Genuinely not sure why people are confused or think this arc is poorly put together
I mean, if you just aren't remembering the stuff from way back in the beginning, I get it (I've reread it a couple of times at this point)
But the lore that's being revealed seems to fit with what we already know, answers questions that have been there since the beginning (though they weren't important to the forefront of the story until now), and further develops the characters
If you aren't feeling it, that's fine, but maybe you're just a little worn out on this story at the moment
Now that aside, stuff that wasn't blatantly revealed/explained yet:
I'm not sure if it's implying that Sigra and Gozu are the same person in a reincarnation cycle kind of way
Ame (the assassin guy) was in love with Sigra (the one who Gozu replace) but it seems Sigra didn't reciprocate and knew how the blind mage guy was in love with Ame (or at least cares for him very deeply as a friend), so every time the game's story line played out, he sacrificed himself so Ame could live and be with the mage (not that it ever worked out that way cuz they all died)
There are parallels being drawn between Sigra's personality +death and Gozu's so it does feel like Gozu could be Sigra who escaped the reincarnation loop, lived a shitty life on earth, and then returned to the game's storyline (but that's just my theory)
I usually hate comments saying "why is this still going" or that type of shit
But I agree this time.
This is so unnecessary and it genuinely feels like an abuse of this manhua's fan base. If the author wanted to write angst, they should have published another manhua
Like hhhhh I can kind of understand it from a writing perspective. The grandpa had been a villain identified way back in the beginning, so you want to address him and have the main character deal with him. But he could have stayed in the past. He could have just been Taesung's mom's problem to deal with and a piece of her history that explains the rough relationship between her and her son.
And this type of angst only hits THIS FUCKING HARD when you're already attached to the characters, so maybe that's another driving factor.
But it's just not cool. The author is abusing their characters and the fan base that has attached themselves to this work and it will never feel the same again.
Because this is a whole ass genre change. It went from fluffy, slice of life to psychological torture drama. YOU CANT FUCKING DO THAT THATS SO FUCKED UP AND WE WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU










BOTH MEN ARE TRASH TF IS SHE DOINGGGG.
Idk if I'm just not remembering or if it hasn't been fully revealed but why is the Bron guy doing this to her? Like I get that she's in love with him (he's an abuse asshole so she she really just quit that) which is why she listens, but those last chapters honestly made me sick
Like he's literally setting her up (repeatedly) as rapebait for the emperor. And I fucking hate that word, but that's like... Actually the intention behind what he's doing. It's so fucking sick.
