To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Eat the World Tree. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of both Eastern and Western folklore and culture, most of the references will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Si-heon's optimistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from his experiences and desire to be different than the World Tree or Flower. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this doctrine, to realize that the novel isn't just smut- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Eat the World Tree truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, Wiki's Qlippoth system or the Sephirot system which are cryptic references to the Kabbalah. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Yamyeong's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have an Eat the World Tree tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
