So "Hikaru" was set free by real Hikaru's father, only to forget it didn't have to grant wishes anymore? But it still came down from the mountain? I guess it makes sense that it would respond to wishes if it believed it HAD to, but even against its will?
I took it as Hikaru’s dad freed ’Hikaru’ from the shrine and the previous identity of Nounuki-sama but he wasn’t specific enough to affect the wish-granting. That’s why ‘Hikaru’ was able to roam around and take on a new body but still felt the need to fulfill Hikaru’s dying wish. Like ‘Hikaru’s’ sense of self was gone but the compulsions remained.
Totally agree, there's people getting confused about it but being free doesn't stop it from wanting to grant wishes. Specially when the entity takes things way too literally.
I was wondering if anyone was planning to upload the new BL Webtoon called Pending Approval.

I initially stopped reading this because I thought it was a Killing Stalking clone.
Holy shit am I glad I gave it a second chance because this is one of the best manhwas I've ever read. It's really violent and angsty in the beginning for a reason, but the way the characters are fleshed out and evolve is incredibly well written. I couldn't stop reading. The central theme of powerlessness in the face of overwhelming injustice, being nothing more than a "pawn" in a game of (Korean) chess, is explored in ways that aren't tropey or surface-level either.
There is rape, and there is dubcon, but the mistreatment of sex workers is an important part of the story.
