@nye If a species exactly like us existed except they couldn’t die, most humans would probably fear them first before seeing them as human. We’d justify capturing and studying them in the name of science or safety.
Ajin kinda shows how easy it is for people to stop seeing others as “human” the moment they become different. It's in our nature to put ourselves first

@punyemas The problem is we don’t actually know what he means by “evil” or “innocent.” If his definition is too rigid like thinking anyone who has ever killed is automatically evil, then that line starts to fall apart. It would mean he’s not really judging people on context, intention, or circumstances, but just applying one harsh rule to everyon

@Pete Fax, the author really cooked and showed his skills in other genre. It's crazy how some people dropped it because they couldn't handle some romance n bs reason like the murim arc was too "long"

@Thomas Gowin where tf will u get a phoenix from

@Satan Well it looks like the paradox already started when our MC killed the Flame Emperor, because how can our MC have something when the source is gone?

Novikov self-consistency principle states that (in simple words): If time travel is possible, you can’t change the past in a way that creates a contradiction. Which means that you can’t kill the Flame Emperor if it would contradict future events. So the MC would not be able to kill him in a way that breaks the timeline.

BUT, if we say that a multiverse exists, then it would be plausible to say that when our MC kills himself, he goes into Timeline B, which is different from the original timeline. Then it wouldn’t create a paradoxical situation because they are not the same timeline, therefore not the same future.

@True Love Because the flame emperor can't be killed in other way cause of his ability. So even if our mc gets strong he can't, that's why if our mc kills the flame emperor BEFORE he awaken his ability then finally can our mc get rid of that guy

@Flawer You’re trying to apply realism to a world that’s already built on impossible circumstances 🫩 cellular monsters alone make that expectation a bit misplaced. Fiction like this isn’t meant to mirror everyday human behavior, it’s meant to elevate certain traits into meaningful impact.

Soyeon, for the most part hasn’t contributed much beyond being a burden if anything, even the streaming girl had more narrative weight and influence on events.

Iseul, while sharp-tongued and constantly questioning, isn’t defined by her attitude alone. Her value comes from the fact that she actually makes deliberate, strategic choices that align with the MC’s path. Intelligence in fiction isn’t about how many questions a character asks, but about the consequences of their decisions.

If the goal was relatability, then we’d expect hesitation, weakness and uselessness because that’s human.
