What even is the plot again?
So I skipped from chapter 97 to this chapter because of a feeling I had since around a third of the way in.
That is, to put it simply, this manhwa is just an exercise in frustration. Plot beats keep getting repeated, nothing is ever resolved, the characters only increase in number and nothing else—the only thing that change is the scale.
Now, that's already a problem, but the way every character speaks always tries to emphasize finality, whether I agree or not with their beliefs it all just come across as the literal hand of the author stopping them, over and over again, and it just leads to stagnation of any poignant development.
Basically, the plot here is overwrought, completely. If it ever finishes, I bet we can all look back at the start and think: "Man, this story could've deleted 70% of the chapters it has and it'll end up a better story."
This is all just my opinion of course, but honestly, you're better off watching some playthrough of any Yakuza game in YouTube.
