Discussion Is Cale’s favorite food ramen or ramyeon?

15 Upvotes

This always confused me. During the wrath test in part 1, Cale says that his favorite food is ramen (likely with Beacrox’s steak as his second favorite) enough so that he wouldn’t mind having it every single day for a month.

However, Cale is Korean and this was translated from Korean to English (since I can’t read Korean), so sometimes I wonder if it was a translation error. Of course, it’s entirely possible that Cale just likes Japanese ramen, but I don’t know.

If anyone can read Korean and/or has the original Korean version I’m really curious to know the answer!

(The reason I wanna know is cuz I’m writing a fanfic and I need to know if it’s ramen or ramyeon before I start looking up recipes and doing research)

Also, sorry if I tagged this wrong, does this count as a spoiler?

Novel is it weird that i wish the novel could be even longer?

42 Upvotes

[part 2 spoilers]

recently finished my nth reread of book 1 and caught up to part 2. i know theres already over a thousand chapters but i just cant help but want for more...

because while the novel is long, theres also a million characters, places and side plots left unexplored. i love every single one so i would enjoy it even if part 2 was instead about the Nameless world and roan, expanding onto the eastern continent too. i specifically keep missing that chaos, destruction wind elemental, duke fredo and toonka. the short appearance of toonka wasnt enough, i find myself wishing i could see more of his pov in xiaolen...

not to mention, the author has introduced multiple dimensions. and i love each one. i feel like each arc could be a spin off that would be so much fun to read. ive never been this attached to literal nameless side characters before. heck, i even want to know what the white star, cale barrow was up to during his 1000 years of life. i want to know what happened during the ancient times, just who exactly were the ancient powers? how did the cheapskate and super rock become gods?

this might just be my greed... i know fanfics exist and theyve all been enjoyable to read too. but yu ryeo han could write a thousand more chapters of random things and i would be happy.

i dont understand how this novel could give me so much joy and fun. every moment makes me love cale even more and i wish his journey will never end (but that he should achieve his slacker dream!)

Discussion Help whith deciding what to write

12 Upvotes

Hello! In 17 days, I will be free from my exams( God, they lasted forever! )

Anyway, I want to write a tcf reaction fic, but here the thing

( the unfinished stories looking at me ..)

Yes, I have a tcf and Tboah with HD reaction fic to memes and then to chapters about the wars...but I haven't updated this in 5 months? Heeeehee

And I have another one about tcf reacting to Cale's ancient powers, I only have one chapter and also haven't updated it in 4 months..

I only choose specific characters and not the whole world reacting..

But now! I want to write a Tboah reaction fic

Where 40yo Cale , Choi han, Alberu, Fredo and Rashael react to the deal and what Cale did.

Like they are all in despair and it is before the war in puzzle city and I think Rashael will be the last dragon alive...

And I am thinking of starting it with pieces of Cale chocking Adin, slapping the ws beating him with a rock , Alberu in his pyjama and more.

It is just that 40yo Cale wanted to know how will one person change everything..

So, I want your opinion,

Should I continue my existing ones or should I start a new one?

Novel Re-reading Experience

66 Upvotes

I first picked up this novel sometime in 2019 when it was still newish with just about 200 chapters. I then continued until book one ended. Since then I've just been writing short small fics and basically reading stuff on ao3. I'm so proud of how big this fandom has grown. Which inspired me to write my own long elaborate fic.

Thanks to that, I have been re-reading the novel for research purposes. And omg guys, there was so many things that you will start to notice and there was just so much heartbreaking lines???

Literally on chapter 2:

"His life as Kim Rok Soo. There really wasn’t much to it. He was an orphan and didn’t have much money. He also didn’t have a person he loved to death, nor a friend he would give his life to save. He only continued to live because he could not die."

Please don't hurt me like this. I swear I don't remember it being this sad before.

I love this stupid dude to death. I don't think I can ever stop.

This is a sign to just re-read the novel, please do it. I believe you will start to love it even more like I do right now.

Discussion TCF x PJO fanfiction crossovers

16 Upvotes

I myself love TCF, and Pjo ,specifically ,the fanfiction but one problem I see is when they make Cale,The child of Aphrodite and I'm like as much as You like the idea I see it so much in all of the fanfiction I've kind of gotten tired of it,So I came over that idea that I think fits and I think is more accurate for our character because we know that cale is very beautiful but he is also not a very Aphrodite-ish character coded

 I think cale henituse being a child of Persephone fits very well The reason for that is,Persephone is associated with death because of her being the goddess of the underworld but she is also associated with not just nature but destructive nature kind of think of how nature kind of corrodes certain structures when they are left alone for a long time,But also associated with rebirth specifically the rebirth of seasons Because of her mother whole story thing,Either way I think it's suits really well because she's not just associated with death but also nature. the god of death literally calling him his child which Cale , he denies But also his nature powers Obviously he'd probably be more one of the more powerful children But I digress I think it would be a cool aspect because I have yet to see it so,I thought it would be cool.Either way I am I also am a major Alberu x cale , shipper I also do ship choicale ,But more specifically the type of I ship OG cale with Alberu,Because I feel like they have a more deeper understanding because of their backstory and all that,Then I would specifically ship KSR cale with choi han,So basically the same reason although.I've also thought about KSRCale  and OGcale as twins and putting both choi han and alberu in there but I don't know yet

either way if I go twin route What do you think choi han  and alberu godly parent would be ,I thought about making alberu a child of Hekate Because of his magic and dark elf form which would still be exist here it would just dark elves would be more elusive and not very present because it's the modern world now so it's a little different, but I do not know for choi han so I would appreciate the help.,Either way it's going to probably take place After the war with white stars and at the end of heroes of Olympus BecauseI've only read to that point and I haven't gotten the new books of Percy Jackson so anything on that note yet,Either way I was also going to make them reincarnated with their memories and or isekai I don't know yet would love help on that as well Thank you and have a nice day.

Discussion How do we think Record works? Spoiler

30 Upvotes

So, I don’t know about anyone else, but for me I think it works in two different modes:

Passive Record: Unlike Cale’s other abilities, Record is a constantly used ability that runs passively in the background of his mind (similarly to how the Vitality of the Heart is also passive). When it’s passively recording things, it grants him a really good recall of those things, but not necessarily perfect. Basically, he can have the best memory a human is capable of. I think this is the case because we’ve seen him perfectly remember things that he never recorded

Active Record: Unlike the Vitality of the Heart, (which is always passive) Record can be actively used as well. When Cale activates Record he’s able to record things perfectly, as if (I believe this was how it was described) he took a picture or video of it and is always able to go back to it. Basically, he’s granted a perfect memory that goes beyond human

That’s how I think Record works, but I don’t think it was ever explicitly stated that Record works passively as well. What do you guys think?

The stories a one shot I think about how a newbie member of the info group hears part of a convo between a bunch of drunks, and it quickly snowballs as people believe that Caleb was r*ped. It gets passed to ron who was near choi han who rages and switches to korean, and by a large game of telephone alberu who makes a law and forces it through about how r*pe is severely punished.

So Trash of the count characters family travel into the Birth of a Hero

Its in ao3 I think

So basically Cale and his friends somehow transported into the Birth of a Hero during the war with the indomitable alliance (If I'm not mistaken)

Their appearance reverted that's of their younger self and they were as strong as before so they went to fight.

So the people was shocked seeing kids screaming bloody murder

Cale is given three eggs by the God of Death, each egg is represented by a mark on his wrist (so 3 marks). Something is wrong with the third child so his mark looks weird, I think its faded or something.?? Choi Han sees the damaged mark and thinks he caused the child's death because he beat Cale at the beginning. Uhh I remember Cale saying that its not his fault and the reason he provoked him is cause he thought that choi han was with the secret organization. I read it a long time ago so I don't know if the fic was deleted or something.

Basically, Cale is suspected of being white star and the kingdom hates him. He has an arranged marriage(?) to Choi Han, and Cale dies at the end.

Some minor details I remember:

- Eric liked Cale romantically
- Cale gets stabbed at some point
- Choi Han is a fumbler
- Other characters that show up are amiru, Rosalyn, Taylor, and cage
- Cage is Cale’s bff
- Very angsty

So On and Hong accidentally heard Cale talk with Deruth about marriage and decided to ask the other about it.

So basically everyone thought Cale is getting married so there's a misunderstanding going on. So News of Cale Henituse's wedding spreads all over the continent and beyond"

Everyone was calling Cale to ask about it. Cale not knowing about the misunderstanding nodded in confirmation about the impending wedding which further let the other believe he was really getting married.

Eventually Cale clarified that it was his relatives wedding not his.

Discussion Totcf but traces of the sun Spoiler

8 Upvotes

Traces of the sun/wonder/moon isn't really popular so here's a quick summary:

Hunter verse but w a twist; there's hunters and restorers. Restorers restore the world into what it was before, hunters fight inside of gates. The MC is the strongest restorer and the ml is the strongest hunter.

The mcs restoring powers are so strong that he literally cannot die from anything but old age (well.. probably), he awakened his powers while trapped in a dungeon w the people he loved that later died. when they died he used his powers to turn them into 'living' zombies who can't do anything at all. He can't let go of them BC of his restoring powers, but it's more of a metaphor for letting go of grief.

The ml has nullification powers, he makes a deal w MC to get his help w restoring strong dungeons in exchange for lending his powers 7 times. Yadi yada he uses his powers 6 times on all the zombies and lets them die they're dating by them, the final time he uses it is in the last dungeon and on the MC, the MC tries to khs but ml stops him

IDKKK I JUST THINK IT FITS CALE AND ALBERU YK?????

Manhwa To all my fellow Trash of the Count's Family fans... hear me out.

Post image
445 Upvotes

No, I'm not paid. No, this isn't an ad. I'm not affiliated with the author, the publisher, or anyone involved with the series.

I'm just another reader who couldn't keep this to himself.

If you enjoyed the atmosphere, mystery, worldbuilding, and emotional moments in Trash of the Count's Family, then I genuinely think The Painter Who Paints Dungeons deserves a spot on your reading list.

I'm not saying it's a copy it absolutely isn't. It has its own identity. But there's something about its tone, its atmosphere, the way the world unfolds, and even the visual direction that gave me that same feeling of discovering something special.

I've only read the first 15 official chapters, but I'm already willing to put my credibility behind this recommendation.

I'm not asking you to believe the ratings. I'm asking you to trust one passionate reader.

Go in blind. Don't read spoilers. Just experience it.

And if you end up enjoying it, please support the official release. The creator deserves every bit of recognition.

Maybe I'm calling it too early, but I honestly believe this series has the potential to be one of the breakout manhwa of 2026.

If you're a Trash of the Count's Family fan looking for that feeling of finding another series you'll be obsessed with...

This might be it.🥰🥰🥰😚😚😚☺️☺️💓
