rlly wanted to read this (and it’s why it’s been on my list for so long) bc it seemed intriguing and the art is godly… but seeing the novel readers’ opinions abt how much the manhwa changed the characterization, i might pass up on this one the novel sounds so much better and consistent than the manhwa
you'll be missing out thoo. at least give it a 20-chapter try(╯︵╰,)
condolences to the author, the art was wonderful.
still can’t get over the state of their society and the general unfairness of life for the proto-hunters. but well lack of time probably, there was plenty invested in the world building during the first few chapters, but the side story was all sex
Ong, what? The author passed away??? Are you serious...?
yes sadly TT it was stated by the scanlation team in the final chapter of the side story. they said it was supposed to be longer but alas…
i love this story so much! it’s so heartwarming to see all of them live happy lives after all they’ve been through. my favorite part was definitely the characters ;( i think they were all written quite well and honestly quite realistically. this story shows the complexities of relationships and people alongside the simple things in life. each one of them had some sort of growth and were able to help and be helped by others
also i love that sohae went to therapy! this is the first time i’ve ever had my opinions about a character change so drastically. i went to hating her and cussing her out to loving her so much when we finally got to see things from her perspective.
her actions at the start were so frustrating and it was funny to see the other characters shut her shit down so quickly and then we learned why she turned out that way and even saw her get help for it normalize letting these characters go to therapy honestly there are so many characters i know who would benefit from it
i thought she’d be like internalized homophobia or she saw someone in seoul get bullied for being gay, but her entire reason is bc she felt “abnormal” bc her parents didn’t love her and thus compared it to the daddies being “abnormal” ????? did she think they’d feel the same as her ??
BYE i srsly thought she’d get character development now she genuinely just feels like a plot device but like, a rlly bad one bc she’s got ZERO meaningful contributions to the story.
i know she’s young, and probably went through some stuff in seoul (maybe her bf left her for another man, or she liked a woman and got harassed for it) BUT WHEW GIRL, i am seated for the inevitable lesson she’s gonna get slapped into her (hopefully)
ik his dad ended up horrible but damn that family photo made me so sad TT imagine what it could’ve been like if only the father had a normal job and didn’t need to be a criminal to protect and provide for his family
family angst 10/10
