this story is so good... I don't even need the r-rated chapters (i will be reading them tho). I love the story and the progression of first's and Keith's relationship. it feels so natural and you can clearly see how their feelings change throughout the story. this one went hard.
the incest part tho... was not tasteful and I'm upset about it. maybe in the original novel, it was handled more delicately but it didn't come across as such in the manhwa
I actually never expect the incest tho, but I do agree that this story is still good even without the side stories (not complaining, jusg saying the story is already peak without side)
I had read this up till season 1 and then let it marinate, and now I'm rereading and catching up to it (so please no spoiler) and I made a meaningful realization at episode 33.
Sunwoo awakened because he got stuck in a loop during the simulation and relived his parents death. and now Gajun is in a loop, reliving Sunwoo's death.
this has a dual meaning. this might be a clue to how Gajun will (probably) awaken, and how they connect and understand each other. they understand the pain of reliving such a trauma (and the aftermath, such as isolation) and the selfishness of prioritizing oneself. they both had to desensitize towards other people's deaths to protect their sanity.
OH MY GODHAHAHAHAHDELETE THIS NOW I CAN'T BEAR THIS ANGST ANYMOR
haha, please I thought I was about to get jumped . totally get how you feel, this manhwa has me at my seat's edge
