Dude if the last chapter of the side stories and the entire thing was them showing taesun old and dying and he passes on with geumryang looking the same as now… I would sob bro no joke, I love sad endings but not for this one this one would fucking tear me up after this whole sweet journey let me keep this fluff WHY DO WE HAVE ANGST BRO PLEASE IM BEGGING NO
Yo we got like a few little tidbits on their backstory together their relationship is gonna affect how the story plays out so why complain so much? We don’t even know their full relationship and it didn’t go into a whole detailed backstory, I would understand if it took up a bunch of chapters like eternal convenant with a crap ton featuring the Mc past life but no we have 1 chapter and people are acting like it’s the end of the world. chillax and give the story a chance cuz threatening to drop peak cuz of ts is kinda crazy when it’s only been 1 chapter. I thought I was gonna see theories on what’s going on when I scrolled down but no it’s all complaining
Tbh, it's not that bad than the other two manhwas I know (and the other one was completely misleading about was the main couple, i felt lik throwing my phone cuz I wasted time reading that crap). Also this is not new? Like there are other couple manhwas that have introduced side couples while the main haven't yet finished but they never outshined the main (it only happens if the main is crap)
MY LONG YAP POST DIDNT POST THE YAPPP UGHH
ok chat if you see this this is a warning that there’s gonna be spoilers in my reply comments cuz I’m mad now good thing I wrote my yap in my notes so I still had every bit of it that don’t post
Well that was not exactly what I was expecting tbh, I truly hope there are side stories or creator notes to explain wth is goin on.
Here’s some of my unanswered questions:
-why exactly did this happen in the first place?
— I’m wondering if the cave was cursed or something. I was also thinking like maybe their minds connected as a way to subconsciously make them fight for life after the accident. But it wouldn’t really make sense since bada had the rope around his wrist
-where exactly did seungchan go?
— this one I am quite interested in finding out, because since he disappeared I feel like you can assume that while they were in the “game” they were not physically in the car. They were spit back out to before they started, they also sustained the injuries they had from the game in real life, so we know that the place they went to was reality in some form. So is seungchan just dead? Lifelessly stuck in the game forever? Or or or get this, he revives again because his tape was never actually removed, so why wouldn’t he come back to life? Unless the final level made it so there was no more revives after this I’m not sure but eh I may have just not been paying attention.
-if bada was a real life person turned Npc, how did that happen?
— so this is why im thinking that seungchan will become an npc.. hear me out. I think bada was trapped in the game before and became the sacrifice just like seungchan did. Would explain why he became an Npc to an extent because th story can’t go on without all of the players, just like jumanji, you gotta have everyone to win and it’s just him alone so he can’t really do much.
— another thing, We know your memories are erased once you beat the “game,” so would it not be safe to assume that if he did beat the game (technically his group since he was sacrificed, if my guess would be correct) before he would have forgotten all about it? That’s why he wouldn’t realize he was an npc at first
-are we even sure it’s really a game?
—yo we got like NO info on ts if it was a game I was expecting to see the creator/developers or just have them show something to us on why this happened, I imagined it coulda been like the hollow or jumanji but we weren’t given any clue. All we have is the pattern pretty much and I mean it makes sense that they would consider it to be a game because how else could your mind cope with the trauma of being murdered repeatedly and sometimes losing your memories. Just like hide and seek, which was made for survival training in the form of a game because kids probably can’t really grasp the concept that their lives could be in danger and threatened or smth like that. So adding on to this, yes there are many game like elements like respawning, different levels of the map, saving progress, npc so it’s understandable they would make it into some kinda game because if there’s no end to this then what point is there even trying, you would literally go insane. I feel like they could have seen it as a game because they needed to give themselves hope that there was a way to get out of this hell. But like I said in another question we literally get no information on who created this place or why it happened so like how exactly could you know has was designed to be a game instead of some other messed up thing.
- did Doha truly lose his memories?
— ok this one I really wanna know because he’s acting differently than the group, he realized something was off and that he lost something. Then at the hospital he stayed with bada for 3 days (I’m assuming like he would periodically check in but like if you don’t know someone and you help them to the hospital how likely are you gonna come visit them to see if they’re ok?). He’s also reaching for badas hand like he subconsciously wants to be close and touch him. And then as soon as bada kisses him and confesses his vibe changes and he looks like the Doha we know but maybe that’s just me. If he didn’t remember at that point I feel like there just needs to be certain triggers for him to remember at least since his body bears the trauma. The mind may forget but the body remembers
Other questions I won’t yap about too much
- why was bada the only one to remember?
-why didn’t he remember going to give his cousin his suitcase?
-seriously though where tf is seungchan? Are they gonna report him missing? I can’t imagine them not doing something if an entire person just disappears much less their friend
-who is the murderer? Could they be someone who was the first person trapped in the game and lowkey went crazy? (Forget if we learned much about him)
YALL TS GOT ME MESSED UP WHAT WAS THAT ENDING ┗( T﹏T )┛ SIDE STORIES EXPLAINNNNN
That is a possibility but I still think the game ended with the collapsed tunnel because if there’s no way for new players to access the place where the story start then there’s no way for the story to take place. And Bada was really an npc, he was something like a martyr for the other players to reach the end of the game so I think Seungchan just took that role when he dies in Bada’s place as the one who was in the way of the villagers and killer plan
I think real players have their memories of the game whipped but since Bada was originally an npc he kept his memory. Doha was always clever so I think he knows or at least senses that he knows Bada and thought I think it may be difficult and even bad if Doha remembers everything since now they are in the real world I still feel bad that he lost his memories and won’t remember how much of a smart baddie Bada is
IMO, I might be wrong!!!
Bada is the only one that retained his memory because he was originally an npc, if he was born on the game’s reality then he will remember the game even after escaping. The others were originally from the real world and even when playing ( at least during the early rounds) they remembered the real world and the lives they had there so when they came back to their original reality the game was forgotten or will be thought of as a dream or something.
Nada didn’t remember giving his cousin the suitcase because he wasn’t originally Seungchan’s cousin, that was just the story they used to get Bada into the game
I think ( just a theory) that he died at the collapsed tunnel, maybe he’s not dead but just missing but I still think that since the last round was the end of the game he may have died there and irl
The killer from what I understood was someone from the village that was mistreated by his family and one day killed them and was embraced by the lunatic villagers that decided he would be the one in charge of killing for the weird rituals that the villagers had and so the villagers were in charge of getting innocent people for the ritual and the killer was supposed to kill them
Well that was not exactly what I was expecting tbh, I truly hope there are side stories or creator notes to explain wth is goin on.

We just gonna breeze past the fact that the blonde angel guy is literally assaulting him in his sleep? And from the comments I’m seeing the evil guy is a ml candidate? How is this rated so high
Bro nobody gaf
The average yaoi enjoyer gives no fuck about a "puny" thing like consent apparently
Sadly, it's part of the plot considering that this is based off of Greek mythology
Did u research this myth everyone uses to justify it? Its one of the only greek myths that do not have sexual assault
considering the fact I have multiple downvotes and the other two replies on here that’s clear :/
Honestly, I'm just here cause I want to see how he'll sirvive, I dkn't even read all of the chapters lol
There was supposed to be consents according to the people who actually have knowledge about Greek myths but the author decided that greek myths=Rape.
A lot of Korean manhwa are rape and this is nothing new, you can expect non con in this manhwa since it follows the typical manhwa stereotype. Majority of Korean authors normalizes rapes as if it's just a sexy kinks. Idk what was so hard about giving consents, I mean OG psyche is actually that daring and bold, she's the type to let a handsome man in if they're worthy of her time
The most troublesome part about the myth is their arranged marriage and being socially pressured to do "marriage things". I found no sources about the so said sa. They were attracted to each other despite the circumstances
No one really knows if that evil guy will be another ml, and there's that other black hair guy who seems nice and who might be an ml. I don't think people who rated this so high did it because of the assault. They're just interested to see where the story is going, and depending how it will unfold they might change their mind.
The story just started, and so far, there is nothing much to rate, no real development. If for you: assault=a systematic low rating, go create other accounts to review bomb this thing idk. This is just ridiculous.
Idt the evil guy is a ml candidate looking at the cover
Calling this ridiculous when all I said was are we going to breeze past the fact that the Mc is being assaulted and that the step dad guy (what I meant by evil guy) could be a ml candidate, I didn’t add this but I saw things saying that he might also try to assault him and that he’s making suggestive comments that’s why I mentioned him. I only read a few chapters so idk what the current situation is.
I just am disappointed because I was expecting to read something good because of the high rating and then I saw the assault and people calling the angel guy hot and saying that he could do things to them too. It’s just icky because if it was someone who was not drawn in an attractive way the comments would not be the same. It’s just weird that people just ignore it like it’s nothing or romanticizing it. I’m sorry I don’t see why stories that involve rape and make it seem like it’s acceptable and hot are rated highly, this doesn’t even really seem to have an interesting plot when the chapters I read is just the angel guy stalking him and assaulting him in his sleep.
I mean the guy with the scar who looks crazy and is the king or whatever who killed the Mc family I think
Yeah I'm also talking about him, the king who killed the MC'S father
Mb dude I thought you said idk, thought the idt was a typo
I said 'i don't think' in short - idt
But it happens no worries (≧∀≦)
I'm not sure this story is making rape seem acceptable.
People lusting over the angel guy in the comments is a whole different thing.
As far as I know the MC isn't lusting after the angel guy because he is hot...
Hell, there are even people lusting after that evil king who seems to want to assault the MC. You should separate the actual story from the comment section... x))
And what I said is ridiculous is that for you: assault=a systematic low rating. Like your mind can't comprehend that a story containing assault, doesn't mean it's glorifying it. This is what I find ridiculous...
My original question was about the ratings and how people reading this can just skip past the assault scenes. I never said that if there was assault it should automatically be rated low or that it was glorifying it. My problem was with nobody mentioning it and the people making the comments I mentioned as well as the way it is drawn. If you look at the panels it is very clearly being eroticized even if the Mc is saying and thinking that he doesn’t want it. There was not even a warning about noncon even though him thinking and saying he doesn’t want it shows that it is.
If it was dealt with properly when it came up and not made into some erotic fantasy I would not be as upset as I am and I feel like people wouldn’t be making the same comments as they did. I was upset because when I looked at the comments there were not a lot of people mentioning the assault and instead commenting on the looks of the angel or the step dad. Reading the comments on a story is kinda important to me because I like discussing theories and plot points and to just see people simping over someone who assaulted Mc and someone who is making predatory comments to Mc is off putting for me.
Then I have to reassure you, if you look into the older comments, there are people talking about the assault and all. I think that the more recent comments are only related to the most recent chapter release. And since there is no actual assault in it, people aren't bringing it up, that's all.
There should def be some trigger warnings for this, but I'm sure that if you actually paid to read this on the official sites, you won't miss those trigger warnings.
I did end up taking a look back into the comments and I see you are right, I should have gone back before but seeing people make those comments in the first place is what got me upset. Especially after reading the chapter you mentioned, since it seems like the step dad wants to assault mc and is making some predatory comments about him.
About the trigger warnings usually there are some that are shown on here especially if it is the official translation being released or the translator on here will add it.
I’m sorry for arguing with you, I just get frustrated when it seems that people aren’t acknowledging what is going on in cases like this where it is assault and instead commenting on the looks of either the assaulter or someone so predatory. And also when it seams like it’s not dealt with seriously which is why I brought up it being eroticized.
Don't worry, I agree with you that assault and all those theme should not be taken lightly. And I also can't really understand the people who left the comments about that king. I mean, he is objectively attractive. But with all those predatory comments he was making and all, I don't get people who are still attracted to him. His personnality is just disgusting.
Especially the last words he said "Next, come in." And people responding that they're coming, I couldn't help finding it funny. Like it's just too absurd. (lowkey disgusting, but still funny.)
The art is gorgeous though... I would have loved to see this manhwa artist illustrate some good plot driven BL stories like Mo dao zu shi, etc... But well, we can't get everything we want... x)
