I love the bad @ss last panel. “They don’t like it? Take another? 'Cause I can.” It’s so refreshing.
I’m genuinely curious whether the zombies will do better from eating him alive:
A) While resisting B) While tied up C) While injured D) While being suspended upside down by his own intestines… gosh, there are so many options I want to try.
I was once in a car wreck, after falling asleep at the wheel. My pet had died the night before. I had watched him die; likely from heart failure, due to old age. He was suddenly in pain. He suffered for a few moments and then died. I cried the whole night. I was exhausted by morning. But reality doesn’t stop just because you’re tired.
I headed out. Then, about an hour later, my SUV rolled over on the highway, rolled off the highway, rolled into a tree, and broke in half- with me in it…
Even excluding the damage from the tree (the tree hit the side of the car, tearing through the backseat), the SUV’s roof + its windshield were crushed and the glass was shattered- but due to safety glass it was intact- kind of like a shattered phone screen.
Point being- that van in the previous chapter is way too intact. It was side impacted by a massive truck, then flipped up into the air, then dropped on its roof. Where’s the impact damage?
I still don’t understand his hair going from blond to black. While I’m aware that blond hair darkens with age, it usually wouldn’t turn from blond (at that age) to black. At most it might turn light brown. For it to turn black, the hair should have started to darken a lot sooner.
I was born with platinum blonde hair but now, as an adult, I’m ash blonde. My mother was born with blonde hair that later turned black, but her hair was already brown by the time she was a toddler. I’ve honestly never heard of someone whose hair only began to darken at the age of this character. Is it an eastern thing?
Or did he dye it to fit in? I must have missed that part.
Didn’t know this series had so many Twilight fans. Never read it. Now I think I never will. Thanks everyone for the heads up. My sanity has been spared from unnecessary pedo style, K-drama level, BS thanks to your comments.
There are two bone china sets of “a cup and saucer”, made by Noritake, for sale on ebay, that are based on this series, “A gentle noble’s vacation recommendation” (that’s the actual name of this series). They’re around $160 US dollars, and I can’t find a trace of their existence elsewhere.
If anyone can recognize the family crest displayed on the teacup, please let me know who it represents. I’m really curious, but I don’t feel like rereading the entire series just to find out. Also, please let me know if there’s an official store website selling these. I couldn’t find them on the official Noritake website (they only had “my neighbor totoro”).
Why am I unsatisfied? I can’t precisely place the reason… something along the lines of “the ending was sh*t”, or “the pacing was sh*t”, or “the sudden spontaneous romance between MC and ML was achieved like sh*t”, or “the villain lacking a believable motive for the severity of his villainy was lame as sh*t”, “the relationships in this series being the result of plot armor was sh*t”, “the feeling like the author couldn’t figure out a decent ending and gave up two episodes ago, as a reader this makes me feel like sh*t for reading this sh*t”, and finally…
…my final evaluation: there is more sh*t in this series than any other ingredient. I’m frustrated at how sh*tty it makes me feel that I continued reading all these sh*t episodes, just to arrive at this sh*t ending, that the author pulled, as some kind of sh*t cop-out, just adds a sh*t topping to the steaming pile of sh*t series… well sh*t. It just bothers me, you know?
ME: At the beginning of chapter 62: “Is it wrong that I keep wondering where his nipples went?”
It’s annoying how none of the comments, in the section that should be summarizing this series, bother to actually summarize anything. They all focus ENTIRELY on this series being related to another series. Too many details about who shows up in the related series. Yet nobody considers that readers might want to start with this series, or ONLY read this series (without the other one). Would it kill anyone to give an actual plot summary? It seems it would.
I read this years ago. Honestly, I loved this series. It felt real, in the sense that it felt human. The characters weren’t perfect. They had flaws. They could be selfish and wrong, without being evil.
I was happy that they could still turn back, from how wrong they’d been, because they could recognize their mistakes and regret them (not just regretting what their wrong behavior had cost them). It shows that the characters had morals, and a conscience.
Well, technically “cummed” IS past tense… but no. Cum is an irregular verb. Thank you.
Where did this “holy power of God” vs “long hidden evil” final-showdown come from? While I don’t doubt it flew in out of left field, someone please explain why? What was the point?
There are so many better ways reach the game world’s ending than to spontaneously kill off our mc, after spontaneously granting saint powers to a side character, so she can spontaneously summon a Godly holy sword, while spontaneously granting holy knight powers to the prince, so he can try to kill his love rival who spontaneously became the embodiment of evil, resulting in our mc saving his @ss with a spontaneous love confession… did I miss anything?
And why are both participants on the good side so fine with killing their friend, without trying to look for alternative means first…?
Also, why is the plot jumping around like some drunken fool playing hopscotch?
I feel like the death of the second prince/villain was kinda slapped on, and moved on from, at an unnatural speed. Also felt like the second prince’s obsession with annoying his older brother was unnatural. If it was psychotic then it should have been made clear, but if not, then the lengths the second prince went to just to annoy his older brother were bizarre. I could see it being reasonable if second prince was after the throne, but he was after an unhappy expression on his big bro’s face? So much so, that he could die happy just from seeing it?
Not to mention, the second prince being able to hide the existence of an entire tower, to the point of erasing memories, while creating an unnoticed aversion to the exact location- like ain’t nobody ever walked straight into that invisible sh*t- is incredibly overpowered… but why not use such op ability before? Like all he’s trying to do here is piss off his bro. I seriously feel like that ability, its lack of prior results, and the whole premise of the second prince’s obsession with being a pain in the ass, is the result of plot armor.
Finally, saving the best for last, our mc wasn’t attracted to any of the available love interests at all. He was avoiding romantic relationships with ALL the characters, then suddenly he’s in love…?
Pacing, where art thou?
Cute pitiful batbat only has a moldy fruit. It is so delicious. The rotten fruit is sooo sweet. But that’s pitiful. Batbat deserves a fresh fruit. Will you give batbat a fresh fruit?
~PLEASE SELECT A FRESH FRUIT~
Option 1: Pineapple
Option 2: Tomatoe
YOU HAVE SELECTED TOMATO FOR BATBAT
…Are you evil?
There are a lot of series that don’t receive the “tragedy” tag until after the story is completed. It’s like the authors realize that they’d lose over half their possible audience if they did that. So instead it gets dumped on us like a bombshell at the end. It always fills me with rage towards the authors. The characters may not be real living beings with feelings, but what about me? (╬￣皿￣)凸
Given the yellow tint that appears on the wall, surrounding the lamp (warm color glow), I just can’t quite understand what inspired the author to pick that vampiric shade of undead white for their skin tones.
In the beginning, mc states that he died 3 times just trying to escape the slave dealers. Then later he quotes things he did in other lives, but they all contradict each other’s time lines. Nothing makes sense when he’s died way more than 6 times…
Why do ALL the male characters have melon shaped abdomens, below the navel, as if each and every one of them were in the early stages of pregnancy?
Isn’t the captain’s first guide Hyoseop?
We saw, in a brief flashback, that hyoseop has been a guide since his early teens/preteens (some old man had his arm around hyoseup’s shoulder and was giving him guide related advice).
We also know the SS dungeon last opened 10 years ago. Assuming hyoseup’s age and doing the math, it fits.
We know our blond potty mouth captain is stronger than the other S class members. He’s prob SS class. We know the guild leader that took charge of the SS dungeon, 10 years ago, was also SS class. Had a few S class guild members that went with him.
We know the C class poser-guild is aiming to go back to the SS dungeon to retrieve something that isn’t an esper, so it’s probably a guide.
We know hyoseup has flashbacks of causing an esper to “begin” a rampage. We know that guiding an esper who is rampaging should be impossible.
What if hyoseup’s one time of guiding “beyond his limits” was caused by guiding that rampaging esper? What if it wasn’t the esper that died, but hyoseup? What if that erased the mark from his esper? But only damaged his own mark? People can survive death with CPR, etc.
What if the highly compatible guide that our blond potty mouth captain killed in the past was Hyoseup? What if hyoseup simply didn’t die?
Plus, Hyoseop has also mentioned being confined for so long. What if he was trapped in the SS dungeon for 10 years and now all his old guild mates are trying to save him, or at least retrieve his remains?
But they went and changed their identities, so prob don’t look alike. I’m sure they have different names now. Meanwhile, 10 years has passed since they’ve seen hyoseup. Plus they think he’s still trapped in the dungeon. Then think- that hyoseup was probably adopted when he was brought to America. Chances are, they knew him by an American name.
So a “hyoseup” who’s not in the dungeon, and ten years older, meets secretive guild members using false identities = no one recognizes anyone.
I’ve never read the novel for this series. I also only picked up this series recently, so I’ve never read the version with different art. As a new reader, this series seems good.
The art isn’t bad at all. I’ve seen way worse art. This series is a far cry from having bad art. The plot is fun to read. It’s something new to me.
I don’t feel like this series overlaps with orv any more than any other story with gates in it would. The mc in orv doesn’t even start off as a constellation. It’s something he manipulates in order to achieve. There isn’t bl on the orv webtoon so far. (Haven’t read the novel- does it become bl?) orv also has way more characters.
The readers of the novel need to consider not hating on a perfectly good webtoon just because it doesn’t match their perception of the novel.
Example- I enjoyed the American animated movie “The secret of Nimh” but it was nothing like the original book it was based off of. Nonetheless, the movie was still good. It won awards, and was nominated for several more.
But for those who liked the original book, the movie was trash.
I feel like this webtoon is the same. It’s not a bad webtoon at all. There’s just that a bunch of novel fans who are determined to hate on it. The people who hate the art are those who liked the original art style. The whole series was redone in the current art style though. So the quality isn’t going down, it’s just changed to a different style.
AGAIN this is my opinion as someone who never read the novel and is only familiar with the current art style.
