SPOILERS TO FOLLOW
I knew about Castle Swimmer because I was a frequent reader on Webtoon but I never managed to get to his novel (and now I don't read on Webtoon lol). So I was very excited when I saw that I was approved to read it. The story was very cute and I love that Kappa and Siren are becoming friends. The whole "Beacon" thing is interesting and I thought it might be touched on a little more but it wasn't. We saw one instance of Kappa not being able to fulfill the prophecy correctly and then just heard him talk about how the prophecies never go as planned. So I'm wondering if any of the prophecies he's supposed to fulfill have come true in the "correct way". I feel like these big prophecies might have been misconstrued over the years and maybe they are happening correctly but nobody realizes it. I'm hopeful for the next volume!
