This villain named Jang Ilso is so sexy. I can't even concentrate that much on the story whenever he appears. I think he show up on ch 400+ I have to keep reminding myself that he's a bastard who proudly show off his huge red flag. And it doesn't work anyway-
Speaking of villains-
Jang Ilso, Bob-jeong (well, I forgot how is he spelled but he's Shaolin's leader) and the heavenly demon. If it's normal, heavenly demon would be the final boss. But I have a gut feeling that author would somehow play us readers on their hand again and this novel itself can't be guessed at all. You will just lose your braincells- it's just that unpredictable.
And the damn Jongnam hadn't come out even after 1000+ chapters. I'm also wary of them.
[collapse]This is one of the best stories that got me obsessed to the point of thinking about this everyday and can't help but self insert myself in the fantasies.The protagonist- Chung Myung is the old ancestor with a young look who got reincarnated 100 years later after he died. You all know this, this was pratically said in the synopsis.This novel will leave you all laughing to the point of your stomach hurting. Yet, comedy and rebuilding isn't the only point and charm of this story.It's funny when Chung Myung yelled to the sky, calling for his sahyung, right? Right, I also thought it was actually funny at first. Until I thought It wasn't.No matter how strong a man is, their mind is the real point. I'm not saying Chung Myung has weak mental strength. I'm saying that he is a human as well and has his limits.War from the past where he lost his sahyungs, sajils, friend, the whole sect- his family left scars on him. Which the author occasionally shows and reminds the readers that Chung Myung is a human. PTSD, I hope you are familiar with this. And it's not to be taken lightly.Sure, he is hella strong. And sure, he has the memory of the strong swordsman. He has the advantage of knowing the essence of martial arts, especially that of Mount Hua Sect and how to make himself stronger and stronger.Yeah, yeah, he seems like he has little difficulty and everything is smooth-sailing for him because he is the protagonist.Did it really appear like that to you? Really? Then, congratulations! You haven't figured out of dept of this priceless gem so far!Face it! Chung Myung has feelings! He has the moment when he feels alone, so alone. Man's the only one who has another whole actual memory with different people in the same place. He might even feel like he's in another world.I feel sorry for him but I'm proud of him at the same time. He felt relief when he managed to kill the heavenly demon. He managed to avenge his family. He would feel like they would welcome him with open arms in afterlife.Until he opened his eyes again to a familiar yet unfamiliar world, with the memories only he has. If I was in his place, I would go crazy for sure.He was met with betrayal from the other great sects. They didn't help Mount Hua when it was faced by the revenge driven invasion of the remnants of the demonic sect. To the Mount Hua that protected the world, that protected them in the process. And then, the history forgot that Mount Hua protected the world. Funnily and heartbreaking enough, the demonic sect was the one who never forgot the Mount Hua who killed their leader.He ran and ran to the Mount Hua with the skinny -almost bones- weak body of a younger beggar. And it was on verge of ruins with their properties that was proudly shown before were sold to feed the disciples and keep the sect intact, and the sect's techniques lost. The old leaders would have felt like someone was cutting their flesh each time they were in desperation. And he never blamed the disciples and previous sect leaders for doing that. Because he felt like it was ultimately their generation's fault for setting out to the battlefield.Despite the fact that he has a potty mouth, is an a**hole, a rotten- ahem, he has a beautiful soul. All his purpose in this new life was to make the Mount Hua not as strong as the previous one- but, stronger. To the extent, it could stand proudly even after he died. As you guessed, he would face various obstacles along the way.The thing I love about is- Chung Myung a genius among genius, a genius that was never seen before in his previous life. His skills far surpassed other older than his age even when he was young. As a result, jealousy occurs. Thankfully, there was this sahyung and sajil that truly love and care him like a true family at least.Facing with Chung Myung strength and skills no one know where it comes from, this new Mount Hua from 100 years later fully embraced Chung Myung. I love them so much-His dreams- no, nightmares were the memory of the past that haunted him. And they still haunted him. And it hurts.Return of Mount Hua sect/ Return of Blossoming blade/ Return of Flowery Mountain and whatever names it still has, we all can agree that it's beautiful.My fav characters so far- (as some of them are from later chapters, I'm adding this to the spoiler) SpoilerChung Myung (as you expected. I can't help but love this hardworking baby old man)
Baek Cheon- arrogant to the boot and selfish? So annoying? Frog in the well young master? Breaking head is the answer! (I want to see silver dragon)
Yu Iseol- mah baby~ so pretty, so gorgeous! I want to pat her head.
Yoon Jang- ohmygodthoseeyes- a true taoist
Jo Gal- who says you are just a small merchant's child, huh?
Tang So So- wants to commit su*cide thinking back to when she tried to marry Chung Myung to get out of her family's influence. She is a free bird now. Injuries? Saliva is the answer! *The ancestor is so proud. Jpg
Tang Bo- can't leave him out. Yo, the official art had plum blossom color hairpin on Tang Bo and green of Tang family on Chung Myung. You know what I know *winks* (Tang Bo is so proud of Tang So So, Saliva is the answer!)
Hye Yeon- baby, so cute! Literally the only Shaolin I like in this story. The former white dragon who got his color dyed into black by another black dragon (CM)
Jang Ilso- I got spellbound by this motherf*cker. And I'm glad he ain't real. If any fanfic writers are reading this, help me add more Jang Ilso fics in the holy land of ao3, humm?
Lee Songbaek- once again! Breaking head is the answer! Looks like a rabbit. I'm proud of him. The future thirty-six sword emperor of Jongnam.
And there are more but I'm tired so, I'll stop with this much lol
[collapse]Perseverating and persisting, the plum blossoms will bloom again without fail even in the harsh time.Thank you for listening (reading) to this long speech.*Bow head*I hope that you all can enjoy this lovely story as much as I do.
