We knew that he wasn’t from the desert but rather the northern hemisphere of a European style continent. However, this being “ye times of old”, the Gundam/mecha figures are completely out of place, not to mention the whole “it comes from a world I can never return to” thing.
My theory is that Gwen probably transmigrating into a Crown prince vs Duke of the north style romance novel and has either
1. Competed the original storyline, gained all the op abilities, befriended the FL/ purposely set her up with his love rival and is now exploring the rest of the world. Or
2. Due to his ‘free’ personality, he took little to no interest in the plot of the main story and focused on grinding out his skills so he could comfortably explore the rest of the world.
Either way, our story likely takes place in the desert side region where the romance novels foreign envoy/big merchant would come from(they are probably from a neighbouring country tho)
I think the biggest problem ppl are having with the side couple is that we simply don’t really know them. Unlike other stories where both the main and side cast/couple are in close proximity; So-yi being in a different class/friend group from Byul and Bin being in a completely different grade, just puts way to much distance between all the characters. This makes it harder for the author to organically engineer situations where everyone is present and where the audience can be smoothly exposed to the side couple.
Instead we’ve ended up with the feeling that the side couple is being “shoved” down our throats because during the main story, we simply didn’t interact with them as side character enough to get invested in their story and want to see whole chapters dedicated too what they have going on.
While I don’t think most of the comments intended to be lesbophobic as ppl simply just don’t care about the girls; the way some ppl are voicing their lack of interest is just that, and a LOT of the comments specifically in reference to Bin straight up reek of misogyny










Nowadays ppl call anything slightly outside of normal sex freaky, but sir you are freaky as hell, like I would be surprised if this manhwa dips it toes in every fetish, kink and sex subculture before it concluds
