So the MC was transported into a book about a guy who transmigrated from the real world. Does that mean that Choi is actually from the real real world or the book’s “real world” which is really not the real world that the Mc is from?
i too wondered this for a long time.
for now you're not supposed to understand. it comes up way later in the novel. the details of kim rok soo's backstory are also explained way later. even in the novel, it just sorta drops you in w/o much background and it's all slowly revealed as it becomes relevant to the progression of the story. for now just go with it.
Expanding on this it's actually pretty amazing how well thought out everything is. Things that happen in the first couple chapters that seem mundane suddenly end up being relevant 300 chapters later. The author's really good at throwing in these great plot twists that don't feel like they were just dropped in because things were getting boring and predictable since the twists get foreshadowed so early.
So if you ever come across a piece of the story that feels a little weird keep it in mind because it might suddenly be relevant much, much later.
Such as the tree that was... SUPPOSED to turn white ༎‿༎ But yeah, this author is crazy good at introducing the smallest of details and then making them relevant in a way you wouldn't have even thought of until it the moment it actually gets revealed, and everything clicks togethet. Author-nim blows my mind constantly haha
So y’all who are hating on the queen, I get it. She’s being mean to the MC. But here’s the thing. She has a 0 tolerance policy for sexual harassment and she worries enough about her subordinates that she takes care of these matters herself. Not only that she LISTENS to both sides but does prioritize the victim (in this case the perceived victim is the woman) first. I would love to have her as my queen or an elected government official.
Just think about all the cases in real life where the police and judges harass the poor women who come forward saying things like “are you sure you didn’t want it? Cause you’re dressed like you do.” And shit like that.
Sure it was sad for the MC and I’m sad for the injustice but at the same time, the MC is a “male” who basically stripped an unconscious woman. Of course they were trying to save the woman’s life but imagine waking up to a guy having removed your top and loosened your bra. In such a conservative time period I’d have freaked out too— but of course, like the victim, would have done the right thing and given them the benefit of the. Doubt of them trying to save my life










Honestly good for him. The seme had rapey and pushy vibes all the time so not a loss there. I really hope the seme does some serious self reflection
yes he was too toxic
