As a big fan of these series, it hurts to see people think that the translation is behind when it reality the anime isn't based off of the manga. There's a light novel and 2 manga adaptations. The anime follows this adaptation, however, since this hasn't gone far, now it relies on the actual light novel while using this artstyle and aspects of the other adaption. So no, this translation is not behind, and if it is, its usually by a chapter or two compared to the raws.

IS WHAT I WOULD SAY IF I WAS A NEWGEN!!
Did Jaekung or however yoy spell his name suffer? Yes, he did. Does it excuse his actions? NO. Im not sure why so many people online have said "oh I never hated him anyway" "he's so cute, he deserves better" ETC. Just because somebody has gone through abuse does not mean they get a pass for doing it to others. Does this backstory explain his actions? Not yet imo, but so far it might, But does it excuse it? No!!
I think its more around the beginning middle, but it fits so well with this toxic relationship
I now remember it was the part where each of the character pairings eat heart with black ooze
