Usually I don't buy into self sacrifice in fiction because how much can one human life really be worth, when so many have been lost already? But the way that orv sets up Kim Dokja's self sacrifices, sure it has its own in universe reasons, but the reason it sold me on why those sacrifices were necessary and worked was that subjective feeling of equivalent exchange. He wanted to save his world (companions), so he sacrificed himself. This is fair payment because he exists as 'the world' to everyone else. Just. Jung Heewon confronting Anna Croft with "you want to save the world? I do too. He is the world I wish to save" (paraphrased) and Kim Dokja obtaining the story 'One Who is Loved by All' and Lee Sookyung shaving off years of her life for him before and during the scenarios and him becoming a protective and nurturing presence to his kids and showing Lee Hyunsung how to use his strength to protect justice and giving Yoo Joonghyuk hope and giving meaning to Han Sooyoung's writing and decades of waiting to meet him just by continuing to exist. There are so many other people that he means so much to and I'll never get over how beloved he is, before during and after the scenarios. The whole time! The whole time he has been loved. He isn't always able to see it but it's always been there. Meeting him is like being unable to imagine someone more worthy of love while at the same time thinking that he's not particularly remarkable. It's the way that he is cherished and returns that kindness that makes him incredible (The Little Prince and his conclusions about the uniqueness of his rose come to mind. It wasn't mentioned in ORV, but the Little Prince played a significant role in TWATF so I think some of those themes carry over to ORV because SingShong seem to really like that story)

so you know how kimcom have an ‘experience’ in hyunsung’s time in the military and help him get over his trauma? i kinda want to see yjh do that in dokja’s childhood.

both of them going to school together and yjh witnessing 18!dokja shirk into the shadows and keep away from people only for his eyes to come to life when he’s reading three ways. i want yjh to see those bullies going after dokja for reading his life story and beat the daylights out of them for it. he’ll see first hand just how his story saved dokja and try to act all tsundere about it only to feel his heart twist inside.

i want him to become dokja’s first friend and maybe get him into gaming and they can discover those story+fighting games so they both have something they’re interested in and he can make murim dumplings for dokja on his birthday cuz dokja prob spent his birthdays alone and dokja can try to get yjh into three ways so there’s one other person in the fandom only for dokja to realise yjh already knows the story and dokja won’t be alone in his love for the web novel anymore fgshdjdjfmfk

dokja excitedly turning to yjh after the latest update going “omg did you read the latest chapter? joonghyuk is so cool, i can’t believe he won against someone so powerful. as expected of our protagonist.” with a proud smile on his face and yjh watches him with a conflicted expression as his heart twinges because of all the things he wants to say but can’t.

edit: I just realized, watching bby kdj read and go through the story will help yjh come to appreciate and value himself more (one can dream) and understand himself through a different perspective by seeing himself through the eyes of someone who truly loves him.

Ok, Childe as a wuxia/xianxia trope. It's honestly a bit embarrassing how well this fits.

(blame @a-yarn-of-purple-prose for this post and if anyone here is a wuxia fan feel free to correct me, I'm new to the genre)

Wuxia is a Chinese martial arts fantasy genre you are all familiar with. An adjacent genre is called xianxia, "immortal heroes", it ramps all the fantasy elements up to eleven and skews tropes a bit (we'll get back to that).

A common trope is some kind of unorthodox school/sect or technique, allowing to achieve greater power without the usual decades of training. It could be straight-out evil or just revolving around chaos.

Such a martial school is usually called an evil/demonic sect (sect is more like a clan in that setting, not the modern concept of sect) and their techniques tend to drive practitioners to insanity. Either because they are inherently corrupting or because getting too much power without growing as a person is really not the best thing for your mental health. They are also often cast from hp points.

And then there's the archetype of a demonic sect heir. The best pupil or simply someone who has inherited a lost art. Proud, always greedy for more strength, often noble in some weird way.

*points to our calamity of a boy*

Common elements of such stories include:

Falling into some weird realm or meeting a weird person who teaches the hero a Forbidden Technique

Learning a technique too quickly through some sort of magic/alchemy/memory manipulation

Some people are so singular in their pursuit they become insane (走火入魔)

Ambition bad, loyalty and family good

Conflicting loyalties, generally a conflict between a chosen path and personal weaknesses/attachments (could be both ego and familal love, and this is more of a xianxia trope)

Fits like a horoscope so far but wait.

There's a very interesting case of Korean murim genre (their version of wuxia) where sects are less varied (I recommend this post for a basic introduction) and we get three paths:

Justice/Righteous/Orthodox/Light — theoretically they keep the Evil Faction at bay, and protect innocent people, but usually are corrupt to the core

Evil/Unorthodox/Dark — these try gaining as much power as possible and attempt ruling the whole world

Demonic Cult — usually dont take part in evil and justice battles, follow their own code of conduct based on their religion, value strength above all else.

(I'm sure there's a similar distinction in wuxia too, I just can't find it in the deluge of lore)

"Demonic" is closer to "pagan" or "heathen" than Christian idea of demonic here, their beliefs are often based on Zoroastrianism and worshipping a sacred flame. Do you remember all the Persian themes used for Khaenri'ah? And Surtalogi being the flame on Surtr's sword in Norse mythology. I also had the impression that Genshin gnostic references are based on the Zoroastrian-flavoured branch of Gnosticism.

In murim the trope of demonic sect heir is called "heavenly demon" (I believe, a more correct translation would be "supreme heathen"), they are utterly badass, live for the glory of battle, seem more like forces of nature and follow a very strict honour code often conflicting with normal human ethics.

(do I need to spell it out)

TvTropes also says this about Korean stories:

(do I need to spell it out pt.2)

I'm not sure why a Chinese studio would focus on the Korean version of this trope but I'm sure something like this exists in China as well or maybe there's a popular manhwa that inspired authors.

Xianxia extends the fantastic element further, focusing on Taoist concepts and practices and adding all kinds of magical realms (celestial, demonic, etc) and magical beings and making immortality achievable. I still need to read more about it but if I understand that right, demonic heir trope turns into a demon prince in this case. An actual visitor from the demon realm or a practitioner who achieved immortality through dubious means.

These are fae-coded in a way very similar to Childe and have a certain nonchalance towards things most humans would consider traumatic. They are simply not bothered by them, having a different set of morals or faring from a realm that is much worse.

Our boy isn't that (he's still very much human) but he's aesthetically coded like one, same as Scaramouche is yokai-coded, despite not being a yokai.

So. When people say Childe's arc is a reference to Journey to the West, it's not entirely untrue, JttW is the classic of xianxia genre and Childe does belong to the same genre. He, however, is not Sun Wukong but a different, darker trope.

This also explains why he has that "shonen anime protag but not quite" vibe. Shonen was heavily influenced by wuxia but this trope never quite made it to anime or maybe never became popular enough. It's not a deconstruction, it's a different story. Or perhaps a deconstruction of that different story.

Reactions to Miracle Creator's Chapter 145

TLDR; Frustration galore. Talks about future plans. HD going out to the outside world for the first time.

Soos? LSH = ❌ CJS = ✅

Frustration Galore We're back to Cale making people frustrated with his "I'm perfectly fine" line, but this time, by the murim people. 😂 Cale kept claiming that he was perfectly fine, and everyone who witnessed that bloody mess during HD's purification all felt sad. But our Cale was like, why are they acting like that? 🤣🤣🤣

Good Faction Elder Ho: *sighs sadly and looks up the ceiling when Cale replied that he was perfectly fine* Splitter Saint: *does the same. Also goes into some introspection on how his past self was wrong about lots of stuff*

Evil Faction Sima Dan: *offers Cale expensive alcohol. Drinks alcohol out of frustration at Cale wanting to purify more Living Jiangshi* Sima Gong: *snatches the alcohol Dan offered to Cale, saying that it was bad for someone with internal injuries. Feels very sad when Cale denies that he suffered from internal injuries*

Demon Cult HD: *chuckles yet has vicious eyes at Cale talking about purifying more Living Jiangshi. *

Future Plans Not much here, just the usual planning and coordination. Cale's itinerary was Kunlun School -> Evil Alliance headquarters -> Blood Cult's presumed location.

Heavenly Demon Joins Cale's Group This part was the funniest today. There's this Korean idiom something called "to go to the rivers and lakes." In martial arts fiction, it means a sect disciple going out to experience the murim world outside their sect.

So HD said that idiom, reasoning out that he accompanying Cale would be helpful for Cale in purifying Living Jiangshi. Of course, Cale was confused, thinking that there was no need for HD to personally accompany him because HD could just lead his troops.

And then, Raon relayed HD and BD's conversation... BD said that he would support HD in his goal. Cale was even more puzzled on what they meant. 🤣🤣🤣

It doesn't stop there. We get a time skip of three days later, with HD telling Cale that he had finished packing up his luggage and it would be his first time going to the rivers and lakes. Cale was still in disbelief of what HD said... 🤣🤣🤣

Someone in Ridi commented that HD was like a kid who was going on a picnic for the first time, and I agree with them. 😂Poor babysitter Cale. But is this foreshadowing that just like Durst, it would be HD joining Cale's group? We can only hope...

Ending Remarks When is this arc going to end? Even Cale today badly wanted to go home. Unfortunately (for him), we still have a long way to go. But with HD joining Cale's group (and the Demon Cult joining Caleism), I'm looking forward to the future chapters.

[themissinghand]

Hello! If your requests are still open, may i ask for a stanley snyder x reader? (fem, or GN) Where the reader is xeno's sibling? It's ok if not though. Just dont get pressured from the requests :) (also, if i may reccommend a manhwa, I suggest you try to read return of the mount hua sect if you like action and murim (it's rlly good trust me), or omniscient reader's viewpoint if you haven't read it already (my favourite) but if you like romance manhwa's with a medieval setting, either "your majesty please spare me this time" (unlike most romance manhwa's the mc in this one doesn't get over their hatred for the crown prince so quickly and and immediately falls in love with them. she's very conflicted and the emotions she feels are well written and she's not always "girlbossing" her way through. fantasie of a stepmother/stepmothers marchen is also a really good one.

sorry i went on a rant there, but thanks for thaking the time to read this and have a nice day/night!

Dr. Stone: "Who Did This To You?"

Requested by: Anonymous

Note: Hey! Requests are open! Thanks for your patience, I really appreciate it. I love to try and write different things so getting requests is exciting for me. This is a bit different from how I write but hopefully I did it justice. Also, thanks for your manhwa recs, I already finished the novel for ORV (literally my fav) and read the manhwa for Your Majesty Please Spare Me This Time. I read a bit of Stepmother's Marchen and Return of the Mount Hua Sect a while back but haven't caught up with it yet. Definitely down to write something for manhwa!

Summary: In which no one messes with Xeno’s sibling and gets away with it. Or there's tension between siblings and Stanley is just a puppy (or is he?).

Pairing: Stanley Snyder x GN! Reader!

Warnings: Will contain violence and swearing. Spoilers for the characters, but no plot. For anime watchers, don't search up Xeno or Stanley if you don't want to be spoiled!

Jealousy is a mental cancer.

(Y/N) knows it well, especially since they have such an outstanding older brother named Xeno Houston Wingfield.

Unlike their brother, (Y/N) is a troublemaker, a free spirit, and most importantly, a fighter.

Instead of lab experiments and academic competitions, (Y/N) spends their time in the gym and fights street thugs that bullies the weak.

At first, (Y/N) hated their brother, for Xeno always, always cared more about his science experiments more than them, and had the love and attention from everyone.

Also, he always had his best friend Stanley around him to keep him entertained.

Stanley Synder was chill and abnormally attractive, so much so that every time Stanley greeted them, (Y/N) was blinded by his appearance.

So what if he looks good? He was annoying.

No matter how much (Y/N) avoided Stanley, the man would find them some way somehow, and it was frustrating to have a literal man-puppy follow you around!

So (Y/N) ignored both of them out of spite.

But one day, when (Y/N) heard loud curses and the sound of painful grunts from a suspicious alleyway (that they knew gangs and thugs frequent), they rushed in without a thought.

They assumed that the person getting bullied might be the old lady that sold shoes, or the nerdy student at school, or the little boy who saw something he shouldn’t see.

People who are too nice, too vulnerable, and too trusting of their own good.

However, this wasn’t the typical thug that (Y/N) beat up often, they were men dressed in formal suits with bats and batons in their hands.

“What the fuck are you doing?!”

“Who the fuck is this kid?” The smell of cigarettes drifted into the air.

“Get out of here kid, we’re not looking for a fight. It’s this kid our boss has beef with.”

The person they were beating up were also not what (Y/N) was thinking of at all.

They weren't nice, vulnerable, or naive.

So when the person that (Y/N) saw was their brother, slightly beaten up and wet from water, they felt another type of emotion.

“(Y/N)?!”

Rage.

But (Y/N) didn’t know why.

“What are you doing here, Xeno?!” (Y/N) clutched their hands into fists.

“Hey, you know this kid?”

“Yea, I know him damn well.” In the next instant, (Y/N) kicked a metal bat out of a thug’s hands and used it as a weapon to fight.

Panic and curses filled the air as people yelled out profanities. But (Y/N) was used to this environment, this situation of 1 vs too many.

“Hey kid. We don’t have any business with you. Just with that fake little NASA scientist behind you.”

(Jealousy is a mental cancer)

(Y/N) never back down from a fight.

“Xeno, run.”

“What? There’s a zero percentage chance that you will win, and a very low chance that I’ll escape anyway! It’s more logical that I-”

(Ignorance runs in our blood, Xeno doesn't know (Y/N))

“There’s a hidden shortcut.” (Y/N) whispered, “Ran back and then take a sharp left, there’s a narrow walkway but you’ll fit through. Then you’ll find an apartment door - knock on it and tell the uncle there that I sent you.”

“What?! How can I-”

“Don’t you always take the logical path? Then do it. Stop being so emotional. It’s not like you care anyway.”

((Y/N) couldn’t see it, but Xeno immediately frowned and a bitter expression appeared on his face for a solid second before he turned and ran.)

“Catch him!”

That was their cue.

In the middle of the all-out brawl, (Y/N) maneuvered their way around like a slippery little snake, avoiding thugs with parkour and fighting back like a wild animal. They threw punches that sent people flying and kicks that sent people tumbling to the ground.

“I know you, you’re that troublemaker!” (Y/N) looked up with an arrogant smirk, and wiped the blood off the side of their lips.

“Yea, I know.” (Y/N) dodged the swing of a bat, and kicked one of them in the balls.

Unfortunately, someone grabbed (Y/N) from behind.

“I got you now-” But little did they know, (Y/N) is not one to be captured so easily. By leaning backwards and kicking the incoming fighters, it sent both of them back from the inertia, enough for (Y/N) to break out of the hold and kick all of them to the curb.

With so many taken out, it was quiet enough for them to hear sirens in the background.

“Fuck! I’ll fucking kill you and your brother the next time I see you!” Seeing them run with their tails tucked behind their ass was satisfying.

“Ha, what a joke. There won’t be a next time.” It took everything for (Y/N) to not fall over from fatigue and explain everything to the police, then they provided the police with camera footage and recording so the police could hunt them down.

The police insisted on bringing (Y/N) to the hospital due to the various injuries they got on their body, but (Y/N) instead just said they wanted a ride home. With a little bit of convincing, the police eventually listened and did as they said.

“Another person jealous of Xeno huh? Not surprised.”

"Xeno Houston Wingfield was the one that called for help." (Y/N) didn't say anything to that but simply looked outside the window.

When (Y/N) entered the house, they immediately went to their room, disregarding the worries from Xeno, and their parents.

“Fuck.” A string of curses left their lips as they tried to treat themselves with a first aid kit. It stings like hell and it doesn’t help when they’re extremely tired.

“(Y/N), it’s me. Stanley.”

“Go away.” (Y/N) replied with annoyance, they don’t need Xeno’s pity or get blinded right now.

“It’s just me.” (Y/N) watched the door silently.

“If you don’t open the door, I’ll kick it open.” With Stanley's playful tone, it sounded like something he would do out of spite.

“Fucking- alright. Happy?” Exasperated, (Y/N) opened the door and dragged the annoying prick into their room, before slamming it shut, not caring if Xeno was there at all.

“You look like shit.”

“Thanks Sherlock.” Before (Y/N) could sit back on their bed, a hand reached out and grabbed their arm. With a forceful tug, Stanley spun them around.

“What the fuck-”

Sharp, predator eyes are what shut (Y/N) up.

For the first time in a long time, (Y/N) felt…nervous.

Stanley tilted (Y/N)’s chin up to get a better look at their face and the injuries from the fight. A hiss left their lips, but no words dared to come out when being stared down by those watchful eyes.

(Y/N) was both nervous and confused, just what was happening right now? What happened to the literal man-puppy?

But nothing came out of them in this tense atmosphere.

Stanley gently wipes away the streak of blood by (Y/N)’s mouth without saying anything.

(Y/N)’s heart skips a beat as Stanley finally directly looks them dead in the eye.

Stanley’s voice quiet and tense, their anger barely restrained.

“Who did this to you?”

It took a moment for (Y/N) to collect themselves.

“It’s none of your business.” (Y/N) tries to pry the hand away, but Stanley only tightens his hold.

“Yes it is.”

“Yea?” (Y/N) challenged, glaring at the older man, “And what are you gonna do about it huh?”

For a moment, (Y/N) saw an uncharacteristic violent glint in his eyes, bringing shivers done their spine.

“No one can hurt you and get away with it.”

I once came across a theory on reddit that the Hangul used in the Murim arc for calling YJH can mean both a 'disciple' (in Murim terms) and a 'priest' unless the Hanza is mentioned, since there are many homophones. Like how Hangul for KDJ means 'reader' but the Hanza can mean both 'alone' and 'reader' (and his mf dad chose alone). But, SnS most of the time don't mention the Hanza so Blackbox might've mistaken that Murim term as 'priest' and gave him a priest collar, since the art before Blackbox didn't have any priest collar. And SnS also maybe found it kinda cool (and appropriate) so they decided to keep it...?

It's just a theory tho. Anyways, I totally agree that YJH is very much priest-coded. HSY the creator mother goddess, KDJ as the ultimate truth/pure consciousness/the sacrificing savior (I think I just merged different schools of theologies lol) aaaand YJH as the holy messanger! The Holy Trinity!!

i am always ready and willing to rag on orv character designs (i love them all so much and think the artists are incredibly talented. why does yoo jonghyuk have a titty belt) but one thing i love so much is yoo jonghyuk having a priests collar. its a part of character design that makes you go 'lmao thats so weird why did they draw him like that. rule of cool i guess' and then you reach the end of the novel and realise all this time yoo jonghyuk has been servant of the most powerful being in all existence and he has to go on a pilgrimage to spread the word of the author of existence to all other universes. and its like. oh. no he is literally a priest. holy shit. incredible character designactually. we knew his role from the beginning.

Reactions to Trash Boss’s Chapter 125

In today’s chapter, Cale began his walk up the mountain. The chapter ended with Cale still walking up the mountain. I’m not joking, hahahaha… It’s like a recap of the chapters when Cale met the Murim Alliance Leader. One chapter was dedicated to Cale walking towards the Murim Alliance Leader’s room, and the next chapter was all about Cale just sitting down. Hahaha….

No mention of LSH or CJS again. Sad. There was a CH mention because CH was admiring the mysteriousness of the Kunlun Mountains. Raon worrying about Cale’s stamina in climbing the mountain was cute though.

Now that the two groups of the Murim Alliance had regrouped together, our general commander was grinning when she saw everyone in the 2nd group being scared of Cale, hahaha… Dominating Aura is too OP, why no nerf, Jungwon?

We got 2 new characters. In Ho, the leader of the Kunlun School. MTL was being weird here because it translated ‘hermit’ as ‘fresh’… And Cale gulping in admiration at the typical hermit appearance was not helping when MTL is involved. It made Cale look like he had a crush or something, lol… And MTL using ‘Jang Mun In’ made me wonder if this was a new character until I realized I had that term on my Murim Terms glossary. Jang-mun-in simply means “school/sect leader.”

Un Seon was present too, if you ever remember her. She was one of the people in Elder Ho’s group before and the one who wanted to invite Cale to the Kunlun School before Cale himself said he was going there.

Evil Faction people were not staying in the Kunlun School because they were at odds with each other. At least, they did not fight. They were very obedient to our trash boss, hahaha… But poor Kunlun School. The Good Faction literally used them as a shield against the Demon Cult. They knew that if the Kunlun School collapsed, a powerful school opposing the Demon Cult would disappear and someone would have to take their place, so the Good Faction people did their best to support the Kunlun School to maintain their role as a shield.

Our Wi-kipedia arrived with two members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard (EUG). Gosh, typing the full name of EUG is tiring. Anyway, misunderstandings happen because Cale received two elixirs from the emperor. Everyone else be like, ‘the EUG is bowing to him!’ (the EUG only bow down to the emperor), ‘what is Young Master Kim’s relation to the emperor,’ and so on. Meanwhile, our trash boss was mentally praising the emperor for promising to send more elixirs, hahahaha… Cale, won’t your other hyung back in Roan be jealous?

Kunlun School had a misunderstanding about Cale being in the Nature Realm. And they were in awe because the highest martial arts rank they knew was the Profound Realm. Only Heavenly Demon, the Demon Cult Leader, and an elder of the Kunlun School were at that rank.

The other new character was ‘Eldest Brother.’ Yeah, he did not have a name. He was only called by his position in the Kunlun School. I think they have a tradition of calling school disciples as ‘brother’ or ‘sister.’ Unfortunately, our poor Durst went “Ueeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!,” so Cale’s group instantly realized this guy was a Living Jiangshi too. Eldest Brother was the next leader of the Kunlun School. What exactly is Blood Cult planning that the next leaders of the young generation are Living Jiangshi?

We might see another scene of Cale coughing blood again. But with the two new elixirs (and the more to follow), perhaps not? We’ll see in the next chapters.

What will happen in the next chapter? Will Cale’s walk up the mountain end? Or will it be a replay of the Murim Alliance Leader’s chapters? But seriously, author seems to be a fan of murim because the murim arc is seriously detailed and long. Compare that to the Xiaolen arc where we only get a few characters with names. According to my Murim Terms goggle sheets, we already have 40+ new characters in the murim arc alone.

The comments on Ridi are excited about the upcoming Cale blood faucet. Aren’t we all? Hahaha…. Sorry, Cale. Your fandom likes to see you suffer. And witness your attempts to gain slacker life fail…

Overall, this chapter was so-so. Not exactly disappointing, but not exciting either. It’s just Cale walking up the mountain and some stuff happening. We’re still a long way from meeting the Blood Cult. And does anyone remember Karin Orsena? She’s supposed to be in this world, right?

[short-black-diamond]

Just a quick question,do you do questism fandom??

Oufffff I did not touch that webtoon in almost half a year now, gotta take it out of my masterlist.. Sorry.

We are 101 -(MC is a pretty boy) -(very short chapters, best to wait a few weeks and then read) The Interpretation of shadows -(slow updates, but storyline is interesting, give it a read!) Sisters at war -(very..uh, well, generational trauma) A spell for a smith -(catching up soon, hopefully) Iseop's Romance -(drama i guess? more like office romance and stuff, read for yourself i am not good at describing things :,{ ) Vampire family -(meme potential) Why i quit being the demon king -(gotta catch up) Return of the runebound Professor -(soul in other person's body, soul was teacher in past life and is professor in this life, too. relatively new webtoon, so this is all i will be saying about it.) The bad son -(dayum, art is cool and story is slowly forming, but i don't wanna spoil anything so see for yourself.) The last passage -(interesting concept, very philosophical regarding death and afterlife or returning back to earth and how, give it a read!) Red Spine -(MC is a traumatized cutie patootie) -("weak", has red spine sometimes to scare off genderwo's or what they are called oijrijigrejoje that's all i am telling you about) The genius Murim Fitness Trainer -(Covid influencer gaining weight, gets isekai'd into the last webtoon he read after falling asleep) -(now is protag of said webtoon and throws hands or teaches the other monks, must catch up) Boss return -(dark themes, but also well mixed with love) -(boy just wants his wifey :{ ) Absolute Regression -(MC is hella fine) The masters have subscribed -(new webtoon) -(funny) A knight with a time limit -(saw today, giving it a chance)
