They were all seeking different things: Soojung was looking for adventure, Jongin, anywhere that wasn't his home, and Myungsoo, his lost heart. The Argennin Sea was said to help you find whatever you wanted, and this was their journey.

Chapter 5: I come back and you've already completed this, congratulations! Though I will say that when I got to the last chapter I was a little disappointed because it felt like the story was just getting started, I had so many questions TT I'm glad you have a sequel so that we can see more of the adventure and characters! It sounds so interesting since it seems like it goes beyond just trying to break Sungjong out of jail. I'll be sure to check that one out!

Chapter 2: Congratulations on getting out the second chapter! Overall I really like it and think it establishes some nice characterization we didn't quite get in the first one like Krystal's playful attitude and Jongin's good-natured personality. I especially loved the bit where Krystal is ruminating about the hypocrisy of her family's lifestyle, how the women (specifically her grandmother) can hold so much power sway and yet have no freedom. It's also interesting that she and Myungsoo know each other/of each other despite never talking to one another. So Myungsoo's family is definitely one of wealth? She knows the likeness of his /cousin/ and can differentiate them from Myungsoo's. How much more does she know of him? Does she know of Sungjong, too? Myungsoo makes a particular point to mention that his reasons for being on the ship are not because of his family or HER. Was he the man she was to marry and that's why they are familiar with each other? She looks for him in the crowd at the mess hall, does she want to be friends? Why?

Jongin's inner thoughts about the sea and it's tendency to "purge the world of evil" or to do horrendous this to people with "impure" intentions are interesting. I wonder if these are just floating thoughts or if some part of him believes he is an enemy of the sea.

Something else that caught my attention though was the mention of a scar on Myungsoo's chin. I'm Krystal, where'd he get that? An accident as a child? I'm interested to find out what the significance is!

And oof, the dark look he gives her when she mentions she's going on this journey for her own independence. I feel bad for her, but it must be something hard to hear for Myungsoo too though. Since she implies that he's going on the journey for similar reasons to hers when in reality he's not going for his own independence but the independence of someone else. I wonder what he felt in that moment, because while we know that he's desperate to save Sungjong, I feel like we so far know very little else about how he thinks and who he is (though I'm sure this will be explored in further chapters).

Sorry, this is all so disjointed... and long...my stream on conscious can sometimes just go off (^^;

Chapter 1: Interesting plot of story, but it kinda confusing to read because there're too much sentences on one paragraph, maybe you can split it into some paragraph. Anyway great job!

Chapter 1: Good job on getting out the first chapter! I like how it has introduced us to each titular character, a brief look at their histories, and why they are setting off on this journey. Jongin is the poor boy trying to escape his crimes, Krystal is the sheltered rich girl looking for adventure, and Myungsoo is trying to save Sungjong. From this, I gather the main plot will be centered around the crime Sungjong is falsely accused of, an attempt at escape, and potentially a way for him and Myungsoo to run away (because false or not he is a wanted man) or to clear his name. And I really like how this is set up to be maybe a buddy action story!

On the surface it feels like Myungsoo is the only one with real stakes in main narrative due to he and sungjong being close friends (perhaps something more? Certainly more than just a friend I would think, considering he doesn't even want to live if Sungjong were to die. Idk, though I'm interested in what history they share since it seems that Myungsoo's mother is signing legal papers on Sungjong's behalf. Were they brought up together?). But I want to put down my prediction for now that Jongin and Krystal actually have more to do with the narrative proper. My guess: Jongin who is a "tall man" is the actual killer who, for what ever reason, needed to the kill the high official's daughter, who is Krystals mother who is "now deceased". Which if true I think would set up some great tension if Krystal and Jongin were to fall in love and set some conflicts of interest if Jongin ends up helping Myungsoo in trying to free Sungjong of his sentence...

But these are just my theories for now. Thank you for writing! I can't wait to read what comes next!
