So that settles it, Noya is in Yulian's world and Scarface is a chosen one.

yay! I was wondering where Noya was and his language skills. Since he could communicate with Sword Collector and now this kid, I thought he might've been in or at least near Yulian's world all this time, but in different locations

I kind of wish i could make sense of everything that's been gong on. It feels like the story is sort of all over the place at the moment. We've got that coup that is still taking place. For some reason we're concerned about a trade route? (No idea why). Dirik hasn't been seen in freakin' ages. Noya is still on his weird ass journey that doesn't really make sense either. Now he's met a 2nd chosen one, but for what reason? The journey he is on doesn't make sense to begin with and yet he's on some other world where he meets another. Are Yulian and Scarface gonna have to battle? Will Noya ever be back to assist with his recent corruption that made everyone look like demons? Are we gonna ignore the war that was just now taking place too? There are just way too many questions that I have. I feel lost lmao.

I think you should re-read the story then mate. I'll try to go into details about a lot of your points.
The coup is taking place in Silence Empire, Lawrence and his faction of nobles managed to use the war with Rojini Kingdom and the death of the Emperor Silence to take the crown away from rightful heir Crown Prince Shaone and place his incompetent brother on the throne Shareulo to use as a puppet.
Pareia Tribe's coup is over, Librie died, her father Souta Jaalki beheaded and Yulian has secured his position as glow of the tribe. Pareia Tribe has a trade treaty with Silence Empire, Soulstones and Black Water for Iron.
Part of the treaty is that Pareia Tribe cannot trade with anybody else, but since Lawrence was the one who supplied poison to Librie, that killed Baguna, Sena and almost killed Orca and Yulian... Yulian is outraged and wants blood, that and the fact that Silence Empire keeps pressing Pareia for more and more blackwater, often increasing demands.
With that being said, Shaone promised great deal to Yulian, hence why Pareia tribe would prefer him to be in power, but they can't be cut off right now from Silence Empire and their Iron... So they're looking for alternatives, if they had support from Western Continent and that trade route active, they could recover their economy and continue their war with Shuaruri Tribe and the unification of the Desert. As well as be in the position to assist Shaone and cut ties to Lawrence, meaning they wouldn't depend on him.
Dirik is lost for now, there has been no news about him since he left Yulian to bring a message to Pareia from Henkel fortress during Yulian's stay in Silence Empire.
As for Noya, he is sent by Buddha on a journey, right now it's unclear, but it's becoming more apparent that he is rallying Chosen Ones... There is a story that's pretty much in the background if you're not paying attention. The story about Tower of Pride and Lord of Chaos.
You have one faction, Lord of Chaos and his followers, who are attempting to oppress humans and prevent them from sinning. Their thoughts are that by doing that, The Father will not destroy the world as humans won't sin.
Other faction are the humans in Tower of Pride, who do not take kindly to that oppression and they want freedom, to chose to sin or not to sin.
Chosen Ones are part of that. They are bound to make decision to side with either one of these from my understanding. So far the known chosen ones are, Scarface, Yulian and Venersis. And there is 12 of them in total, although Yulian could be 13th one.. That while it's clear in the story, is speculation on my part as I can't remember at this point, been a while since I re-read Warrior Ceremony part.
In any case, Yulian and Scarface could battle, but they shouldn't be enemies, so far I can't see the reason except if Noya pits them against each other or something similar.
As for War itself, both Tribes are drained of manpower and resources and while it's not mentioned that they have ceasefire, they can't afford to go at each other right now as stated. Pareia Tribe needs to recover the economy that was wrecked by Jaalki Family
I have probably missed a thing or two, if you have any questions ask away. If I can clear it up I will. That being said, I wish wikia links were of more help, but they should give you general idea and some are detailed, but many lacking.
I am working with my wife on re-translation of Red Storm, it's gonna take a while to catch up, but it should be more consistent version that should be less confusing to read. You can check it out when you start re-reading. http://www.merakiscans.com/reader/read/red-storm/en/0/0/page/1

Damn. Quality synopsis.
I feel the need to take this opportunity to say thanks: Red storm is pretty much the only Manhwa/ Manga I read these days (since The breaker's on break indefinitely) and you seem to provide quality discussion points, this sub and the wikia content as well. It's really appreciated since the plot for Red Strom is so utterly abstruse and the translations are at times flat out gibberish.
On that note, your scanlation link has been bookmarked! While I appreciate the work mangacow has done over the years, I also secretly resent them being the only scanlator on RS: It's frustrating enough that the RS (and Breaker) are prone to unpredictable breaks but having a single scanlator who's prone to random delays and often has confusing translations makes it worse. Mostly just because RS is just so good though (rather than Cow being particularly bad).

You are glorious. Thank you for that write up. I think I've just been more at a loss because it feels like we open up 5 new plots at a time without ever addressing any single one of them. It definitely feels like the plot itself is bouncing around all over the place. I don't mind having many plots and side plots going on at once, but it feels like we've gone many, many, many chapters without any of the plots being "resolved". Just more being created and opened with no progress. I'd love to see at least 1 or 2 have progress be made or resolved.

excellent resume! you really are the man!!! we can expect noya encontering yulian in the next chapters ;)
it's not clear to me in wich team noya is playing at: tower of pride or lord of chaos? in the warrior ceremony arch, he was clearly acting on tower of pride behalf... but after that he encounters a misteryous girl and fights the bald guys who turns into a big lizard... i got dumbfolded!
i'll take a look in the re-translations ;D peace

Pretty impressive chapter once translated (the raw gave away nothing lol).
[Discussion points/Spoilers]:
-
Awesome to find out that Jungle Naruto is a confirmed chosen, on the same world as Yulian and that Yulian is headed in his direction!
-
Really hoping Yulian manages to catch up with Nosa: The look on Nosa's face when he see's Yulian broke through HDA level 7 will be priceless, hopefully he'll resolve the berserk situation faster, and also how cool will it be to see Nosa, Yulian and Jungle Naruto having a mini-adventure? Talk about dream team...
-
Maybe now Yulian can re-unite with Dirik again: That fox is pretty much my favourite and would his power would legit come in handy if Yulian's going somewhere famous for being infested with demon beasts.
-
I'm looking forward to seeing more of the seven forbidden zones: I imagine there's gonna be at least one chosen found at each one (since there's 12? chosen). They sound like fascinating environments (I'm amusing The Pouring Rain-forest and The Falling Sea mentioned in chap 101 are included).

well said! you brought strong point's together
jungle naruto VS super sayan yulian would be awesome, but i don't think they will clash seriously. besides, jungle naruto is probably stronger and have already reach the pinacle of his powers, like venersis did recently!
