i'm so in love with everything about this. the fights?? the characters??? the foreshadowing i can feel all around me without having a clue what is being alluded to?
Spoiler like i know something is up with the three constellations that are always there, i know something is up with mentioning constellations becoming dokkaebi, i know something is up with people forgetting about ways of survival, but i don't even have theories just vibes


and don't even get me started on kim dokja & yoo joonghyuk's dynamic man. one thing i adore in fiction is reluctance. i love reluctant adoptive fathers (a la joel miller), reluctant heros (a la mat cauthon), and god do i LOVE reluctant allies.
Spoilerif y'all could hear the scream i let out the first time yjh called kdj his companion??? and then at the end the callback to the “release your hand and get lost, you damn son of a bitch” from the beginning??? shut up


and that ending oh my god. i haven't moved on my brain has been screaming episode 35 at me every 5 minutes all day.
Spoilerdokja's party begging not to kill him as they fought him had me sobbing my eyes out fuck man i know he said he has a plan or whatever but fuck
. i just know the fr ending is going to absolutely destroy me i'm only 30% in and already fighting for my life

other tiny thoughts <3
- when jung heewon picked up a sword named mikazuki munechika my neck cracked and i was awakened as a touken ranbu sleeper agent. jiji mentioned????? in the year 2024???
-
Spoilermaybe i'm overthinking since it says it does on his status but something feels so off with it being yjh's 3rd regression i just cannot make myself buy it

-
Spoilereven though we only knew her for like 2 chapters, 41st round shin yoosung's death
killed me i just know if one of the side characters dies i'm toast
- the first of the ten evils being a landlord was so real
- i feel like i need a degree in korean history to properly enjoy the fights in the middle because it fr kicked my ass i had no idea what was going on
- i keep thinking about kdj dying like actually dying and yjh killing himself over it to regress and kdj not being in any other regression mmm i lowkey would love something like that to happen

so excited to continue on with this!!!
