I don’t understand. I just finished binge-reading the novel version on NovelUpdates, and I don’t understand. How in the hell is this writing lackluster?! Even looking at the raw version, it’s very mtl-able. Where the hell are people getting the idea that the novel is garbage while the manhwa is the savior?! Seeing as I started the novel where episode 48 ended, I guess it could be an early novel issue? Regardless, don’t worry, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the translation of the novel. It’s even up to chapter 251, while episode 48 is only equitable to about the same in the novel. Long story short, THERE IS MORE HOMEN. FOLLOW THE STORY OF HOMEN INTO THE NOVEL

You have to make an account to be able to click on the chapters, but: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-player-hides-his-past/ .
The account is well worth 2 minutes, there’s tons of other translated Chinese, Korean, and Japanese novels as well.

Came back to check on this manhua and its completely empty in the comment section even though it has 200+ chappies and the comments have been up for a while. Tbf, it is kind of a forgettable manhua (sans the art, cause his hair is fire); I would have forgotten its existence if not for the bookmark feature (which is my love, my passion, my pride and my joy (not that i made it, cause I sure as hell did not))

Judging by the sheer volume of people rooting for Cedric here (me included obviously, bbgirl is goals), I’m hoping the thirstiness for the sole green flag is being reflected in the Korean audience. (=・ω・=) We will have some hope of 1st male lead if such is the case. ONWARD, CEDRIC-SUPPORTING CRUSADERS! TO OUR HOLY LAND WE GO! (Meaning second male lead syndrome orz ╥﹏╥ We all know it ain’t gonna happen. It’s gonna be one of the manipulative b*tches ╥﹏╥)

I think the reason more people don’t know about/read this is that the assume that it’s reverse harem and/or that it’s a very niche plant-based story. Think about it, the very first villainess novel/manga must have been niche too until it gained popularity later in life. But now it’s all over the place
