The one page we got from the blacksmith sisters backstory/perspective was more interesting and in-depth from anything we’ve gotten from the protagonist. All of her bonds and motivations feel incredibly shallow, as well as her personality. People are loyal to her because (checks notes) she’s a cute little girl. That’s pretty much it. She has had literally zero genuine bonding moments with anyone, like she said ‘I’ll always be by your side’ to the ML: bro we have not seen a single scene where you have a true connection with him, it’s just shallow conversations.
I really want to like this story because the art is so good and it seems more feminist than the majority of stories, but it’s just so lacking in any substance.
Plus, the ML keeps calling the guy from the desert an ‘underdeveloped primate’. Yea, racism is sooo attractive.
I disagree with most part, but at the end I disagree the most. I think whether he'd come from the desert or ice fields or atlantis, ML would still call anyone near FL underdeveloped primate. It's just a general insult. Are caucasians not a primate too? Hey we are both primates. Insults are meant to be mean.
I never said that..????? And sure, people can say racist things without knowing or intending, but this is so not that. He didn’t call out Nyang’s skin tone, he was just being an ass in general because Nyang likes the FL and ML hates everyone who gets close to the FL.
Did you like read blind? ML is literally jealous of Nyang because the FL shows him more affection than she does to him (the ML). ML wants to be all of the FL’s firsts and onlys. That’s literally it. Again, you’re reading way too much into something that is not deep at all
In this chapter you can really see the subtle misogyny that’s prevalent in this genre. How the ML’s friend feels free to insert himself into her personal space (forcing her to lean back) upon first meeting her. How the ML feels free to physically stop her from speaking when she’s about to say something he doesn’t want her to say. It’s these small physical acts that say a lot when we pay attention.
Anyone else think Mr. Tang should’ve figured this out by now? Or at least considered the possibility. After all, he lives in the same world as He Gu, you’re telling me he’s never heard of this VR business thing? I understand He Gu has played dumb and acted like he’s in a cult or smth, but don’t you think the possibility should have at least crossed his mind?







Why did Mikaul feel the need to change Yul’s name to Yuri??
difference in accents. yul in korean is spelled and pronounced as yu-reu so he might've misheard it as yuri and pronouncing it as such.
