He didn't start the community, the town was already there and in the beginning the doctor said the original residents still lives there, mostly because they needed them but didn't elaborate further. Mc then wondered what the doctor meant. I think Guwon isn't really acting on his own, rather than wanting to build the town to build a safe haven, I think he's actually just programmed to build a safe haven for the millionaires. The millionaire's were supposedly hunters, and what type of dogs are hounds? Theyre hunting dogs. Which makes sense since the Hounds are first priority when it comes to supplies.
That's honestly a great theory but If Guwon was only a hound, who exactly is he working for when he's acting as the judge and executioner of the community? Everyone is on edge around him since the beginning. That's why he's the closest to teach, bc Guwon knows the people in his community fear him.
He couldn't have possibly started it but I think he IS the leader of the community now. Also most times in the chapters he referred to teach as some kinda dog, or his favorite "puppy". So I feel like in this sense, Guwon thinks the community is his loyal dogs, that he cares and looks after for. While he's Sisyphus who's stuck in an endless loop of trying to build a 'peaceful' community from the hellhole they're in.
But I think ur backstory makes a lot of sense regarding how he acts like a guard dog instead of an actual leader. He might've been a super bodyguard for the millionaires.
Guwon is not a hound. They're separate people. This manwha is heavily based on greek mythology. Even the part where people bascially stopped dying was part of the Myth of Sisyphus. Sisyphus cheated death by fooling the Gods and one of the Gods he enraged was Hades. And Hades was known for having a very big three headed hound named Cerberus. Cerberus job is to basically keep the dead from leaving the underworld, basically his job is to ensure people like Sisyphus don't escape.
My guess is the hounds, rather than them being Guwon's underling, they're basically the ones who's making sure he does his job. Guwon is most likely just a figurehead, someone they tricked into thinking that he's doing what's best for the people but actually he's only really collecting people and supplies that would be useful to the ones who are actually running the town. One of the obvious signs that the hounds are actually more superior than Guwon is they're supposedly first priority in terms of supplies. And the fact that Guwon only really saves useful people. He's not really trying to create a safe haven but a functional society that will benefit the owners of the town. I remember in the beginning the doctor said they needed the original owners and mc thought if that meant otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to stay.
Ah these are just theories.
My ape ooga-booga brain can't tell yet whet the fuck is true or not, but I'm so invested. I actually wonder if Guwon in his pursuit to build a community that will survive an apocalyptic world. Have had to kill the people he's watched over and find another replacement for their role again and again.
Also ik he's pretty much a blank characters, who's practically learning how to be human. But how the fuck did he thought of ending people he deems of 'no use', cuz ngl I feel like what the doctor said about his family is true. In their first meeting, Guwon would've killed teach if he didn't knew he didn't need him. Even if there are kids in the community, it might've been for a different purpose for Guwon.
AND THE BIGGEST FUCKING QUESTION I HAVE IS— What made him start the community in the first place? if he's supposed to be a blank slate, I feel like Guwon on his own wouldn't have been the one to dig that idea in his head especially that he has no memories. He's more than capable to survive on his own in that apocalypse so why did he make the community?
Actually Guwon reminds me of a Frankenstein monster, not entirely but in a sense. He's inhumanly strong, he doesn't remember a life before the apocalypse, he's not familiar with morality, he does everything for the 'survival' of the community he's creating like it's his whole purpose. Makes me wonder if he's an experimentation, or he might've been a past soldier or criminal idk. I just know he would've most likely killed his way to acquire that place that are practically a safe zone for millionaires, and he was successful.
