Reading tcf again and I had a realization that blew me out of the water.
Not only is it an unreliable narrator story, the narrator simply... Does not spell things out. You have to pick things up from context clues and body language, like this is some kind of game. It's crazy.
Like, here's some stuff that's NEVER EXPLAINED (in the parts I read, which was up to chap 600~)
Cale's trigger is whenever any child is in danger or hurt. His behavior immediately changes, even if he doesn't acknowledge it to us. It's especially obvious when he finds the crown for the first time.
Cale's gets self destructive when he's stressed. If he starts being weirdly self sacrificial or vindictive? He's stressed out of his MIND.
He's extremely petty about anyone who looks down on him. He convinces himself he's not, but it takes *ages* for him to forgive that kind of slight. And in some cases, it's enough to damn a person for good.
He actually has very obvious emotional tells that other characters have picked up on + they have already realized the points above and act accordingly when they see them.
Like, seriously. I thought I understood the subtleties of the story, but it took until now to see these traits. I was always kinda confused why he acted the way he did.
note on describing mary's voice from the perspective of an in-universe character (who wouldn't know what a 'google translate' voice is)
“[a] child with a stiff voice ... [like] her vocal cords can no longer fluctuate.”
the implications? many, and all with great potential for fics.
Friendly reminder that Mary is older than both Cale AND Alver. Do you think Alver used to call her Noona (when he went to the underground city) when he was younger?
i wonder if cale has "useless" information about farming in his mind that pops up from time to time.
I mean, the Soos were thinking about farming while retired, right? I know that CJS said it was "all just talk", but since KRS at that time knew about this, I think that he might have read at least a little about farming. After all, he is the type of person who likes have information beforehand AND he had Record. It would have just take him a couple of minutes. Then team 1 died and all the information became useless.
But we also know that he was saving for a farm before he transmigrated. So, he kept recollecting some information even though he might not have retired (and needed it) until he was much older.
I mean, he is not a expert, but knows more than the average person about the topic.
We've been blessed with so many good Raon expressions these last couple chapters.
Bonus:

Wrote a thing again:
Alberu & Cale Henituse, Alberu & Tasha
Alberu-centric (1883 words) <t rating>
Summary:
Alberu Crossman was used to living in an empty palace. There were servants, there were workers, knights, record keepers and mages, yet ultimately it was empty.
He was surrounded by undercover dark elves risking everything to help him, his aunt giving him unconditional love and support yet he still felt alone.
He wanted to make the future a better place but did not think himself worthy of existing in it. He learned and trained and did everything in his power to live up to the title of ‘crown prince’ and be better than everyone around him. After all, if he himself is not needed he just had to make his skills indispensable and earn his right to exist through them.
And then, he met Cale Henituse.
......
Or inspired by the stupid feeling when you wanna go home but you're already there, so now what? except it's Alberu and he found his home in the people around him

not even just that, i'm in the 400ish chapters and han yoojin deadass tripped bc the building was shaking while checking on song tae won who was taking a bath?? butt naked??? and bro deadass gets up from the tub??? butt naked??? to steady him???? and proceeds to use his body to shield him from the shaking building???? this was described as 'almost as if in a hug' btw??????
It probably sounds like a joke or an exaggeration when fans of The S-classes that I Raised talk about how homoerotic this non BL novel is, but reading this book is wild sometimes. Yeah the main character can't go more than like two chapters without emphasizing how hot the men in his life are, but also some of these characters will have the most intense yandere thoughts about about him. The guy who the main character considers the peak of male perfection deadass thinks to himself "Even if Han Yoojin were collapsed completely, the process of pulling him together and setting him back on his feet would certainly be enjoyable" like he's the black bellied CEO male lead of an imprisonment manhwa
"Do you remember anything about me other than my name and my face?"
"My Item."
"I said to get rid of the possessive."
"So it was you after all."
[...]
"What was our relationship?"
"We both acknowledged each other's usefulness and agreed to use each other appropriately with mutual consent."And other than that, "A tour guide and a disgruntled customer. Ah, you're the guide."
"...What?"
"Also, I'm raising Sesung's hunter's child. You came to save me once when I was taken away by a dragon and somehow we ended up dancing together. You even risked one arm and an eye for me. We also participated in an auction house. That time, you were the customer and I was the product. In addition, you made me eggs sunny side up."
"Is this nonsense?"
"All of it was 100 percent pure truth. We also caught two SS-rank monsters together as a bonus, you know?"
Sung Hyunjae's eyes opened wide and he laughed silently. Maybe it was because of his mood, but he looked younger than usual.
"Did I say that I fell in love?"
"You even gave me roses."
"When?"
"When I destroyed the Hunter Association Building. You weren't there, I invited you to come and see, but you rejected me."
"That was my mistake." This time, he laughed out loud. I was glad to see him happy, but what do I do now?
