I'm the original translator of this series, the unofficial one. The way I split chapters is how the author did on their Weibo. It's not my doing. (For Weibo link, I put it on the page before the chapter every time).
I'm so tired of readers complaining about why am I uploading 'CONFUSING' chapters? Here's my explanation:
- Like I said, I'm the unofficial translator. I originally uploaded on FB and Blogspot then someone re-uploaded my tl here.
- Then there was an uploader messing up with my tl so I decided to take over the uploading.
- Later, the author uploaded the manhua on an official platform but the chapter arrangement is different. They combined the short strips into 1 long chapter. And later, the English official tl kicked in. Their arrangements are the same with the Chinese official site.
- Still, on Weibo, the author did NOT change its original arrangement. They still divide one chapter into small strips. If you don't believe me, go check it out yourself. I posted all the links in the page before the chapter.
- There are some people complaining (more like ranting) but mostly on me that why the latter chapters numbers are messed up? Why the name changes since they prefer the English ones and stuff. I'm like bruh, I used the original Chinese names and the English one changed the names on its own and I didn't do anything with the chapter numbers. I follow the Weibo's arrangement and the English official follows the website arrangement so these are not our doings. It's the author.
- So please read this and understand that neither me nor the English official messed up the chapters. It's the author's style on different platform. So you either read or skip. If you prefer the English names, read the official one. If you prefer the Chinese names, read mine. That's it.
Hello, it's me, the regular translator. Sorry for the late update since I was a bit busy and you know, the content of the latest chapter kinda delayed the process. Why? I think you can guess why. TBH I support the author no matter what even if I feel weird out by the sussy stuff a bit. I mean, I'm a pro-shipper and I don't care much if it's just a 2D ship but this manhua isn't BL to begin with so it's completely understandable if readers are uncomfy with the ship (not the Blue x Yellow ship ofc). And I know that it can cause controversy as it's always been. But at the same time, it's my job to keep translating so what I can do is putting (a lot) of warnings in the chapter so some readers are warned in advance and can avoid the parts they might find "uncomfy". Because I know lots of you guys try to stay even if you dislike the sussy parts in the Big Potato chapters because the Little Potato chapters are too good to drop. So I hope you guys understand why I did this.
I know there's gonna be a controversy. Here's my opinion.
According to my observation and analysis, I did have doubts that it's hinted that Potato has a crush on his dad (but it wasn't that obvious until now). But at the same time, if you look at papa/mama wolf, you can see that he never sees or treats Potato in any inappropriate way. He genuinely thinks of Potato as his step son (same as mama wolf in the ch.110.5). He's never once swayed by Potato's sweet actions (only pissed) so it's obvious that Papa wolf does not like Potato in that way. Therefore, it's just a one-sided crush of Potato (ex.in ch.43 where Potato is 27 years old or ch.78 on Father's Day), the way they act around each other is nothing like lovers at all. So even in his adulthood, they're still remain father-son so that's why I think they won't end up as a couple nevertheless.
So here are my suggestions:
- you see it coming what the author's up to so you may consider dropping this series.
- Or if you want to stay but you're uncomfy about this homo undertones, you can just read the baby version because baby version is completely wholesome with no weird undertones. And just skip the adult version.
- Or you think that hey, I'm gonna read it and complain however I want. That's fine but please bear in mind what kind of contents the author love to do. There's gonna be more of this in the future.
These are just my suggestions. My explanations (expectations) above are just to prove to you guys that they won't end up together, only one-sided crush at least. But if you want to drop it anyway, I respect your choice. There's nothing wrong about it.
P.S. personally, I don't care about this ship. I only care about my Blue x Yellow ship. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!
I did strongly feel that potato has a crush on his dad, but I try to ignore it because it may look like I ship them that's why I read it. But this confirms it, author actually ships them and even if she does I'll still read it not because of the ship, but because of how cute their relationship is. Not romantic but just pure wholesome. I'd also like to see the ending for the blue and yellow. But it probably won't happen since the genre isn't shounen ai, plus it may get hate for suddenly turning into something else. If author shows romance signs for blue and yellow, then papa wolf and potato is thus confirmed a ship.
Gosh people are so annoying. If you're not ok, just drop it. There're plenty of wholesome manhua without ambiguous relationship out there. Done. Because don't forget that how much you rant here won't do any changes. This is this author's style. This is what happens when a BL artist wants to write a wholesome story. Even if it's not intentional, the art itself has already given off the bl vibes. Remember, you can't change the author but you can always change the manhua you're reading.
And tbh, as much as I love BL, I'd rather them to be just father-son. And I know it looks ambiguous but try to look at another pov. A son sending cute pictures to his parent(s) isn't strange at all. Same with buying your parents Valentine's Day gift. I did all that same as Potato does. There's nothing wrong or non-familial about that.
Of course I didn't drop the theory that the author ships them, I just don't care since it won't be included in the story anyway. You've been reading this for 100+ chapters so you should know that their relationship doesn't progress in that way at all (but the most possibility is Potato crushing on Papa, but you can see that it's clearly one-sided. Them being a couple is impossible, at least in the story we're reading).
And don't forget that the artist is Chinese, the more reason not to include such content (shounen ai is already being risky so incest-like relationship is even more risky).
In conclusion, if you hope it won't turn into BL, you can rest assured because it won't. If you're ok to take away the BL filter (like I do), it's still a good family manhua. But if you hate even a tiny bit of ambiguous stuff in it, I recommend you to drop it or at least skip the grown up Potato parts
People keep arguing about the ship. As a follower of the author's Weibo and someone who understands Chinese. Let me clarify:
- the author never forbid nor encourage people to ship the 2 MC. They just don't care
- there's a possibility that the author ships them themselves but the ship won't be included in the main story nevertheless. The story won't turn into BL, only some fan services for their fans
- as far as I can see, the most possible ship is Blue x Yellow, this one is more explicit and it seems that the author intentionally hints them in the story that Blue has a crush on Yellow, but will it become mutual? That's hard to tell since the author doesn't plan to make this manhua BL
- so there's no right or wrong in shipping them but my suggestion is, if you ship them, better do it in your area because not all people are comfortable with the ship. And just a reminder, this manhua isn't BL even though it (may) include(s) LGBTQ+ character (ex. Yellow who has a huge crush on the boss but some people may view it as mere admiration and I think it's not wrong). I think the author's kinda give us room for imagination to vary
Can we please stop talking about the ship (papa + Potato)? Not that I'm against the shippers but you have to understand that not everyone is comfortable with the ship so if you express it, you're only starting an argument. Can't we just enjoy this story by putting away BL filter? I want to read wholesome comments instead of arguments and hates
