That seems like an awful drug. Why the fuck would anyone take that?? It makes you cold, gives you shortness of breath, and makes you hallucinate. Seems more like a drug withdrawal than a high. And $800 is INSANE for a drug that basically turns you into a junkie with minimal reward. NO drug costs that much, wtf!
Side note, I notice this a lot - in anime and manga/manhwa where drugs are shown or mentioned, it's always blatantly obvious that the author has never done or been exposed to drugs. Which is a good thing, but I wish they'd do more research on drugs before writing about them, because when their drug knowledge is based off of what they see in movies/read in comics, then you end up with insane shit like this.
Yeah, it's a weird thing for me to focus on, but it feels like lazy writing in a story that's made me have to suspend my disbelief on quite a few occasions. That being said, I do still really like it thus far. Reading it on tappytoon because I felt bad, having read 3 other stories by this author for free.
As I writer I totally agree with you on the first hand knowledge part. I never try to write about things I haven't either experienced first hand or done WAY too much research on. Other writers don't agree, but it's something that you can most definitely take you out of the story. Like K3 being known as "Kill 3", where you get weird hallucinations, but kinda makes you horny, but also cold and hellish, and ppl are all addicted to this drug because it's so...horrible? Ngl, that was sus.
Yeah, I'm the same way. And this is how it should be for all writers. Even in genres like Fantasy, plot points and character behavior still need to be believable and tethered to reality.
What kind of stuff do you write?
No cos I don't want to get a caught up on random things but I thought this too, not necessarily the price but how there was nothing to gain from actually taking the drug like why would someone take something that would make them hallucinate and fear for their life. And yes I do think that authors do not know what drugs do if they're writing like this because I'm just so confused by the interpretation of a substance like this.
For the longest time I wrote mostly from personal experience, but recently I've been getting into more fiction and having fun with it. I love creating worlds and in depth characters. It's fun to let them tell me what they wanna do, and when I'm writing sometimes 6 hours will go by without even noticing!
How about you, what do you write?
I feel like Shinje could have EASILY saved Heeseong as well.
"Due to lack of evidence he was found guilty"...what?
I haven’t read yet, but skimming the comments- looks like uke was a very poor artist who unknowingly took some commissions to make paintings… that turned out to be reproductions of actual crime scenes. The fact that he didn’t know those were real crime scenes somehow got him suspected or something? Like he wasn’t the one who did the crime. Knowing how the crime scene looked was accidental. Not sure. Anyone who’s actually read, feel free to clarify.
Anyway it means, “due to a lack of evidence to support his innocence, he was found guilty”
Ohhhhh. What a weird, weird way to phrase that.
Skip this if you're reading it for the cover, it's super misleading. Neither of the two stories are in the fantasy genre. And the second story, aside from being completely nonsensical, jumps around too much.
Holy fuck, this is so good so far! The artwork is amazing, and I love the story and characters! It kinda reminds me of Fate Makes No Mistakes, but I think this one might be even better! I really like the dynamic between the two main characters. I like this enough that from ch. 9 and onwards I've started reading it on its official site. If anyone else is interested, it's called "Dreaming of the Dokkaebi" on Tappy Toon.
Man, it's going to be rough waiting for weekly updates. I don't normally start reading anything that has less than 50 chapters out for this reason, but the artwork and story seemed so compelling that I couldn't help myself.
Aww, the last couple chapters were so nice. I was nervous after he said he was staying with Noyeol, but I'm happy his friends got through to him. Oh and that scene where Boguk, Noa, and Sujo are each talking to him in seperate panels, that part was so beautiful it almost had me in tears.
Ch 76 - a bunch of the pages are in the wrong order. And now I'm wondering how many other chapters are messed up.
I miss this so much! Anyone know what's going on with season 2?
I was hoping they'd finally get to fuck. Though, it was a little bit underwhelming, and I was hoping Heongjae would be just a tiny bit nicer.
