LCD The Second Coming of Gluttony

He wasn’t joking and no he’s worse in the comic the novel at least made it obvious he cared about ex and considered her place the one place he could always go to.


His reaction to the money another example in the novel he’s happy till he realises she’s pissed off and sad while in the comic he just got angry she only gave him 2000$

 

oh thats actually a really interesting thought i didnt think of that. i dont think the god would come back just cause i think the author would avoid doing that to add more factions and confusion but seol getting the divinity would be interesting, like maybe he has to gather all the divinity before he can kill the parasite queen.

 

Yeah something like this, but I disagree that chinese novels are shit.

Chinese novels excel at world building. I don't know why but they are incredibly intresting in that regard - all those sects, skills, history, events. Everything else is shit though - from power levels that grow exponentially to relations between groups of people when it is either friend or to-be-genocided. AND TOO MUCH OF SAVING FACE (I just can't). MC is usually 5 years old child - petty as the one and acts as the one His plot armor bends the reality itself.

Japanese novels excels at communication framework. Relations between characters are superb. But everthing else is so so - novels usually have not very detailed world and not incredibly interesting skills and abilities. Too much stuff that works good in manga (like fanservice events) when put in the novels just doesn't work. Also every novel feels like a slice of life no matter what danger is in the story. MCs are just hobos. But good looking most of the time.

Korean are not bad. Good world building - chinese worldbuilding that went through the japanese filter. However the world doesn't provide the impression of being vast - it always feels limited. MCs are usually walking robots or AIs, that calculate everything and everybody. Also novels tend to show nationalism out of nowhere from time to time.

 

lets not hope it becomes another overgeared

 

In the novel he made the impression of a abusing husband or a drunkard who visited his wife or girlfriend. Really felt similar.
Here he is kinda like...More childish? In the novel he is more deep.

Superficial basically. Novel had greater impact.

Anyway at least we will see the harem.

I wonder if he will become executor. Why he hasn't become one as of yet?
Regarding divinity...Maybe parasite queen collects it back? Executor should probably also have some form of divinity or similar power.

 

i think theres no way he doesnt become the executor for gulla. idk if she has one or not it might have just been mentioned but i cant remember but she obviously thinks very highly of seol and seems to at least know about the previous him from the first timeline so now that his "star" has become so bright i think it shows hes ready to take center stage for her and start turning the war around

 

Now rereading from the very beginning. We didn't see Han - the guide - anymore no?

 

Guy wasn’t very important but maybe we’ll see him for the next tutorial that I’m sure Seol will use to find some fresh blood

 

eeee

Because manhwa has to be over the top for everything. One of the things that pisses me off is how they draw emotions. A character might have normal emotions, but they draw it over the top and it just feels wrong. They also often don't correspond to how the character is portrayed in the novel

 

I mean they can’t even get hair colour right both Seol and ex have black hair going by the novel pictures

honestly more than hating the comic I’m more worried it’ll give people the wrong idea and change important events

 

not only by pictures, but by the text too. Characters have different heights, body builds, hair color.. it's a complete mismatch

 

i don't mind him being like this here. I don't see the big change since he have to be a monster with gambling problems.

 

i mean to be fair. in the novel they tell us that he is supposed to be unforgivable. but what we saw of him in the novel, even when he was at his absolute worst, was still easily forgivable, even if he went on exactly like that for that last 4 years straight. at least the manhwa version of the mc seems worse so its easier to buy that everyone in his life hates him to the point that even if he spends months on end proving himself to be better, they will refuse to even think about forgiving him.

 

Stealing his little sister car and laptop, treating everyone like shit and lying till the point they don’t trust him and all and only calling or going to them when he needs money isn’t small and also the money was around 120k not a small amount even more when the family wasn’t wealthy to begin with and sister even said the parents were not doing good so he’s quite literally been parasiting off them for 4 odd years with every admit to help him been met with lies or him cracking the shits.

and for unforgivable the brother forgives him fast and the mother never gave up on him and while his ex haven’t completely forgived him she obviously still loves him a lot also read chapter 2 and 3 again it showed enough


Edit also the fact of the matter is the novel version of the scene was just much better than saying a cockroach was in his coffee

 

maybe i have a different view on those actions as i have a family member who did all this and worse.

Spoiler: shitty person

she also tricked 3 separate family members into buying her the same car and pocketed the money from two of them. "borrowed" money monthly to pay bills but no one was ever payed back and would cry and yell to other family members that you were harassing her if you ever asked for the money back. stole from literally everyone. the family was pretty divided on how to treat her. then she took a bunch of money from everyone who would still lend her cash and then disappeared for like 7 years only to randomly show up at a birthday party one year and pretended like nothing happened.

she apologized and we all forgave her after a time. so nah, novel seol didn't seem all that bad. at least he had a gambling addiction he could blame it on. real person i could relate this to was just a jerk since she was a kid.

 

You’re family is way to forgiving I’d say also seven year is a long time unlike Seol who was literally calling his dad on chapter 2 time heals wounds but when the wounds are still ripped right open and it’s many wounds over a long period of time obviously they aren’t in the mood to forgive

 

well.. none of this is a good thing, but if you judge from the description of the novel, it paints a much darker picture. I thought he was some kind of bandit, but all he did was taking his family's money. In the grand scheme of thins, this is actually not that bad. Some people with gambling addiction have it much worse.

 

Did you miss the stole from his little sister bit?

Yeah he’s a asshole but the comic kind of overdid it and just removed any good quality that was shown in the first few chapters for him also they are removing a lot of information

 

no, I didn't. I came reading the novel with an expectation that he is a complete criminal, rapist, fraudster, drug addict. And what I got was gambling addiction and fallout with his family... I was underwhelmed. I can't even call him despicable because of his addiction. By definition it's not something he can easily control, and knowing how many people in reality suffer just as much and do worse things - well, I kinda even sympathized with him. Why da heck didn't his family help him? They could've probably forced him into some kind of gambling recovery program or therapy? Part of this is their own fault
