Stopped reading. Author is a racist bigot. Esp with everything happening in the world today, this is shit I need not consume.
You likely read the wrong translation, whoever translated it went completely off base with what actually happened.
If you read the official translation it shows the reason why the actual proposal didn’t work out, which is that another company had alr done a similar concept and the company was being accused of plagiarism. Whoever the unofficial translators were are actually insane for that wildly racist view of Islam, I myself was hella shocked seeing the difference
Studio Lico’s original publication was the islamophobic headlines. It was later retconned due to negative coverage and controversy amidst announcements that ‘Marry My Husband’ was getting a k-drama live action. The islamophobic headline was based off a real event that was carried out by the Taliban where they held south korean missionaries hostage, but the webtoon framed Muslims as the ones carrying it out. The differences between the old korean version and the old england version are not much different, other than that the english version used more extreme language. Please hold authors responsible for their racism instead of a translator who was likely just doing their job.
old english* autocorrect
Please note I used "author" in my comment and not "translator".
Thank you for this explanation. Its a pity as the story itself was pretty decent and overall I had enjoyed reading it.
i’m aware, i was correcting the other commenter. i hope my explanation helped tho
For real, the official English version changed the part completely because the author was so fucking racist and islamophobic. It sucks because this story is really good.
Yes it did and much appreciated.
Damn I wasn’t aware of that I remember dropping the story before because of the wildly racist headlines thinking the author did that when they were first uploading it here, I ended up coming back and realizing the official translation was changed and the translator was wrong. Thanks for letting me know, this was a good story but defo ruined for me, i can’t possibly support and author who says shit like that and only fixes their mistake for PR
yeah no worries, it can be confusing. it’s pretty common for manhwas to drop in random racist plot lines (true education for example)
Wow I just started reading it and now I am so thrown off, what randomness has this got to do with this fiction story damn I can't believe the author put such a thing in this. I am shocked!!!
I felt Kanda's pain, but I understood Ueno's PTSD with his past relationship. I need like, 5 more chapters now of them dating and having smexy times to make up for making me cry.
All mature chapters uploaded the day after my birthday. My life is complete aaaaaaa sob
I already expected the rape in an omegaverse esp with a Yakuza seme. But overall, its a pretty decent enemies to lovers story. Art is pretty good. Oh yes, I also want Jin's dad Kyousuke coz he is so.damn.hot!!
This is the rare shoujo where I honestly love the FL to bits. Vulnerable yet strong, so in love yet level headed. The story flow was paced just right, the emotions so well portrayed in just 4 chapters. I dont understand why this isnt rated higher. It deserves all the stars.
I really like this story and I love JJ and Leo's relationship. And what I liked is how both their faults and the non comm in the relationship is shown in full display.
But lets all agree - what JJ did to him in the garage is assault. Leo may have agreed to it, but its still rough SA and when he pushed Leo's face to the cement floor, that was really hard to see. You dont do that to people you love. Ever. Glad JJ felt remorse.
The story plot reads like its written on Wattpad, or one of those romance app 700 chapter novels where anything and everything bad happens to the lead but you keep reading even tho its crap lmao
One of the best opposites attract stories, trope done so well here, their chemistry is top tier I swear. We need a volume 2 of them in college exploring adulthood, and more breadth and depth to their growing relationship. Love this lots, its so underrated.
Overall liked the story, as well as on their past life. But the seme is sus and rape didnt sit well with me
