Her alone makes this worth following. She's typically written as the soft and too easily bossed around type until she finally took her head out of her ass and did the right thing. Thankfully.
What I wanted to note was that her outfits are NOT sexualized. Her poses are not just tits and ass. There's zero jiggle physics. Huzzah!
Even more amazingly her outfits covers her from head to toe. No cleavage, no butt crack, no hips or slit in her (non-existant) skirt from ankle to waist. She wears sensible and NOT skin tight pants. NO. Skin. Showing. Nothing. Except on her hands and face, that's it. Half the time you canNOT tell she's even a woman. Just, so awesome.
Her armor is...pathetic BUT they are not boob armors or manhwa's version of chain mail bikinis.
SHE WEARS COMBAT BOOTS IN ACTUAL COMBAT. What. The. Fuck.
Amazing. All around just so cool. I love it.
Best of all he has no younger or older sister or mother in the hospital. I'm so tired of that cliche. I want little or older brothers now.
EDIT: I've always wondered this but why don't S. Koreans use their own mythology and creatures? Sure, there's the dokkaebi and the imugi that occassionally shows up but the big, religious pantheons are always, and I do meant ALWAYS, Norse or Chinese.
What's up with that? I'm sure Koreans have their own gods and goddesses. Why don't they show up more? Why is the Norse World Tree such a thing in Korea of all places?
Especially this story. Asgard is in S. Korea and members who seem to be ethnic Koreans take on alias's like Baldur, Odin and Haimdall? Really? What happened to Northern Europe that an East Asian country is now taking over their myths and gods?
Like, "The Nile" is the pantheon of Egypt. "Knights of the Round Table" and "Freemasons" are organizations in England and the US respectively. The Japanese have their own and so do the Greeks, some of whom like Athena, seems to be the bad guys here.
Also, I've found exactly one manhwa, despite reading literally hundreds of these kinds of gates/towers/player manhwa and novels, that uses any kind of traditional Korean clothes, handicrafts and so on. That one manhwa is Return of the Frozen Player. The main, powerful, supporting characters all wear some variation of Korean traditional clothes and it looks so freaking cool.
In Chinese manhua and Japanese manga, they always tout their native wares, clothes and customs as superior. Which, I mean, the stories are made by Chinese and Japanese so it should be that way.
Whereas the S. Koreans do not. They write about...dwarves? They have swords that occassionally take on classical Korean weaponry shapes and names but 99% of the time they will be fantasy-based OR takes legendary European weapons instead.
It's so bizarre.
