Kim Woo-jin masih bertahan membaca komik romansa remaja karena tertarik pada karakter Shimizu Miyuki, teman masa kecil karakter utama laki-laki dalam cerita.

Fenomena ini sudah menjadi klise dalam komik bergenre 'Harem,' yang merujuk pada karakter utama laki-laki dan para gadis-gadis yang menyukainya. Sebuah pola yang, meski berulang, tetap berhasil menarik perhatian pembaca. "Selalu sama seperti yang lain, hanya saja sifatnya sangat baik dan polos. Tapi menerima semuanya dengan senyuman saat ditolak, sungguh hebat sekali. Awal cerita mereka selalu bersama seperti tidak terpisahkan, tapi setelah SMA, banyak gadis yang mendekati Protagonis Sampah," gumam Kim Woo-jin. 1. Kim Woo-jin sebagai Fujimoto Ren 2.

Di dunia yang berada di ambang kehancuran, di mana esensi magis mulai memudar dan teknologi kuno perlahan lenyap, Aerth terpecah oleh perang yang tak berkesudahan. Aetherium, sumber kehidupan bagi sihir dan inovasi, hampir habis, meninggalkan faksi Timur dan Barat dalam perjuangan putus asa untuk bertahan hidup. Barat dikuasai oleh The Despot, seorang tiran kejam dan penuh teka-teki yang membangun kekuasaannya di atas ketakutan, keserakahan, dan penderitaan.
