Blinded By The Setting Sun

Dont pass this up because of people complaining about backstory. There’s more than 60+ chapters of the story in the present with 30 or so chapters of backstory towards the later chapters.

Of course people are on the edge of their seats and yearning for more which reveals itself in fits of anger and impatience, as seen below my comment….. Whats happening right before the backstories is something that we all want to see resolved so it would piss anyone off. But thats ONLY a testament to how beautifully well written and substantial this story actually is…..If it was a bad story, they wouldn’t be so furious about returning to the present in this story. Isnt that revealing enough?

Its absolutely one of the most mature, introspective, fleshed out, comprehensive and well written Manhwas I’ve ever read…and I’ve read many Shoujo, Shounen/Seinen.

A story about how War affects all sides. How death begets death begets more death… and how resentments beget later resentments…………..
Every side of a conflict considers their enemy to be monsters. But are they really? And what led them to that extreme? This story plunges the reader into the inner conflict of interesting and well rounded characters on both sides of the long-standing war; who’ve all lost something along the way…………….
Can they be forgiven? Can they find peace? Will the cycle of death and war and suffering continue and for how long?

And can a Love manifest between two people who’ve lived and warred on two opposing sides of such a long standing conflict?

That’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Its an authentic and substantial story, unlike most superficial stories today about tower of babels, becoming a god through gaming powers and isekai redo shoujo romances.

Those who are holding off to wait until the backstories end, read ‘Reminiscent Adonis’. Its similar in some ways and also one of the most well written Shoujo Manhwas as well…….. Although it shares many of the usual tropes that “redo shoujo romances” tend to have, unlike the complete authenticity of “Blinding of the Setting Sun”….Its tough to come across a Manhwa that is as introspective and comprehensive as these two (Blinding Sun and Reminiscent Adonis) but they’re certainly out there. Although they’re few and far between.

Around Chapter 50 it goes through 2 or 3 characters backstories. The FMC being the longest one by far but her story is absolutely needed to understand her and the story in general.

While i agree its a bit too much, i dont believe it takes away from such a fleshed out and authentic story as this.

So yes, it drags a bit much and even at 90+ the FMC and MC are still working on the “Shoujo Shuffle” (my coined term for the fmc and mc going back and forth in a subtle love dance until finally they come together as lovers. Hence, the “Shoujo Shuffle” !!! Lolol)

But anyways, its not worth dropping or missing out on this one.

I consider everyone’s impatience as a clear cut example and reaction to expecting so much from this story, because its so well done. Honestly it seems like a compliment. They’re all yearning so much for the story to continue its former pace in the present.

Dont miss out on this. And check out Reminiscent Adonis as i suggested before if you appreciate this one.

Hope this sheds some insight and a different perspective as to why so many people are being ao critical and impatient with this gem.
