Manhwa as a genre has gained immense popularity over the years, yet it often employs the same formula: overpowered protagonists, convenient plot devices, and cliches that are recycled with little creativity. Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint stands out in such a crowded field not by rejecting these familiar tropes but rather by embracing them in a way […]

DUECE Jones-Drew is better than his NFL icon dad was at the age of 16 – and has high hopes of making it all the way.
The high school running back grew up idolizing his father Maurice Jones-Drew as he became one of the best players in Jacksonville Jaguars history.
Duece plays for the same De La Salle high school where his dad attended – and made an immediate impact on debut.
He missed his entire freshman year with a shoulder injury, but exploded for a 64-yard touchdown run to begin his sophomore season in August.
Earlier this month he played on the international stage as De Le Salle took on the UK-based NFL Academy at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
The 16-year-old has blistering speed having ran the 100 meters in 10.8 seconds and is already attracting attention from colleges such as UCLA and Utah.
And the high school sophomore is on a trajectory to be even better than former NFL rushing leader dad Maurice was.
Speaking to The Sun about following in his dad’s footsteps, Duece said, “I would’ve played football anyway.
“I used to get football cards when I was young and spread them out and play with them.
“It’s always just been football, football, football.
“We have a long season ahead but definitely the NFL is the goal and so far it’s been pretty good.”
Duece has already dealt with the agony of injury after being forced into shoulder surgery.
“It definitely sucks being on the side lines just watching,” he admitted.
“I had surgery last year and was out the whole year the I came back and dislocated it again.
“But I got to see the game from a different perspective and that helped a lot.
“I was doing track in the off-season to help with my speed and feel like I’m doing good right now.”
Duece grew up in a football family and learned some valuable lessons from his dad.
MAURICE Jones-Drew shed tears of joy when his son scored a touchdown on debut for the same high school he went to.
“I definitely cried in the car,” Jones-Drew told The Sun.
“It was tears of joy more than anything.”
“I saw him get hurt, have surgery and go through the ups and downs.
“To see him go out there in the first game in high school and score a 60-yarder was pretty amazing.”
“I know how far hard work takes you,” the 16-year-old said.
“He’s not on me a lot about it but I saw what he did in the NFL and I know I need to translate it to my game.
“I have a different personality on the field than off the field.
“Off the field I’m a quiet person, but on the field I can let out a bit more.
“It’s always good to have a resource to get everything out.”
A POPULAR women’s clothing store will be closing its doors, marking the end of an era after 27 years at the same location.
The Talbots store has been a fixture at The Summit shopping center in Birmingham, Alabama, since its opening in 1997.
A sign posted in-store confirmed the closure at the end of October, stating, “This location is closing, but this isn’t goodbye.”
It directs loyal customers to another location in Montgomery and encourages them to shop online.
The news was first shared on the Friends of HWY 280 Facebook page, where many long-time customers expressed their disappointment.
One person commented: “So terribly disappointed. This store served a huge community for such a long time… Sad day for women of the community.”
Another said, “I’m heartbroken. That location is a beautiful store. I often visit.”
Several customers voiced frustration, speculating that the closure is linked to the upcoming arrival of a Lululemon store at The Summit.
“So disappointed in The Summit for pushing this move for Lululemon. I guess money talks,” one post read.
The closure doesn’t mean the end for dedicated fans, as the store’s Montgomery location remains open, and shoppers can continue to buy online.
The Summit, meanwhile, has been busy with other new openings, including stores like American Eagle, Mizzen + Main, and Gorjana Jewelry.
Luxury brand BOSS is also set to open by the end of 2024.
With a raft of brick-and-mortar stores shuttering across the nation, retail experts say many chains are in financial strife due to increased borrowing costs and consumers tightening their wallets.
According to analysis by retail data provider CoreSight, there has been a 24% increase in store closures in 2024 alone.
Several retailers across the United States have undergone mass closures after bankruptcy filings this year.
Big Lots recently confirmed its Chapter 11 filing after weeks of speculation and detailed plans for around 545 store shutdowns.
LL Flooring will also close half of its over 400 locations after a quiet bankruptcy filing and revert to an old name under its new ownership.
Some clothing retailers also took similar actions.
Express filed for bankruptcy in April and confirmed nearly 100 locations would shutter for good.
Rue21 also submitted another bankruptcy filing after one in the early 2000s and confirmed it would shut down all of its remaining stores.
CRUZ Beckham has declared his love for his much older girlfriend Jackie Apostel publicly as they were spotted kissing in Beverly Hills.
David and Victoria Beckham’s youngest son took to social media to make his feelings towards his new beau known on her 29th birthday on Friday.
In an Instagram story to mark the occasion, Cruz showed Jackie sitting in front of a large cake, waiting to blow out the candles.
He captioned it: “Happy Birthday xx I love you,”
Jackie reposted the cute pics, telling her followers: “Was sobbing.”
Jackie also posted to her Instagram sharing a mirror selfie with her boyfriend alongside some kiss emojis.
Cruz has been with the Brazilian singer since April.
The couple were then spotted publicly together at Glastonbury in June.
They have since become known for their very PDA approach to one another and were most recently seen looking loved-up as they strolled around Beverly Hills arm-in-arm on Tuesday.
Cruz was pictured wearing a Beatles t-shirt, baggy trousers and a blue cap, while the singer opted for a stylish black satin midi dress with a gold belt and black ballet flats.
The couple were pictured looking very cosy together, kissing outside an Italian eatery.
His new love has also been pictured with the Beckham family and was sat front row at Victoria’s latest Paris Fashion Week show wearing one of her designs.
Previously part of the Brazilian girl band Schutz, she gained more than one million plays on her first EP – Reformation a side – a trip on the Relationship.
She now makes a living through songwriting.
They got together following the breakdown of Cruz’s relationship with the Norwegian music artist Bby Ivy, Viktoria Reitan.
He was accused of cheating on her after the singer posted a video to TikTok, which was cryptically reshared by another romantic interest, Issey Moloney.
He had been linked to Issey prior to his relationship with Bby Ivy.
He has also been linked to actress and dancer Skye Ladell, and Tana Holding, 19, who he split with in October 2023.
