I’m not sure if Shavonne in chapter 25 (where he looks like an officer and told Lewellyn that he never loved him) is the same as the current Shavonne, so I have two theories.
1. Lewellyn liked Shavonne because he looked like his past lover (the officer Shavonne) since he looked like he got those scars on his back from somewhere, and said that he’s been through worse than execution and torture (and when he was thrown into the cell or whatever by the officer Shavonne, he had a lot of bruises). There was also a time where he conflicted self harm on himself (when the editor came to Shavonne’s house and complimented him) and didn’t wanna be “left alone again.” This kinda makes sense because if you think about it, Shavonne was a ordinary guy, who had no family or friends, to have Lewellyn pop out of nowhere and be interested in a guy who had no talents whatsoever other than publishing stories or writing stuff, is a bit suspicious.
2. This is the second theory, since we didn’t find out a lot about Shavonnes life during his early adult life, other than his childhood, he could have amnesia, and he could’ve had another job like being a police officer but got into an accident and it had an effect on his brain, convincing him that he was alone for most of his life and never had a lot of talents other than writing. This would explain why the therapist dude called Shavonnes his “patient,” and pretended to be his friend. (The story also never told us how they met too.) And Lewellyn, who was devastated but also took this as an advantage because Shavonne was lonely, and he thought that he could start over with him again.
These are just theories, but I just found chapter 25 to be a bit suspicious that’s all. You can add on or disagree with some things since I might’ve missed some details.
Man istg if Yohan gave Baal a choice to kill himself or the lion then I’m gonna dropkick this guy
Ngl I wish there wasn’t romance in this novel because usually in manhwas/manhuas, when there’s reincarnation involved, people tend to forget that the MC is 30-40 years old mentally even though they have a child-like body. People may say “Well you wouldn’t call him a pedo or creep if he didn’t remember his past life would you?” That’s exactly why it’s creepy, because the MC remembers everything in his past life, he has a mindset of an adult. Keep in mind if it wasn’t for Art’s physical body, and if he looked like an adult, you wouldn’t ship him with Tess. He is double the age of his friends and Tess and already knows what’s morally wrong. It would probably be fine if Tess was older but I still cannot imagine the MC being in love with anyone because he is from a different world with a huge age gap from everyone else. I am not saying Art is a pedo, because he doesn’t act sexually towards Tess or anyone else since he knows this is morally wrong currently. Idk, if there’s still romance later on I’ll probably drop it, I don’t really like reincarnation manhwas that has romance and when the MC has a body of a child’s. Just my opinion feel free to disagree, but I’m just saying that Art and Tess being shipped is just a little uncomfortable and creepy, but do what you want since this is the internet and it’s “fictional characters.”
Now that I look at it, if people can mind a 40-50 year old guy being in a child’s body then I’m sure Art x Tess is nothing
PLEASE STEP ON ME MAFIA GIRL
SHES SO PRETTY I CANT HSJSNSK :((
I honestly don’t get it, Lee Sangmin (blonde dude) said to the mc “If I give you 10 billion won, would you quit being a doctor?” Yet he stopped the mc from doing dermatology, what does this dude even want? He could’ve easily let the mc go and do dermatology and he would’ve taken first place. I get that he wants beat the mc but in the beginning and middle he said “I don’t know, I’m not doing it out of pity though.” (In the beginning when the mc was about to get expelled) And then blames the mc for humiliating him, like bro, you complain even though you’re the one not letting the mc go. I can’t understand this guy’s(Lee Sangmin aka.blonde dude) thought process.
Not only that but even though he wants to beat the mc fair and wants to prove that he can be in first place, he literally tried to murder the mc. He doesn’t want the mc to run away and get out of the competition the “easy way” yet he tries to murder him??? Doesn’t he know that this also counts as a easy way since he hasn’t technically beat him yet?? So does he wanna win or not? If the mc dies then technically Lee Sangmin would lose since he didn’t actually beat the mc. (Or he could’ve tried to murder him because of his father (the chairman), pressuring him to be better than the mc)
Sangim has no motivations or goals, so he wants to beat MC, but when he does it he realizes he has nothing more to do. He does not want MC to be the second best, he wants him to have no chances at all. He wats to destroy him but at the same time he want to keep him at his side because beating and seeing Jihyun suffer is what keeps him “sane” (he is a crazy bastard after all). I really hate him, I still don’t forgive him for killing his dogs
Ohhh thanks for explaining it to me lol, I didn’t really get why he was doing all this even though it would only make him suffer more (since he hasn’t beaten the MC once in his 11 years of knowing him except for that alcohol competition in the beginning). Yeah, this guy is messed up for sure.
Love how they’re trying to stop Cale from touching the wine bottle
Ngl I wish they just ended it off as the knockers were gone entirely or Immo/Fushi accepted them coexisting with humans, the whole society advancing and tech arc is already kinda...how to put it... boring? It’s kinda just not fit to be in an anime where it’s based off of an ancient era where there’s no tech and realistic stuff, it’s just my opinions tho. The whole time skipping is just a lot to handle, I think they should of ended it kinda early if you know what I mean, it’s just a bunch of filler with more complicated info and I don’t know where they’re going with it.
also they should've ended it off with kahak dying with the knocker, i mean it wouldn't solve the knocker PROBLEM PER SAY but it was a good bitter sweet ending
