My random annotations in Project Hail Mary (GSGW/GDCG related ones)
(GSGW excerpts are translated by ME & part 2 spoilers!)
YES, I know it's just a "last name". YES, I know who this person EXACTLY is.
But can't help myself being perked up & attentive whenever I hear this name. It's equivalent to the reaction of a dog hearing the word "treat" or "walk". (I DID NOT WANT TO EQUATE MYSELF TO A DOG, but behavior-wise, it evokes a similar reaction in me.)
This has the EXACT SAME ENERGY AS: Kim Soleum, after realizing the Cheerful Research Institute summoned him, just to prove that their theory is right.
("I think, even if your invitation was a success… the summoned being won't ever cooperate with you people." "Never.")
Also, the latter comments of description APPLIES TO Soleum as well, SO ACCURATELY.
THEY. WANT. YOU. (ohmygoodness). THEY. WANT. YOU.
(*Inserts scene where Choi glass prisons Soleum after Jisan arc's over*)
"...Braun."
- My friend is calling me.
(chapter 281, GSGW)
'...Braun.'
- Mr. Roe deer is calling me.
'I would like to do a few things with this body.'
A sound of a Host tapping his finger on the desk and sighing is heard.
(chapter 292, GSGW)
DUDE- My two, no, THREE UNRELIABLE NARRATOR CHARACTERS HIDING HOW SICK THEY WERE & JUST MOVING ON (just in a single sentence, "oh it was terrible")
I'm not saying to dilate on how painful you guys were, but at least give us a moment for the readers to sympathize with your agony. Ireum-nim enjoys the detailed & individually portrayed pain of each characters DON'T UNDERMINE OR UNDERCUT YOUR EXPERIENCE.
Just came to my attention that this is JUST LIKE 130666, being watched by the research team (especially by Kwak Jekang), and a complete replica of the room when he was human.
Eridians basically made a perfect replica of the environment for humans to live & are constantly on watch, right? FOR THE SAKE OF SCIENCE & RESEARCH, but the latter is a much, MUCH WHOLESOME VERSION.
