![]() ![]() In order for a story to be about personal growth, the main character must be quite flawed in the beginning. The chapters where Jihu apologizes all the people he has hurt are so raw that they hurt to read a little, in a good way.Īnd, everybody who whines about Jihu being a "beta" or weak-willed or other silly descriptors in the beginning is just self-reporting. I like that it's not a one and done thing. Upon realizing this, he makes real efforts to grow and apologize and make amends. Paradise is his escape, just as gambling was. When he was back on Earth, he had to be constantly confronted with the painful consequences of his actions. It's the one thing in his life that he was succeeding at, that he could be good at. One thing I like a lot is that Jihu channels his former gambling addiction and self-loathing into a terrible obsession with Paradise. ![]() With his entrance into Paradise, he throws himself at the trials that await him. His future self only has enough contribution points to send back his undying emotions, which are enough to suddenly fill Jihu with a overwhelming. He's truly a garbage scumbag at the start. Seol Jihu is a fantastic tr*sh protagonist. I want to start with the character growth. I'm not saying Second Coming of Gluttony is objectively better, just that I liked it more. ![]() This is saying a lot, since I prefer it even compared to masterpieces like Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, Kidnapped Dragons, and Lord of the Mysteries. ![]()
