This was sudden and... kinda pathetic and anticlimatic? A typical "follow to the transport and shout don't leave me"? They went for passionate and was underwhelming instead... I was hoping for Kim Dan getting a text reminding him what they said at the beach, that he'd support him no matter what. Or granny going through an emergency an him turning up to support Dan. Not this... Basic abuser manipulation tactic of crying while asking the abused not to leave them? That's more of a red flag in my eyes, he's putting his suffering on Kin Dan, like "if you leave me now my life will be over". Abusers do that...
Such a pity, I actually liked the way it was going, emotionally, in their development... With JJK realising how badly he treated him and trying to make ammends not asking for anything in return...
I agree abusers do that but I don’t think JK is the type to be emotionally manipulative like that he’s not the deceptive type of toxic he’s just straight up bpd anger issues sociopathic toxic I don’t find him to have narcissistic traits narcissists are obsessed with controlling the narrative jk doesn’t do that
While he DOES have narcissistic traits in my eyes, I never thought him to be lying ot trying to manipulate, no. He's being genuine, I'm sure. My problem isn't with him doing it, it's with the author making him do it, because intentional or not it IS manipulative and an abusive move real abusers do. And it's painted in a light to make it romantic, which... Girls, if this happens to you irl don't beleieve this to be romantic... But yeah, no, here we know he changed so I do think he'll behave, it's just that Dan would have no way to know
Oh I so agree I’m much older now and I don’t trust men but the yaoi I was reading back in the day was sadly worse than this? Misogyny is deeply imbedded in our culture intentionally from the patriarchy and affects so much of our thought processes and is RAMPANT in bl so many of the most popular bl conceptually is a toxic masculine seme and feminine uke who accepts all the bad behavior and sadly jinx is the epitome of that, I was just analyzing JK’s psyche I’m curious what narcissistic traits he has I see him more as a sociopath/borderline personality disorder I’ve met some narcissist’s and their whole life is focused on victimizing their circumstances and building a controlling narrative of their lives and forcing that story onto those they aim to control. Jk doesn’t do that he simply doesn’t care for others and treats people like trash / lacks empathy
So... He got the Hound guy to play the piano for him before smashing his head? I don't want him to be dead, tho. I want him to stay alive so he can learn the lesson and pass it on to the other Hounds.
Btw, just a little trivia, Sisyphus in the original myth was a cruel, violent and underhanded (liar) king who cheated Death itself and came back after dying, so... Yeah, I think Guwon died and came back wrong. And Teah probably too, which is why Guwon sees him as similar. Teach didn't just get knocked out when hit in the head, he probably really died.
He has stabbed himself before. That's what Guwon saw in his hand. His body is strange and heals, I'm guessing. He has tried to kill Guwon while asleep before. He probably killed his dad, and Guwon feels he's loose in the head too, probably, they're a match made in Heaven.
wait what omg this makes sense. Because the dad was the one who hit Teach on the head. What chapter did he hurt himself?
You're on to something. I feel he will let himself loose once he learns he killed his father and will have a reign of terror with Guwon. That's the happy ending I wish because, otherwise, this will hurt af.
So... No consequences for his actions? The mother is the monster because she didn't accept him killing the innocent? Sorry, can't really empathize with him... I only hope he improves because... The god in the story "learnt from his wife's love and repented"? And what did he do to atone for the lives lost in his war games? Being sorry isn't enough, an yet he got his wife and all. And Shuraka isn't even sorry. Nope. Sorry, people learn through consequences for their actions, not by being bailed out by others who love them just because (I understand pitying a kid, but what does he even see in this adult him? He's cute, but hasn't even treated him all that well, not really).
... Sorry for the rant, I promise I don't hate the story, I have high hopes for it ┗( T﹏T )┛
I mean in this type of places where being innocent and not trying (what his mother wants obv) will also just ended up with them dying bcs obv shu is a threat to those wanting to touch the crown. The mother is stupid for protecting those "innocent" as if if shu was just a normal royal blooded boy, she wouldn't get killed. His war games? You mean surviving? You read tgcf did you think the mcs didn't kill any innocent? If killing someone even innocent meant surviving, I would do the same
You're right
And why should he feels sorry for? Ppl literally wanted to get rid of him becuz he was a major threat to them, do you think without killing others he would've survived?
Kinda being one sided here OP yeah the mother is valid in protecting the "innocent" & maybe she doesn't have any love for him coz he is the son of the emperor but to condemn Shuraka, a child, trying to survive is a bit hypocritical. Did he not honor his mother's wish by keeping the harem alive? Tei cares coz he still sees Shuraka as that child that needed protection, rn he wants to fulfill his duty as the consort and be there for him but I guess while developing feelings too.
Il-Woo's father was probably the one BaekHee's father killed (which got him in jail). That's why he practises stabbing, he came planning to kill his father's murderer once he got out of jail and then take his own life afterwards. I'm thinking the narration by them may be a testimony in court or to the police. Because BaekHee's father will probably get out of jail soon or something and Il-Woo WILL stab him, but not for revenge but in order to save BaekHee from him. Il-Woo will go to jail for killing him but it won't be a long sentence it being declared self defense by BaekHee's testimony (which he is narrating and is this story). BaekHee will promise Il-Woo he'll wait for him to come out and make him promise not to do something stupid meanwhile, and when Il-Woo tells him that he can't make him wait X years BaekHee will answer that after ten years in fear for of his father's release, the wait for him to come out and them being together again will be a positive chance and in this case he'll be looking forward that moment. Then we'll have a timeskip and them reuniting when he's let go of, kissing happily ever after.
I REST MY CASE, YOUR HONOR
YOOO YOU MIGHT BE COOKING
COOK
yeaah, something like this would make sense, in chapter 3 Ilwoo is walking by gicheon trying to remember an specific place he was with someone (maybe his father) so he was in gicheon before but he barely remembers it
this makes sense
Oooohh, so this world's version of Orias sensei (Lucky Happy, the one who can tamper with luck and Lied had to win against in a game back when gathering signatures in canon, and the Casino's original owner our darlings said they admire and want back, see how his charasteristic symbol the star is in his clothes and all around?) isn't MIA, he's literally between padded walls!! Original was really elegant in day to day appearances while messy when they met him in his downtime in the teacher's dormitories so it fits (he himself said he needed the downtime because manipulating luck is exhausting). In this world I'm guessing he burnt out being the always lucky man in the always lucky Casino and he kinda lost his mind. He must be their secret, they probably hid him away and they're trying to think up something that will get him back on his shoes. But Orias' luck is clearly still working if it got Iruma to find him out of sheer luck.
I must say that this AU version being darker than the original does something for me, we seem to be getting into psychological disorders here (Clara had some of it as well, and Azz has an edgier turn in his loyalty here as well, just as examples)
It was fine, but you can tell their heart isn't fully on it yet. Something is still missing. Can't wait for the emotional blockade to fall and them sharing a real one. Now THAT one will be hot and sweet, I'd expect
Right, everyone is so excited but I'm like for what? This was not exceptional... and Kim Dan broke my heart
Juheon, you are really tiring me out... Few things get on my nerves more than "I will treat you like shit and hurt you to push you away so you don't suffer (and won't tell you a thing)". Treating him him like that is probably hurting him more than whatever you try to protect him from and you deny him even the chance to choose which pain he'd rather go through. This case grates me more than others because he's doing what everyone keeps doing to Dohu: treating him like someone who doesn't feel pain. And Dohu deserves better. He deserves to be treated as a person, not like everyone in his life including his family treated him as. These years his health deteriorated to scary levels, so did Juheon's but at least his case is by choice and with knowledge of what's going on. Dohu is reaching a breaking point and I honestly want him to let it all finally out and cry, and Juheon to se and understand how much damage he's been doing.
In the novel he doesn't just lose an arm, he's hurt way worse, part of his body gone. And he doesn't say he'll try to get hurt as little as possible but the very opposite: as MUCH as possible, because he wants to make himself as harmless as he can for Yohan so he can't hurt him if he completely loses himself. He was trying to give Yohan a way to escape because he feared what he could do to him while in his most violent insane estate (from fighting the pseudosubway) （/TДT)/
Will he recover :(
Yeah he recovers
Who helps him or he self regenerate??
When will mc awakrn his power
He will right?
The mc awakens healing powers the novel says so
Ohh purifying and healing yaayy
Yup
Just purifying, actually, but that's enough! Because corruption is what's stopping Hyunmook's regeneration from working as it should. Awakeners usually heal from almost anything except for corruption, more the higher their level (low level recovers slowly from light wounds, middle recovers from a lot, high are reeeaally hard to kill). So purifying him let's him heal himself :) Purification is a REALLY OP ability in this world, especially inside the Abyss
Ohh so they regenerate body part too??
they can reattach body part but idk about regenerating a whole limb. never mentioned in the novel
