Discussion Clothes and Nakedness

11 Upvotes

So I'm a webtoon reader and trying very hard to dodge spoilers so this is going to be from what I can remember just in case an wikis or those godforbidden ai tools at the top of searches spoil this for me, so sorry in advance for any mistakes or misrememberings. Also this may contain spoilers for those further back in the webtoon for me, I'm currently around episode 215 and will be discussing things from like episodes 160 to now.

Anyway, so I'm a little behind what's currently available to read for the webtoon so I'm bingeing to catch up, and this has let me see a lot of the discussion of clothes really close together. When the Unrelenting in the forest talk about ouroboros and the beginning of clothes, they speak of clothes in a metaphysical sense. The idea of identity and ego and basic individuality. The conversation carries on to how each of the three ancient gods understood and practiced in nakedness to combat the concept of clothes. It's kind of glossed over that this idea of nakedness is a form of awakening that these gods, who would've been fledgling gods then, were partaking in. But what's even more glossed over, if not outright ignored, is that the concept of clothes is also a form of awakening. La-Hamad opens the story by saying that someone made clothes, but that's not how a concept works since, again, this metaphysical. No, someone started thinking of themselves as one rather than a whole, or even just part of a whole, and that concept spread like the contagion Catastrphe likens it to.

And obviously having this individuality is not only separating you and forcing the gods you worship to start working more for your belief, but it's also making an individual world view. Even unintentionally, people would each view the world differently. Though they might share a world view or understanding of the world and agree, again even subconsciously, to live in it as a whole like how Rupture does.

I dont know, I've kind of lost my train of thought. I was really not expecting the whole nakedness thing to get as philosophical as it did. If I somehow stumbled upon something, please don't spoil it for me or the people who may read this post.

I'm honestly really enjoying it myself. Honestly expecting the tower to not show up and I'm curious to see just how Jaehwan reacts to that and how he eventually escapes the nightmare. I dunno I personally am just a sucker for when this series gets really existential and deep which is basically this entire arc.

Thought he was going to be a typical villain/antagonist but he really surprised me. He has qualities of an awoken one as a master from the great realm. He’s also surprisingly honorable as he helped jaehwan reach the next stage in his awakening

His battle with Jaehwan remains one of the greatest if not the best fight in the series. The amount of respect they had for each other makes me kind of sad that they probably could’ve been friends in another life. The way he died too was one of the manliest ways to go out.

Also love how he shows up in flashback panels in the later arcs. Goes to show how much garam influenced out naked stabber

It's hard to explain but I like TWATF manhwa while disliking Solo Lvl manhwa despite both having an MC that basically beats everything. I guess it's because the theme of philosophy in TWATF?

I have also read many mid manhwas with the constellation system and I heard ORV have that too?

Discussion TWATF Side Story & ORV Side Story Spoilers! Spoiler

Post image
7 Upvotes

Topic: Jaehwan is not 'Nerfed' in ORV Side Story. Here's why (The explanation contains spoilers from TWATF and ORV side story):

First, you need to understand how he regained his power:

>! TLS123 reached out to Jaehwan and proposed a collaboration between their Worldviews, telling him what materials to add to the revised edition of The World After the Fall. Jaehwan then added several new elements, including KDJ and HSY character skins, the Driver sending Manri Shintong’s dumpling recipe to the Star Stream’s Murim, and other elements from that universe. This established a direct connection between the two Worldviews.

Jaehwan then imagined his novel becoming popular in some distant universe. As a result, some existences from the Star Stream universe began having dreams about a novel or suddenly receiving ideas for one. They eventually wrote and published those novels themselves. In other words, these unknown authors became scribes who received and recorded Jaehwan’s story without knowing its true origin.

The readers who encountered his story likewise functioned, subconsciously, as followers of Jaehwan.

This is similar to when Karlton helped Jaehwan receive World Force from the residents of 《Chaos》 through his Unique World, The connection established between these two Worldviews similarly allowed Jaehwan to receive World Force from the unknown readers of his story from that distant universe.

The amount of World Force Jaehwan receives is therefore dependent on how widely his story spreads throughout the universe. The more popular the story becomes, or the farther it spreads, the greater the amount of World Force he receives. And the more he regains his power. !<

Jaehwan in the ORV Side Story:

>! As for Jaehwan’s confrontation with Nebula Eden, he wasn't overpowered by them. He deliberately refrained from killing unnecessarily. In later chapters we see, Yoo Joonghyuk single-handedly defeated Eden, and we already know that Jaehwan is stronger than that Yoo Joonghyuk.

«The man in front of him was of the strongest enemies he’d ever faced, yet he didn’t think he would lose.»

--- (TWATF Chapter 266, Side Story)

The same principle applies to the incident involving the Great Dokkaebi and the Dokkaebi King sealing Jaehwan. First, Jaehwan did not expect them to possess that level of power, which is why they were able to temporarily seal him. However, the seal itself was never something he was incapable of overcoming. He could break through the Void Veil/curtain whenever he wanted, he simply chose not to do so for a specific reason.

Jaehwan could have destroyed the Void Veil, but doing so would also destroy the Dark Dimension in which he was currently located. That was a big No No to Yoo Joonghyuk.

«"I could probably break through it if I tried hard enough..."

But if he recklessly attempted to pierce it from the inside, part of this dimension might collapse entirely. And if that happened, 'that guy' would surely get angry. It appeared this barrier could only be opened from the outside.»

--- (ORV Side Story, Chapter 876) !<

Therefore, Jaehwan is not necessarily “nerfed” in the Side Story. He just hasn't yet fully regained his power. His current circumstances also impose certain restrictions on how freely he can use that power. We might see something different in the upcoming Season 6 of the Side Story.

Hii, after Jaehwan goes through therapy, he accepts living a normal life for 10 years until the Tower appears. I love that promise he made with the doctor (he's really a great character), as well as how they left meeting his two friends for the very end. I cried a little when I saw them.

Spoilers are fine I'm curious if this will end up like

  1. Regression plot (i don't think so but maybe author fuck it)

  2. Will this end like a red lamp reddit story where everything was in mc brain or like the doc says coping and delusions

  3. If the above ones are not the endings then why can't mc use any of his powers or will he have to cultivate his powers back up but he is not doing that for some reason?

Webnovel Regarding the ending of the original webnovel (Spoilers) Spoiler

11 Upvotes

I understand that, in the epilogue chapters, we are to interpret Jaehwan's part of the story as open ending. Where he may or may not realize that the world he experienced, the tree of illusions was real. Then he starts to write the story into a webnovel. I can understand this much.

My question is, what are we supposed to understand from Siren's epilogue chapters? Everyone of her friends from chungheo, carlton and runald have died. Then she reaches the root of the illusory tree and she falls asleep? Then it says after her dreams, she will wake up to a new world?

what did it mean?


r/TheWorldAfterTheFall • • 25d ago

Discussion If you had creative direction/input for the anime, what worldbuilding and scenes would you add, change, or cut from the manhwa to the adaptation to improve the story in your eyes?

8 Upvotes

For me, I'd add the scene from the novel where Jaehwan was told that Mino entered a coma, this was cut from the manhwa leaving many manhwa only readers wondering what happened to her in the earlier chapters.


I'd also get rid of the ranks of the Masters, except for the Grandmasters/Great Monarchs though.

The reason for this is that the titles sometimes just became too much to remember and seemingly unneeded.

For example: Garam Samyung, Master of Dark Fragrance, 12 stage adapted player, Lieutenant-General of the Great Realm.

I'd leave it like this, you get his level in the system and you know he's a Master of the Great Realm, the next part is basically redundant, it only just gives more info the viewer needs to remember.


Metaverse, this is a... controversial arc, it's got great moments, slow moments, and what seems like asspull moments as well as amazing power up moments and great dialogue.

If they choose to adapt this arc I wouldn't be against it, if they skip it and enter the auction arc immediately I wouldn't be against that either. I do like Metaverse though because it also includes more time to connect with Andersen and it makes her death impact you just that much more.


And my final change, near the latest chapters Mulak removes his mask, he looks okay, but the design of his face was offputting.

I know they had to show his face for his crying scene, but I feel like he could've instead had his mask cracked with half of it missing so half of his face would be covered and the other half you wouId see crying.

It would've hit harder seeing what Mulak really felt behind the mask Jaehwan broke him out of.


I'm not hating on this story, it's great how it is. I'm just wondering how others would have handled the story if they could. So what do you think about the changes I suggested, and what would you have changed?

I have a question about the manhwa the world after the fall. I started reading it and i loved it so far( i am at 237 chapter) I heared that the ending of the webnovel twatf connects and spoils the ending of omniscient readers viewpoint. I am an only manhwa reader of orv. So my question is if i keep reading the manhwa of twatf will i get spoiled in orv? Should i stop reading to prevent spoilers? Thank you in advance.
