What's the upload schedule? Cause I do still want to see what happens next lololololol
Teaju caring for their baby is so cute lol
Okay but I'm being serious. Does someone know the schedule?
┑(￣Д ￣)┍
We've been knowing Euja HATES us. She's screamed about it for years. I don't have respect for her but anyways, hope we don't see any bigger repercussions.
Regardless of what WE think, the law will side with Euja. She has the copyright to her story, so it's not like we truly had any sway any which way. Remove the story, don't remove it, read it or don't read it, it's not like she'll hate us any less.
I personally did NOT know her hatred was this violent—to the extend of being proud abt engaging cyberbullying and death threats (and no, that’s not justifiable). I only started reading her comics last year. Had I known her previous comments, I would’ve NEVER started reading her comics. This omegaverse ain’t worth it lol.
“Regardless of what WE think, the law will side with Euja” obviously, but as a fan, we’re ALLOWED to feel disappointed and upset by her responses.
Every few months she'd go on rants about illegal translations and too much cropping. She's been this way for long, and of course she's not right. But it's not like anyone reading illegally was supporting her to begin with, even if she approved of it. I personally don't read/interact with anyone I don't like or care about, but at the end of the day it's not like I was supportive to begin with if I never legally read anything so, meh I ain't gonna complain or support legally ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Sure, everyone is. My point is, we're reading illegally, even if Euja was a Saint sent from heaven, our opinion through our illegal reading habits mean nothing. The best course of action is to block her and move on, don't give her support online. I only follow her for the extra art, but I'm not gonna expose myself to her any day now lol
Yup, already blocked her lol. For any unassuming reader, it’s equally important to correct the misinformation her fanatics is spreading that deny the fact that Euja is a cyberbully who wants illegal readers dead. Authors can be horrible people. We can choose not to support these authors or engage with their work, as you said.
PSA kids! WE SHOULDN'T MENTION ILLEGAL/UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATIONS ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES.
I don't care what Euja said, I would be a hypocrite to feel hurt by an insult about the fact that I read illegally. Quite frankly I've ignored a lot of authors because I've supported them by promoting the legal sites/buying official releases. All this to say, anyone feeling hurt and insulted has no place to say "I won't read anymore!" Or "The author hates poor people!" Mostly because Euja has repeatedly asked people to read on the official website, so have other authors. I follow Euja, so I know that she has had these complaints for years. (BTW, I do agree that Euja was rude and I have lost some respect for her although I understand her anger.)
However, what made this a major problem was the fact that some dumbass decided to flaunt the unofficial translations on twitter (⊙…⊙ )
Let's get one thing straight, any unofficial translation should never be shared where the author can see. This is due to the fact that they can either a) go after individual translation groups (meaning no more translations at a higher quality) or b) go after entire websites (meaning you'll have to find another website or risk having multiple takedowns of content). It is courtesy not only to the author, but to other readers to be on the downlow about unofficial translations and illegal websites. You are risking your own entertainment for some clicks online, so you shouldn't be surprised when authors get mad. There was at least one comic I know of that was ended because the author hated illegal translations, and Painter of the Night is not on here completely because the author threatened to sue the site. I implore everyone to just shut up, let the heat fly over, and move on.
Okay but has anyone actually accepted that nothing is that simple, right?
Teach is traumatized and has a head injury, he doesn't actually remember what happened clearly. Plus, made clear this chapter, Teach is scared of Guwon and that fear is filling in the gaps in memory to fulfill a bias made by said fear. Regardless, the truth may be somewhere in the middle. We can't fully trust that Teach didn't or did kill his father, as much as we can't trust that Guwon did or didn't kill Teach's father. Based on the first chapter it seems that the man killed was not Teach's father, but perhaps it was based on Teach's memory, we simply don't know yet. Teach did somehow move from leaning on a wall to laying in the middle of the room between memories.
Guwon is also not simple. He knows the basics of being "human" but everything else he is basing on his experience and the actions of others (who are extremely careful because of their fear of Guwon and are not actually doing what would be best/what they would do). Guwon follows the lead of the village, who in turn follow the rules to the letter out of fear. This doesn't mean Guwon doesn't act selfishly or recklessly, he is actually moving based on his whims (and although he understands why others are scared, he doesn't actually conceptualize why they don't feel as he does). Trying to say red flag or green flag misses the fact that Guwon is not actually working with human concepts as a human, but more as a newborn humanoid creature (regardless of his origin).
Guwons innocent demeanor is what unsettles me the most. This story is so interesting and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds. I agree with your takes. Some people in the comments do be pissing me off with how much they either baby or simp for Guwon or how much they downplay teach trauma or find him annoying when he’s probably most human for his reactions
Dear lord, I can't really get a read on anyone anymore (⊙…⊙ )
I think the Doctor was not lying though. I think he obviously was biased and has been acting out of fear, BUT I do think he is right on Guwon killing his family and why he did it. Now, this doesn't mean Guwon is some sort of evil manipulator, I stand by the fact that he has some sort of innocence about him (perhaps he's never been taught to be human). This also doesn't make him right or a good person (people are responsible for their actions after all).
Teach however is a wild card, I re read some of the beginning and it's clear the truth is somewhere in the middle. He's not being malicious but Teach is scared of Guwon now, the same as the rest of the village (which may hurt him more in the future). My theory is that Teach's dad broke down after his wife died (as she was alone). Perhaps amongst the chaos the dad tried or accidentally hurt Teach, and Teach tried to defend himself and ended up killing his dad. Perhaps his dad ran away instead, but somehow Teach ended up alone where he was going to be robbed. Guwon then appeared. Regardless of the truth, it seems that Teach is traumatized by the event and has mixed the truth in his head based on his fear. And let's be real, who wouldn't be scared? Guwon is supposed to be at the compound, but he suddenly appeared at the scene of the crime with a big old smile. Like I would try to run.
Anyways, I was right. I knew that Teach being the moral compass of Guwon was a bad idea. Let's be clear, what is morality is actually such a divisive topic because it's not something that has one answer. The Golden Rule of respect itself has nuance, because yes you should treat others how you want to be treated but what about irredeemable criminals? Do they deserve respect even if they have never hurt you? What if they've actually made efforts to repent? Some would be more open to it than others. Life experience can influence how people interpret what morality is. So it's not surprising that Guwon will interpret what Teach teaches him based on his own previous ideas.
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not a fan of this one

I love the original series, but for some reason I don't vibe with this one. I don't know, like something about it pisses me off. I've tried to read it twice and it has good moments, but overall I don't really like it. I get that Miyoshi is a dick and that people want to bring him down his high horse, but I dislike the love interest. I also don't vibe with how unserious Miyoshi's problem is handled too.
Like the who stalker bit is meh, and maybe it's the aggressiveness? Idk, I just don't like the love interest. Looking back, I figured Miyoshi would have a very honest/kind love interest who would make him reflect, not forcefully make him realize his feelings. Like I feel Miyoshi just needed to see someone be honest with themselves to a fault, but that's on my own preferences not on what the story is.
I also disliked how they treated Miyoshi's problem like a silly little thing, like that man has serious problems and it's treated like he's just dumb. His whole life has been built on playing an instrument because he was told to do so, and now that he's doing it professionally, he feels trapped - if he leaves it then he wasted his time, but if he stays he has to push himself to be even better. Idk, it felt kind of dismissive of his own feelings, he was already self-reflecting, rather than talking to him, the love interest tested him in such a dick way. Maybe I'm biased on this because I know that despite not loving playing an instrument, I would fight anyone trying to destroy it (instruments are just generally expensive too).
Idk, maybe it's just a me problem. I've looked at the 2nd volume raws too and meh. I prefer the original series, I dislike this love interest, and I feel bad for how Miyoshi is treated. Idk idk idk
No, you're so right and valid in your opinion. I much preferred he got together with Narumi- like, he was the only one who actually talked to him calmly and tried to understand and reason with him.. which Goto simply didn't do.
Idk idk. Maybe it's because this is 8 chapters long instead of 40+ so we don't know the characters super well but you're right. It's very meh. Compared to the author's other works, especially. Like we know she can write bomb ass, healthy couples but I don't understand her thought process with Miyoshi's love interest. (Narumi would've been so much better, he could've just been more dominant in bed and be a sweetie normally like Yano.. ya'know)
Regardless of the bad actors in the comments, I love seeing the reactions to their baby boy ♡♡♡♡
Like a baby Omega boy is a bit of karma for Teaju who is now going to have to be wary of the same scummy alphas like him lol
Anyways, fun fact - the author never revealed if the baby was going to be a boy/girl or alpha/omega. The only reveal was in the pregnancy check chapter, which does confirm a baby omega boy.
So some recap of the latest chapters:
-Cliff somewhat accepted Leon's feelings.
-Cliff helped Leon jack off (lol), mostly bc Leon was trying to get them to have sex but Cliff said no.
-Cliff was surprised by the guy who beat him up showing up.
-Leon woke up to Cliff being gone, and considering that Cliff was weakened it is unknown what happened exactly but the most possible scenario is that Cliff's enemy kidnapped him. Any reason is unknown.
-Leon went kind of crazy after Cliff disappeared. He was stuck inside their cavern home for a while but he learned to control his magic and began being a menace to his neighborhood.
There might be one last chapter for the side story before we get back to the main story. It seems however, that the likelihood that Cliff is alive is higher. Which does mean that it is possible that Leon could get rescued by Cliff if his own plan fails. But then again, Cliff's enemy could have imprisoned or messed with Cliff, but the author takes a lot of breaks so this will be a looooong ride.
Something makes me think Mr. A did not do anything lewd, its just Little A who is a freaky ass dude hahahaha
Which also makes me think the whole jealousy thing is more about just taking care of the farm animals but Little A is just a freaky ass guy and it sounds weird coming from him hahahahaha
I think most forget that we are actually hated by more authors than just Euja, and I'm sure they've said worse about us ngl. Euja is wrong for her actions, so are we. There is no room for discussion here. Euja should have been more responsible with her words and actions, but the reality is that many more authors have tried to be nice about it too. People point to MeatBun (Erha author) who allowed translations, but you have to understand that MeatBun didn't have a legal translation yet, so that point is mute because now she wants you to buy the legal translations. There was even a whole twt fight about deleting fan translations and to buy the official translations.
And if you think about it, it's mostly a service problem - I dislike most comic publishers for how hard they make it to buy or how bad some translations are. But there are some things that they can't control, if a country doesn't allow 18+ LGBT media, they won't let the company operate there, and they can't stop piracy without literally safeguarding every comic they publish. And that frustrates authors as much as readers, and Euja is an extreme example of that anger. But I know of multiple authors stating they hate illegal translations.
For the person that will inevitably respond, I can't make you love Euja or see her in a better light. It's not like I love her either, I usually don't care about authors unless the story is something I love. And while I like this story, it's not at the level it has changed my life, so I don't think much of Euja. And I have lost respect for her, but it's not like she will care anyways considering I read illegally.
So, I agree she was wrong, and you are free to be angry about it. I am not angry though because I have come to terms with the fact that authors won't love me for reading illegally.
