For me, the R18 helps a me a lot understand the characters and the main character’s dynamics with each other. But does the R18 help you understand this lawyer conflict storyline? I don’t think so.
Imo, the R15 already had enough information for you to understand the conflict of the story. It’s very one of a kind plot that I found in BL so far, so you might find it difficult to understand.
I do get the gist of their conflict but I have a hunch that there are more details that are lost in R15 due to the censorship or probably outright removal of some scenes and in turn dialogue, and not just their dynamics as you said. Maybe i'll attempt again when the R18 version catches up
hmm I'd say in my experience translating the scenes for s1 there haven't been any crucial plot points that have been skipped over. they have censored some of the dialogue to not be overtly sexual in the lead up to some of the 18+ scenes, but like hale said you're pretty much getting the entire plot! it's just that some of the build up/dynamic between the main leads is lost without those R18 chapters.
I've never fully comprehended the plot for this and idek why I still read it. There are times where I would understand a bit, and then feel completely lost again esp on the part where the leads get feelings or something lol. Will the R18 version make me understand more?
