of the tutorial, she isn’t really focused on much even when she’s a major character. Again, this story is all about the mc and his growth.
I don’t think romance kills action I think it’s jus they don’t know how to write good female leads I’ve only read a couple action books where they actually write good female characters (〜￣△￣)〜
I’m so happy someone else is frustrated about this as I am, they ruined one of my favourite novels
I’ll rant in your place lol
When I first saw this was adapted into a manhwa I was so excited but then I read it. The art is nice but after reading the actually light novel I was seriously disappointed, both character design and their ENTIRE personalities changed. Especially the protag. I would reccomend the light novel to people but not this manhwa.
they had a really good opportunity to take a different route than the typical shounen male protagonist. I wanted to see the desperation and fear in the mc’s eyes through the first few chapters
I agree! You basically neatly summarized my feelings about this. I too prefer the light novel over the manhwa
I wish they’d take that route but unfortunately we get what we get
Not to be rude but what’s with the reuploads? The new translation is good too but tbh the old one was a little bit better. I’m thankful though but still confused
Asura and mmscans both picked this up and released their translations maybe it's a fight here
Oh oof ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Holy! Is this My House of Horror!???? I’m so looking forward to it!!!! Chen Ge!!!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
It’s kind of weird that people have double standards for this. Remember that one omegaverse manga between a hs and a elementary kid? People said it’s a masterpiece and really popular and it’s way more sexual than this even then. Now, Shota Oni is only implicit in the romance and is just pretty much fluff and people are now bashing it for fetishizing pedophilia. Like really?? There’s so many manga out there where the leads would have a crush in childhood and then meet again(or continue being together) and continue the love after age. Nobody said anything then. This is just showing the process of it in detail, it’s not different. There’s so many age gaps manga out there from 1 year to even 20 years and more and nobody said a fucking thing. Idk. I think people’s making too much of a big deal about this.
At first I though wow, high school and elementary is such a big gap, but it turned out it was only 6 years so honestly this one is even bad
If anyone is wondering what omegaverse they are talking about it's this https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/sayonara_alpha/ I may have read that and didn't find it disgusting but never said they were wholesome.. I am glad that they waited before doing the actual thing but there was sexual stuff that happened before the HS waited for the elementary kid to graduate highschool
Personally the story was alright. It’s good but it’s definitely no masterpiece and not at the level of great. The plot was okay, it was too convenient at times. The pacing was good but the relationship development was wonky sometimes. I am especially skeptical of how fast the emperor fell. The characters were great though and the general is a favorite of mine. But the plot with the second guard was kind of weird and confusing so I couldn’t feel enough closure about him. The villain wasn’t anything special. I liked the empress plot twist though. Overall, it’s a good story but I’ve read better.
