This shi PEAK idgaf what anyone says, I can't even complain about the short length because the pacing was perfect for the conflict and resolution of their romance.
I don't even pay attention to the plot (if there even is one), I literally just drop by and check whatever is the newest chapter whenever my mood is at rock bottom and it instantly lifts my misery. Can't be depressed if you're too confused to the point of laughter.
Not even google translate can save me. I tried reading the og raws and i cant make jack shi outta the plot timeline. Begging the translators to pick this up, ill literally pay yall (if its within my monetary budget) for it
It makes sense how the beastmen weren't able to distinguish the mc as a human male. In beastmen culture, it's the norm for both genders to be buff or masculine in a way, therefore it's no wonder they applied the same logic onto the mc. Although you could definitely argue that the previous human brides were less masc presenting, thus they would apply different logic onto their race, I'd still like to chalk it up to the fact that beastmen are open minded to the point that they don't mind whether a woman has bulk muscles or not. (Not to mention they only base the match up criteria of the brides with their surface level features rather than strictly abiding to the portrait given to them)
We gotta give props to Minakata. Without him, I'm pretty sure Ichi would've killed a lot of people by now. Sure, killing intent can be straight forward, but sometimes it comes at the cost of misunderstanding (brainwash, manipulation, accidentally mistaking someone for the wrong target, etc.).
What Minakata taught Ichi (hold back his instinct for bloodlust) proved quite helpful in some scenarios, namely the time where Gokuraku was being controlled by that misery majik. Though it's clear Ichi can't properly handle it yet and can only fully stop unless it's Minakata himself who calls out to him.
It's been told to us at the start of the story, so there'll definitely be a time where Ichi has to conquer this instinct of his or it ends up becoming his downfall (someone close to him may die because of it).
First time reading this and I finally caught up. All I have to say is: the group's dynamic is so f#cked.
Sayeon has a god complex & sees any bit of defiance towards her as a threat or "aha, very predictable!" (not to mention her insistence on denying her insanity by justification of whatever means), Ryujin (a.k.a, 'I put up a tough front but deep down I do give a damn') wants no part in this bullsh*t but drags along just so she can get the chance to kill the people in the corps, Min lacks any aspirations in life other than the orders given to him and is mad jealous of Sayeon cause she gets to have the unconditional sibling love he never had in his life but has nowhere to vent his hatred for Sayeon because it's what Samin ordered him to, and Iseul is one snap away from losing his sanity as the only normal person in this group who grew up in a non-dysfunctional environment (honestly, it's a surprise he hasn't quit yet, but what other choice does he have unless he wants to be tracked down by the corps).
Sleepacross, you've earned my respect as a fellow writer because you cannot fathom how difficult it is to make each character in the group fully-fleshed out whilst simultaneously conjuring a complicated dynamic rather than taking the easy way out by making them all get along.
Btw, this isn't a complaint about any of the characters. I find this troupe especially refreshing, though I must say it's to the point that it gets a laugh out of me considering such a ragtag bunch of main cast is just interesting enough to keep you hooked.
Someone remove that incorrect chapter 123 right now, shi had me thinking i went to the wrong series when i first opened that thing
LOOOOOOL soz it's the right chapter now
Tyyy
I let this manwha marinate for years cause i was too lazy to read the novel so I wanted to check the comments to see if the current arc is the best time to start reading again, but instead I see some mf named "Kivomo" with a pfp from a story that's widely known for it's toxicity. Apparently they even spam the same argument and rants in this comsec which is wild
Although I do agree with the take that TOXIC shippers do ruin the fandom, it's awful to discredit the shipping community as a whole as they're actually known for their ability to revive fandoms or series based on the sole fact of whether the shipping community has any characters they can obsess over thus giving the series a major boost in popularity.
Hell, a good example of that is with Kagurabacchi where the og fans were practically spreading the word to bl shippers to give that manga a read. And lo and behold, it actually gave that manga a chance and boosted it's popularity after the shippers deemed it worthy of interest.
Overall, it depends on which type of shipping community the series attracts, and I don't mean to support the toxic shippers when I say this but they're quite literally commonplace in any fandom you go to. Your decision is to either ignore them and block any content you dislike from them (doesn't excuse their toxic behaviour, but I do hope these people change their ways).
Hope the whole "shippers ruin everything" discourse ends here, cause trust me I used to be one of such people but I eventually opened my eyes and realised that majority of them are just people who are having fun rather than the 10% that dish out d£ath threats
this is the most valid take ive read- ships are usually just people having fun, the POTN pfp guy was ironically more toxic than any yoojin x sung shipper i have EVER seen
LMAO the amount of comments I've seen bashing Sun-fei re-surged again, y'all are so predictable Trust they'll end up talking it out, it's how Nii Satoru operates
That aside, I have a theory that Sun-fei's master adopted him or was a blood relative of his that died early on in his life.
There's two factors to support that theory:
1. Sun-fei constantly keeps up a level-headed image of himself and mentions "maturity" & "growing-up" frequently in the early chapters. This is usually shown in people who were forced to "be an adult" as kids due to circumstances where an adult figure (parent, guardian, etc.) is lacking in their life, and they have other people to take care of but sadly no one else to fit the bill.
2. The position Sun-fei holds at Red Chanpuru is a major one, deduced by the fact everyone in the island knows him. "Why give such a considerable position to a kid who hasn't even fully graduated?". Inheritance/Succession is the answer. The person he likely gained from was his master, who is long deceased.
(extra note: I went back to reread the early chapters, and I have a feeling that Sun-fei gets envious of people who are able to willingly open up about themselves. Sometimes he wears a look of 'longing' that gives the vibe that he struggled with similar situations but never has it in him to actually tell anyone about it.)
Just wanted to share how happy I am as a novel reader that discovered the story way before the manwha's release or teaser. It's like seeing things you've fantasized about finally come true right before your very eyes. Hopefully there's gonna be more merch available worldwide now with the story's official manwha release. It's tough when your only options are buying from places overseas that have super high delivery fees, or commissioning your local artists because you're an untalented bum that can't craft for sh*t.
