i personally loved the novel. the only problem is the lack of good translations unu if you find the whole novel with a good translation i think it will be easy to read :) it's not a difficult story so it doesn't get boring

this website has pretty good translations imo if you wanna reread!
it's just that i heard the rape scenes are way longer and more detailed in the novel and im not sure i wanna read that but ig i can just skip it
oh yeah, they're def more detailed. it was a better experience than reading the manhwa tho, imo the novel puts more emphasis on how zhenya's actions are wrong and how taekjoo feels as the victim, rather than romanticizing it. and thanks for the link!!
im too lazy to read the novel but the slow updates are killing me
