He was possibly played. As I recall, having an immortality contract includes you in the protection offered by the contract itself.

Rachel is SUI's favorite character, and probably was treated as an untouchable because she had the job of interacting with Baam outside the Tower. I like that her irregular power is being a stone cold bitch but I kind of wish SIU would put a little more thought into writing her with more subtlety than "oh im going to press the give popular character a heart attack button now."

I actually just stopped reading for a year or so just before the Hell Train and just jumped back in a bit before the Floor of Death. Never went back, I probably missed some stuff, but it's not like White's whole deal is hard to pick up on from context, for example.

Two Tone Shoes posted:I dunno I thought the Workshop Battles did the test stuff as good or better than the rest. Tied the story right into the test very well. I could see testing coming up if Bam is forced to take the test from an administrator again. Otherwise it would mostly be about the politics around fairness of testing when the person taking the test is at war with Jahad. But technically that's every slayer candidate...

i read rak as a sort of a loving/gentle satire of traditional korean masculinity, while tog itself is an extremely queer comic in a culture where that can't be talked about openly. like bam/androssi has a sort of neo/trinity feel where the character is actually expressing the author's love for his own feminine self luckily siu is so obsessive about characterization that he just gave an extensive backstory to a character he immediately killed off, so androssi already has more characterization under her belt than trinity got across three films Hodgepodge fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Jun 30, 2021 |

I will say no more than these incredibly vauge generalities, which I will still spoiler but things are looking very interesting in terms in where Baam and White are in the fast pass chapters. Also there are interesting cuts to other situations. As a tease: Khun.

Yeah, I may or may look into it, but it's nice to have the option when you just have to know what happens next. Likewise I read ahead a lot in Kubera, but it's awkward because the new stuff is only available as a translated script and you have to switch between it and the raw.

i guess english is kind of a high demand skill so it's probably hard to retain talent. 'his majesty' should probably be translated using the royal plural and/or singular. so like "One's attack isn't so easily blocked. You should know Our sword never misses." or something. i like the goofiness because hey the grammar isn't even reliably correct in the official release right now.

Jose posted:Apparently all of the stuff on webtoons.com has freelancer translations who have to work for speed more than anything else. The essence of bravery is supposed the really be the essence of nothingness Yeah, I think the literal version is close to "essence of mu." Which of course is connected to Buddha nature. But in Knight Run's clumsy translation, priest dude describes Prey's power as arising from "her karma, 'mu'" which I guess also can mean "killing spirit" in maybe sort of the sense of being perfectly receptive/reactive and non-attached (with one notable exception). Anyhow I know like one or two of you read Knight Run (or the translated prologue).

Jose posted:we know specifically that there is because the key to get into it requires all of the month weapons and the rings that Karaka and Wangnan have. Data Jahad wanted Bam to get the real Jahad to start climbing again We also know that the Administrator of the next floor attacked Jahad and his team when they went in. Jahad and the 10 family leaders are, collectively, not on Enryu's level and presumably on some level preparing to try to kill it. That was part of Enryu's gently caress you to Jahad. For all of what's happening, Jahad knowns Enryu could kill him and is letting fate play out instead.

Two Tone Shoes posted:Well we know the Tower isn't like...a tower that you climb up the stairs to climb. You basically have to teleport from one floor to the next. Which seems next to impossible without the Guardians doing it or being an irregular who can open the ways themselves. Yeah, the Middle Area can be used by Rankers to bypass the need for an Administrator to teleport you between floors, as well as being an area of each floor where people live. The paths can be quite dangerous though, so you can't travel as recklessly as Yuri does unless you happen to be a badass with a Guide, which happens to be precisely what Yuri is.

Two Tone Shoes posted:Yeah but that's for people who have already been teleported up the floors. You can go back down to any floor you've been through in the middle area but you can't just climb the tower by going into the middle area and getting lucky. I mean, the Ranker system has been going on for thousands of years, so a lot of it is probably lower ranking families distantly related to the main family, branch families, and situations with Khun where he's playing stud and has lots of kids but your whole family can get cut off due to politics.
