This story could have been so incredibly wholesome and healing, butterflies and all, but omfg all those violent and rapey sex scenes almost got me to throw up. And that's excluding the actual rape scene that was downplayed so bad I couldn't compute for the next few minutes.
Considering how scheming the uncle seemed at one point, I even wondered if he might have had a hand in the hospital getting built near the mountain in the first place. I might be completely off, but he did seem to be a business guy, his contradictory scheming around Bomran paints him as a goody-two-shoes at best and straight up devious at the worst, and I think during Dojins crisis I saw the uncle being present in the hospital for some reason, which made me think if he might have some high position there. But who knows
Theres a scene with land contract of thr hospital with his name iirc
God I really hate when people have the attitude of "let them experience the hardship and get through it themselves to grow" in real life. If you know I'm about to make an unnecessary mistake and you can explain to me why it won't work, just tell me. I can learn just fine without wasting that extra time from going through all the hassle. There will still be enough mistakes in the future to happen that I didn't see coming and that I'll be stuck fixing, so god damn don't give me that 'you have to stumble on your own first' crap. Like do you enjoy watching people struggle or sth?
Sorry for the rant but this is probably what bothers me the most in most office manga.
Yes but this does not work on everyone. Some people dont listen, or dont want to learn from others. So whats the point in explaining if they font listen or dont want to understand.
There was one time I discussed about it to my father and another time with a director from my old workplace.
Apparently, it is needed to make us get a bit mature, since we can't expect getting any help in every situation, so we have to learn by having experience.
Like you said, making unnecessary mistake is wasting time, but apparently when we work for only 1-2 years, making that kind of mistakes is expected to help
*to help your minset to be a mature. Of course, our supervisors are expected to help us as well.
But the saddest thing, not all supervisors or seniors are that kind. I had my own experience when I joined a new company not long after Covid started and it was hell................... so had no choice but to accept reality, but it sure made me become more independent though.
Is this worth reading? All I could see from the comments was that the sides are bad but the main story is great. But so far (up to chapter 15) the ML just treated MC as an unpaid servant, harassed him and tried to gaslight him into thinking that MCs the one making advances. Is this actually gonna become good or is MC just gonna keep being strung along?
personally, i found it really satisfying as it progressed and i liked the ending. i don't even mind the sides, i'm interested to see where they're going. the dynamic is a liiiiittle back to square one but that's to be expected considering how the main story ended in my personal opinion.
ML will be head over heels with the MC
ML will be head over heels with MC
Give it a try ..i personally liked it ... except the side story .. MC with act like an aßßhole
Wait who was u-chan again... i feel like I either accidentally skipped over some chapters or I'm mixing up this one with another idol story and forgot some major plot point because of it
On what chapter are you? Are you reading the officials? He's the one who knows about the mc's regression. He was also the one receiving quests and talking to the system. He's helping mc because if they don't do the quests the system gave them, they both die (or all of them, I think?).
Thanks^^ I'm on the newest chapter, but I don't remember any of this plot part, so either I accidentally skipped a part or completely wiped it from my memory
I think the plot is interesting and I'm glad to for once have found a story like this that isn't smut.
Luckily I'm stupidly ignorant about Egyptian culture and history so I wouldn't notice any potential blatant misrepresentation if it stared right into my eyes, thus it can't take me out of my immersion and I can just enjoy a refreshingly different setting from the typical western castle fantasy for once.
What really irks me though, is the face of Akination or what he's called, though. His lips just remind me too much of the racist picturing of black folks in history of cartoon and comic. No idea if it's just meant to be a unique character design, since this design was only used specifically on him, I believe, but it still makes me flinch every time I see it again >~<
And I still don't get whether the petrification puzzle has been solved already or not. I get the whole alternate timeline mehemis thing, but is he the one who was a stone statue in Li's timeline? In general I'm always curious about how authors deal with the inevitable time travel paradox, this one being no exception. If the person Li met in the future is current Mehemis, then he will have to become a statue in this timeline, otherwise future Li never would have had a way to know / find him. If it was the previous mehemis/anubis, then it's possible that this time the future changes entirely, but then before getting petrified, the anubis-mehemis would have had no way of meeting Li before his death, as he only met Li in a separate time-line, in his god-form. I hope this part of the plot is gonna get picked up again in some more detail later.
Broo that' s the whole plot and we are here to uncover that only every chapter is about the petrification, future and past we will get it at the end.
this story is so well written that it's unpredictable every damn chapter
I forgot how absolutely fucking nuts half of the characters are ^^'
I think the "evil god" stuff seemed a bit too on the nose to me.
I liked how the story didn't shy away from morally grey areas, questionable choices and behaviors, toxic relationships and things not being black and white at all. So having it all just become the most black and white good vs. evil, lacking even the creativity to come up with an actual name, and - just so absolutely noone of us might get confused- slapping "evil" on top... that felt like the exact opposite of the vibe in the beginning of the story. Felt almost like as a reader we were taken for idiots, needing to be guided by hand to understand who the antagonist of the story will be.
Don't get me wrong, I do actually like that the story did end on a brighter note and the MCs matured a lot from their darker hearts. But the way towards the end seemed to be set up a little too conveniently and (no intend to insult the creator) lazily.
Honestly, I'm giving the author a benefit of a doubt, and I believe it was done just for the plot twist. Lol would've more intense if the fl(Keira) was truly someone who would harm Ehrite's(?? Idk the spelling.) true shard.
Eww, ch. 121.... Relationship "tests" suck and he deserved to reflect way longer for that shitty behavior. Yuck.
Both characters are constantly contradicting themselves, but I suppose that's not necessarily unrealistic. Eunho is painfully dense to the point it's too unbelievable, but then again before my first reciprocated love I was dense af, too, and considering how Hyeon himself is clueless, too, I guess that's fair.
What I would really love though, (but I don't have much hope honestly), would be if they really do manage to come out with a much steadier, healthier relationship, than what would currently be possible in their current states. Without incredible amounts of codependency, constant anxiety and draining memtal health problems. I absolutely love the boundary that was set to seek professional help, because neither lovers nor friends can shoulder another's entire weight by themselves. It's a shame that so far the right kind of help hasn't been found yet - too realistic if you asked me, but I'd love to see them mature into a relationship where they realize there are more sustainable ways to be there for each other.
For me tho Eunho isnt dense, he is more like afraid to be more honest because Hyeon isnt reciprocating as forward as he needs to. "Needs to" because he needs a straight forward assurance and doesnt wanna risk the friendship they already have. Thats why he sees it more like a me problem than a Hyeon problem. Now what he is making Hyeon realize by leaving, is what is Eunho actually to him (friend or lover). Hyeon's action leans more to a lover than a friend (which Hyeon doesnt realize yet) which misleads or gave mixed signals to Eunho.
I fully agree on your second paragraph tho unn
