When I started reading the manhwa it was still at chapter 9 but I sensed this story had potential so I decided "why not?" and read the novel out of curiousity. This is actually the first time I have ever done that and omg I have no regrets!
At the time I'm writing this, this novel is still ongoing or at least the translation is. But the plot is really interesting and the every chapter got me hooked! For those worried that the MC might get pushed around by the ML despite being strong, do not worry! Cha Eui Jae is strong and y'all just gotta trust in him.
One of my biggest pet peeves in BL is when the ML just starts liking the MC for no damn reason. Like I get he's the MC and they have to end up together but they gotta give me something more than because hes so cute, kind, etc. But in this novel they give us a reason as to why the ML is drawn to the MC and they got good chemisty to.
For anyone who wants to read this: It's is a slow burn and the plot and character development comes first. So if you are expecting intimate scenes early on, you gotta wait a while. But when the more intimate scenes do happen, its def worth it.
If you look up "Mentoltrans", their wordpress blog has all the translations.

I read it on here
I'm aware we don't know how many chapters the novel of this will end up being but without any spoilers, does anyone have an estimate for how complete the story is?
is the novel like 50%/60%/80% complete?
I wanna start reading the novel but if I finish 600+ chapters and find out we are not even halfway through the story I think I'd lose my sanity waiting for more lmaoo
The manga is like 5-10% of the way through the novel, maybe less... the novel doesn't seem like it'll finish soon either as there is still a lot of plot left to cover. You should totally read the novel though, it gives so much more details than the manga could ever cover!!!
I'd say the raws are somewhere between 70% and 80% but the translated chapters are still far behind
!! This is just speculation from a q&a the author did some time ago !!
According to them, the story is divided in a classic 4 part story, and they claimed that it was still in the first part (world building part) when the story was around 500/600 chapters.
Rn the translations are around chapter 700 (for free) and it's the middle of an important arc, which I'm not sure if it will mark the end of the world building phase. Idk about the rest of chapters up to date (chapter 1100s on Patreon) but I'd say maybe (a big big MAAAAYBE) the novel could be around a 20/25% done
oh wow so we still have a long way to go lol
Seems like we do lmaoo but tbh I'm so excited and kinda thankful for that idk, love me some good complex fantasy story
oomg that's crazy if true This is like the slow burn of all slow burns lol
But thanks for this info!
Are the raws Ur refering to the novel chapters? Or manhua
