The Hounds of Sisyphus Chapter 18 of this intense BL manhwa promises to deepen the chaotic and emotional journey of Pyo Guwon and Heo Jinwoo in a world where the dead refuse to stay buried. If you’re itching to know the release date, time, tantalizing spoilers, and where to read this thrilling installment, you’re in the right place. Dive in as we unpack everything you need to stay immersed in this apocalyptic tale of survival and secrets!
What Happened in The Hounds of Sisyphus Chapter 17?
Deepening an already-established patriarchal relationship in a frenzied, apocalyptic landscape (a world of the living, yet dead, aimless wanderers), our attention turns further to the relationship between Pyo Guwon and Heo Jinwoo in The Hounds of Sisyphus Chapter 17. The chapter continues the emotional/romantic tension and presents surprises and drama mixed together. The chapter focuses us on a moment in the relationship between Guwon and Jinwoo that will become important.

Afraid of the overwhelming feelings, Jinwoo kisses Guwon, admitting he is ready to cross the limits in their dynamic. Guwon seems to return, but the last panel shocks them as he pulls away, revealing confusion or hidden intentions. This makes his connection to them ambiguous and therefore questions their intentions from Guwon. The wariness that people from the village have with Guwon only adds to the suspicion, insinuating that he might be hiding something important, maybe related to his mysterious past or abilities.
The setting still is not good; the village where “death holds no meaning” becomes more disturbing. The now-sewn neck and charred arms of Guwon that we mentioned before fuel such theories that he could be more than human—perhaps a zombie or mutant with such powers as memory manipulation. Those recurrent dreams of Jinwoo and those ever-increasing gaps in his memory would support this assumption that Guwon might be manipulating those around him.

The chapter introduces these clues rather indirectly, leaving readers to guess at the bigger conspiracy going on. The use of the name Sisyphus in the title, a Greek trickster who cheated death, it seems, is referring to the enigmatic nature of Guwon. His playful ‘puppy act,’ as opposed to the villagers’ fear, only increases the mystery. The chapter juxtaposes romance with psychological tension. Given Jinwoo’s attraction to Guwon, he is feeling something fishy.
What will Happen in The Hounds of Sisyphus Chapter 18?
In Chapter 18, you can expect to stick to the complicated relationship of Pyo Guwon and Heo Jinwoo. Once Guwon pulled back from being kissed, Jinwoo might question him, expressing his concern about his emotion or intention. This can result in a heated back-and-forth, with Jinwoo insisting on honesty as Guwon evades or peels off a little of that secretive past.

Their romantic tension will likely increase, but Guwon’s wariness will set them off, leaving Jinwoo uneasy with trust and with mistrust. Guwon’s mysterious attributes, including his neck sewn up, his arms turned black, and the keening of the villagers, are likely to come into their own. The chapter may throw in otheres as to whether he’s a zombie, a mutant, or anything else, maybe related to his possible power to alter memories.
Jinwoo’s strange dreams and memory gaps, if they get worse, may make him doubt reality and question if Guwon is manipulating him. A flashback or cryptic remark from Guwon could insinuate him to the apocalyptical world or “courts death holds no meaning” village. Cases of suspicion between Guwon and the villagers may reach a boiling point, resulting in an outbreak or an instance when they stand in his face.

This may create the necessity for Guwon to demonstrate some hidden skill or power, thus escalating all sorts of theories about the true nature of this character. The Sisyphus myth, associated with cheating death, implies Guwon’s secrets are central, and Chapter 18 may hint at a greater conspiracy beneath the rising dead.
