The Shaman Wants Transcendence

Suherman Joshua says:

The failure of a country to apologise for its war crimes can be attributed to many factors. If South Korea acknowledged war crimes in Vietnam from 1955 to 1975, it would tarnish their national image and challenge the narrative of South Korea’s success story. In this case, Japan and SK same, they have a strong sense of national pride, which often prevents the acknowledgment of past wrongdoings. Admitting such crimes can also lead to legal and financial repercussions, including demands for reparations from Vietnam. The Japanese government may also fear that accepting responsibility for war crimes in SK, could set a precedent for future claims and financial burdens. Another reason for the denial of war crimes is the lack of accountability within the South Korean military.

Person who just hate racism says:

Well, thanks Darius for the warning, but i’ll pass and not going to read it, every single time a korean novel have modern fantasy genre, every single time Japan/japanese is always a villain, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Contrast this with Japanese novel who almost never put other country as villain, the difference is extremely jarring

But i guess this is one of other reason why most korean novel are popular among korean people domestically (since the synopsis on the bold claimed this novel is popular with 7m view), yet will never see a market on the international stage

Also quite funny that korean hate japanese a lot but are more racist to other asian, especially SEA, compared to chinese and japanese people irl

The duchess received tons of updates says:

@Yuki well that’s you get when Japan won’t own up to the atrocities they committed during the war and try to sweep them under the rug instead of paying reparations.

Darius says:

This story is good i like it a lot but one thing that keep’s urking me is the racism… I know Japan and Korea have issues but when it spills over too blatantly it urks me i kind ignore it if they keep it low key enough but the bad guys so far have been Japanese after Japanese i mean…Pls don’t take the story down or something cause of what i’m talking about i’m just venting.

Rader says:

This is a novel which has too many elements at play. A lot of shaman things, witchcraft, Runes, Stars, and what not. While MTL is passable, it’s not perfect for this kind of novel if you want full or better immersion. Due to MTL a lot of information has been lost, which is a shame.

Overall novel is quite good. It’s about a MC who is hell bent to achieve his goal. Humans strive for transcendental powers, becoming Immortals or gods/demons and he is trying to become one with Shaman or Witchcraft. Not with magic or power but with Witchcraft which is full of spells and quirks other powers don’t have. And he is unique because he is really mad for it, no he is just committed to his journey after starting it.

He plant bombs in other people. Loot their money. Brainwash innocent people, brainwash drug addicts, and many things which are questionable and illegal. He justify his actions by saying that he is doing for greater good, but in the end he knows, and we reader knows that he is doing it for himself.

Is he a Sociopath? Maybe. Maybe every such person is a Sociopath. If they become successful they become legends and if they fail they get hate of society. Being crazy or overly committed to a higher level goal is a double edged sword in many regards. This is a story of man who is willing to give up everything for a higher level goal, he already gave up his humanity, body, and soul for it, and he will do it again in much grander way.
