I wonder if he realizes at this point that he's explicitly acting like the protagonist. Like the villain that went after the og protag is targeting him now, all of the problems that will stem from this first one will target him too.

I wonder what the ratio is of people reading this for these story arcs vs. the main duo's relationship

The story is fine enough, but, much like So I'm A Spider, So What, my interest is very strongly correlated with the amount of time the FMC is on-screen.

I wonder if they did a significant cut in content this time too. Lets wait for the LN reader to fill us in ig

The main duo's relationship is what sets this story apart
Sad so much of their relationship get's cut tho

At this point I'm half expecting the LN reader to eventually tell us "this chapter skipped over Kyunwoo and Haneul getting married."

So the major cut content here is Haneul wondering about the aftermath of fighting Min Arin and meeting Lisa Grace, something like 5th Princess of the Grace Empire (I forget her exact position). Haneul actually acknowledges Arin as a credible threat and that she probably would've lost had she not rushed forward. She also wonders if Arin would take revenge by bringing the full power of the Min family on her, but Haneul concludes Kyunwoo will protect her. She thinks for a while about how dependable he is and her mood drastically improves because she is thinking about him.

When she meets Lisa, she is not hostile at all. Rather Haneul is extremely friendly towards Lisa because she remembers Kyunwoo watching her and muttering about recruiting her. And whatever Kyunwoo wishes for, Haneul will also wish for because the last thing she wants to do is get in his way. They immediately party up and abscond with all the supplies. She also wonders if she should change her hairstyle to be more like Lisa's and then squeals and kicks imagining his reaction to be "you look good with anything". Just as Kyunwoo has "a degree in Haneul Psychology", Haneul is also confident in her assessment of Kyunwoo's thought process. In particular she realizes Kyunwoo is not interested in Lisa as a member of the opposite sex so she is not a love rival.

Something that we should all be glad was cut is Kyunwoo being a total ass to Eunbi. The deal for splitting up the supplies was Eunbi had to write her name with her butt in front of him 3 times, once for each friend in her group. He even wanted to record it on his phone. How the author thought this was okay and not degrading is... Kyunwoo also considered asking Haneul to wiggle her rabbit tail but decided against it because he knew he'd get a face full of hammer instead. Honestly wish there were more City Hunter moments like this.

ALSO when Haneul heard that people were trying to gang up on Kyunwoo, she deployed her hammer and ran off to go save him.

ALSO ALSO Lisa Grace is the saintess and the original game pushed her as the Female Lead and Love Interest for Kang Hanbyeol. Haneul was a villainess. So this is the chapter where saintess and OG villainess meet for the first time!

Uhhhh I'm pretty sure that trying to lure people in with proposals of collaboration and then ambushing them is a war crime...

Crap grammar in the literal first speech bubble....

To my understanding Eunbi isn't betraying them, she is only broadcasting Kyunwoo's location and telling other people to go fight him.

So Kyunwoo isn't 'ambushing' them either, he's just waiting for challenges to show up and beat them down.

this is something that Chinese do better than the South Koreans… SK manwhas follow the novel too closely imo

...I'm sorry, what?

Hold on, 200 years ago, empire, princess? Did I forget about important lore details or did they just drop crazy stuff out of nowhere?

200 years ago was talked about in like Chapter 1 when Kyunwoo talked about the background of the world. There's a reason why the dates align. The cataclysm Kyunwoo refers to in Chapter 1 is the Grace Empire unceremoniously smashing its way into this world.

Didnt know bro was freaky like that

 

[Clarus_Nox]

Another chapter with no bunny tail, and it sounds like a scene that'd focus on it was even cut out. u.u

 

[ederstk]

Okay, that's enough for me. There are only dull fights and very little development in the relationship with the rabbit girl.
