Lol, I was homeschooled and got a GED. My grades were decent, but I've never had higher education, and I certainly can't afford one. Again, I write purely as a hobby, not in any professional context. The most I can boast is getting a few college credits on my English score for said GED, but that test is stupidly easy. Especially in the ass end of nowhere where I'm from. The educational standards here aren't exactly strict.

Very cool piece of worldbuilding with the same-sex marriage thing. In a world without Abrahamic religions and no homosexual stigma, why wouldn't a region with feudalistic politics utilize same-sex marriage as a political tool? I'm totally stealing that.

Yes. I write as a hobby, and I've yet to meet someone who has complimented me on my ability to be concise. It's a failing of mine that I try to amend when I notice, but for criticism in particular I find that giving, or receiving, too much information is preferable to not enough.

I fully expect that by chapter 500 the murim world will just be him and like 800 different swords wearing trenchcoats pretending to be the head of every other organization.

I'll admit that I don't read as many murim stories as I used to, but I feel like I don't see sword flight that often anymore. Maybe it's because I don't really read manhua anymore, idk.

I'll give you that one; his reaction does seem a little out of character. I will say, though, that he's spent quite a bit of time with Alea at this point, so maybe it's not that he thinks he's done anything wrong, but that he knows how she'll react. Given that they live near each other, I'd assume that being on her bad side isn't great. I don't think the word 'misunderstanding' necessarily fits this situation either, but maybe it made more sense in the novel? Or it's an issue with translation? Either way, this scene could have been made more clear. On the whole, it doesn't really matter that much, and most people are familiar enough with tropes that their eyes will just slide past this scene without noticing that it's a tad out of character.

You misunderstand how emotions fundamentally work then. Alea, or any other human being for that matter, does not need to have justification to feel anything. Emotions are not based on objective reality, and thus do not require any prerequisite conditions to be met for them to be valid. They simply are. Having a better or worse reason to feel them makes no real difference other than how you act on those emotions, and ultimately her actions are harmless; a quick glare and a few grumbles, while petty, are normal given her whole 'hidden love' situation. Frustration acts as kindling to make emotions like jealousy much worse, after all. However, even with all that said, Alea has been a pretty reasonable actor up until this point. I doubt she'll do anything worse than give him a cold shoulder unless she's put in a romcom misunderstanding situation... Which I really hope that isn't around the corner.

I agree with you so that means you're based as hell for that

Your being a little reductive. He also puts his dick in things that don't move.

Man the black knight aesthetic tickles my brain just right. It's got the edgy teenager living in my subconscious hyped. Plate armor is just so fucking sick.

Very cool chapter, but I can't lie, the main thing I came away with is "God-fucking-damn he's hot" Like oh my lord. I ain't even really the type to get hit that hard by fictional characters, but holy shit dude.

This manwha is solidly just alright, but it holds a special place in my heart for being one of the first things I read once I migrated here from KissManga. R.I.P the goat.

The power of friendship is bullshit; the power of jumping a motherfucker is way more powerful.

Don't question it, this mf is a freak. This comment is in the top 10 most sane things he's said.

Man, I went to check on it a few weeks ago and I was so disappointed. Was it axed or is it just in purgatory?

Brother, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I'm pretty sure Encrid is just autistically attracted to swords. If he were born in the modern era, he'd be one of those guys on TLC talking about fucking inanimate objects.

You know, usually it's annoying when a character doubts the MC so blatantly, but in this case... I get it. Like, why would a rando platoon leader be able to pull that off? In what fucking world? I'm sure their ass-kicking will be quite enjoyable to watch, but I totally see where they are coming from.

I don't know if it's because of the setting, or the fact that they are opposed to usual murim tropes, but wholesome moments feel like they have a lot more impact in this series. When something sweet happens it feels earned.

I'm guessing the war that was skipped over took a while? Otherwise how would Paul be all grown up now? Assuming he's still a young man, around fifteen, I'm assuming a solid two or three years passed. I wish they would have said how long the time skip was instead of having it go unstated.
