I'll eat my hat if Yu-seong doesn’t immediately pick up the fact Ji-hwan is lying.
They’ve been together too long for this type of misunderstanding to work.
If Yu-seong were to leave, my guess is that it would be because he understands that Ji-hwan was likely trying to protect him, and to prevent himself from being used as leverage, he’ll need to return to his family home for a bit.
Kinda had hoped the ML would be the first dullahan... (￣∇￣")
IDK, he seems like a real cutie patootie.
If they had found his head early on in the narrative, and that somehow led him to become somewhat human again, he might have had a shot. But since there are plans to stick all the dullahans in a subspace box, that pretty much squashes any hopes of him being even considered a love interest.
I'm tempted to think MC’s father was already an undead when Guwon came across them. We’ve seen before that the only time he immediately attacks something is when they’re an undead. With living people, he seems to spend a bit of time scoping out if they’re useful and worth keeping alive. This would explain why he’s so adamant about not having killed MC’s father, and stating that he hadn’t lied, but also hadn’t told the full story.
Another thing, because Guwon is fairly indifferent to killing, is incredibly strong, intimidating, and gets along well with the Hounds ( a trigger-happy group), I think a lot of characters wrongly assume he is a lot more violent than he actually is. He seems like a utilitarian. In a post-apocalyptic world, where those who are not useful are either deadweight or pose a threat to stabbing you in the back later on, only keeping “useful” people alive might seem rational. Overall, he hasn’t been shown to be all that eager to kill people. He spent time looking for a reason to keep MC alive when they first met, described killing the vet’s family as a shame, and gave in when the vet said the girl was needed as an assistant. Compared to the Hounds, who seem to be itching for a reason to kill people, it seems like a mildly bothersome chore for Guwon.
You summarized this up so well
100% agree, you said it way better than I could
Yasss
i find it really interesting that people tend to forget that this is a post apocalyptic dark story and look at it from just one angle (aka good and bad) like yeah sure there's no way this would have a "happy ending" but it's still too early to judge the characters, though so far guwon IS bad if we're working with a normal moral compass
Idk if it's a lack of reading comprehension or a lack of story permanence
I've been defending guwon's ass saying he has a split personality or something i just hope i don't get extremely embarrassed and guwon really turns out to be a black flag with zero explanation as to why he killed those family members lmao that'd really suck because i expected a lenient gangster considering the author's previous work
I would hope for the entegrity of writing alone that Guwon has more depth than just "evil bad guy", or every literary enjoyer is going to feel like an absolute caked ass clown
Putting my faith in the fact that this doesn't have a tragedy tag
Bada gotta make it out ( • - • )و
Lowkey, this is an interesting exploration of the concept of gender dysphoria, but with secondary genders.
Also, a lot omegaverse romance will have the couple proclaim they'd still love each other the same, even if they weren’t an Alpha/omega (only time actually believed that was with an omega x omega couple). But this is often framed as being the purest form of love. I think for straight cis women, because it feels so common to be reduced from being a whole person down to just a pair of tits and vagina, being told you’re loved regardless of your gender sounds incredibly romantic. Ex: “would you love me if I was a worm?” lol. But I think for a lot of queer relationships, our gender being part of the equation, doesn’t carry that same negative connotation.
I was literally thinking the same thing
Just throwing my two cents in on Seong Su health predicament, but my main guess is that it’s a chronic side effect of some drug that the cult is abusing, which had been propped up as some miracle cure. If the pharmaceutical company noticed one of their products is being bought up at suspicious levels on a tiny island, they’d probably want to check that out. Cults abusing drugs is fairly textbook, and numerous medications can damage the immune system when done without a doctor’s guidance. Either the drug was being used as a catchall, or more specifically, being used to treat “degeneracy”.
Alternatively, Seong Su could be dealing with chronic symptoms of an STI, transmitted from the rapist pastor. Given the time period, the particular fear of penetration, and his weak immune system, I immediately thought of HIV. But I doubt the syringes are for treatment, since antiretrovirals are given orally, and it doesn't make thematic sense to include that in the flashback. Instead, the syringes could have contained a sedative, ei date-rape drugs.
We got a Fantasy tag, but not a Psychological tag. Unless there's been a tagging error, maybe whatever's going on with Ho-su can't be explained by the DSM-5 (╭ರ_•)
Starting reading this, thinking it was completed. Get to the end of Chapter 10 and find out it just hasn't been updated in 5 months (╥﹏╥)
Last few panels, ML is giving serious Hisoka vibes
Do ya'll see it too? The lean, the hair, the tongue, the lusting over an MC who was definitely created less than 18 years ago
HELLO? YOU WRONG FOR THAT
Was he created less than 18 years ago? My first thought was that they met when ml was a jit and mc was still in the form he is today. But thats just my guess
