This story is just infuriating, like I started reading it when there were only few chapters...and I was genuinely excited to see how it would unfold, but then I am met with this disappointment of a story and art style??
The most infuriating thing to me tho was "the kidnaping" arc and how easily he forgave his "mother" was simply annoying af ,
LIKE GIRL?? She literally abandoned her teenage son because he reminded her of her deceased husband and couldn't bear his burden ??
What do u mean she had an option to work less and closer to home but she chose to run the fuck away??
Was also blessed with " a well behaved " son who after being neglected still sent her half(?) of his pay check , letting her have a comfortable retirement...
Also how uninterested a person can be to not ask thier own SON, when he wanted to drop out and change his name so abruptly, why he wanted that or even has something happened??
And how even when everything finally came to light, she didn't run to her son knees begging for forgiveness?? This bitch waited like a week (IDK tbh) and all she had to say was "HaNniee~~, oh HAnnIe~~" and " good job bb boy" and he FORGAVE HER??????????????? Plus considering her a figure that will be there for him later on ????
...What a shit writing ISTG ........
Instead of the stupid shit the author has committed, they should have made the mc ignore his " mother"( she can't be called one tbh), leaving her to carry at least some burden that she SHOULD HAVE CARRIED WHEN HE WAS A TEENAGER, to feel at least she had wronged him , or for us to see this bitch facing consequences... ANYTHING LITERALLY, but oh well.......
I enjoyed the story very much, but ngl they're some plot holes - I don't know if it's a suitable description - that kind of left me unsatisfied.
For example, there was no explanation of why did the bell specifically got attached to the mc, maybe I missed it; idk.
Also they introduced a very interesting character which was Dae-byol, I thought maybe he will have a great role or smth, but yhe only thing he did was letting the hyung and his brother go to the earth, don't get me wrong that was the start of everything, and I also know that he was the one that made yoam-ra the deputy of the underworld, and while -again- that was the start of everything, was it really necessary to make him a faceless character, who was the start of all the misfortune, but when narrating his story he was the good thoughtful brother, promising that the underworld would be stable under his regime, but instead he spent all his time sleeping??? That was really bizzare to me.
There's also the sudden immerge of the jade emperor, like why wasn't he in his palace, and instead cosplaying a mountain deity roaming around with the mc and the ml, what is the use of all this, I am saying this because he was introduced as cunning, so instead of this if he had been waiting in the heavens, watching what was happening in the underworld, untill the chance of his " justified" interference arose, wouldn't it be more fitting to his initial image?? Wouldn't it had been better if dae- byol was the one to save the day instead of so-byol??
Idk man, I was just kinda unsatisfied, and felt like it was kinda rushed at the end ( even tho it's a 104 chapters long lol) but yeah.....
Anyway, I still enjoyed it. It served its purpose (easing my boredom) so yeah ..
