I knew it, the rules are there to keep Guwon from going berserk. I feel like he was experimented on and was brainwashed to think a certain way. In the myth of Sisyphus, he was punished by forever pushing up a boulder uphill. Guwon mentioned how he always watches the mountain thinking it was a boulder that would soon roll over Stillwater town so he has to keep watching. He knows how crazy that sounds but he can't help but think that way, as if his brain was programmed in a certain way. Likely the rich people who lived in stillwater town programmed him to think that way.
Smack the dick, since it's big it's gonna hurt extra. Maybe that'll put some sense into him. Why go for the head when you already know he got some thick ass skull? Bro is dumb as hell he needs someone to put some sense into him cause obviously the town's people are encouraging his insane af behaviour.
Oh wow, wtf. The fluff and smex distracted me for a bit, I forgot we in some post-apocalyptic world. That's wow.
I'm glad Kwonlim isn't the usual seme who just go berserk for no reason when their uke is clearly the victim, I was scared this incident would turn into a bigass misunderstanding, but Kwonlim proved he is a green flag even though he's white as a ghost
Double applause for the last comment lol!
Bish begone! Go away! MC just wanna live a happy life with his anemic/vampire boyfriend so fly away somewhere, to uranus cause youre an ass! I hope you get sucked into a black hole on the way! Hope you get no redemption arc, I hate you from the bottom of the pitless void i call heart, you manipulative, gaslighting sonofabish!
Love Gyuha, he really looks like he can murder him if he ever forces him to get an abortion. Also his body his choice, bish and he chose that baby, like even if its not your kid, how can you tell someone to get an abortion? I mean, I get you're jealous but fuck off man.
Am just here wondering how he still alive after all that
I feel like in this story, Guwon is both Zeus and Sisyphus. Because in the myth of Sisyphus, Zeus kidnapped Aegina and brought her to the island, which was then named after her. Guwon basically kidnapped Jinwoo and named the town stillwater just because Jinwoo suggested it. Aegina was also the Goddess of spring, which is a stillwater. In this sense, he is Zeus. But he is also Sisyphus because he mentioned thinking that mountain is a boulder that will eventually roll over and destroy the town so he has to keep an eye on it. Sisyphus was punished to push a boulder up the mountain for all eternity. In that sense, he is Sisyphus.
The problem with Guwon being Sisyphus is, Sisyphus is working with Aegina's father. Which means Guwon is working with Jinwoo's father, who seems to be the main cause of Jinwoo's PTSD. Which is probably why Jinwoo said in the beginning that Guwon's name means salvation but later he will find out that it was just his name. He's going to give Jinwoo back to his father.
But since Guwon is meant to be Zeus in this story, then he will also be the one that defeats Jinwoo's father. So he will betray him then save him again?
WOAH OKAY.
But isnt Jinwoo's father already dead??
Nope. Jinwoo mentioned his mom dying but didn't say anything about his father. All he said was him and his father wasn't there when his mother died.
There was also a part in the beginning of the story where Guwon saw a family picture, where Jinwoo and his mothers face were visible but his father wasnt, indicating that he is a key character that the author doesnt want to reveal yet.
I thought the title was a reference to how sisyphus cheated death since y'know, they're zombies-ish
Yep, that too. Like I said, I'm just overanalyzing things because of the title. And I don't think there's zombies because Sisyphus cheated death. The zombies reference is probably because Sisyphus in the myth actually caused a zombie apocalypse when he tied up Thanatos. Without Thanatos, people couldn't die, so there were just walking corpses everywhere.
Honestly it's the "hounds" part that got me intrigued, cause the title isn't "sisyphus," it's "the HOUNDS of sisyphus." So that means that sisyphus, or his story, isn't the central focus. We this see in the background, with the references and the zombies and everything. The characters aren't really meant to symbolize sisyphus but his hounds instead. So the question now is, what did the hounds do? (Also, i'm tweaking over the fact that it's houndSSSSSS, plural Σ(っ°Д °;)っ)
Ooooh hounds, yes we should focus on that. Actually, if I remember correctly, the people who owned the vacations were rich people who was part of a hunting club. And hunters often use hounds to help sniff out prey when theyre hunting. I remember the doctor saying that some of the original owner because they needed them and Jinwoo was a bit confused when he said that. Hunters controls the hounds, and since the residence seems a bit scared and wary of Guwon, they probably need the original owners to control him in case he went berserk.
If the original owners are Sisyphus then they probably wanted to cheat death so they conducted or sponsored an experiment to achieve immortality because rich people do what rich people do. Guwon was probably one of the people they experimented on.
Honestly this story be just smut disguised as plot but am really enjoying over analyzing everything
Oh my gosh i love this. It makes sense and also explains why guwon doesn't have "common sense." Keep rambling king/queen/my liege. I love analyzing stories!
Seems like Guwon isn't the hound from the latest chapter. There is actually a group they call Hounds in the manwha. So it seems he is actually Sisyphus.
Now that you mentioned it!
Yep, also the hounds are most likely the original residents of stillwater town. Because supposedly the millionaires living there were a group of hunters. And wnat kinda dog are hounds? Hunting dogs. Which is probably why they get first priorty when it comes to supplies.
I dunno why but i find it so funny that in stories like this the mc always gets so mad and angry over a freaking game like if my friends kill me in game for a million id be like understandable have a nice day. Id just start over, like its just a game and thats money dude. It would be different if its real life but its literally just a game
But it's not just a game; it is real life. In most stories like this, the game is literally the MC's job. It's their economic livelihood. Add in the betrayal of people the MC trusts, and the anger is completely understandable.
Saying they shouldn't get mad about it would be like saying someone shouldn't get mad that a colleague they trusted and were close to screwed them over, got them fired, and earned a major promotion as a result.
Because the game you were playing is just for fun while this kind of games are for making money online, not every game are for making friends and having fun
Your stand doesn't make sense because lots of people spend money on a game and devoted there lives on that singular game, so it's natural they would rage and feel annoyed that everything they build up is gone.
This is reality bro, what's make you think everyone can accept glitters and sunshine and just move on, you're clearly making a fool of yourself here. Betrayed, being used, being mocked what's make you think he will accept all that?
Ugh he's my typpppeeeeee where do I find one of him?!
