I checked out at ch 141 (to let it marinate) and I come take a look just to see the words
Chapter 311 [End of season 1]
...
season 1?!? How many seasons are there supposed to be >.> ??
In the novel we are ending it off at around chapter 250 and there is a total of 550 chapters in the full novel. So we are almost halfway done with the story.
I was curious after watching the drama if there was a manga but man, this sucked ass... Super rushed and no plot. I'd rather they not have made a manga at all than produce something so crap...
If you're thinking about reading this, don't, it's not worth it.
Can someone give summary? Mangago doesn't have one provided
The story is about Rokuhira Chihiro, an 18-year old man who wanted to follow in his famous father's path to become a swordsmith until tragedy struck - a ruthless criminal organisation comprised of sorcerers, known as the Hishaku, murdered his father and stole the mystical Enchanted Blades, forged and imbued with sorcery that helped end the Seitei war years prior to the beginning of the series. Chihiro's goal now is to exact revenge on his father's murderers and reclaim his stolen legacy.

Thank you for the summary and TW!!
Is Teach just asking him to go ahead bc he's feeling it? Like, he /wants/ Guwon to be rough and for it to hurt bc he doesn't want to take pleasure from it, or am I misinterpreting it?
Nah. I don't think it's that deep. He just too horny and the slow pace is killing him even more.
You might be right tbh but I do remember teach actually enjoying the pain a few chapters back so maybe he's just kind of a masochist???? But he doesn't know about it yet or something lolol
Reading the comments really cements the fact that this is the same author as Sadistic Beauty
I thought y'all were exaggerating abt his dick... that's a whole fucking arm. a thigh. that dick is the size of a piece of fucking firewood. holy shit.
Okay, the ending was a little rushed, but I think it was pretty neatly wrapped up in spite of that.
And now we have them in the modern world?! So exciting!! I really hope it ends up being poly end... but, I'm already pretty satisfied with the way things are regardless.
Idk if someone has mentioned this yet, but figs are not fruit but inverse flowers and, not all, but some types of figs are often pollinated bc a wasp will go inside the fig and die.
Also. Figs have a lot of religious symbolism, often associated w prosperity/peace.
I believe the author is Korean, but I also found the Vietnamese myth of Cuoi and the banyan (fig) tree particularly interesting. TLDR: The tree has the power to bring people back from the dead; the tree flourishes when watered with clean water, but when someone else decides to give it dirty water, it flies away. Cuoi grabs on while it does so and is taken to the moon, where he must watch earth from above.

As for Sisyphus, we all know him (I hope), but one site I read from had a few interesting tidbits like: ( https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/myths/sisyphus/ )
-"Sisyphus would repeatedly kill travelers staying with him and then show the bodies to his subjects to show he was a ruthless leader." Not exactly the same but sorta reminds me of someone...
-"Sisyphus expressed an interest in the handcuffs and asked Thanatos to show him how the chains worked – on himself, effectively making Thanatos Sisyphus’s prisoner" aka, he made death his prisoner. Hmmmm, reminds me a lil of a certain pair...
As I said, these could just be coincidences. I'm not an expert in any of the above subjects, nor do I claim to be one, I just found it fun to look them up and thought I'd share.
Thanks to you I discovered this beautiful Vietnamese tale
I thought the title just meant that we're in eternal hell always doing the same thing just like Sisyphus... also are the hours really THAT important for the to be in the title ? Until now Guwon is the biggest mystery the others are just like he said ... dogs. Anyways loved your analysis
Omg Im Viet and couldnt even thought of this for my life, youre a genious!!!! Thank u for introducing our culture to more ppl :D
