There is no good or evil, there nuance and perspective in actions, a murky pool of greyness, I can only think of the old Christian philosophers will you get the definite "good" and "evil". I was reading the entire story as though the perspective of out boi the Demon Lord. Even when he was not the pov, back in my head he was the protagonist, this was his plan, he was watching with us, so even if he was not mentation there was a connection. Only with the chapter with Kang betrayal did my bubble burst. Looking objectively the demon lord was not good, and despicable but I guess I was charmed with by your good writing. With Korea being destroyed I realised it was not all fun and games. Masterclass writing in elevating the stakes. "Are we the baddie Sin" was a play with "Are we the baddie Hans" it was a meme to represent me looking at the perspective of (Kang / Sakura / Gabriel / The World) seeing the Demon Lord in new light. I really charmed in looking at in one perspective (Demon Lord), it was one of the best moments as a reader to see that subverted. I personally thank you for this great novel.
Wait the Demon Lord threats the entire world like a game, a piece of media, he is behind the scene, all-powerful and mysterious. But a layer above is the author, manipulating the demon lord to mauplating the world, the demon lord is amusement to the author, as the world to the demon lord. But a layer above the author is the readers, we are watching the author manipulate the demon lord manipulating the world. We the readers was okay when things were going along with the plan, with our best boi (Demon lord) winning. “Nobody panics when things go “according to plan”. Even if the plan is horrifying!” ― The Joker (Dark Knight). Are we the baddies, Sin?
This Novel just reached my top 5. I am getting the same chills as from Experimental Log of Crazy lich or my first web novel that pushed me into the rabbit hole. I have read enough system/wuxia novels that, I know the cliches the back of my hand, to see originality is just amazing. I salute the author for creating an original masterpiece. Good Job
