An unnamed character from my wip manhwa set in fantasy Korea. I have no talent when it comes to naming. So far, the best name I could come up with was “우유” which literally means ‘milk’.

Kumiho!Seungcheol x Half Zhu Nou - Half Skogsrå!Reader

GN! Reader

Warning: A little bit of angst, but over all fluff. Half Chinese - half swedish reader but there is no description of their looks, located in China, reader wants to impress Seungcheol.

...

In the forest there was a humming voice that belonged to one of the creatures of the Forest who was meant and sworn to protect it.

You were supposed to be at the stream with Shuhua, but right now you wanted to read more about the Kumihos.

Your friend Seungcheol was a kumiho and he had arrived in China not long ago, he was already fluent in Mandarin and therefore you wanted to help in everything that was possible.

Heaven knows how good help could be, you were thankful your parents had been there for you and explained better your skills as a hybrid.

After hearing the leaves of the tree rustling you turned around and saw no one else but Seungcheol, the reason why you were reading your book and why your heart was beating faster.

“Hey Seungcheol, what's up?”

He gave you an apologetic smile and slouched as his head looked at his feet while muttering your name.

“I'm having trouble with transforming, and I wondered if you could help me” Seungcheol answered with an embarrassed tone.

“of course, come with me” You quickly discarded your book and took his hand in your excitement therefore you didn't notice his blushing.

One in the clearing Seungcheol and you had been so many times together practicing you took a little bit of distance and began transforming.

You contracted your antlers and let your eyes transform into a glowing jade green while your limbs stretched and in a matter of seconds you were already transformed. The key to a successful transformation was to relax and let your instincts take over you.

Once you were fully transformed you stared into Seungcheol’s eyes making him understand he had to imitate you, his face slowly relaxed and he began transforming, letting his inner fox take over him.

Once he finished you got closer to him and playfully nudged him with your nose which made Seungcheol nudge you back and chase each other in a friendly race to see who was faster.

You loved your small moments with Seungcheol and you would never change them.

The God and the Gumiho review

5/5 stars Recommended if you like: fantasy, mythology, Korean mythology, multiple POVs, enemies to lovers, mystery

Big thanks to Netgalley, Del Rey, and the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This was definitely one of my favorite reads of February! It's got the perfect blend of magic, shenanigans, scheming, enemies-to-lovers, and humor. I was definitely on the edge of my seat as Hani and Seokga searched for the eoduksini, and while they got closer to one another with Hani still hiding her identity.

I definitely thought the worldbuilding was interesting. Most of the time is spent on a world where humans and immortals exist side-by-side, with the former completely unaware. So the characters have normal, everyday things like coffee, cars, and cellphones, but also have more magical items like swords and charms, and come across humans and magical creatures alike. I also liked the details about items the magical community could by from the store, particularly the non-human-liver alternatives the gumiho eat since Hani's Scarlet Fox spree resulted in the banning of eating human livers and souls. It's a small part of the book, but I thought it was a nice touch.

I absolutely love Hani. Her hidden past as the Scarlet Fox means she's notorious in immortal circles and not only is responsible for the ban on gumiho eating human livers and souls, but is also the gumiho with the highest kill count. Despite this, she's actually pretty normal and down to earth. She's also pretty funny, both intentionally and unintentionally, and I liked her blasé attitude about eating livers (and thus killing people). Hani clearly cares deeply and while she's dedicated to misguiding Seokga in regards to his Scarlet Fox investigation, she earnestly wants to help find and defeat the eoduksini. She also strives to help her friend Somi throughout the book and feels responsible over the younger gumiho.

Seokga, on the other hand, is a complete and utter asshole. But he grows on you. The trickster god is still bitter about being thrown out of the godly world and having his own realm of darkness locked up after his attempted coup. It's unclear how much of his personality is residual from that and how much is just him naturally, but Seokga really does not seem to care about anyone, nor very many things (other than coffee, man is particular about his coffee) prior to the events of the book. That being said, it becomes clear that Seokga does have deeper ties to his exiled life than it seems, and even he comes to the realization that there are some people that he cares about. It's easy to forget that Seokga was a trickster god because he's fairly serious and dedicated to his investigation(s), but it shows up in odd moments, such as when he cheats at rock, paper, scissors. Despite the fact that he's an asshole, Seokga does have a certain charm about him, even before he begins being a more...tolerable person.

The romance is, obviously, between Hani and Seokga. They balance each other out pretty well once they get past their barista-customer annoyance. Seokga is able to play 'bad cop' with ease while Hani is a much more soothing figure and the type who can calm crying witnesses enough to give a cohesive statement. I liked seeing the quirks they brought out in each other and am glad they get their chance at a happy ending.

The whole Scarlet Fox thing really is a mess. Hani was just enacting a kind of vigilante justice when she got the bright idea to take their livers as a treat for a friend. Unfortunately, the killings align too much with her 1888 spree and whaddya know suddenly there's a hunt on for the Scarlet Fox. Hani definitely does not want to get caught, and she definitely doesn't want another gumiho taking the fall in her place, she'd rather the whole thing just fizzle out and get written off as a fluke, and she's willing to attach herself to the investigation, and thus her least favorite customer Seokga, in order to achieve that. While there were some tense moments when I was worried about her getting caught, it was humorous to read about Hani doing her best to thwart Seogka's investigation and coming up with absurdities to get it done.

The eoduksini is the more serious of the two, particularly since the eoduksini has the potential to create a dark world in the realm shared by humans and immortals, something no one wants happening. There are a lot of twists and turns in this part of the investigation and I was definitely trying to work it out myself as the characters were. At times I felt confident I knew who it was, and then something new would happen and I would second-guess myself or Seokga and Hani. I was very invested in finding out who the eoduksini was and seeing how things would play out there.

Overall I greatly enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it to fantasy lovers. Seokga and Hani are pretty different but each bring humor to the novel and the two of them fit well together. I thought the worldbuilding was pretty interesting and I enjoyed getting to know the world and the magic within it.

There's a Korean Goddess, Paritegi (Rejected Princess, Seventh Princess), who guides dead "souls" to underworld, leads souls back and forth over the thresholds of life and death. Reminded me of both Buyeon and Naksu /Yeong (as it means soul).

For Jang Uk, on the other hand, I think of two mythological Gods: Haemosu, the God of Sun and Yeomna (Yeomra) ruler of underworld, who judges sins of others (which fits to his aura on second part's teaser).

There's also Korean myths about resurrection: Shamanic myth “Igongbonpuri” from Jeju Island narrates origin of Flower Supervisor of Seoheonkkotbat, who oversees divine flowers like life or birth flowers and death or destruction flowers.

Some pieces of Korean mythology/folklore are kind of hysterical if you take it at face value. Like you straight up have this mf who gaslights a tiger into believing that he’s his brother and then gets him to kill 100 golden dogs for their livers so he can give them to his mom to cure her illness

Also the fucking toilet ghost. I know that more leads into urban myths even though it does have roots in the mythology but I deadass pissed my pants when I was like seven because I was terrified that Cheuksin was going to beat the shit out of me or drag me to hell for taking too long to go number 2 💀💀

Didn’t help that we read a kid’s book about a completely unrelated toilet ghost which I guess my seven year old brain conflated with the other one.

I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who has more childhood trauma around shitting and pissing apart from my partner who caught ridiculously bad salmonella (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!)

TDLR: I decided at age seven that taking a shit would no longer be amateur because of a Korean toilet demon /srs

Korean kids quite literally can’t have shit

(obviously not every Korean kid I was just special 💀)
