So, I watched the anime, and after the Queen Mother’s rebellion, I have mixed feelings about this series. I mean, why the fuck didn’t Sei kill her? How is that even possible? They portrayed Sei as a benevolent king who cares about his people, someone who’s different. But here we have the Queen Mother killing thousands of innocent people in a rebellion that she was the primary cause of. Didn’t those innocent soldiers and citizens who died in that battle have families too?!
Just because she’s his mother, he feels sympathy for her and doesn’t kill her. That makes him no different from other kings. I really liked this series, and even now I’m here reading it after the end of the anime, but this topic still makes me unable to enjoy it like I used to.
So does anyone know why he did this? I mean, she even had children with another man. I think in that period that was a huge taboo. How the hell did he forgive her and even promise to bring her children back to her? It’s like those innocent people who died aren’t worth his mother’s life. For fuck’s sake, even his wife and children were near death. How could he spare this bitch? Had the rebellion succeeded, everything he cared for would have been destroyed—his goals, his friends, his family. He would have lost everything, and I doubt the Queen Mother would have shown him any mercy.
you should start from the beginning then all your questions will be answered. you came from the anime and it only adapts the most necessary context so all the interactions and details that color in the relationships between chacters (sei and his mother in escape from zhao and state of ai especially) get swept away. it borders on injustice, truly.
Their relationship as mother and son is complicated. Just as the first comment that replied to you said, it would be best to read the Manga for a better understanding.
What i can say on the surface which is scratching it, is that Sei pities his mother and emphasizes with her a lot, to the point where he is unable to kill her.
I'm not sure why they're uploading such poor translations these days. The quality is so low that it forces me to go to other websites just to read, and it's making Manga Go a really disappointing experience
I've always disliked the narrative that suggests immortality, wealth, or power inevitably leads to a miserable existence. It goes against the fundamental human desire to live forever and achieve great things. To claim that happiness is reserved for those who are ordinary, or even less, just doesn't make sense to me.
power requires sacrifice and people are selfish, wealth can buy you everything to the point that you live life comfortably but people use you, and live is awesome because it’s finite. living forever would eventually be miserable and sad
Humans also desires companionship. Something difficult to fulfill with an immortal life
Just make the companion an immortal too
This is really stupid , just go grab a gun and kill them for fuck's sake even one thousand years ago No one fought with bare hands , why are you wasting times , it's like in this world there's no gun , they even took down the mafia with some kids and their supernaturaland otherworldly martial arts , can you believe that ??? and where is the government, how can a bunch of kids kill and kidnapped people and nothing happen to them? And for fuck's sake when the MC fights his enemies he just knock them out and that's it , like what the fuck ? This guys kill people rape and drug them and you're letting them go with some punches, and just two chapters after that they come back and again fight with him it's just like a time loop that never ends i think when he reach the vilain he will knock him and that will be it's end . there are so much more shits but I don't really want to write more. This story is just annoying and dumb , I don't recommend it
honestly korean government is pretty lenient on minors but ir right UGHHH I WISH THEY JS PULLED OUT A PISTOL
I'm on Chapter 8, and I have a question why is the MC such a busybody and so glued to a random girl he just met on the street?
Its nothing, its just to let people low on guard. And its those random girls that come to him, he just take advantage of it
It's because he likes her righteousness and kindness.
