Cheongryeo is just so creepy! I've felt it from the start. His eyes are so dead and dull. They're not full of life. Maybe it's because he has been regressing again and again everytime something goes wrong. Making everything perfect is just impossible. Did he get obsessed with regressing? #-.-)
even his puppies no longer help his emotional well-being and only cause him problematic rumour
i really love how this regression thing feels so fresh because of the non action-fantasy / dungeon/rpg genre. like... cheongryeo feels so much more eerie and tragic compared to most other regressors—exactly because the life setting is our normal, usual life.
If I was him then I would've slapped Hayan two or three times already. That woman always ruins his plans with her yandere personality. I even felt bad for the dark mage, she really did have best wishes for Hayan in her heart but Hayan went ahead and misunderstood the whole situation and out of nowhere tortured the poor girl and even plucked out her eye. I won't say the MC wasn't at fault for overreacting and over exaggerating everything but still!!
