Idk what it is, but I find this couple so much more attractive than all the others of this genre. Though Navier is my fav. I feel like Navier from Remarried Empress and Charlize from this story would have some intrinsic deep understanding of one other even though their goals are totally opposite (living to serve an Empire vs. living to destroy an Empire)

I love this manga—honestly one of my favorites—but this schedule is KILLING the story. Not the uploaders’ fault, but it’s like a few to several months pass between chapters. 43 came out in I think it was early November last year and then it was translated to English in like March or something...the English translation was NO WHERE on the internet. I ended up reading and analysis of raws with to get at least the panels. It’s not the uploaders here who are at fault...I feel like it’s the schedule of the mangaka/publishing house and then the translation team. Idk. Anyone else feel like the time between chapters is ruining the story? It’s like so much effort is put into building internal conflict and rising tension, but if there is too much time to have a break from this tension (between chapters) it’s like you’re sacrificing so much of that tension that pivotal scenes kind of fall a bit flat...at least much much more than if there was less time between this chapter and the last. Ya know?

Before webtoons came on the scene, these kinds of wait times were the norm. Since there weren't that many translated yaoi manga in circulation back when this started (2011), we'd spend the time in between analyzing the crap out of each chapter so the storyline stayed fresh in memory and we became fairly intimate with the characters. That is what the mangaka hoped readers would do. Now with the instant gratification of webtoons, I've seen an increase of comments here that say "I don't care about/I'm not paying attention to the story, I just want to see them have sex" which is heartbreaking.
It takes time to draw and craft such a complex and rich story. There is no way this one could be done quicker. I feel sorry for creators who are expected to crank out content weekly, with readers not only demanding immediate action between characters, but also wanting the story to go THEIR WAY. Even with the slower Japanese schedules, the creators are usually stressed. Weekly releases must be hell for those creators.

Thank your for saying what I meant to say but my English isn’t that good! I don’t mind waiting 3 month to have an update. The story is so rich I wouldn’t able to write or draw something this rich. Why would I want someone else to do it in one week? People just want to see sex scene here there aren’t many yaoi with actual good story line that I read so I really cherish this one.

I never mentioned a weekly schedule or even biweekly, or monthly. Lol?
I would neither want nor expect it to be on a webtoons-type schedule. I think it would be a detriment to the story.
the English version had a wait way longer than other manga that I read. it wasn’t simply that the chapter wasn’t released (they were in Japan), it was that the raws were not found anywhere on the internet (I ended up finding someone’s google doc from Reddit for an analysis like I said...incorporated raw panels from 43 and other chapters). the English version took many months more to show up anywhere online. I’m not calling out the translator here (thank you for your work!!) it was the case no matter where I searched on the internet (again I couldn’t even find the chapter with raws). It was weird and I haven’t come across this before. I wanted to buy it, but I don’t even know where I could nor did I know if doing so would enable me to get the English version (never mind getting that quicker).
all that PLUS the break in such a pivotal conversation between our two male leads just took me out of the story.
So I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and if there was something that happened that led to this OR if it’s just the norm??

Should we expect ch 45 in August and English in early September? Just trying to prepare myself here.

This series takes a while to be come out and be translated. It seems like you already know that and just wanted to vent. It's a bi-monthly release and then sometimes the author takes a break or two because she's human and needs rest.
So if you're really too frustrated by the long wait all you have to do is:
1/ Buy the raws instead of trying to get them illegally from unofficial sources (and complaining that they're hard to find!)
2/Learn japanese so that you can understand what's being said
3/Alternatively, you could drop the story
The only legit complaint would be towards the official english edition, which not only takes long to come out but is also a bit sloppy regarding the translation.

You got me wrong. I truly didn’t realize that was the schedule was bimonthly or that they it was bc they were on break. Could have just said that?
You are right: shouldn’t complain about getting free access—that’s my own rule I broke. And framed within a diatribe, IS obnoxious. Sorry guys.
Let’s not pretend Japanese is some easy pick up. I’ve been trying to learn for some time. My parents live there.
Also never. I’d never drop this manga.

I am one petty bitch for enjoying the vindication served slowly and cold-heartedly to Adolph. Feeling utterly scorned by my ex, it was comforting to watch a cheating, abusive bastard atone without ANY reservation. I mean to never see Lewis again? Harsh. Was it right? Idk. Moral grey area. But it was enjoyable to watch that jerk suffer in a way he had inflicted suffering on those around him.
I can’t believe I’m back reading this a 4th time. Ah it’s just the best. I can’t wait for fargo to come out with a Byul Story. Ah my heart will be complete.
