I caught up to the latest chapter of the novel and wow I'm a huge HajunxEden or EdenxHajun shipper. They so cute I can't.
And the plot got thicker and not as simple as I thought in the beginning too, but at the same time maybe not as malicious and aimless as I thought too.
The novel is so good I can't stop reading. Eden is just so funny lol. The characters (both MC and everyone around him) all have deep personality I felt like I'm actually reading about real people's life and realtionship.
One of the thing I love the most is how Eden went through a lot of process and time to understand his friends, and also letting them also trying to understand him. It's not an instant trust, not an instant affection. They went through many things together and become a very wholesome team. This is just a small small spoiler that I don't think is bad to know but they have come to call their team a family. I LOVE THEM
I'm officially one of the Daydreams now. I love each one of them.
Another huge spoiler for those interested, I just... need somewhere to vent my emotions while reading the novel. Don't read further if you don't want to know.

1. Seo Yehyun - damn I never thought the person who hates eden the most become the person who actually Eden can open up to the most, and since he is the oldest, Eden seeks relationship advice from him. Not hajun. He is not a simple character that only get his pride scraped by Eden. He works hard 10 times more than other people to make up for his lack of talent, to catch up to the group. He takes such a good care of his appearance and his group's appearance. He is also a very humble and observant person that knows each member's character nore than anyone. He still "discriminate" Eden though lol since Eden is kinda rude. (What I mean is that he is clearly much nicer to Jaehee the Maknae and Hajun and eveb Dobin lol. Since he is tom and jerry combi with eden) just like Eden discriminate everyone and exceptionally nice to Hajun lol.
2. Hajun - HE IS SO HARD TO READ. He is affectionate, caring, and soft spoken but at times he is also had his childish side that he hides from his members including Eden. Never have I thought the first member to actually had a fist fight with Eden is HAJUN. NOT YEHYUN. He is deeply hurt by kicks and that's the reason why he cut Eden off in the past, because eden is unconsciously helping the one that hurt hajun the most (Eden didn't know the person he helped is the villain behind all). Despite that he actually cared about Eden the most and thought him as his best friend.
The story between eden and Hajun is the most heart clenching for me. Because they both cared so much for each other yet theh both always seems to misunderstand each other. Their reconciliation is so wholesome and cute HUHUHUHU.
3. Ryu Jaehee - he is now a cute little hamster maknae but then he will become a huge, tallest maknae in the team LOL. Ryu Jaehee character is in fact the most interesting of all member to me (aside from Eden lol, he is the MC for a reason). He is clever, quickwitted, and INCREDIBLY KIND-that's why the team adores him so so much. He suffers from a bad family that tries to drag him dowm even though he supported them financially. Suffers from a hidden inferiority complex to the team member too. He looks up to Eden so much, as he consider Eden as his coolest older brother that's like a hero. I can't forget how he listed all member's good things and bad things where they all only had 1 or 2 bad and good things, yet when It comes to eden, he listed 10 bad things about his rude and nom-filtered personality but his good thing... is EVERYTHING aside from the bad thing eden had. PRECIOUS.... I adore him so much too. He is the only one who still constantly meeting eden after eden left the team before his regression, and the only one who never cuts contact with him until eden's death.
4. Dobin - he is literally the sunny, comedy relief, stupid but lucky hardcore otaku character. He might be my least favorite character in the team but I adores him so much too. He is strangely always on the spot for every fictional conclusion he had towards eden LOL. Like that Eden is possesed or regressed BAHAHA. The most interesting thing about dobin is where he is actually the one that is closest and witnessed the 30 years old, depressed and broken eden that even eden himself doesn't remember due to memory manipulation that the system put on eden. He accepted the broken eden that still had his old overly rude and irritating personality and cried when they part. And him being absolutely clueless about everything, and being the biggest coward in the team is just simply hilarious because he is the most similar to eden (bcuz they both stupid) yet he is also the most different to eden.
5. Yoon eden - holy. He is such a complex yet simplest character I have ever read. He is simple because he is very straightforward and honest. He hates what he hates and he likes what he likes. He is very blunt in everything and never filtered his thoughts before he was trained by the system and bis teammates lol. The reason why he is such a complex character is that his character development is INSANE. He really changed for the better. So so much better. He is actually, from the start a very kind hearted and naive person who is deeply affectionate towards his friends. TRULY. Yet, he is so strong and many things, mentally, verbally, and physically. He is a very charming person that has a natural explosive star quality that attracts many people. The reason he turned out rude and very irritating is because no one around him ever minded his way of talking and thinking before Reve. The people before reve are genuinely his friends that got along well with him and knows his kindness so they flocks around him. But Reve started with business-like-relationship where they gather for business. (That's why only Hajun can tolerate him in the beginning). Now that he knows he is wrong, he tried to change, is trying his best to help his member and his underground rapper hyung, genuinely from his heart.
The past 30 years old Yoon Eden was broken... very badly and died young. I think that's why the system cuts his memory at 28 years old. And wow. I cried every time I saw a glimpse of broken Eden.
The story has so much twist and getting more complicated as the time goes. Eden's path is not so smooth. So far he went through a slump twice for not being able to produce any song, he fights, cries, become insomniac for not able to sleep for days, seeking advice, and searching for a way to overcome his slump. That's why this novel is so good, and I couldn't help but adore Eden and the team so much

OMG another novel fan!!! I also loooove the novel. I love how much Eden has grow, how he has changed his relationship with the team members and his family for the better. The process is the best part looking into a completely clueless person who really doesn't understand why people are reacting the way they do and why can't the be upfront like him to understand and sympathize with them and their emotion, to understand what he did wrong in the past life and that in some cases he wasn't wrong(his and Hajun's bad ending in the previous time life wasn't only his fault). I cried so much and fall in love with all the members. The plot is so we'll develop that I keep getting curious about everything(especially the system)
I'm for rambling I'm just really happy to read about your thoughts on the novel and the characters (≧∀≦)

Broken Eden...
...he is 30. He gave up composing. He can no longer write music. He become addicted to sleeping pills thay che no longer ate them with water, he just throws the pills into his mouth and chew it as if he swallows with water, he will immediately throws them up again. He lost contact with everyone, he was accused of causing someone's (KJ) death. He is also a super heavy smoker.
Dobin was so shocked when he heard Eden no longer writes music because music was everything to him. Eden was absolutely broken.

Ok!!
This one here is the first 100 chapter with good translation

And this is the link of the raw novel with MTL

OMG ANOTHER NOVEL FANSSSSS AAAAAAAAA.
YES. I'm so invested because the system seems to have a lot more mystery, but not in am exactly bad way. I'm curious if the system was really made to save Eden by some kind of trigger or not. I'm also very curious on how he will reach 30M fans (currently still 10M iirc??)
I also cried when I saw them fight and reconcile, when I saw 30 y.o broken eden and eden's funeral
PLEASE RAMBLE MORE I'm so happy I can finally talk to someone about this

From what I have understood so far the system that Eden has was created only for Eden and to save Eden from the Risk system that the unnameable bastard keep dropping at Eden in every time line. That's why Eden life was so fucked in most time lines and it seems Eden wasn't the only one to turned back time. It seems that it happened with Seo Yehyun. There was this chapter we're Yehyun tried to convince Eden to use one of his songs from the previous time line for their second album but Eden was really broken at that time and only laughed at Yehyun and told him it was useless and then after Yehyun stormed out of the room Eden was watching the risk system window that only allow him to choose a bad option. I still analice that.
That's why our family system(as Eden call it

Nah im telling you for real Lu-ge's love and self control are on another level.

In the futute, he actually went into rut once and Duan Jiayan come to accompany him so he feel better, but Lu-ge did nothing but hug him until his mother come to pick him up. Only HUG. Even Shen Chilie (Duan Jiayan's best friend from another class if you remember) applauded him for staying sane because usually in the case of alpha's rut, the omega's fate is, 1) getting fxxked is normal and 2) didn't get bitten is lucky. He went from being cautious of Lu-ge to immediate approval lol.
The novel is so good btw. Trust.

1. Eden's realtionship with other members got SO MUCH BETTER and mainly his interaction with the oldest and youngest member is SO CUTE. Not to mention how Eden is so biased towards Hajun is very VERY CUTE.
For example :
Our maknae become so tall, taller than Eden but still looks up to him like the coolest hyung.
Hajun and Eden had a fight but the way they made up in the end of their fight is so wholesome Hajun and eden is so close... Eden is so biased that he will immediately listen to Hajun's words even though he dismissed other's, also whener he called Hajun "Jun-ah~~" or praising every single thing Hajun did (eden especially LOVE Hajun's voice)
Eden and Yehyun's relationship become MUCH better and it become an awkward but wholesome relationship.
Dobin also think of him as a good and kind hyung but at the chapter I read, Eden's still trying to close their gap lol
2. So many interesting and comedic episode on their activities. The one I found most interesting is whenever they are cooking, and at haunted house LOL (Everyone is a scaredy cat but Eden is so brave you can even call him dense lol. He doesn't have a single fear towards ghost that even the real ghost they encountered later is scared of him BAHAHA ), also the personality reversal punishment (where eden ended up becoming so soft spoken whenever he wanted to curse, and hugging the member when he wants to kick them because of the system's punishment, then the members thought he was possessed by ghost lol) and Eden's military training solo variety where he won the ACE title (LMAO). And many more. I LAUGHED A LOT.
3. Eden just become cuter and cuter as we know him better. When every misunderstanding are cleared he started to think more about his members and you can really feel his kindness. The fact that he has always been liked by everyone close to him before his team is because he is such a kind person despite having a bad temper and bad language. Now that Eden has been "forced" to use kinder words, and to talk about his feelings towards the member while listening to their advice, the members also understand the kindness inside him
4. The member's personalities also felt very much alive the more you follow the story. Like the fact Ryu Jaehee (maknae) is not just a cute maknae, or the fact that Hajun cares about what Eden thought about him more than he shows, Yehyun getting better at his dance and being a self-care freak, Dobin being a super Otaku lol
If you have time and is interested, READ THE NOVEL. Just type the title + novel and you will find them. The first 100 chapter has an ongoing proper translation but the rest are MTL. But Korean MTL is still much better than Chinese's so it was still understandable except the pronouns (because apparently koreans doesnt use a lot of pronouns often, just based on context) lol. You just have to use your brain a bit to think about the prounouns.

CUZ THEY'RE SO CUTEEEE. I need to tell this to many actually.
My personal favourite is Eden and Hajun. They're practically my bias now. I honestly can't get enough of how cute Eden is with Hajun cuz Eden himself admits that he is one of Hajun's fan and Hajun is fully aware of it too. CUTIES. Like, THE GAP?
When recording :
Eden with others : you punk!! Why cant you do this and that???! Again. Again. AGAIN.
Eden with Hajun : *nodding and smiling* yes, just like that Jun-ah~ lets go one more time?
Eden when ohers is telling Eden off : what do you know you punk??!
Eden when Hajun is telling him off : oh, okay. I guess you're always right Jun-ah.

It would be so beautiful if a manhwa titled "The Man Who Can't Taste" really ended with him being able to taste again and they really go around to eat all the food he has eaten with Jiho, along with his favorite cake, which at that time will not be made by his mother, but by Jiho instead as a way to show his love to Inwoo.

THATS SO CUTE. I guess the reason why the manhwa is so cute and wholesome is because the author herself is so cute too I'm so glad that many readers (though I guess most are koreans) expresses their love to the manhwa and then the author saw the loves they deserves!! Support the original.and legal ones too guys... it's worth it...

The comment section of this manga won't calm down even for an update lol. A lot of people who didn't even read or can't read somehow comes inside and wishing death on everyone that called yuu or tsubaki cute like they are the defender of justice when they're just another stupid psychopath that wishing death on people just because the readers thinks they're CUTE. And those readers aren't even a pedophile lol.
Typical hypocrite who has too much time on their lives lol. Even the user name of that spesific commenter sounds as dumb as they can be.

blud you can't be that blind, one - commenter called yuu cute two- they wanted tsubaki to dick down yuu three - they propositioned the suicide themselves. They didn't JUST THOUGHT THEY WERE CUTE, they wanted them to HAVE SEX, I have no idea how your mind wired that that's an okay thing to say.
You cannot be doing selective reading, halfwit. I think you also have too much time on your hands too to be dedicating a paragraph to me, I'm almost touched. But you're not my type bro.

Oh I even tried to find what you mean but u missed the part where they said they "WANT TSUBAKI TO HURRY AND GROW UP" they wants to see that in GROWN UP version because they KNEW they would be a couple anyway. I'm not blind, you guys are judging everything into pedophile when it's most probably not. If they are a pedophilia they would comment "I wish they would have sex already". But thay person DIDN'T. I think ur the blind one, or you just cannot read.

Most people nowadays especially like you dont even understand what pedophila even means. If the child has grown up into adult bodies, pedophilia would lose all the interest they had for the said "child" because pedophilia only takes interest in CHILDREN BODY. PRE-PUBESCENT OR EARLY PUBESCENT. Pedophilia is a SEXUAL DISORDER. They do not have interest or get excited with grown up/adult body figure. It this fact that fact to understand..?

also i don't know what weed you smoking but the only comment i specifically goaded to un-alive themselves is this particular comment
"The comments are full of retards ok anyway
Beyond January 24, 2025 2:44 pm
YUU IS SO CUTE OUGJHJMKWG. If Tsubaki doesn't top him I'm shooting myself mark my words"
Idk where the fuck u got that growing up, can't even count the number of people I've argued here but it's the same fucking tune.

Dumbfuck yapped in 3 paras yet made 0 sense, no one's arguing with people who wants the kid to grow up, they're shitting on this weird ass manga and those who are romanticising this shit and apparently want them to fuck ,also one more thing the title has shota in it and all the author's works are either shotacon or lolicon,do you know what does that mean?? The kid ain't gon grow up for shii,also you gotta be next level of retarded if you still think this ain't pedophilia there's literally a panel of the kid biting and kissing the guy and the guy getting all flustered about it and you finding it normal?! Clown!

Well I speak 4 language and english is my third language. But well, some.english speakers really do think english is everything lol. I do think I speak and write english quite well despite me not conversing in english daily.
There IS indeed some weird people reading, I cannot say not at all but NOT ALL OF THEM are like that and you guys are just generalizing people into the bad ways. And what, telling people to go die because of a fixtion and you supported that? I think u are retarded enough to not understand how disgusting that was too.

Okay, that was my mistake, I thought you are talking about another comments that's why I searched a different one from what ur commenting on. English is my third language.
But you really think that's a valid reason to tell people to go and die? Just because they prefer something that u don't in their reads??? Over a FUCKING fiction?? You are just like those disgusting netizens that tells idols to go die and when they did commit suicide you would feel no remorse like that was not ur responsibility lmao. Grow up, bro. That person ur fighting against is a SA victim and ur still arguing shits with her and making her felt sick. U never know how your words can affect people in a worst possible way.
There are weirdos who likes different things than I am. I myself never viewed Tsubaki in sexual way when I read this and I think im definitely not alone in this. As long as they didn't commit anything, I won't judge that exact person for their taste. Especially when the person understand how fiction and reality differs. But, oh yeah, I can judge a person like you that immediately tells people to unalive themselves over a stupid short one sentence comment. As I said before, you're acting as if you are a defender of justice when you are not. You're not even morally correct in general lol. You hurt that person who is only tryinb to enjoy their evening lol. They are REAL person. Where's ur moral?
Do I dislike the way you think? Yes. Will I tell you to die? No, I won't. Even the person ur arguing with never told you to die or something, they even tried to educate you using those articles lol. And bet you don't have enough empathy to read them since you sleep 8 hours a day.

U said you are also a victim of SA, so why won't you even try to understand that there a re a lot of victims that have a different outcome than you do?
I never got assulted myself but my close friend once got SA'ed too and told me all of her pain and changes. Her body become those that cannot help but seek for some pleasure release. She also become very interested in porn.
Is she a bad person? No. She is indeed peculiar and wild, but not bad. Because her parents are judging her for being real, and how her friends used to call her weird and disgusting (not even "unalive" lol but still) do you know how much she tried to un-alive herself? Thankfully she was able to be open with me.

Because a mere COMMENT toward a REAL person could actually turn bad and you never knew about it. It's A REAL person vs. A FICTIONAL character. Which one should I defend? Use ur moral and if you are not mentally retarded, THINK. Manga does NOT equal to reality.
I'm sensitive about this because someone I'm close to used to be mentally unstable 4 years ago and reading one comment or chat telling her to die is enough to make her whole world crumble. One comment lead to many and she really become affected by them to the point where she commited suicide. Thankfully she survived and moved to another country to avoid that. U never know if the person ur commenting on is stable.or not, or how deep they will take those word. From what I read, the person u guys are commenting on took them pretty hard.

And well, im getting tired writing all of those things... feel free to reply back or anything, but I won't respond anymore. U guys are hypocrite who defends fictional characters and a hypocrite who told person you don't even know about to unalive themselves over a single sentence... and you guys need to grow up and touch some grass. Call the ambulance for yourself to fix your "retarded" brain. My opinion won't change.

And well its up to you and userthinksyouredumb to try to understand or not but after I read the person you guys told tl unalive themselves I tried seeking more about whether she is a pedophile or not. And the result says. No. There is a difference between Pedophile OCD and real pedophilia. It's opening my eyes too. And pedophile OCD are not a criminals as long as they kept their fantasies to themselves.

Actually I love the visual here because Jesse is so pretty but I kinda imagined him to scrape both of the og mc guilt with sad puppy look... and its a shame that they removed the scene where eva is calling Jesse sly lol.
Also they skipped the part where Christellr answered the Cardinal's question about Cedrics by describing prince jesse too (calling him very kind and all) making both the cardinal and her majesty stunned like "are you... talking about cedric..?"
And the part when Jesse answered eva's question... it's true that its not that different but the words used in novel are much more beautiful in my opinion
In novel it was like this :
“But Lord Montague, are you not angry at Sir Geens? Are you by chance…… What they call a pushover?”
“Excuse me?”
“I know that he had his circumstances. But he tricked the three of you many times. If it was me, I would be so upset that I would never be able to trust him again.”
The child’s expression was sullen. I was silent for a moment. It definitely could seem that way.
I debated how to explain my actions before deciding to be honest.
I have lived longer than Eva but life was always difficult.
“Sir Geens didn’t have a normal chance.”
“……”
“It is true that he lied to us. However, we don’t know what would have happened if his sick son wasn’t being held hostage by the Prince Consort and Sir Geens had a chance to treat us honorably. He was deprived of his chance to do so from the beginning.”
“……”
“I just thought that Sir Geens deserved a chance to start again from the same starting point. That is all.”
I smiled bitterly as I looked at the child.
Eva looked at me as if she was a bit shocked before falling deep into thought.
--------
I love how the novel used the word "deserved a chance to start again from the same starting point" instead of just simplifying them with "deserve a second chance". Because this sentence will lead to future conversation with Eva, the moment Eva finally understand what Jesse is talking about "the same starting point".
It may be trivial but... it's one of the sentence that Jesse said that left a feep impression on me so I'm a bit disappointed...
