I thought she was Yeon, who couldn't control her fire ability when we first saw her.

Hi. I'm a Chelsea fan since 2010. Please murder me with a piece of pipe. thanks.
I recall some ranker saying she is important for the future of the tower or something like that. so if it's her, she can't be dead right?

I've actually really liked Yeon for a long time now, and her and Rak vs. the swordsman dude in the Name Station was one of the hypest fights in the series for me personally so far. Do you think she's finally come to terms with how she is basically a traitor to the regime? I think when she finally accepts her true feelings she'll be able to come into her own. But there's another character we haven't seen in ages that I'm eager to see again, and that's Anak. Poor lizard girl has been dropped like a sack of rocks from the story, and that's quite unfair IMO.

I think Anak was dropped because her big story arc is going to have to deal with all the other princesses in this little Princess War that SIU's been building up. She has a lot more stakes in that than in all the Hell Train Baam Gets Stronger stuff. It's not like sticking her with Baam and the tension of being a traitor to the empire (hello Endorsi) is really applicable to her, someone whose existence is already traitorous.

I expect she'll be a Big Deal in this next arc.

There was a big backlash from the larger fanbase about Jaminisbox doing a quick translation because said translations obviously don't support SIU. Jaminisbox decided to no longer make their early translations from the korean raw public.

As it is now, no one really knows what LINE (the official translation) is loving doing because it makes no sense. They have the advance issues, a month in advance no less, and plenty of time to translate it but are deciding not to. They haven't even settled on anything except "in March" and have changed the time of next release like 3 times already.

They're probably waiting around to build a backlog of a few issues to sell early access for for cash like they have done with some other popular series.

SIU does that with his fanclub/subscribers essentially. That's the backlog I'm talking about them having access to. We've always been a handful of chapters behind paying Korean customers.

So yeah it looks like Line has set up a fast pass thing for English, too. You have to use their mobile app and only that (for some stupid reason) and it's 2-3 chapters ahead of the free chapter, which just officially dropped today. Essentially you can pay fifty cents a week to get the newest fast pass chapter and consistently stay ahead of the free release.

I mean, this has been a thing in Korea for a while and I've just ignored it, so this really has no effect on most viewers either way. I've known for a long time now that the English webtoons translations have all always been behind their Korean originals, and some are significantly far behind, like the original finished years ago and the translation is still going 1 week at a time.

It's possible that it's up earlier because now with the preview thing the translators have 3 issues in advance to do, and as such something something Sunday release.

All webtoons release at 6pm pst the day before, since the end of last year.

I think he was cool with killing those dog soldier guys because they are mind controlled and basically not human anymore, from what little we saw. He was willing to kill the big boss guy because he supported that. He didn't try to murder the girl trying to get a job.

Catching up, but did SIU really just unceremoniously kill off Yeon? That's a bummer. The series has had a bit of a cast bloat for a while so maybe it was necessary but it still feels unwarranted especially when it didn't really feel like her arc was done.

hard to believe anyone really dies in this series anymore

who was the last non-data person to die? akraptor and that prince dude years ago? Hard to imagine they'd just kill her when they'd be more valuable as hostages if the idea was to get to baam

Personally? I think she was dropped because she's really hard to draw without looking off. I like her as a character but she'd need a less-awkward-to-draw form like Rak got.

I think I would have preferred Baam's crew to remain about the same as it was, with all his allies made along the way coming to his aid in one form or another in the grand finale. Though I have no idea if this webtoon will ever reach a grand finale before Baam's turned everyone into a friend/corpse.

I think the teammate swap thing makes sense. Sachi and Boro knew they were getting way in over their heads so decided to part ways and climb on their own. Kaiser's indebted/grateful to Baam and you don't really need to make an excuse for her strength, since she's just as strong as Endorsi (who will probably be joining Baam all the way up the tower along with Rak and Khun).

I would be perfectly fine if the main crew is Baam, Khun, Rak, Endorsi, and the guy who is basically Leorio, whose name escapes me at the moment, the guy in charge of team Not As Good But Still Pretty Good, with Anak and FoldedOneThousandTimesKatanaMan

So his name is supposed to be Baylord Yama, right, not Bayload? Bay like "baying", lord cus he's their master, right? Also I love how completely nonchalant Bam was about that "fight." Precious cinnamon roll didn't give a poo poo after his training with Evankhell.

Also Ehwa potentially not being dead makes me happy, but it also feels like a trap considering what we saw two chapters ago where she and sword dude looked preeeeeetty dead
