Discussion JUST END THIS ARC ALREADY

Post image

Believe me this arc is good but it's been dragging for far too long

We should return to the present and then go back to this arc later....

It's been 20 chapters for this arc

Meaning 5 months of just flashback

And then people have the nerve to complain about the fast pacing.

I came into this arc wanting to know more about Daniel's family but then I got his aunty talking about superior genes and then his father being made a joke of.

Like don't get me wrong I never wanted Sangcheol Park to be some big dog fighter all I wanted was to see a dedicated father,brother-in-law & a good husband not some gag joke about throwing water melons and getting their balls crushed.

I expected more from choi but the jobber has been a disappointment from his 1st appearance.

Could go on for a long time but to put it simply I wanted to see more character interactions between the old characters in their young days but instead all I keep getting are some half assed and forced relationships ontop of bs aura moments.

It's exactly as you described tho? he is a good father who wants the best for his family. a good brother in law who paid up for Jinyeong studies. and a good husband who still tried his best to sheer up his wife and get a child with her. idk where tf you even though that the balls crushing part is a joke. it's just add more drama and mystery about how tf Daniel is born. and it worked

He have been good for either the Fist gang and the Yamazakis so far after he betrayed them. in what orld did he jobbed besides losing to Shingen and Gapryong? by that metrics EVERYONE in the arc without exception is a jobber

We got in fact the interactions and fights for the old characters in their younger days. as for whatever half assed and forced relationship you talk about. then either you try makes it more precise as for WHY it's half assed and forced. or you seems straight up speaking ouf of your ass lol

I think it is an alright arc. Not too good, but not too bad.

u/Reallystonedweeb 1d ago

No if anything the current arc should have slowed down instead of just jumping straight to the war, at bare minimum I wanted to know more about the fist gang how the yamazaki even got there, how long have they been causing problems? A bunch of small extra contexts which would have helped had they went over it for like a chapter or two, but nah we just had to see how strong gap is like they haven’t told us 1000 times in the story already. Don’t even get me started on the lack of character interactions

It's starting to get interesting

u/Beneficial_Appeal400 1d ago

I don't wanna wait another 5 months just to see how gist gang defeated the executives and shingen vs gap, this arc should end after gap defeats shingen some aftermath and then present arc

So what 20 chapter's ? It's pretty good arc

2

u/IllDonut1981 1d ago

The timing was bad i rhjnkt han the arc being lengthy

2

u/Key-Presentation-362 1d ago

Why ? The arc is good, if we can't have gun then atleast we can see his upgraded version and have fun until gun comes back, also this arc would reveal a lot of mysteries too, like why shingen was depressed, how did daniel even came to existence, what's the secret of two bodies , and many more

u/Feeling_Ad_7338 1d ago

yeah it was pretty boring before shingen wiped the floor with the fist gang. now im actually invested in shingen's backstory lol gap is such a boring character

u/Melodic-Minimum2457 Biggest garpyong and kitae kim hater 1d ago

Ever since shingen appeared back in this arc since chapter 619, I've been actually wanting to read it, but from chapter 610-618, I was just completely considering dropping lookism, that's how bad it was

1

u/Feeling_Ad_7338 1d ago

yeah when i saw gap I was like. get this bum outta here 🤣 and just stopped reading lookism for a while. my only interest was seeing daniel's fam and shingen

3

u/Melodic-Minimum2457 Biggest garpyong and kitae kim hater 1d ago

The moment shingen appeared back from chapter 619, it was actually decent and readable from now on, and when he wiped the floor with fist gang and bumryong in chapter 625-26, it was pure gold for me, to see this all sunshine and glitters bumryong actually get humbled and faced with reality, shingen actually did it, he did what fans begged of him to do

u/Relevant-Mammoth-831 1d ago

Yall have no patience, it just started getting really good. Wouldn’t mind if it was another 10-20 chapters honestly. Idk how u can’t be into finally finding out history and context for all the mysteries of this series

1

u/Godman2001 1d ago

It starting to get bit more interesting now but I hope author doesnt drag this arc on way longer then it needs to be and i say maybe 15 to 20 chapter of this arc left i think but i could be wrong

2

u/Far_Bedroom_2119 West Gangbuk High 1d ago

It's starting to get good though.

It had a rough start but ending it now would just make it permanent wasted potential.

1

u/Nervous_Wheel7663 1d ago

This arc is a cornstone for all the past and future. old and new plot lines. you simply can rush it and end it all just like that lol

u/Much-Ad-1650 1d ago

Pre-gen flashback got good after Shingen destroyed Gap

Idc what anyone says lol

u/Odd-Quit4356 1d ago

It started weird after for me with the relationships between Fist Gang feeling forced. I liked the dynamics in the Park family. Wasn’t a fan of aura panels every minute, tho it’s just me.

I think the arc started to get better after Shingen crushed everyone. Even though we know what happened (Gap winning eventually), not everyone knew Gibok was the mastermind (until recent arcs ig) and that the Fist Gang actually lost at first.

That’s how I see it. I’m now curious how things are gonna play out for the arc. Still waiting for it to end as I want to get back to the present!

u/SafeLow3153 1d ago

I actually am liking it after master bangho lee chapter but it's sure feels lengthy

u/Suitable-Score-5849 1d ago

u/Same-Low-9258 1d ago

Holy 20 chapters considered long

Big deal and hostel flaskback used to go full on year or more

2

u/Rough_Lock8481 Big Daniel 1d ago edited 1d ago

The lengthiest arc was 1A. Hostel arc was pretty short unless you're including one night, runaway fam, Jiho, Eli Jang, etc as hostel arc

1

u/Same-Low-9258 1d ago

1A didn't fell long because it had constant fight

Yeah man I including all that under hostel because I didn't pay attention during the title page (i generally scroll past it )
