I'm so upset that the english translation for the novel was removed from all sites, I was keen to read it before any adaptations (that I knew would follow as it seemed like a good novel). At least now I can continue following the story with the manga... even though it misses the details within the novel.
hopefully this webtoon adaptation is successful, kang totem! i'm currently reading the novel and it is really good, can't wait to see how they draw out the other chapters.
I'm currently reading a fan translation of the novel and I'm up to vol.4. I'll be honest, I don't know how the author is going to tie their romance together. There are a few flutter moments but overall it's very hard realism in the romance department.
Nonetheless, can't wait for the future chapters!
[spoiler] I finished vol.5 few minutes ago, and all I can say is: just wait ;)
Everything happens very organically and it's very THEM.
Taek Joo's relationship with Zhenya was unusual from the start (that's an understatement), and since it's Zhenya we are talking about here, I never expected some grand romance between them, especially after what he did to Taek Joo. Plus, Teak Joo himself is rather closed-off and not overly emotional person. But they make it work somehow, in their own special way. I was actually surprised many times how sweet they can be together.
Anyway, now that I finished the novels, I'm feeling very bittersweet. I'm going to miss them and I can't wait for the manhwa to cover vol.3-5. Tbh, vol.4 may be my favorite over all, though I wonder if I'd feel the same with good translation. PS. Did your fan translation is also... quite unfortunate, or did you get lucky? [/spoiler]
Read and reread. All I can say is just waiting(impatiently) for the manhua to continue! Love these guys
Oh, thanks for your opinion on it! I also don't expect a big, heart-fluttering, sweep-you-off-your-feet romance but I could already kind of see the signs of it happening. I'm on vol 4 and excited to see what it brings now!
My translation is... unfortunate at times and okay at others.
they are so so well written!
Pls where have yall read the novel. Novelu...pdates
I'm glad that someone else is enjoying this story. It really got to me for some reason, i.e I've become obsessed/passionate about it enough to read the novels, which almost never happens. I hope to see you here again after you finish the 5th book, and maybe share you thoughts? For me, Taek Joo and Zhenya's story was a journey and a half! The translation I got (from reddit, I think - it was a while ago) has a lot of okay parts, but a lot of the dialogues don't make much sense; also pov switches constantly and gendered words like his/hers and him/her get confused xD. Still, it was a fun ride nontheless and I'm definitely gonna re-read.
Try booktoki
Thought this updated but it was just the uncensored version.. I still reread the chapter and the mismatched, too large yaoi hands are still making a comeback in 2024. I can't look at his hand seriously
I want the ending, I want to know what happens next.. yoneda kou, why do you always do this TT
I feel like the story had potential but the translation is just off-putting and makes it really hard to understand the story.
I liked the story, it had a cute progression and I'm happy they became a couple. BUT why is everyone ignoring the fact that an adult had sex with a minor? I mean I get it, it just fantasy but it shocked the hell out of me when it came up cause she said their age gap was a problem that kept them from dating. Anyways, it's a cute story.
I'm in tears, the last update was in 2016 and I want more of stories 1 and 3, particularly story 1. I wanted to see their development so much. If anyone knows any information about it or has access to the raws, please share!
I'm on ch 37 and I'm low-key losing interest, maybe it's my short attention span but I don't know whether to continue reading in hopes it will get better (I have a feeling it will but I'm not sure why I just can't get into it) or just come back to it later. Advice, thoughts?
Definitely continue. The plot is interesting and the fight scenes are ok in my opinion
this had so much potential, the plot was fresh, art was okay... SO WHY RUSH THE STORY??? AND THE ENDING???
honestly after like the second chapter everything went downhill.
