So i had to look up from the translator's discord only to remember that it had to be wiped from the site. Legal issues. I did some digging though and this website seems to have the chapters. Seemed to be one of the pirate sites that siphons novels from fan translation groups so there's that..idk how complete the chapters are https://www.novelcool.com/chapter/Little-Mushroom-Chapter-1/4283034/
You can buy the ebook novels on amazon. Please support the author and publisher - theyre a small business and ive never seen a translation done this well before.

Yes, they fixed it pretty quickly. I'm surprised you're only finding out about it now
I procrastinated reading this series for a long time because I thought it was some giant change but then I actually read it and compared both versions and it took effort to find the difference. I thought it would be an entire scene because of how mad people got about it, but it was a single sentence
I only found out about the serialization a few months ago and while searching i found the reddit posts about the censorship and i went paranoid. I just don't have the reviews of someone who got the volume 2 book that could clarfiy it was fixed.
Apparently the censorship was no hugs and kisses. Is that true? Are the hugs and kisses gone from the novel or is it still there.
It seems peach flower got the censored manuscript from the author which was intended to go through chinese censors and not the one that would be for western release.
What series are you looking to buy?
The censored version has a hug. The uncensored version has a kiss. It's such a small change that I'm surprised someone even noticed it...
Peach Flower was pretty clear about which version you would be getting after all the backlash - They automatically changed all pre-orders to the uncensored version, and they sold the censored version at a discount. I didn't know that was what happened though. Poor Peach Flower got hate for something that wasn't even their fault
might drop this and read the novel once the second season starts if the artist changes honestly, i picked this up due to the breathtaking art, and even if the art is good next season as well, i feel like it wouldnt be the same (no hate towards the future potential artist at all)
