Wasted 7 weeks/ episodes hoping to see jian and author didn't even bother to bring him up. I hope there's another story for them.
it's common to complete the main couple lore first before the side couple lol. And if you check her acc you will find this tweet : https://x.com/i/status/2061004815136932208 (she's talking about planning jinjian after the main couple, like just be patient bruh)
You see these are side stories not the main one. Usually authors bring back side couples in the side stories. And unlike other stories this one was a murder mystery that ended with another mysterious death(jian's- he's alive hopefully). After looking at the tweet I'm hopeful. To some extent after a certain phase the side couple made more impact on me. Yes I too don't expect them exclusively in the main story(not to mention they're already there) but an author's note on the story's end might have been nice. Now I'm not demanding something here as we all are reading this pirated copies.
I understand them having more impact on you, but again it’s important to know boundaries as a reader. You weren’t very kind, saying you wasted 7 weeks implies that there’s something wrong with the main couple. Unfortunately if you didn’t want to see their story, you shouldn’t have read. But there was no reason to say it like that, that’s why it sounded demanding. I also wouldn’t say authors normally bring back side couples for the first side story. Typically it’s a side for the main couple, then a side for the side couple. Sure an authors note would’ve been nice, but implying time was wasted on writing these stories is quite rude.
I just checked bwat's twitter and she said she has completed final chapter of blossoms of the white night . First i thought it was some kinda prank when I saw it on insta. I'm sad. I know she's going through a lot but I wish she's taken a very long break and come back ..... Am I seeing things ????
I thought that too. But this is what they wrote on X: https://x.com/i/status/2062680022339715337
I'm confused.
Yea, its probably a translation error. Besides they have a whole lot of storyline to cover, and its not typical of them to have short stories. One thing i love about bwat is they have a good flow of their storyline with clear beginning, climax and end without sacrificing suspense intrigue and drama.
I assume most people probably rely on grok to translate tweets which yeah it's most likely a translation error since grok is notorious for translating things wrong. I do agree tho since BWAT isn't known for short stories and there's so much of the world building along with character development to happen in the story, I couldn't see it end anytime soon
I feel like bwat has more storyline to explain rn than in smyrna since this is essentially the beginning of their 3 parts lore. So it wouldnt be surprising if its actually longer than Smyrna by the excitement they have with this story to tell. Eitherway, id honestly they go longer just to properly deliver the storyline.
I also feel this way about the story, with the way BWATs talked about this story specially in recent tweets and it's connections to past projects I'd love for it to be much longer then the other stories. There's so much potential in this one and with the connecting lore and how the worlds already been setup in just 27 chapters I hope to see a lot come out of this series. Tho I also want BWAT to rest and take their time to avoid any kind of burnout while serializing the story.
Bwat deserves a break. I've started reading bwat's work around the time of blood link. And I've never seen them take proper break. Literally 1-2 new releases every year- banger after banger along with improved art style. Even sometimes they've worked on 2 series simultaneously. I hope they get a full recovery and also condolences for their cat.










Now the stitch part on his neck and hand makes more sense than the tattoo thing.
My theory is -
Jinwoo has a wrong idea about Guwon killing his father. I think he was probably turning and Guwon noticed it so he killed him. But Jinwoo has clouded memory he thinks Guwon intentionally/ mindlessly killed his father.
I think Jinwoo resurrects Guwon every single time as Guwon is a necessary part of that apocalyptic society. As the name suggests Sisyphus is a figure from ancient Greek mythology, famous for being punished by the gods with an endless, exhausting task.
According to the myth, Sisyphus was a king who angered the gods, particularly Zeus, through his deceitfulness and attempts to escape death.
His punishment was to push an enormous boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down every time he nearly reached the top. He had to repeat this task forever.
If we look at the metaphorical elements sisyphus is Guwon and probably Jinwoo symbolises the boulder- every time Guwon takes Jinwoo on that cliff and jumps off to start that endless repeated cycle. And every time the yown's people cuts guwon's body in pieces, hence the stitches.
I think Guwon remembers Jinwoo every single time ( just a theory) but Jinwoo does not as his memory changes every single time.
In this chapter it's shown that he didn't die but the hounds are here also that piles of dead figures dream - it's probably his mind unconsciously telling him the incidents that has happened and slowly jogging his memory.
All of this is just what I think.
