I found such a gem I don't regret clicking on this manhwa It's been a long time since I've been so invested on a bl manhwa before, I love how the audience is uncovering puzzles of the story with the main character little by little, in other stories about memory loss I feel that flashbacks are always shoved in your face and clues about what happened are so obvious but in this manhwa everything is such a mystery and the sense that not every character can be trusted. I'm glad there's a decent representation of SA in here, it's not romanticized, the r*pist doesn't get any redemption whatsoever and it presents the lasting trauma it has on the character (in other mangas/manhwas it gets brushed off) it doesn't feel like it was used for shock value but actually served a main purpose to the story. While I'm not a fan of the typical BL builds (Twink/ultra fem uke x Fridge build seme) I'm honestly giving a pass for this one just because the romance they have makes up for it, the male lead is just so RESPECTFUL and so gentle with him and I honestly can't wait to see how they met and how they started falling in love

Bro what did uke deserves to get this treatment and life just cuz of greedy people around him fuck them all especially seme can rot in hell

Just finished reading the novel and the strange thing is that I ended up loving hyun woojin for the entirety of vol 2.i was wary of him all thru out vol 1 but rooted for him so hard for the rest of the novel.
As for the mc,I like him in thep early chaps but he went downhill so fast as soon as his relationship with woojin was official .He was annoying wen they were in a relationship ,annoying wen woojin broke up with him,annoying wen they made up,still annoying wen he broke up with woojin.
To conclude,woojin's redemption arcs was the best written out of all asshole seme redemption arc . Moreover,oddly,I felt he was the most rational character in the novel.lol.I have this feeling that,if the characters ,taeshin and hayoung 's storyline were painted as a villain's in a k drama,you'd end up hating them.
Best character:the dark skin k- amer,kim jaeshin ,woojin's dead fiance mother and mc's step mother

SO I've been researching a lot because I love Greek Mythology. Sisyphus was a king in Ancient Greece whose city looked a lot like "Stillwater Town". Sisyphus's castle was at the very top of the mountain, while everyone else lived in rings circling the top going down (just like in this town). He was incredibly clever, vain, and ruthless - he thought himself to be on the same level as Zeus, and we all know what happens when someone comes for the throne.

Little time skip, but let's just say Sisyphus got in trouble with Zeus, Hades and Persephone for tricking them and skirting death on multiple occasions. In the main part of his myth, he conned Thanatos (basically the Grim Reaper) into chaining himself to a rock, thereby creating a "no more death" type situation. This pissed off Ares, who eventually freed Thanatos and sent Sisyphus to the underworld for Hades to deal with, who punished him to push a boulder up a hill for eternity and enchanting the boulder to roll back down every time it'd reach the top.

There are so many parallels between the Myth of Sisyphus and The Hounds of Sisyphus that it's definitely worth a second read. If you know the myth you'll be able to see all the references to it in the manhwa, like in the beginning when people just stop dying out of nowhere. Then in Chapter 1 we see Guwon's hand as he climbs up from underground, and when we see him taking Jinwoo on a very long hike only to stare at a boulder sitting on top of a mountain in the distance - he says "I just like to come back and make sure it's still there".

The parallels are all really interesting - the only thing I can't quite figure out just yet is the character's memory lapse. I'm sure we'll find out more as we go on! I've got more, but I've already written so much - if you've made it this far thank you for reading!! ヾ(☆▽☆)

So I'm a literary nerd and a writer, and I've written a few posts on what I think is happening in this manhwa (you can read one here if you'd like https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/18942324/), but for the sake of brevity I'll just say that I think Guwon is actually the mythical Sisyphus himself, risen from the underworld after somehow getting that massive enchanted boulder up the enormous hill. I'm sure you've heard of the legend at least - the guy that was cursed to push a boulder up a hill for all eternity? That guy is Guwon - and he's trying to build a life after completing the worst punishment imaginable. He finally got the boulder up the hill somehow, and he checks on it routinely to make sure it's not going anywhere.

The final lines in The Myth of Sisyphus (by Albert Camus) are: "I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one’s burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

I think that's exactly what the author is doing in this manhwa - imagining Sisyphus as HAPPY! His memory has been wiped, and there are no longer battles to be waged. He's building his life anew and learning everything again - what people are all about and why they do the weird things they do. Like kissing - why do people put their mouths on each other's? To someone who doesn't know any better it would seem pretty gross - almost enough to make someone barf up their dinner! But after learning WHY they do it, the feeling is actually pleasant - something the'd like to do more and more.

A good question would be - "why tell this story in a yaoi webtoon?", and I think the answer is simple: Why the hell not? Let Sisyphus...I mean Guwon...be HAPPY!
