That's some funny exposition. This shit rules.

Dude there's no point debating this any further. Clearly you are committed to interpret anything I say in bad faith and obviously that's doesn't build a base from which you can convince me that I'm in the wrong either. Cya never.

No, the original point was: I like this manhwa more than others like it because all the fight scenes in it feel deliberate and meaningful and that this fight would not have been because it:s just some randos. You said "what about Roses smile?" Because you focused on the randos part, not the.overall point, To which I responded that Rose's smile was deliberate and meaningful, as to my.original point. It's you who keep changing your approach. Are you using AI or sth?

The point I'm trying to make is that the main narrative purpose to this fight would have been to demonstrate his superiority (which we are already aware of) and to illustrate why he is respected (which was still achieved through the discussion between the lord & his knight), so there's no need to spend a whole chapter and a whole lot of work on it when surely a great fight is coming up next chapter that would have had to wait otherwise. Plus it's a super basic plot-point that happens in basically every webtoon.

The massacre at Rose's smile is an entirely different matter that needed to be on-screen, not because it was challenging but because of the considerable build-up to it (the whole story so far, not a single chapter) and because it represented the beginning of Vlad's life as a knight, while showing what brutality that entails.

That fight had a narrative purpose and was epic because it was the first time his full growth was demonstrated. It was his furst mission as a knight. It was a crucial part of resolving the original conflict that started the story. It's ridiculous to compare something like that to wasting a whole chapter on curbstomping some randos because they're disrespectful when he's been fighting literal dragons.

There's more than enough webtoons where stuck-up guys like that get smacked around for a chapter or two. Idk. about you but I'm here because this one spends its panels better. I know that if there is a fight, it'll be epic.

I think he definitely defined what Jiwoo needs to achieve in order to keep up with high rankers as a close-ranged fighter.

I've read this somewhere else and can confirm that it's fantastic.

Phew. Just a fantasy. That's a relief.

So a superior is SAing a sleeping employee? Jesus, this went from 0 to 100 real quick.

Best girl aquired.

Well, the goalie was right and Maru was largely responsible for the hole in the defense.

And once again the names change. Always a bummer.

I think I prefer the previous revision.

To put the responsibility on the technician when a doctor signed discharge papers is very backwards. The person responsible was the doc and their superior for putting them in charge of night-shift without proper supervision. Ofc. technician input is important also but that is secondary.

The art in this chapter was kinda whack.

I've been really enjoying the queer representation! It's so rare in manga, so it's super refreshing.

Kyuukei, the man, the pervert. Thanks for translating. Not so much for all the horrible mental inagery.

I'm delighted to see this other side to Bruno. Being direct to the point of being abrasive isn't a good quality to have but it does give his positive interactions a rare authenticity.

Ok, it seems I spoke too soon. We got there.
