this was my first cakeverse so i though all were this freaky with the bruises and bites and really lowkey wanting to kill the cake but i can't find more like this one :( can someone recommend? most forks hold themselves back too much so it becomes more about body fluids and licking but i wanted more cannibalism lol
as another comment said, i actually never thought the romance was annoying either. the female characters seen as potential interests don’t really seem to have enough narrative weight to affect the main character’s actions, nor enough emotional pull for him to seek them out. there aren’t any annoying blushing moments or ooc behavior just for the sake of romance, and the characters don’t feel shallow or forced into the story. sure, the male/female ratio among relevant side characters leans more towards “female,” but i don’t think it’s glaring enough to be bothersome. maybe it’s just that i never disliked her character and never really felt the situation was too romantic in the first place, but anyways… i’ve dropped plenty of stories because of romance plots (even ones that were well written, like in “sss-class suicidal hunter”) be cause i don't like main characters in love but here the romantic vibes are really mild. might drop later if it actually starts getting romantic tho…
There are romantic scenes here and there though between Hajin and the Troupe's leader, which first starts out as Hajin taming the entire Troupe with his housekeeping skills. However, it's mostly an action and drama packed series. We do however get side stories where it's 3 different alternative timelines with the other 3 female leads. The first one wasn't bad cause it was just Hajin's life as a mercenary and helping Rachel's dungeon exploration team.
the novel is so good why is the manhwa so mid… (not bad tho) it isn’t even just the new art style bro. the characters are all just so flat now and the plot is changing. even if the main point remains, what makes a story good is the little things… they’re rushing everything and skipping some memorable moments altogether damn. hope they don’t fuck with kiyeon’s and doom kiyoung/hyunsung’s arcs T-T
still reading to see illustrations of the characters i like but still, somehow kiyoung in the manhwa feels totally different? like, both are trash but in the novel he was my trash <3 he seemed way more likable and relatable(? not the word but anyways) whereas in the manhwa he feels like one of those generic trash characters from other stories.
anyways everyone should read the novel!
actually i read it in korean so i can't vouch for the quality of the translation but on this website there is the whole main story translated. if you want to pick up from the manhwa (don't recommend but you do you) i would at least read it from around the end of the revolution arc (around chapter 297) https://www.novelcool.com/chapter/Regressor-Instruction-Manual-Chapter-1/6674356/
not sure if my other reply disappeared or i just can't see it but anyways, i read it in korean so i can't really vouch for the quality of this translation but you can find the whole main story in this link ( https: //www .novelcool .com/chapter/Regressor-Instruction-Manual-Chapter-1/6674356/) (i put some spaces in case links like this one are not allowed OvO) anyways, i recommend starting from the start but if you wanna pick up from closer in the manhwa maybe try the ending of the revolution arc (chapter 297~)
i was curious to see how they’d adapt that scene from the novel (the one that was both a bit steamy and, well... cannibalistic?) but I guess it’s no surprise they skipped over all of that here
they even skipped over all of her pov and monologue haha kind of miss how she was "damn this guy is a 'master'" and he was like "i'm going to eat you" and she thinks it's in a sexual way but bro just literally eats a part of her
(ig it went something like this i cant remember that well since it's been a while since i've read it)
Same, I think it was a bit of missed opportunity, even if censored, they could have shown how sadistic and malicious he is since he made her feel true fear for the first time in her life despite her being unable to feel any pain.
Could have been fun to see how absolutely inhuman he looks while actually eating her lol. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
i read it in korean here https://booktoki468.com/novel/5745?stx=%EA%B4%B4%EB%A0%A5+%EB%82%9C%EC%8B%A0
but afaik you can find the mtl if you search it up










any novel reader can tell me if the novel is also this perverted?
As far as I remember, no melons or cheeks were mentioned in an excessive way. It focused way more on outfits and skirt lengths. The actual problems with the novel were the repetitive plots and all the nonsense filler. Waste of time [novel version]. This adaptation is much better [for story wise], it's just too much when it comes to fanservice.
Got it, thanks for telling me. :D Honestly I'd rather it be full of filler content than full of ridiculously huge boobs, overly sexualized outfits and panty shots, so I think I'll give the novel a try because I find the plot fun but I just can't with that bro;;
Same reason why I read the novel XD.
Anyways, the early arcs in the novel were nice and still fun to read, but after chapter 200+ it became repetitive. Dropped it at 300.
