Don't know if anyone still searches this tag, but something has been bothering me for a while now.
So, I tried doing some research on the new novel that came out years ago, and I'm very confused about a couple of things.
What happened to Joel? One Korean page said he died, though Adam denies this. The rough translation of the novel that was posted on the wikia states that he had no children of his own. The same Korean page said that David (dark-haired boy) was his son and therefore the 7th Joel who refused to take the reigns of Red Shield (hence why he goes by David). One Japanese review of the novel said they were sad after reading Joel's last words on the very last page. This is strange to me because there's artwork of the new characters and old ones, and Joel has a different hairstyle and visible wrinkles around his eyes (he would be in his early 40s at least since his page says 26+ and the light novel states he's in his mid to late 20s).
What about Julia and David's kid Adam? Isn't Adam really a certain character who was resurrected? It would make sense if he was their son given his features. Whereas David could easily be Joel's kid.
I don't care for spoilers as I have no plans of purchasing and translating the novel myself as from what I've read so far, it is a huge disappointment.
Thanks in advance.
