Story cut short because the magazine it was published in stopped publication. The concepts were pretty interesting to me but because it was cut short suddenly it’s by no way a satisfying ending so I wouldn’t recommend reading and getting invested

Nevermind this was a continuation

Cold sores caused by herpes can look very similar to ones caused by stress and lack of sleep. Please get an actual diagnosis from a healthcare professional if you notice cold sores around your mouth because if they were just caused by the latter reason there’s no reason to think your life is over just because they showed up

I’m glad jurei actually gave loulan a hefty punishment instead of letting her off the hook bc what she did was severe, even if jurei managed to make the most of her circumstances. Sex work is a honest job and I respect those who do it because it’s definitely not easy so make no mistake being banished to a brothel is not the punishment but the fact she will have to work really hard the rest of her life. Her grace to her since it was also a product of her circumstances is that she will be rewarded if she works hard (moving up the hierarchy and receiving more protection if needed)
While this isn’t the first time this translation group has made weird mistakes, most notably pronoun mixups (e.g. ML referring to the FL with he/him in one occasion but she/her everywhere else), it’s particularly egregious in this story especially in the last few chapters to the point if you’re not carefully following the plot it makes it a little confusing!
I’m not usually a stickler for minor translation mistakes in fan translations because they’re done and provided for free (significantly poor TLs are another story I won’t get into) but when this group charges money after a certain number of chapters yet besides the way it reads like MTL/AI sometimes, there isn’t even a quality checker for simple mistakes like this if it isn’t even translated by a real person puts a bad taste in my mouth. People shouldn’t have to put in the effort to read between the lines of what you meant if payment is required not just an option to support like every other group does
I agree. Isn't very nice and your reading is no longer pure enjoyment if you have to decode the language.
