    Anyone here who's read ahead mind spoiling me? Will Gongja grow a spine at any point in the story?

    I couldn't help but cringe at how the romance was set up as it felt way too rushed and their relationship dynamic made him into a doormat tbh. His actions are just throwing me off a bit too much. I do realize he already has come a long way from practically having no self esteem but will he stay this 'submissive' throughout the story?

    I'm by no means trying to shit on the story as I actually think it's pretty good but it just irks me how passive he is when interacting with certain characters, especially Raviel.

    Well, to be fair, I've seen plenty of my male friends going gaga and bonkers when they fell in love. So, Gongja's behaviour in love seems pretty standard to me.

    Maybe if you've read the arc, you'd know. It's only like 2-3 chapters long.

    My bad, at chapter 144 The current arc is starting or ending? , I want to read again but for this story reading the full arcs is more satisfying

    The romance sub-arc is done, but the Library arc hasn't ended yet.

    So far as the novel goes, neither one is in love with him in the translated chapters, which is why they aren't the heroine. As for her, she's both a good character and actually has a good dynamic with the MC. She's a bit too much of an S for me sometimes but with Gong-ja it works.

    I mean, Black Dragon Witch can be pretty cute but I get why the author went with someone else. I think he wants the story to be a character piece, so having the MC end up with Best Girl (whoever that may be) is not necessarily the best play. It doesn't play into the themes of the story.

    I forgot the chapter number I was on, but he just finished his fight with the constellation killer and died while also experiencing a death penalty where he lived in the perspective of the constellation killer's bully before the constellation killer kermitted suicide as an earthling then contacted his orphanage director who was in school with the constellation killer and they just started a mission together in the book about the constellation killer's earth past.

    So quick question. The main character is a bad person right? I read a bit of the comic, but didn't read the first few chapters as I didn't know how committed I was. I saw that the mc seemed to be a good guy wanting a perfect ending, but I read the first few chapters and it seems like all he wants to be is the main character like the flame emperor was and he was not mentally stable. Even before meeting him he was criticizing him for how he acted in the media. Also he overheard the confrontation flame emperor had with this saint, heard that she tried to poison him, but ran away saying the guy is this evil psychopath. Yeah he killed our mc, but that's the only really bad thing he's ever seen him do. Then mc believing he has to erase the glory of the flame emperor uses his new skill to go back to the past and kill him. The guy tried to rob the mc, but this was calculated by the mc as some justification.

    So even before he keeps suicide himself the mc was crazy. He made the flame emperor into this big bad guy to take his place.

    So what I really want to ask is if the mc ever realizes how messed up he is and that the flame emperor wasn't the source of all evil. That he likely acts not nice due to having a skill to revive after death, so he's been through a lot.

    What skills does mc get? Can’t he just get killed by loads of people to get useful skills like current skills in manga aren’t that helpful for most things he should have looked for good skills to get first then go for tower

    Flame Emperor is an evil psychopath. Normal people don't cook other people alive. Only fault of Kim Gongja was being at the wrong place at the wrong time. You don't burn people alive for that unless you enjoy torturing people.

    "he likely acts not nice"
    That's like saying Ted Bundy had a little aggressive dating strategy.

    He does, actually. He matures more and more through the arcs and then he is forced to challenge his views on this former enemy and they kinda make up

    He didn't go back to erase his history, but to be able to kill him before he gets his regression skill.

    Tho we do have a dimension where flame emperor isn't a douche and mc can resurrect him kinda?

    I guess, but sort comes with the territory of a fire magic user. I've never read of a mc or character who uses fire to make it a point to make their attacks quick and painless.

    First, the Tower was the place for the exile, either they were forced to or volunteer (even the constellations were included). This meant that there were no sane people in the whole tower (you will realize this as you read more). In one chapter, the creator of the tower told him that returning to the past was his only chance to end the Flame Emperor perfectly, or else as both of them advanced, they would clash. It was like killed or be killed, no compromise.

    No it doesn't come with the territory. Flame Emperor has the capability of delivering a quick and painless death. This is how he stops him from running. Instant attack that severs limbs:

    And this is how he kills Kim Gongja:

    He could have pierced his heart, severed his head, pierced his skull, broke his neck, choke him. Hell he could have stabbed him with a pocket knife. He had many many options to kill that powerless hunter Kim Gongja. He choose to boil his brain alive.

    Guy sounds like an A hole. Still I haven't read any fire user in fiction go easy on a enemy. Or care to make it painless.

    It's either a "magic attack" that hurts but doesn't realistically show what getting hit with a fire ball would do to the body. Or they straight up get burned alive horrifically. No middle ground. All it is that we're seeing it from the other side.

    Well I guess the comic doesn't show the flame guy being that bad. I don't think his legs were severed. He caught the mc, asked him a few questions, said how he was justified, and burned him alive to keep his secret. And the mc be so unbalanced didn't make the fire guy that bad I guess.
