Jungle Juice - Chapter 174

Good, looks like Maehwa at least’ll try to escape and survive. Dunno about Dahui since it seems she was either still paralyzed by Sloth’s venom or just sheer pants-wetting terror, but it’d be nice to see at least one of the Predators try to redeem themselves, or at least fight back against Breeder’s madness.

Good to see yet more proof that Ma was on the side of the angels after his defection, plus more of Ji’s past prior to NEST. Cinderella really is their ticket to freedom and thwarting Breeder, and Ma’s ultimate tool for redeeming himself. It’s a pity it came too late for Davidson’s daughter, but now that they can mass produce it many of the atrocities Breeder and his cohorts caused can finally be mitigated if not outright eliminated. Gayeon still deserves to be imprisoned at minimum, but it’s good to see she could finally be freed from that which twisted her into an evil caricature of her former self. Just hoping Cinderella doesn’t have any side effects like shortened lifespan or infertility among other potential nasty symptoms, but I suppose that’ll be addressed if it is an issue later.

While it has been Suchan’s goal since the beginning, I think y’all and I both know he’s not going to take it yet, not while there’s still work to be done. Now it’s the bonus at the end of the journey rather than an overriding obsession, especially since they all now have the chance to be human without competing with each other. Still hoping he decides to stay a hybrid personally since other than Gigantea messing with his mind at times he has a damn near ideal original host in his dragonfly, but at least there’s the possibility of a good end for him, Huijin, his classmates, Mihui, and everyone else subject to this nightmare.
