I've read the first couple of chapters again and now I feel bad for Jian yi because I had forgotten that in the future, Zheng xi and he are going to be separated for a long time and after they reunite Zheng Xi is going to treat him really coldly compared to how he is acting towards him now... I mean in one of the "future" chapter he said, "this guy was my best friend but he disappeared and I don't really want to see him now". Plus he seems to want even less physical contact with him which is a bit sad since he seemed to finally be reciprocating Jian Yi's feeling... I guess Jian Yi going away might have hurt him so he doesn't want to go through this again but it's a bit sad since Jian Yi always appears as the most lonely one out of the two and the one who loves the other the most...
Omg wait which chapter is it? I totally forgot about this (〜￣△￣)〜
Chapter 45 is when he said this but in nearly all the chapters that shows the future he is acting really distant and cold with Jian Yi and doesn't want him to touch him at all and beating him up as soon as he gets too close to him (which he doesn't do anymore in the recent chapters so it's sad to see that he will act like that again in the future...)
honestly I wouldn’t dwell on it if I were you, you have to remember that when zhan zheng xi said “don't really want to see him NOW", the author showed a shot of jian yi grossly digging into his underpants LOL, hence him only saying it cause he was really grossed out at the moment aka the author used for humor considering the context of what was happening. there are many chapters there where you can also see zheng xi being caring, taking care of jian yi whose drunk, worrying he disappeared again when jian yi used his shower etc. hence showing he doesn’t want him actually gone and he does love him but it’s scary to put himself out there again and fully trust.
also the author wrote those chapters before she even had the story fleshed out in her head at the time, she didn’t even know where she was going with the story, if she would continue it etc. it was just a story of comedic gags to her at first with no real plotline. hence why their characters act differently from now, zheng xi was written a bit more tsundere and she clearly changed that along the way when she started taking her own story more seriously and now mo guan shan is the tsundere with more of those characteristics etc.
so zheng xi may act a bit stand offish / occ in those chapters than what he does now but only because she hadn’t know she was going to write their past and write how their characters personality truly was, currently she has clearly fleshed out how she wants her characters to be and act more now. however it also important to note she ignores some key parts in those beginning chapters, for example when jian yi first says he was kidnapped, it’s said in a very humorous way where it’s really hard to believe which ultimately doesn’t make sense considering zheng xi already knew about jian yi nearly getting kidnapped twice so far now that she has written their middle school days — my point in this is to say, there are clearly plot holes and that the author seems to ignore a bit of some of her writing in the past/those chapter cause logically it makes no sense as to why zheng xi wouldn’t believe him. so I wouldn’t be surprised if the author were to ignore more bits of those chapters. plus zheng xi was heartbroken when he left, so it’s natural he’d feel a bit betrayed being left, feeling extremely hurt over it but it’s not something that lasts long. he’s way too in love with jian yi to let that hurt last.
which is also shown where the author draws them in other future chapters that weren’t in the beginning chapter / stages of her writing, such as the chapter specials during christmas or valentine’s day, which are more recent chapters in the recent years that the author takes more seriously. zheng xi and jian yi are hanging out and doing just fine in the future. he’s not ‘cold’ to him, spoils jian yi, even gives him an indirect kiss etc. they’re clearly doing just fine. and those are future chapters. not to mention the author has drawn many future illustrations of them officially together where they are french kissing and being sexually intimate. they’ll be just fine in the end. :)
That's very true. I guess re-reading the beginning of this story kinda made me anxious and I forgot about the most recent "in the future" chapters, I will try to find them again to see them being all lovey-dovey with each other haha
And yeah, that was one thing I was wondering about, if the author was conscious of the differences between how she had first portrayed the characters and how they are acting now and if she decided to just ignore her "first" chapters and continue with how she is picturing the characters now or if the story is going to change and will lead to the characters acting that way with each other without it seeming ooc... I really hope it's the former haha!
Thank you for your long reply, I was really unsure of how I should think about them since they are my favorite pair from this webtoon and your reply really helped me! (≧∀≦)
*insert "It's been 84 years" meme here* （/TДT)/
Am I the only one who wishes we could see the main couple more? Don't get me wrong I love all the characters but it seems like we barely see them anymore and I kinda miss seeing them interact with each other...
I do wish we could see more of them, but He Tian + Red is just so cute, I don't even mind who they focus on.
Me too. It was supposed to be THEIR story but they went from main characters to side characters with barely any content.I don't have anything against He Tian x Mo, but I wish the author would give them their own chapter sometime soon.
Just like in this chapter, Xi seemed to have something on his mind and Jian Yi was about to say/do something before they got interrupted. But pretty sure next chapter will be Mo's reaction...
Yeah that's exactly how I feel and I was a bit frustrated to see that once again they were interrupted and that it was going to be about He Tian and Mo again (even if I do love them of course).
I've read the whole story in French and let me tell you, the ending is extremely disappointing in my opinion, I don't know if the manga wasn't selling and the author was forced to end it abruptly but reading the ending made me disappointed in the fact that I spent money on buying the previous volume... Of course, I'm sure others might enjoy it but I still want to warn people that the ending will probably not at all be what you expect it to be.
Shitttt...what did I just get myself into...
Yeah... The whole story was amazing but the last half of the final volume was really really bad imo. Kinda destroyed the whole story and characters and I was really disappointed when I read it. If someone is interested I can give you spoilers about what happened.
spoilers pls ;^;
Okay so *SPOILERS* basically at the end of the final battle a lot of people had died but everything was finally finished and they should have ended it like that, with people overcoming it and working together to rebuild the world (and therefore granting Im's wish to live a normal life in the present world). But instead they decided to create a sort of "new reality" and erased everything that had happened and the gods stopped interfering with humanity so Im was sent back to the past after spending one last day at school with everyone and then everyone forgot about everything and lived their life normally (and the ones who had died were all alive again). So, in my opinion, it kinda destroyed the whole story because now it's like nothing happened, the main characters don't remember each other and even their whole story was erased since in the "new world" they never had to fight demons or anything like that...
Well dame...that sucks ass
Surprisingly it actually didn’t sound so bad, not very common or popular that’s for sure, reminded me of how Cirque du Soleil ended where everyone lived , no memories and kinda went back starting point
*Cirque du Freak / Darren Shan
That's rather sad given it had so much potential and really wished this series to succeed.
Thank you so much for this new chapter! And aaaah we are finally going to see more of Gyoon and Jihye I can't wait!!(≧∀≦)
Does anyone know if this is translated anywhere and if the team that was translating it before has stopped doing it?
I just read ch.16B or (16,2)
Where? Plz send a link

enjoy :) <3
Thanks
I really hope that LiHuan is going to stop going after YuYang now. Let YuYang be the one to work for their relationship a bit instead of letting LiHuan always take the verbal and emotional abuse without saying nor doing anything.
I understand what it feels to be insecure about yourself, or your sexuality and how the world will see you BUT it is absolutely not a free pass to abuse someone who has only ever been honest to you and obviously loves you. Saying that he hated him was needlessly cruel and he needs to understand that. And no, just because LiHuan seems to know that he was lying doesn't excuse anything either because when YuYang said it, he thought that LiHuan would believe him. Yuyang needs to do better than that, I'm sure he can, he cannot stay that way because then their relationship would be hella unhealthy and they both deserve better. But right now, LiHuan is the one who deserves to treat himself better and not to accept to be treated like this, even if the one doing it is someone he loves...
LiHuan deserves a break, yeah
So does anyone knows if there is a translation team that plans on translating the new season? Or are we all cursed to never be able to read the sequel of this amazing story? （/TДT)/
Lets just all pray for good souls to come
Please buy those mangas if you can afford it, at least one, there is a whole sequel to this story and the only way for us to read it is to show Viz manga that there are people interested in it and to do that, we need to buy the manga - they are the ones who told us that when we asked them if they would ever buy the rights and translate the sequel. I know you have the whole translation for free right here so you might not want to do it but please, the sequel looks amazing and we really need to be able to read it too! So please, just buy the mangas if you can and try to tell others to do it too! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Do you know where I can buy them? The sequel/spin-off have a total of 8 volumes. I really...really wanted to buy the physical volumes. But the ebook one can also do
At least now she will know that he is taken and won't ever be interested in her like that lol
I just hope that she won't do something terrible like out them to everyone...
Except that absolutely what she'll do.
Yeah sadly that's also what I think... （/TДT)/
