I read these series from beginning on this site
Problem with that is chapter uploadeled were generally from different scanlation group. Everytime there would new other word for some critical term.

So, I actually never knew clearly what's going on with power system
But i still like to read this series

The story is literally just thrust. Dont look deeper or for anything else, friendship thrust, naked thrust, death thrust doesnt matter its all just thrust so enjoy the thrust and be content.

Only gods are able to resist it because they cut the prayers of other storylines out of their head using their storyline. Awakeners don't have a storyline yet and that is why that weapon works on them. The reason Jaehwan doesn't get affected by it is because he can just withstand all the prayers without having to make himself not hear some/most of them.
At least that is how I understand it works.

IDK brother, personally I read this Never minding the poor storytelling or the non-sense. I Just pass the time with the bullshit till other works are updated!

It's like we get a glimpse of his true storyline, if if he would be a God, he wouldn't care about prayers at all
