I'm glad red-haired hoe turned out to be after Taesung's wealth and not him himself. Makes it easier to dismiss his ass.
I've got to say, I absolutely adore Qu Cheng. Yakuza/delinquents are my kink, and Cheng-Cheng has more than proven his cold-blooded capabilities. Coupled that with his unbridled passion and single-minded devotion for Ci Niang as well as his silly, fatherly warmth towards Wuo-Wuo, the gap in his personality is absolutely to moe-die for. 10/10 ML persona.
I just wish this wasn't a Chinese manhwa so it wouldn't be censored to the high heavens, lol. Too bad it'll stay a shounen ai rather than develop into yaoi.
Everyone's backstory and motives lined up well (incredible storytelling, author-nim) except for Marc's imo.
According to Marc himself and all supernaturals, he was led to believe he was "in love" with... Gwen(?) Gertrude(?) due to the deceptive spell from Lilith. It must be difficult to see a "loved one" burned in front of you, but that doesn't explain Lee Sihyun's "hatred" against Dohyun(?). Why would he go out of his way to seek revenge against him when he wasn't actually in love with her? That was the only lingering loose end for me.
Other than that, it was an incredible journey. So happy to go along for the ride. I was worried it'd turn into some kind of black-or-white moral justice dilemma, but the ambiguity was maintained nicely throughout.
I'll leave some room for doubt for some of you just in case you haven't read the prequel, "Azami." That being said, it's saddening seeing the lack of empathy towards Kan for some of you.
I understand that DV is a sensitive topic that is a reality for some of us and our loved ones. Abuse is never justifiable, and it gets even harder to empathize with Kan seeing the severity of the violence he inflicted upon Yumi.
However, solely blaming Kan for his actions would be a moral contradiction for some of you. The same people who are crucifying him are the ones painting Yumi to be faultless because he is a victim of abuse. If we go with that (understandably, victims shouldn't be blamed), then Kan shouldn't be painted into some horrible monster either. He was physically, mentally, and sexually abused by his coworkers and fiscally burdened by his family for at least 3-5 years before turning violent against Yumi.
Again, that doesn't justify abuse. I implore the people who blindly hate Kan to take a step back and realize he is also a victim of abuse. If not to forgive, but to empathize.
I started off with reading Kan's story, so I went into Yumi's story with empathy for the former instead of the other way around. I was certainly disheartened by the severity of the abuse Yumi endured. Still, after reading this prequel and Yumi's story, it's pretty clear that he would've left Kan with or without the abuse. He never let go of his middle school sweetheart even through all of his years with Kan. That being said, I guess the theme of this series has to do with reconciling the past with the present.
I absolutely adore it when authors can express passion and adoration between couples without having to explicitly "say" it through words and dialogue. The subtle glances, expressions, and actions between the two men were more than enough to convey that message. They oozed with sensual maturity.
Personally, I don't like saying "I love you" often because I feel that "cheapens" my words. Everyone is different, of course, but it was nice for me to see this reflected in this story.
Didn't we move past Zeng LiLi as the main antagonist 80 chapters ago? Let that bitch stay there lmao. There was no reason to bring her back out sm
Sis, when I tell you I hollered when I saw the unsolicited uncensored penis I-
I've been seeing so many light sabers lately I got completely comfortable with them. Such a shock seeing a full-colored shlong I tell ya.
lmao I was shocked too
I went into this story with a light heart, expecting similar tropes from other reincarnation/isekai stories that I've read before. Definitely wasn't expecting this level of storytelling. I shed a tear when Blood and Marie entered the cycle of rebirth.
1. Africa is not a country. "India, China, U.S., and Africa" is not an equivalent list. Yikes.
2. The Donald absolutely wouldn't have the capability and prowess to negotiate deals like in this manhwa, lol.
3. The "How dare a yellow monkey call a black person a slave" moment. What the hell was that.... Just had to smh.
Your first two points are absolutely dumb. They never said Africa is a country and just bc the Donald in real life is dumb doesn’t mean the one in the manga has to be but I agree with you on the third point completely unnecessary
My second point was a joke. My first point is valid: they absolutely called Africa a country. They brought the continent up when they were referring to countries that had tier 3 dungeon breaks. This isn't the first time I've seen manhwa artist refer to Africa as a country either so I'm just astounded at the ignorance.
I guess your right abt the first point but for my own sanity I’m gonna awesome they meant a lot of tier 3 dungeons were scattered across Africa and sorry I feel like a downer
Oh nah you're good! I could've made my comment with a lighter tone too.
