The Golden Forest - By YUN Sori (9.5/10)

This is the yandere fantasy epic. The hole in one. I have my own personal tastes, but this is it. Story wise there are no plot holes. The female lead is strong in a way that makes sense, because she was cursed with a hard life. The absolute savagery displayed by her two love interests doesn't make them any less interesting. They are not meatheads, idiots, or madmen. They are so much more dangerous than all of those things.

Reniae rejected a blessing from a goddess, and so it morphed into a curse. The gods can be generous, but not when you cross them. Reniae was supposed to accept a blessing that would bring love into her life. Everlasting, powerful love from strong suitors. The problem is Reniae is an orphan, who was only five or six at the time. She is afraid of men, and she most certainly did not want to be desired by anyone powerful.

I'll admit it. The beginning is the weakest part of this story. There's alot of plot convenience, but it's worth it because everything is connected, and the fantasy world is well developed. Reniae is pretending to be a man in the beginning of this story. She avoids eye contact and she doesn't even talk to men, because her blessing of love is now a curse. If any man tries to rape her or attack her they are killed brutally by black smoke. It only happens under certain conditions, and sometimes it kills innocent people. After the smoke kills four men she meets a handsome man, who is about to die. Her curse has killed lots of people. She's lonely, and also her first love betrayed her. She decides to save the man, but she covers his eyes. The curse makes men want her madly, so she strikes a deal with the bloody man. She says she'll heal him and protect him, if he agrees to sleep with her (with the mask on) after he heals.

I know it sounds a little weird, but Reniae has been surrounded by cursed men obsessed with her since childhood. She just wants to try to have a normal kind of relationship with one. Just once, without the curse. The man she picked up is named Kun, and he doesn't break his promise. He keeps the mask on, and Reniae shares the origin legend of her southern homeland. The origin of her world is about the selfishness of love. Immortal sky folk used to exist. Dragons and big eagles too. The dragon and the highest angel both fell for a spirit, who lived inside a golden tree. She was beautiful and perfect. The two gods took human forms so she would love them...and she didn't. It was a one sided love. That love caused so much horror. The highest angel gave up his immortal life, and condemned his descendants to mortal lives on the ground. The dragon grew resentful, and tried to manipulate the tree spirit when she refused his affections. In the end the beautiful tree spirit was devoured by a wretched eagle beast who raped her. Then, the world became the imperfect thing it is today.

Reniae believes the tree spirit was in the right. The two gods tried to force her to love them with begging, bribes, and manipulation. They created the imperfect mortal world with their selfishness. If they had just left the tree spirit alone everybody would still be immortal and floating in space. They were obsessed with her. They did not respect her. Kun does not agree. He believes that love will be reciprocated if you put in enough effort. He's a very earnest, religious, and conservative man. He falls for Reniae even though he can't see her face. He respects her hunting skill, and he's grateful to her for saving his life. He accidentally says he'd like to put a child in her. He kisses her hands while she's asleep. Remember. Kun cannot see her face. The curse is not affecting him. He is wholly and utterly convinced that Reniae is his destined partner. She refuses to even tell him her name. When they have sex she doesn't take the freaking mask off his eyes, but he believes it. Reniae has been burned once before, so after he heals she leaves him alone in the woods. Misunderstandings unfold. Kun returns to slaughter the rest of her group. She lived with unscrupulous thieves to stay alive. He kills every one, and naturally she thinks he wants her dead. Then, she finds out he's a prince...with a wife and a child on the way.

Owch.

Another big betrayal.

Reniae goes back down south, because her heart is melting. Her first love branded her. There's a spell on her heart that will kill her in four days, if certain conditions are met. Magic doesn't thrive up north. That's why she hid there, but now king Kun is killing every bandit on his land. She can't stay, so she returns to her toxic...ex-master who is too racist to admit that he's physically attracted to her. Yup. I really hope Gizzida loses. He's a total nutjob who barely manages to look sane, because he's crafty. He's annoyingly smart and he's the most gifted magic user ever. He technically fell in love with Reniae when she was a child, but it wasn't sexual love then. Not really. The beginning of their relationship was paltonic. They were an overly close master and servant. He thinks of her as a mud person. An ant that entertains him. That's what he tells himself, but then he suffers. He gets hurt for her sake. He spoils her. He sacrifices for her and avoids his duties. He starts acting...stupid...

Gizzida became her master for a reason. The Golden Forest needs female sacrifices. The slaves think they will be used to give birth. There are only 1,200 descendants of the sky people left who can use magic. They're basically a cult. A dying one which wishes to ascend to heaven by committing genocide. They are much more savage than the northmen, even though they believe they are superior. Gizzida didn't know he felt possessive of Reniae because magic users don't marry. They just breed as a group for ten days a year. His feelings are totally unnatural, and his students think he's insane.

The harvest festival comes, and it's a fucked up orgy. The current leader is supposed to rape a bunch of girls one by one, and kill them on an altar. For fertility or something. The sky descendants have succumbed to madness. They believe they're special to the gods, but they're not. They're just a cult with way too much terrifying magic power. Sex with the sacrifice isn't really necessary. They just need to die for no reason in the orgy room. Reniae is cursed so she's able to escape the leader of the sky cult. Gizzida covers her escape, and that's when he uses a brand to bind her to the forest. He never wants her to leave him, but she must hide for four days, until the succession is done. One of Gizzida's pupils turns against him. She warns Reniae and tells her to hide in the mountains that cannot feel magic. Reniae denies it, but then she feels the pain. Gizzida branded her because he wants her, and that's not love.

After Reniae returns she sees with Gizzida has become. He's just like the last sky cult leader, but he's stronger and...much worse. He does the orgy thing every damn year. He kills helpless slaves in cult ceremonies, and he sleeps with countless women to enrich his species. When Reniae comes back he makes her his bodyguard. He admits leading the cult is driving him nuts. He tells Reniae to never leave his sight. He even makes her watch him sleep with women.

Gizzida thinks he has to kill every person in the north to become a god. Kun, and his men, are descendants of the eagle who ate the tree spirit. The northmen feared, hated, and revered their cruel god. The eagle ate their daughters, but it also taught them how to thrive in the north. The northmen decided to be better. After the gods diminished they became a militarized, modern people. They believe in strict monogamy and violent honor. Gizzida figures out that Reniae is the one who saved Kun. He sends her up north to kill him. There, Reniae finds the truth. Kun has been waiting for her. She is the wife he was bragging about. He didn't even have a child. That was just a rumor. After Kun slept with her he confirmed their marriage vows alone, and he's been using his eagles to look for her. He's a tad bit unstable after waiting for so long but he's husband material. He's awesome and Reniae does love him back. Even though he stood vigil over her with an axe so she couldn't escape and stuff. Even though he's so rough in bed that a doctor always has to see her after. (I do think they'd be a great couple but Gizzida sucks).

Terrible news. Reniae was half sky priest all along. She can use magic. She was most likely a leftover baby from a sacrifice and a guilty member of the cult. That means Gizzida can bang her now. Ew. He's been waiting a VERY long time for an excuse to do that. He has amassed a huge amount of magic power. He's strong enough to kill Kun with one spell, so she has to play Gizzida's sick game. He makes her tell Kun he's an ugly eagle demon no one could love, and she also has to...bleh...kiss Gizzida in front of the man she truly wanted to marry.

The story isn't over yet, but even if the ending is trash it's a yandere masterpiece.

Expecting Kun to stay "faithful" to Reniae, when he only knew her for a few days, never saw her face, she told him to sleep with him as payment for saving his life (and the alternative given to him was murder), constantly faced rejection by her, was told to forget about her and never come back again and then heard the news that she had died is quite frankly beyond ridiculous. You do not value the sacrifice he had made when he refused to take a wife for years and searched for her relentlessly even when everyone else thought she had died and tried to pressure him for marriage. Especially when he returned as the only surviving heir after the massacre of his whole family and he is under constant threat of assassination. There is a country that wants to genocide his whole race for fucks sake! Kun is a male Penelope of Ithaca, literally the embodiment of marital fidelity.

I cannot stress enough what an immense act of devotion it was for him to make Reniae, an orphaned girl with no important background who could bring nothing to his marriage, his queen when she was a foreigner and there was a war with the Southlands looming on the horizont. This alone could earn him so much hatred by fellow clan leaders who had been united under him. And when she confessed to him that she was infertile that she could really give him nothing. He, who values traditions above all else and always dreamed of having children, was horrified at the mere idea of taking another woman to make a son and make Reniae his concubine. He chose to remain childless for her sake and adopt a successor. That's love right there.

i read the golden forest

So i was texting my friend the very abridged and butchered version of the plot that i needed to tell her to say that i was indeed right about my guess about the thing

and i was actually texting in our native language and she was reading it abit too attentively and she kinda got stuck on the she sleeps with an eagle and then he eats her after she gives birth to his children part of the worldbuilding

and like the story is great, very sumerian mythology based world building but also a great thru line kept for the whole thing and the main characther was interesting even if she kind of lost me at some of the last parts

but the surroundibg characthers like obv kun at that point but also very much sabato for exampe, defunetly pulled it thru, and very much the world building and the connections between the stories and all of that

anyway spoilers

!

i had kinda guessee the whole golden forest northern people thing while they were still in the mine. like not fully with detail of course but i had told her that i think the northeners are actually the descendants of gods and the priests are robbing their graves for the stones so they can pretend its them, which obviously as i red more the theory got much more polished

but anyway thats an example of a good twist, im the sort that usually figuires out twists uh relatively early? idk the story was being pretty direct about it at parts and i went like several times Shes gonna kill him eitha branch at the tree and shes gonna end up burningt he tree with the stone kun gave her as a bethronal gift etc etc, like the story was just building itself very well, it was really trying to hide anything it was mostly building atop itself in a very satisfying manner that in the end even if you got it you feel like retroactively there are even more clues
