I LOVE MEN's activites

Thank fuck he's getting humbled. People who can't understand how important it is for Nagi to get disqualified really didn't understand the point of Isagi's whole genius vs. talented learner spiel. It's almost imperative and, narratively, it makes the most sense for Nagi to be disqualified because he is only a prodigy, not a genius, and definitely not a talented learner.

Nagi is a prime example of people who can get far with raw talent alone, but they cannot compete on a world stage if they lack the summative elements of having the enthusiasm/drive to work on said talent + the wit to put it to good use strategically. Chapter 298 shows exactly how Nagi lacked both of those elements I listed. He found his drive way too late and even then it's a pretty shitty reason for becoming the world's best, as intrinsic motivation is a much more robust driver for "becoming the best." This is why Isagi, Rin, and Barou are at the top and Nagi can't make the cutoff; these three all have intrinsic motivators for improving themselves. Wanting to get good at soccer because you want to play with a friend is an extrinsic motivation, and it's the same pitfall we saw Bachira go through prior to U-20. Then, Nagi fucking chokes in front of the goal because he lacks the wit and strategic planning to use his skills advantageously in the moment. If he had worked on this earlier because he had a stronger intrinsic motivator, I don't think he would've choked as hard. By the way, this is the same logic behind why Isagi was able to pull off the two-gun volley when Kaiser and Rin were riding his dick at the penalty box.

Does this mean Nagi is out of the story? Possibly. Nagi is known to be Kaneshiro's favorite character, and you know what they say amongst authors: kill your darlings.

However, does it mean it will really happen? Only Isagi knows at this point. I personally don't foresee Nagi coming back as a U-20 player, but he might be able to secure a contract with another country IF we get to club arcs. (Pls kaneshiro I hope we do)

Hate to be hyper critical, but from chapter 100+, things took a turn for the worse. Development is lacking, lot of plot holes, too many local time skips, and romantic interactions between Erez and Keira are sparse and forced, especially if he's endgame. There was no time or attention given to develop their romance. Oddly enough, the first 80 chapters did a better job at depicting slight hints of romance between either ML candidates than the finale. This is coming from an Erez stan. The resolution for Joseph was abysmal LOL. Like you've gotta be on the same level as a dog eating scraps off the dinner table if you think that was "closure" for Joseph. Fucking wild. I don't even care that they spun the original story to introduce a romantic canon partner for Keira. I just hate how they did it.

Ayaji is supposed to be this grand daddy demon lord, but he somehow just felt like a npc. No character or depth, even though he clearly had a backstory. Speaking of backstory, who the fuck is Erez and why does he have long hair and why is he weaker? Oh right, there's no explanation for any of that. Figures. And don't even get me started on that Ragebait-Ragifuck-Baghdad-Rad-Chick-from-Mars' nonexistent punishment. Like whatever the fuck happened to her and her gooner posse--the world will never actually know. Just tell us that nothing happened after she went back to the demon world, you cucks. You can't just say something will happen and not show me that it happened. It's not like she was the villain for this entire story and the purpose of 150 chapters was building up to her defeat. Yeah, it's totally not like we should see the culmination of her treachery and her demise come into fruition in realtime. W writing and spacing btw.

The only scene that can be considered remotely acceptable or adequate would be Keira's final goodbye to Cosette at her gravestone. Other than that, we are cooked. It's you, me, and the editors playing Russian Roulette to see who will get pegged tonight. Looks like you and I are bending over on all fours, buddies. Just goes to show how we're probably all better off reading the novels first, so we don't get trolled by impatient studios.

With all that said, I hope the artists and editors are feeling relieved that it's all over and are enjoying their break. I mean, after feeding us sloppy seconds, they better be enjoying that cool fresh Hawaiian breeze. Womp womp. Next!!

WHAT THE FUCK?? THEY CANT JUST FUCKING END ON A CLIFFHANGER JUST TO DIVE INTO THE MANSHINE MATCH BEFORE SALARY REVEAL. WHY WHY WHY I NEED TO SEE THAT 350MIL ON PAPER KANESHIRO U BASTARD BUT WELL DONE FUCK

Someone please tell me so I can pull the trigger and read this shit

I FUCKING KNEW THIS SHIT OMG OMG I NEVER STOPPED BELIEIVING UR THE FUCKING GOAT DEMON KING!!! UNKILLABLE DEMON KING SLAYYYY

Not Kaiser being like "I got more trauma than you therefore..."

Let Himsagi cook. BM got this.

Go to author's twitter (@chima_alarm) to find their naver blog post that has a link to the written smut scene on postype.

I'm ngl I don't understand why they chose to make her hair green instead of just pure black like it's described in the novel.

I just finished part 1 (ch.145) and I'm gonna binge the rest this weekend but HOLY FUCK. This story has somehow transferred abandonment issues to me via secondhand. I didn't even know it was possible. I'm scared for them? I'm scared for ME now. Wtfffff I'm screaming and crying at the same time what the fuck. Boy what the hell boy. If anyone shares the same sentiments like what in the fuck are we feeling brothers??? ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

And so far they kiss 2x on the lips in part 1. Scenes with kisses on other body parts are at least 4+. Kiss counter for the horny mother fuckers that can't help themselves (exhibit ME). Go straight to chapters 136+ for the smooches. There do be a scene before 136 with a hand smoochie from Sayoung but that ain't the main event. That was like a fucking fraction of the depth involved with that scene. You will know when you know

im now at ch.91 in the novel and a bitch is crying. i admit it. ya heard me. a bitch be crying and screaming. the ugly kind.

PLEASE TELLL ME WHEN THEY KISS. AND DO THEY FUCK?! OR IS IT IMPLIED LIKE I NEED TO KNOWWWWW

Wtf happened to jerox

Can someone please tell me who the real ML and FL is? I'm debating on whether I should start reading or just wait until this brews... if there's no definite ML, then can someone tell me who the candidates and (objectively) what their character is all about. If you could also include their chances of getting with the FL(s), that would be great too. Thank you!

just fucking read it. the author's logic isn't logic-ing so well in the english translation, hence why it borderlines insanity, but an acceptable explanation for soohyun's behavior and thought process is presented in the later chapters. you won't get to that point if you're stuck before the 60s tho.

it's hard to read because a human being's deepest, most rawest thoughts are brought to the surface, which calls for an unsightly and strange first-time reading experience. and we see this unadulterated form of insecurity arise and spiral in someone who doesn't have an outlet to address his inferiority complex. when soohyun finally has some space to address his own feelings, we see that his outlook changes rather easily. but during high school, it's like he's barely managing to keep his boat afloat, which is why he is obsessed with standing above eunsung. He wants to be recognized and acknowledged for his efforts.

on another note, I think the reason why soohyun's obsession with eunsung's downfall is so odd is because of the way it's portrayed. I think most humans will quietly grumble and take slight jabs at others who tend to excel. most people will take the easy route and only insult others when it's convenient for them. This is more realistic and relatable to many people. This is a more "normal" or "expected" behavior from the average person. However, when you look at soohyun, mofo is relishing in the idea of watching eunsung suffer to an extreme. It's like he would take a shower in eunsung's tears. This portrayal of a schadenfreude is not realistic and therefore not an experience or emotion that the average reader can relate to, which is why it's an alienating experience to read about the internal turmoil going on in soohyun's head lmfao. I'm p sure the people who really really really are obsessed with the misfortune of others are a very rare case. Later, we find out that it's a half truth; the idea of wanting to be acknowledged is misinterpreted as wanting eunsung to fail. That's because if you can't have the former, then the latter is the easier option to covet. And we see it as the story comes to an end: soohyun gets eunsung's attention AND love to which he realizes he was foolish for focusing on the wrong outlook this entire time.

im ngl tho, I had a hard time understanding how thought a went to thought b and, thus, influenced the tidal wave of emotions sweeping through soohyun's core. I feel like the logic was lost in translation or the author just couldn't communicate their thought process very well. but after rereading a couple of times, I came up with the analysis above. Just fucking read it and be done with it tho. It's quite good.
