i’m on chapter 77 but who is the ml????? at first, i thought it was chan, bc you know, black hair + quiet/serious always wins at the end. then the sussy actor baka came into the picture so i thought hey ok i don’t like him, but he’s handsome and mysterious so maybe HE is the ml. but then there’s this whole thing of daejun damn well knowing sihyeon is hajin and basically flirting with him after years of celibacy and repressed homoeroticism. what????
not much of a spoiler, but just in case ^^
i’ve read most of the novel, but i really love how fleshed out moondae and ahyeon’s relationship is in the manhwa, it’s illustrated so well and you can always tell how much moondae loves ahyeon (sorry im a moondae x ahyeon shipper so i’m analysing this through bl tinted glasses) because in moondae’s pov (and photography) ahyeon is literally fucking glowing like an angel. it’s like how that moondae fan views moondae.
and it’s cute how consistent moondae is when it comes to complimenting ahyeon’s visual, he’s so consistent that he brings up how attractive ahyeon is at least once in every chapter that they’re together lol. to think that moondae wanted to cut ahyeon off in the beginning but found himself getting protective of ahyeon, like the stock liquidation chapter moondae was like “who tf made you guys sad? they’re dead to me” and in a later arc where he deals with ahyeon’s bully personally. so cute, even if he won’t admit it, he loves ahyeon and keunse so much
i have a lot to say about moondae and keunse relationship too but that’s a whole nother story lol. this post is just to appreciate how beautiful ahyeon and moondae’s relationship is. it’s crazy to think that if moondae did not intervene, ahyeon would’ve never flourished and debuted after idol inc. it says a lot how much moondae affected ahyeon’s life and even his self esteem.
the same age line trio dynamic rly makes me cry, like during the sanitary pad scandal neither of them even once thought that moondae was a perpetrator and i love the way the manhwa highlights how close the three of them compared to the rest. they knew how to effectively deal with moondae when he had his crash out and moondae just LISTENS to them without hesitation. it’s so heartwarming seeing how much they care for each other and how well they know each other.
mc is not morally good. he is quite literally one of the more grey leaning/neutral mc’s i’ve read. he doesn’t care about saving everyone or to invoke justice (though he does want majority of players to survive but that’s for his own benefit). he has no issue pulling others into his mess as long as it benefits him aka when he ordered douche bully to break the crystal.
while mc doesn’t have a strict moral code, but he is extremely vengeful lolol especially revolving people harming his brother, or monsters who commit heinous crimes like the school killer and the guy who harmed his lil bro like mc did not let that shit slide. mc’s character is actually quite interesting bc he goes out of his way to help people as long as it benefits him in the game and is very level headed about dealing with human affairs (though this is his 100th round so not surprised that he’s desensitized). if you can benefit him in some way or if you are innocent, he will help you, and if you’re a criminal, he offs you no questions asked. he’s a bit black and white in that way.










i was DEVASTATED when mc went back to his floppy hairstyle Σ(っ°Д °;)っ bring back his fluffy louis hair…it suits him so well….
on that note, i really appreciate how his hair changes with each role he plays, it’s a small detail but it’s really good
