Aaaa, I’m really wishing I could write the fic with Lich!Jin-woo and when he’s wondering whether or not he can trust Ashborn and remembering when he awakened, how overwhelming his Dad’s power felt (he doesn’t know what level his Dad was, he vanished before there was testing equipment), but it wasn’t scary at all: of course his Dad was that strong, and how his Dad had promised he would beat whoever was making the dungeons appear and Jin-woo would never have to fight...
But despite all that power, he lost his dad. Losing Ashborn is a possibility.
Fuck that shit.
canon: SJW: phenomenal cosmic power, itty bitty (no) agency
In the manhwa, Jin-woo is just helplessly pushed into becoming a killer, he’s like ‘it’s kill or die there’s nothing I can do about this’ and just tamely goes along with this, accepting it as the way things are.
Versus in this fic, a Jin-woo who is obvs going to be taught to fight bc Ashborn and Ignis come from a War World, but they’re thinking backline with dodgetanking capabilities but Jin-woo going ‘I want to stab things.’
Jin-woo was forced into fighting by his socio-economic situation and then by the system. He doesn’t have the option of not fighting bc the situation sucks, but... I want to give him the agency and... realization that his life matters to people enough to realize that being protected is even an option, because if you don’t have the right to say no then saying yes is meaningless. He has to have the option to be protected in order to actively make the choice to protect/fight.
Like... Solo Leveling is supposed to be a power fantasy, but when you look at it, it’s kind of amazing how little power over what happens to him Sung Jin-woo actually has. He rarely is in situations where he gets to make actual meaningful choices: a lot of situations where people act like he’s choosing something, he’s just continuing the route he got locked in on by the system or his choice to subordinate his own survival and well-being to his family.
On the rare occasion that Sung Jin-woo actually has a choice about something where he needs to weigh options instead of being locked into a predetermined route by the system and/or the things he regards as more important than his life or his wishes, (he points out several times that at his power level any single source of money/bit of income is basically monopoly money for how little meaning it has), the universe immediately punishes him for it.
Sung Jin-woo regards himself as a pawn on the chessboard earmarked for a sacrifice play from the beginning and that never changes.
Lich!Jinwoo... with his mother healed and a powerful male protector in his life again, he’s basically back where he was before his father vanished and it all went to hell. He has the chance to be a kid again, to be happy again, to get an education and spend time on things that are just for fun. And that’s what would make his mother happy, that’s what would make Jin-ah happy, that’s what his father fought to give him. It’s what his family wants.
So Sung Jin-woo would, for the first time in years, be doing what he wants to do, if he told all of them no. ‘No, I want to fight.’
It’s significant that Sung Jin-woo loses the emotion of anger, because ‘anger’ comes from the knowledge that what is being done to you is wrong. There is a quote re ‘your anger is the part of you that loves you and knows you deserve better than this and is willing to fight to give it to you.’ Sung Jin-woo not getting angry about the plan to possess him is basically ‘it’s not a big deal to destroy me, I’m worthless anyway so it doesn’t matter.’
Give Sung Jin-woo enough self esteem to get angry 2K21
