now, THIS is journalism
It’s my second time, making a timeline for a series on mongago. It always feels so satisfying after I complete a series timeline. Makes me wonder if I should post any of my other timelines on this site.
this is so cool, thanks!!!!
you're doing good work
Oh my ghad. This investigative skill is soooooo good. Bro be honest, are you a detective IRL?
- In chapter 1 we learn that the baby girl is 3 months old.
- Soon after moving in, the mc begins plowing an overgrown field.
- Later in the series the baby girl grows her first tooth (ends up in the ER for bleeding gums and a fever) (babies get their first tooth between the ages 4 to 7 months)
- A few chapters later, our mc harvests scallions and lettuce from the field he plowed before (scallions take 50 to 60 days to grow from seed)
- Afterwards a harvest festival is held. It’s probably Hansik, which occurs in April. Chapter 50 occurs soon after. We find out from the ML that chapter 50 is right after the harvest festival. The ML questions if it’s normal for rain to fall that much in early summer. (No idea why the translator chose the Roman holiday Saturnalia as the festival’s name. That’s the December holiday for worshiping Saturn the Roman god of harvest [Saturn= Zeus’s father Kronos in Greek].)
- Since winter hasn’t happened in this series yet, we can assume ch 1 occurs in early spring. 60+ days (length of scallion harvest plus time needed to clean up trash/weed/till the field) prior to Hansik would be around the first week of February.
- ML’s dad appears over many chapters following ch 50. Ch 50 takes place in early summer (June). So we probably are somewhere in mid June currently.
The baby should therefore be close to 8 months old.
