DEVASTATED WE WONT GET SIDE STORIES OF THEIR CHAOTIC COHABITATION

If I was Yohan, I’d have just told Victor the truth after he shared his story.

I know that this is fiction so there’s no need to think too deeply about it but I still can’t get over the fact that his lungs are underdeveloped because he has a uterus. Like, the uterus is so small and no where near the lungs, even in fetal development!

At first, I was really happy that Jinu was portrayed as a great friend who listened to MC and took his concerns seriously. But now I’m sad that that author made him have feelings for MC because we know they’ll never get together

MY SHAYLAS HAVE RETURNED

I’ll be honest, I still feel bad for Gunner. He could have lived such a different life if only he didn’t get in his own way and let his inferiority complex get the better of him. I do hope in a different reality, he and Theo were able to make it and live a happy, loving life together.

So I noticed something really odd in chapter 24 when present day Jinwoo is recalling the day Guwon rescued him. The Jinwoo in the flashback who’s bandaged on the ground appears to be recalling the scene in chp1 where he’s on the truck with Guwon and being given water. Again not the present day Jinwoo in chp24, he’s recalling the memory. The Jinwoo in THAT memory is recalling being given water by Guwon on the truck. How the hell is he remembering that if it hasn’t happened yet? It’s the first time they ever met. Even if it’s not exactly the scene in chp1, he’s recalling a time when he was given water by Guwon in the truck. But if they’d never met before, how would he have a memory like that? I’ve been rereading the myth of Sisyphus to try to get some insight into the story. One of the things Sisyphus does is prevent the dead from staying dead. That connection is clear as the dead in this story don’t stay dead. But Sisyphus is best known for pushing the boulder up the hill repeatedly forever. I was trying to figure out that connection and I think I’ve got it. What if they’re all stuck in a time loop? Like a groundhog’s day situation. And the reason Jinwoo has two versions of meeting Guwon for the first time is because they both actually happened? He’s met Guwon multiple different times under multiple different circumstances. One time he saved him from burglars, one time he killed his dad, etc. they’re fated (or doomed) to always meet and the memories of each loop are starting to merge together for Jinwoo. that’s how it connects to the boulder: repeating the same things over and over

So in chp24, we see Jinwoo recalling the day he first met Guwon. I went back to re-read the prologue and chp1 and somethings just ain’t adding up. In the prologue, Jinwoo sees Guwon saving him from a burglar. But in chp24, Jinwoo remembers the day they met and now sees it as Guwon killing his dad. Now, it could be a case of him mixing up the order of events. In chp24, Jinwoo’s dad tells him that he took longer to return because he was running away from some burglars and we see a glimpse of him fighting them off. So the order of events could be that Jinwoo’s dad stole water from a group of guys (who might even have been the Hounds), returns home, fights off burglars, then is killed by Guwon and Jinwoo had those memories overlap and only saw it as Guwon saving him. But something still doesn’t seem right. For one thing, we don’t ever see the face of the corpse in the room with Jinwoo, not in the prologue/chp 1 nor in chp24. And more importantly, in chp1, we see Jinwoo’s family photo. While his mom’s face is mostly obscured, his dad’s face was completely shot out. So how does Guwon know who Jinwoo’s dad is and what he looks like? In fact, if the order of events is correct, when Jinwoo’s dad returns, he doesn’t call him son. He just refers to him as Jinwoo. And Jinwoo can barely talk, so he doesn’t call him dad either. So if Guwon was present, he has no idea that that’s his dad. Something seems odd about his dad as well. In chp24, we see the following sequence of events: 1) Jinwoo’s dad hits someone. 2) Jinwoo is on the floor bleeding. 3) Jinwoo’s dad bandages him. 4) Jinwoo says he’s thirsty. At first glance, it appears that his dad saved him from some people. But something still seems a bit off. I have a few theories about this.

1) The dead body we see in the prologue/chp1 and that Jinwoo is holding in chp24 isn’t his dad, but the person his dad killed. But if that’s the case, then where is Jinwoo’s dad?

2) Jinwoo’s dad doesn’t hit someone random person, but hits Jinwoo, causing the injury to his head. Why would he do that? Not sure. Maybe it was in a fit of delirium. Alternatively, notice that the guys running away in that panel are really afraid of something. They say “h-he’s not alone.” At first I thought they were talking about Jinwoo’s dad, but what if they were talking about someone else? What if they were talking about Jinwoo? What if something’s not right with Jinwoo? As in, what if he has this virus that’s causing people to become zombies or something of that nature? What if the dead body we see on the floor was actually a person Jinwoo viciously murdered? What if Jinwoo is like (or straight up is) one of The Hounds? Or a failed version of one? If so, then what if his dad hit him out of self defense? What if someone came to rob them while Jinwoo’s dad was gone so Jinwoo flipped out and killed one of the robbers. Then his dad returns and attacks him in fear while the other guys run away. And as a way to protect himself mentally, Jinwoo’s mind has locked away or misremembered the events leading up to meeting Guwon. That would explain why in chp2, he wakes up with the knife in his hand and no memory of attacking Guwon. It’s likely that he’s done similar things before and simply has no memory of attacking others. But the question remains, why?

ML’s intentions feel so impure I couldn’t even enjoy the chapter

But did Dan ever go back to college and get his degree????
