they reveal some special ass reason later; that mom was a fool and a failure
she had all the skills to fuck off from that estate with her daughter and live an amazing (bare minimum; decent) life - a life without subjecting her kid to that hell. but, nope. just stays in hell and teachers the daughter her skills and makes her keep it secret. author better explain this, lol. i can't fully pity a character when this is the setup.

young hoon be p fuckin annoying sometimes.

Honestly in those cultivation novels there's always a bunch of items that reshape meridians and dantian and whatever... and I bet the place they were at would have at least 1...
Even if he followed the same till that guy teleported them elsewhere... I'd at least try a whole bunch of different careers... I'd practice martial arts for health but I'd try to live as many different lives as possible... and frankly... he's too obsessed with cultivators... in a bad way... Ik the point is perseverance over talent but... there's a difference between persistence and stubbornness... and to me this feels more like the later...

honestly. cuz like bros basically immortal already but it's like instead of enjoying the in-between with 50 year resets; he wants to become a cultivator for a looooong long life??? because what other reason is there, really? you're either pursuing strength or immortality by obsessing over that path. it's not like his life, by human standards, is short so it isn't as though he's leaving people he'd miss behind unfairly? so unless it's purely the 'you said i can't so i'm going to dedicate my all to proving you wrong' trope (which is kind of like......how have you not moved past being 5?) it's gotta be one of the former

The only motivation I saw him give is that he wants to break this eternal loop... and his best chance is going back... but again... he'd have more chance by exploring that place than trying to updo? Cultivators or whatever he is doing... all in all I agree... mc doesn't seem as wise as someone that's ih their 4-5th life...
i will be so mad if he ends up with the alpha only. bro been over here like /no i don't want that; i have you~ what else do i need~?/ and then he goes and bangs baek again. /why would you suggest that; i only need you. how could you do this sort of thing to me?/ STARTS DATING AND SLEEPING WITH BAEK ON THE REGULAR. like, the hypocrisy of wooyeon or w/e. too annoyed to remember his name. kangsshi. yeah, beta seoyoon is wrong in a lot of ways and he was also like 'i don't care who you sleep with' but immediately made it obvious /he does/ and kept "pushing them together" but like this poor dude is a beta with an omega. he didn't start this this time. wooyeon is the one who fucked up calling the wrong person and baeksshi is the one who was like 'welp i'm here so~' /that shit set this is motion./ but somehow seoyoon is the only one taking the blame while wooyeon just half assedly blames baeksshi and then falls back into bed with him AGAINNNNNN. and then he marks him /against his will./
i cannot. if this isn't ending in 3p legit ass poly or just wooyeon and seoyoon sorting their shit and staying together (BUT NOPE; ALPHA PHERAMONES RUINED THAT ONE. GJ YOU TWO.) imma be so damn disappointed. like sooyeon defs needs to work his shit out but also, as a beta who can't do certain things for the omega he is with; HIS STRUGGLES BE UNDERSTANDABLE. he might be a fucking insecure fool but it kind of feels like wooyeons pretty dismissive of it. he acts like he isn't but then he goes and creates messes. like i need the backstory till this point because /what exactly led sooyeon to try and set him up with an alpha once before?/ is it purely his own insecurities or is it just that wooyeon, synopsis describing as a beast omega, really needs more than he could provide?
sorry for the rant but like it's driving me insane and seeing people cheering for wooyeon to end up with baeksshi has me thrown
