Shit, author’s giving up on keeping ‘Hikaru’ exclusively an incomprehensible eldritch horror, ch 38.3 is like them negotiating with that concept that they philosophically dug into and explored meticulously in the beginning, like likening human’s comprehension of things ‘Hikaru’ likes to that of the understanding of cats enjoying kneading, we can never truly understand it beyond it being an indication of contentment and an activity they enjoy. There could never be an overlap of such deep understanding of sensations between humans and entities such as ‘Hikaru’, ‘Hikaru’ could never understand the concepts of love and death like humans do. But ch 38.3 shows the author moving on from it into monsters and humans can both change, everyone can change. I guess it makes sense, if we stuck with ‘Hikaru’ forever being an incomprehensible eldritch horror (which I found refreshing) then there is no more character development for it. Or maybe they could have done something with the profound loneliness they gave him, something other than Yoshiki being the only one where ‘Hikaru’ doesn’t feel so lonely. *sigh* Let’s see if they do anything new with the humanizing the monster trope.
I like the way his character arc is progressing but I’d have to agree with you. It’s not necessarily groundbreaking work. I am really excited to see Yoshiki’s character progression though. I think it would be pretty neat if they parallel Hikaru’s positive character arc with a negative one for Yoshiki. Like, what if he continues abandoning his morals because he wants to stay in support of Hikaru, but in the end he ends up becoming more of a monster and unrecognizable to the actual entity itself. That would be pretty cool ╥﹏╥
… is ch 48 a thinly veiled propaganda for some age is just a number, you love who you love, you never get over first love type shit???? I’m not down with that so I guess I gotta ignore it damn
Never have I read smut less appealing… also I did not expect this story to have multiple parts where I have to just stop reading and take a second to get my bearings because of how cringe it is…
Why in the actual fuck are there a bunch of dumbass homophobes in the goddamn comment section?????????????????????
they gave my boy blondie a proper backstory finally, you all love him now but he had no depth and was too perfect before. What you are all forgetting is that we still don't know Hae il's backstory and all of y'all will probably shift your opinion of him too once his backstory is elaborated on (i don't know his backstory I'm just hypothizing), also man boob cleavage
Nah. If you need a backstory for me to like you, that just means you need an excuse for your behavior. That's not right at all
I didn’t like blonde because he had no personality or motives other than our mc before we got into his backstory (which honestly isn’t great writing from the author’s side)
Author from ring my doorbell!!! It’s going to be really really good guys!!!
