Seriously? After a month's hiatus, that's all we get?
Nothing literally happened. I'm so disappointed...
Exactly. I expected the chapter to be long after a months break but it’s still as short as ever!
The author did not take a break to make the chapters longer but to create more of them so she has a little advance on the weekly schedule. Actually, the shortest the chapters, the more it means she's in a tight spot for her deadlines. I would honestly rather have an update every 10 days (3 times a month) than the current short chapters with barely any progress and a dragged story...
Yes the author said this season is taking a lot longer than expected, well duh of course each chapter is so short with like only one interaction. Plus she takes breaks all the time. I just hope after this break she actually is on schedule like she’s supposed to be
Easy to say not so easy to do! She's most likely already killing herself with the current schedule and all the efforts she puts in her high quality drawings. The storyline and the plot are suffering from this. She kinda lost a bit her track. I am sure she needs more than a one month break to fix this but she can't because of her assignments. If I work at Lezhin I would change the terms of the contract so she will have more time for each chapter rather than the current intense weekly schedule. It does not serve the quality of the projects. I am sure the fans will understand and at the end they will even be happy with the result.
She should’ve known that getting into this job wasn’t easy and required a weekly schedule. If she couldn’t do it then she wouldn’t have applied for the job. A job is still a job and you can’t just take breaks all the time whenever you want, in the real world your boss would just fire you plain and simple. Every job is hard, but you have to keep doing what you have to do
We're not talking about a 9-5 office job here. This is art. She is an artist. There would be no art at all if artists were constrained to normal job hours. Of course it remains a job with a contract and as a professional she's doing her best to respect the terms. Yet at the end of the day, you can't sacrifice the wellness of your talented artist for the sake of a contract. POTN is the number 1 BL story on Lezhin. They are the ones who need her more than she needs them at this point. She even has 3X more followers on twitter than Lezhin page. A good manager would understand there's need for an adjustment here. Many other good BL on Lezhin have different schedule. And the most popular ones like "Legs that won't walk" went for more than a 4 months hiatus because the artist was burnout. Why reaching this point when things could be handled differently at the beginning? That being said, it could be her choice to keep posting on a weekly schedule so I don't really know! I am just a bit saddened by the decrease of the plot narrative quality over the seasons. I blame the tight weekly schedule for that but there could be other reasons...
Welcome to the real world, every job is stressful. There is no such thing as an easy job, everybody gets stressed at some point. If anything I would say she has it easier than most us because apparently she can take a week off work however many times she wants without consequence. Most of us can’t do that or else we would be unemployed.
This has been bugging me for some time. Everyone keeps calling NK a 'boy'. Does that mean he's like 16? (⊙…⊙ )
no, i think in asia, you're still considered pretty young in your early 20's.
It looked like SH was apologizing when he raised NK's hand to his forehead. You could tell he felt guilty as he rubbed NK's bruises too. The fact that he let Heena stay at NK's side also speaks volumes. It makes me feel like SH is not a total lost cause. I'm not saying this or a mere apology can make up for his abuse, very little if anything can, but at least it's good to see that he can show remorse and that he's not totally rotten. I only hope that he and NK will have a proper conversation soon and that he'll actually admit he was wrong and apologize somehow. I'm not saying he must say the words, because he's a noble after all and apologizing to a lowborn would be considered quite a humiliating act, but to show it some way.
While I would like NK to go with Heena to the kisaeng house and get away from this awful affair that would make him an easy target for both Min and Nameless. Now that Min has revealed Ji-Hwa's actions there is no question that SH will try to retaliate somehow and as a result Namless will likely think NK spilled the beans. NK is safest with SH now that he finally knows the truth. It's sad and ironic, but it is what it is.
I'm really looking forward to the Special Story chapter next week. I'm really curious to see what lowborn-SH will do. I hope he's less of a douchebag.
At least someone can have a proper reflexion about this story.
... sorry I press to fast the button "post" (my bad).
You speak the truth and I want to thank you because I can't stand all the coment I read. People forget this is another area during which you can't act like in our century. I mean, I read someone recommend a therapy to Seungho... like you can at that time ! ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
No worries, it happens, thanks for commenting and agreeing with me.
Yes, I feel the same way. This story takes place roughly somewhere around the 18th century (judging by Min's comment about the Qing dynasty) and things were very different then, not just in Korea but all over the world. You just can't apply the ethics, morality and standards of our time on past events. It's ridiculous how people can't seem to understand that.
Exactly !
I couldn't give a rat's ass about this guy's tale of woe. Seriously. Who cares? It doesn't excuse his behavior in the slightest. He's a scumbag through and through.
Um... isn't Asher engaged? Σ( ￣□￣||)
EXACTLY what I was thinking
No, he’s not really engaged. The most suitable candidate was Isis for the position of the Crown Princess, so everyone assumed that she’s going to be bethroted to Asher. In other words, their supposed engagement is in process and not official yet, but Asher really hates Isis so he’s trying to defeat the Aristocratic Party so he can avoid the marriage.
So erm it's been awhile since I read this but who is Isis? (ಥ_ಥ)
Mielle's fiance's (the duke of fredrick dude) sister.
And whooboy doesn't he hate her *giggles*
Seriously, I've had enough of SH's abuse. Poor Na-Kyum. SH's really treating NK as a prostitute now and it breaks my heart. I don't know why the author introduced NK's noona. It's not like she'll be able to help him.
That's my OTP, okay. Anyone who opposes it can take a hike. NK deserves the best.
So we'll have to wait another week for the next chapter and then we're probably gonna have to wait several weeks after that for the other chapters (I somehow doubt Byeonduck will be posting during the holidays). Don't get me wrong, I feel for the author and understand she needs time off to improve her health, it's just that I'm impatient af and this story has turned me into an anxious mess.
I thought it uploaded today?
The author is going on a hiatus until December 18
I just checked the official website and last year she posted during the holidays as well, so unless she hasn't personal issues I don't think she'll stop in the next weeks...
maybe if people hadn't bombarded the author with hateful twitter comments, we would have gotten an upload this week.
people need to get over the fact that THEY dont write the story, the author does
Omg was she really attacked for that?? I already knew some yaoi's fandoms are toxic but wow people seriously need to get a life
Where's Kim? Last time we saw him he spoke up to Seungho about how poorly he had been treating NK and how much he resembled his father and this episode we didn't get to see him at all. I'm a bit worried...
