I've read the final part of the novel, but didn't read the beginning, so the story is VERY different form the manwha, like Ilay isn't as nice as he's starting to be now in the manwha, they didn'thave this whole "i like you moment" and taeui kissing ilay , the last smut scene in the novel was the one where taeui was looking at the window and ilay was taking a bath in taeui's room, frow what i remember at least. Aswering the questions
There is a love triangle only on the begnning, after taeui learn that he has to be bottom with xinlu, he didn't much of a relationship with xinlu, and from the moment ilay kidnap taeui, he's only with him, even tho xinlu tries his best
Taeui brother does not have someone
And no one assaults taeui, i think in the whole story, the only person taeui had sex with was ilay
I did not read the special episodes, i only know-how that after the storie end, xinlu and gable end up together somehow
And i not sure abt the version of the novel i read, cause it was so difficult to find an english version, and english is not my first language , but i found it on ao3

There’s actually 3 sets of novels. The first series is what the comic is covering right now. Apparently all novels will be adapted.
1- There is no love triangle.
2- in the next few chapters, Tae is going to get kidnapped and find his brother. The guy keeping his brother is gonna become his love interest. So we’ll meet him soon.
3- No, but there is one last time Ilay will f*ck up. It happens at the end of this series.
When you’re reading the comic, do you also think about how a particular scene played out in the novel?
I just caught up with the comic so it’s been fun comparing them.
