#Tales of Demons and Gods

[nikeabc123]

Eine Reise durch die Dämonenwelt und zurück zur Selbstvertrauen

In einer dunklen Phase meiner Leben, als ich durch einen Freundschaftsverrat ging, war ich glücklich, dass ich eine liebevolle Begleiterin hatte, meine Freundin. Sie stand an meiner Seite und mit mir durch diese harte Zeit ging. Doch auch wenn ich allein war, hatte ich einen Weg, um meine Gedanken zu entfliehen und meine Herzen zu trösten — meine Lieblingsmanga, "Tales of Demons and Gods".

Diese Geschichte ist nicht nur eine einfache Serie von Bilder und Worte, sondern eine Reise durch ein phantastisches Welt, die mich aus meiner alltäglichen Realität herauszog. Ich fand mich auf einer Reise mit den Hauptcharakteren, erlebte ihre Schicksale und Gefühle und dabei lernte ich, dass sogar in den schwierigsten Situationen, es gibt immer einen Lichtstrahl, einen Weg zum Fortschritt.

Die Website https://www.mangahaus.com/manga/talesofdemonsandgods.html wurde zu einem meiner Lieblingsplätze im Internet. Jede neue Folge war eine neue Abenteuer für mich, eine Möglichkeit, mich selbst zu entdecken und zu verstehen. Die komplexe Welt der Dämonen und Götter war mir ein Spiegel, in dem ich meine eigene Existenz sehen und meine Gefühle erkennen konnte.

Und neben diesen fantastischen Geschichten hatte ich noch eine weitere Begleiterin, meine Katze. Ihr einfaches Wesen und ihre unbedingte Liebe waren ein starker Trost für mich. In ihren Augen sah ich die Reinheit und die Wunder der Welt, die manchmal in unserer täglichen Routine verloren gehen.

Diese Zeit hat mich gelehrt, dass es immer einen Grund gibt, weiter zu kämpfen und zu hoffen. Meine Freundin, meine Katze und "Tales of Demons and Gods" haben mir gezeigt, dass auch in der Dunkelheit gibt es Licht und dass wir alle die Kraft haben, unseren Weg zu finden und unsere Ziele zu erreichen.

Heute, ich weiß, dass ich auf dem richtigen Weg bin. Ich habe meine Richtung gefunden und meine Zuversicht wiedergewonnen. Und ich weiß, dass ich nicht allein bin in dieser Reise. Meine Freundin, meine Katze und mein Lieblingsmanga sind immer noch meine Begleiter und Unterstützer.

Für alle, die gerade durch eine schwierige Zeit gehen oder die einfach einen Weg aus der Alltagsgrauigkeit suchen, ich möchte euch empfehlen, auch einmal einen Blick auf "Tales of Demons and Gods" zu werfen. Vielleicht findet auch ihr darin einen neuen Weg und eine neue Hoffnung.

My Demon: Inspiration or Plagiarism?

Guardian Goblin...Guardian Mountain God...Guardian Demon

In the latest drama, "My Demon," we're introduced to a guardian demon. However, as I delved into the series, a sense of déjà vu crept in. Was this guardian demon truly distinct, or did he bear striking similarities to others we've seen before?

Questions about plagiarism first emerged when Gu Won's death scene in "My Demon" closely resembled that of Kim Shin's death scene in "Goblin". Many dismissed the notion that the writer had plagiarized the scene, citing the cinematographer had worked on both "Goblin" and "My Demon".

However, I believe the issue of plagiarism extended beyond cinematography; from the characterization of the male lead to the overall concepts, "My Demon" seemed almost identical to well-known fantasy kdramas, echoing themes, lines, and scenes from its predecessors. The writer, Choi Ah Il, appeared to borrow extensively from existing works, crossing the line between inspiration and outright plagiarism.

Gu Won, the guardian demon, was a mishmash of characters from various supernatural dramas. His personality, appearance, and even punishment seemed like something taken right out of "Goblin", "Tale of the Nine-Tailed", and "Doom at Your Service." Beyond his Thanos-like finger snap and cross tattoo, there was very little that made him unique.

For a writer who criticized goblins, nail-tailed foxes, grim reapers, and vampires, Choi Ah Il failed to differentiate her demon. Gu Won could've been a distinctive supernatural character with his own unique backstory or even a different style, but instead, he felt like a Frankenstein creation of well-established supernatural creatures. Ultimately, I was left to wonder if the writer or even Gu Won himself knew who he really was.

In my field, we constantly aim to create innovative and original ideas. Therefore, I understand the fear that can come with breaking new ground. For Choi Ah Il's first fantasy drama, the fear of her original ideas not being good enough might have led her to heavily rely on existing works.

My advice to Choi Ah Il is to have more confidence in both herself and her ideas. When we put our entire heart and soul into our work, our sincerity and passion will shine through, making them more likely to be appreciated by others. We should embrace all of our "crazy" ideas instead of plagiarizing others' work. Even if our idea doesn't work out, at least we know we gave it our all. And this, to me, is infinitely more fulfilling than imitating others.

So in conclusion, "My Demon" had the potential to be a great fantasy drama, but it seemed to copy too much from others' works. Whether it's an issue of inspiration or outright plagiarism, the drama left me wondering what ideas truly belonged to Choi Ah Il. As viewers, we deserve to experience a writer's unique voice, not a patchwork of borrowed elements hastily stitched together. Going forward, I'll probably give this writer one more chance to improve her scriptwriting. I must add that if it weren't for the great cast and their impeccable acting and adlibs, this drama would've been doomed due to its messy plot and lack of true originality.

Below are some scenes and concepts from other shows and movies that are nearly identical to the ones in "My Demon". I'll let you decide for yourself if you think the writer of "My Demon" was inspired by other's works or simply plagiarized them.

(Note: I might add more later, but it's a lot of work to go through each show and screenshot everything and then compile them in a collage)

p.s. I'll post my review, thoughts, and analysis for Eps 15-16 in a few days!

Goblin The Great and Lonely God

Hooded supernatural

2. Objects that represent the end of a human's journey...clocks instead of tea cups

3. The mother has complications with her daughter's birth and is saved by a supernatural being

4. In the past, the FL dies, ML kills a bunch of people, and ML ends his life. ML has memories of his past sins erased. As punishment, ML is turned into a grim reaper character.

Others:

The quote Madam Ju said in Ep 3 about plants and seeds was similar to the one said by Ji Tak in "Goblin": Humans have four lives. A life of planting seeds, a life of watering seeds, a life of harvesting, and a life of using the harvests.

The ML's had blamed God for all the obstacles in their lives and when they finally got a chance to talk to God, God told them they didn't have all the anwers to their questions and that they didn't know everything similar to God in MD.

The FL dies at the peak of her happiness similar to how in MD, the FL's parents died at the peak of her happiness.

The FL in "Goblin" was the key to ending the ML's life as an immortal just like how in MD, the FL was the key to making the ML human.

Tale of the Nine Tailed

Supernatural ML has an obsession with desserts

2. FL died in the past to save the ML

3. FL's parents is involved in a car accident on FL's birthday (9th birthday in TOTNT and 10th birthday in MD)

4. Wishes Granted By The Devils

5. Wishes and Exploiting Other's Misfortunes to Survive

6. FL wears object and remembers tragic past life

7. Personal Hell is being in a world without the FL

8. Working for the Divine as Their Best Performer

9. Mother-like Figure is a Goddess

10. Wearing Two Wedding Rings

Others:

In "Tale of the Nine Tailed," The Almighty granted Nine-Tailed Foxes or Gumihos various powers, but they were bound by one rule: they must fulfill their end of the deal/contract with humans or face death. This rule aimed to prevent Gumihos from murdering humankind. Similarly, in "My Demon," Gu Won faced a similar fate. If he didn't make deals with humans, he would die. Additionally, if Gu Won murdered humans, he would also face death. In both cases, rules and contracts were established to prevent supernatural beings endowed with god-like powers from killing humans.

The concept of wanting to live or die together in TOTNT was also present in MD

In TOTNT, the FL tried to protect the ML, but ended up dying. In the present, the ML made it a mission to protect the FL to prevent the same tragic fate from happening. ML ended up saving the FL in present but died in the process...and then ML came back to life just like in MD.

ML in TOTNT came back to life/was reincarnated as a mortal human with Gumiho powers similar to how after Gu Won came back to life, he was a human with demon powers.

Twilight

Supernatural leaves human because they hates their monstrous nature

2. Supernatural watches their human sleep

3. Human is kidnapped to draw out supernatural ML

4. Human gets a leg injury during kidnapping

Others:

Gu Won played "Clair de lune" just like Edward did in Twilight

Doom At Your Service

Listening to others' wishes and meeting a wisher that would change their fate

2. Beginning of a new journey filled with hand-holding, bubbles, and water

3. Necessaity of holding hands/wrist to recharge

4. Creating a dream of the FL's deepest desire

5. Celebrating a supernatural's birthday

Others:

One of the major themes in DAYS was choices just like in MD

Hotel Del Luna

Fireflies by the lake

Others:

FL's name was Man Wol (means "Full Moon") in HDL and FL's name in MD was Wol Sim (means "Moon Heart")

Ok, lol, i got the hilarious Idea of a reader in a Kagome-like situation, only with Sesshoumaru--- Like yeah, I cant forage or hunt for food but I can make literal 'lightning in a bottle' I just recreate electricity using static

something something elves deserve to look like. etheral, almost. god-like. something a bit other and decidedly not-human, but beautiful nonetheless. something that someone could consider holy. divine beings.

Die Kraft der Familie und Freundschaft: Meine Krankheitserfahrung und das erlebnis mit Tales of Demons and Gods

Im Laufe meiner Lebensreise kam eine schwerer zu bewältigende Zeit, als ich krank wurde. Die Tage waren schwer und voller Unsicherheit, doch ich war nicht allein. Meine Eltern waren meine Stütze, meine Kraft, meine Licht in dieser dunkleren Phase. Sie waren immer da, um mich zu trösten, zu unterstützen und gemeinsam durch die schwierige Zeit zu gehen.

Die Zeit allein war schwer zu überstehen, doch ich fand einen Weg, um mich zu beschäftigen und meine Gedanken zu lenken. Ich entdeckte die Welt von Tales of Demons and Gods, eine Manga-Serie, die mich auf die Website https://www.mangahaus.com/manga/talesofdemonsandgods.html führte. Diese Geschichte wurde zu einem Fenster für mich, ein Einblick in eine völlig andere Welt, voller Abenteuer, Herausforderungen und Wachstum.

Die Charaktere in Tales of Demons and Gods kämpfen gegen Dämonen und Geister, doch sie kämpfen auch gegen ihre eigenen Schwierigkeiten und Ängste. Diese Geschichte mir zeigte, dass es niemals zu spät ist, um sich zu verändern und vorwärts zu gehen. Die Kraft der Willenskraft und der Entschlossenheit wurde deutlich in jedem Kapitel hervorgehoben.

Während ich diese Geschichte verfolgte, wurde mir klar, dass ich nicht allein war. Meine Freunde waren ebenfalls meine Stütze, meine Kraft. Ihre Unterstützung und die gemeinsame Zeit, die wir verbrachten, stärkte mich und gab mir die Kraft, mich selbst zu vertrauen und meine Zukunft zu gestalten.

Tales of Demons and Gods hat mir gezeigt, dass es immer einen Weg gibt, selbst in den dunkelsten Stunden. Die Geschichte hat mich daran erinnert, dass wir alle eine innere Kraft haben, die uns durch schwierige Zeiten führt und uns hilft, unsere Ziele zu erreichen.

Heute bin ich dankbar für meine Eltern, meine Freunde und Tales of Demons and Gods. Sie haben mich durch meine schwierige Zeit geführt und mir meine Selbstvertrauen und meine Richtung zurückgegeben. Ich weiß, dass die Zukunft noch viele Herausforderungen bereithält, doch ich bin bereit und voller Hoffnung, weil ich weiß, dass ich nie allein bin. Meine Eltern, meine Freunde und Tales of Demons and Gods sind meine wahre Stärke.

E3 is a Multiversal consuming monstrosity hellbent to make anything and anyone his plaything~ :3

My biggest art piece so far. Took me around 12h+ working on it

E3 as the Owl is simply a shell he uses to interact with people

Shedding that skin reveals the Eldritch “Godlike”Body underneath sculpted for devotion and faith as a religious symbol of sort.

And going past that all the way up we get the Celestial. A Swarm of all kinds of universes melded together fueling this universe eating furnace as it spreads the influence throughout the multiverse devouring worlds on the regular.

The purest form of his Instinctive need to devour symbolized as this huge towering behemoth of worlds, stars etc.
