I hate the freaking placeholder. Who tf made that a thing? Its purpose is apparently to let people know not to upload over them, but why does it even matter? Just upload yours regardless of anyone uploading over you. If the version you uploaded is higher quality, people will still read it. I know I would wait for a better version over a shitty mtl one. The notif that comes with the placeholder is so annoying. You think it's a new chapter, but nope, it's a damn placeholder.
Edit: If anyone can explain to me how useful a placeholder chapter is, I'll gladly listen. I may not change my mind about how annoying it is to get a notif of it though.
Edit 2: I still find placeholder chapters annoying, but I now understand its purpose with the context provided.
Bruh no way ur serious
Yes I'm serious. I'm not just talking abt the uploader in this story, in other stories I've read in mangago there was also someone who did the placeholder thing. Quality > speed, at least for me. And before someone says it, I'm not being ungrateful. We're all parasites here, don't pretend to have the higher moral ground. I just don't understand the purpose of the placeholder aside from wanting to declare possessiveness that only they can upload. If anyone can explain to me how useful a placeholder chapter is, I'll gladly listen. I may not change my mind about how annoying it is to get a notif of it though.
I get what you mean, but it does serve a purpose. Unfortunately in the past 2 years or so, bots have taken to uploading shit translations without showing that they're not officials or done by a good scanlation team. And what those bots do is upload over and over and over again, sending out multiple notifications to subscribers
They will literally take the chapter the uploaded down just to upload it back up with the same crap quality. That is far more annoying than a single placeholder by the team uploading officials or good scans.
Oh wow, there are bots now? I suppose they're the ones uploading the mtl ones when it's anonymous? In that case, I can see why the placeholder makes sense. But I don't think I've noticed the instance you said where the bots take down the chapter in better quality uploaded by a user, then the bot reuploads that chapter but in shit quality, if I understood what you said correctly. I usually just see 2-3 kinds of chapter uploaded, one that's kinda crappy, one in better quality from a scanlation, and one that's official. Is what you said that common? It may just not happen to the ones I'm reading ig. I still find placeholder chapters annoying, but I understand its purpose with the context you provided. Thank you for explaining why some people do it. Happy holidays!
I agree with you. It's suck and annoying. Like I was waiting then a notification comes then a feel of disappointment come and greets you
I think you misunderstood one thing: bots don't take down other uploaders' chapters. I meant the bots take down the chapter they just uploaded and then re-upload the same chapter, giving multiple notifications for the same crap chapter. Lol
Oohhhh okay I get it now. But yeah I also haven't experienced that with any of stories I'm subbed to.
Luuuucky. Lol. I havent had it in a while since the teams have started posting the notices but it was pretty prominent in the beginning of the year
All the "baby where" comments got me thinking of the seagulls in Nemo going "mine mine mine" hahahaha
Spoiler from the novel below
From what I remember of the novel, there was an extra chapter in Sunghyun's POV (ML's lil bro) that showed that he actually had an unrequited love with the MC. It was after his marriage to the ML and already pregnant iirc, and the MC went to Sunghyun's college to pick him up for some reason I forgot, maybe just to hang out cuz they're friends. MC was like, "damn look at all the people looking at you, you must be so popular huh!" And mentally Sunghyun thought that it wasn't just him they were looking at, but also the MC, who looked positively glowing and gorgeous. Sunghyun looked back to the MC's experiences, from his attempted suicide when they first met to his miscarriage, and felt a mix of sadness and happiness. Sad because the person he loved went through such misery, but happy they met and happy that MC's better now, even if it's not with him. He's a kind brother really
I remember that chapter because that's the only chap I read from the novel lmao, but do correct me if I'm wrong
The Saimoris have abused Miyo her whole life. I never thought there'd be anyone worse until we get introduced to Miyo's maternal family, the Usubas. What the actual fuck were they saying back there, that they're better than Kudo? That it was Kudo's fault she got kidnapped??
Biiiiiitch be for real. Kudo didn't know about the abuse before getting to know his new fiance, Miyo. And once he did, he did his best to let her recover. He got revenge for her. Both of them grew to care for each other, and eventually felt that they wanted to start a family together, and only with each other, no other love interest will sway them.
And what did the Usubas do while Miyo was being abused? NOTHING. From the way they talked, they knew how she was being treated in that household. And yet they did jackshit. I'm also still pissed at her grandfather, what bullshit apology was that? "I let ur mom get married to a son of a bitch outsider bc we were going bankrupt, but I love her actually and I love you too. Sorry I didn't rescue you from your abusive household." That was such a half hearted bow too!!!! Dafuq!!!!!! She deserves a full bow, not a seated bow!!!! To hell with old age, you owe her your damn life old man!
And her cousin is being kinda creepy.
Also their clan rule that literally says "incest only" I'm surprised we haven't been shown any signs of inbreeding from the Usubas we've seen so far (cousin and grandpa).
Kinda annoyed at Miyo's indecisiveness, but just a little. Girlie's too traumatized to function normally. You do you babe. At least she's got the determination to learn how to control her power now and hopefully at the end she gets the determination to go back to Kudo on her own, even if she has to fo it by force.
And Kudo... I got nothing to say that his older sister hasn't already said. Hope you get back safe from the fight. No amnesia arc pls istg
I think it's because they're such powerful magic users that it prevents any genetic defects. Kinda like House Targaryen and stuff with dragon blood.
I honestly really enjoyed this manga. It's slice of life.... for demons. For us humans it'll count as action/fantasy no? Haha. Story-wise I don't think anything "exciting" happened much (I don't mean the fight scenes). I felt like it was cut short, like it was just cut at the part where the main characters' development were starting to change. The side characters' plot felt more 'finished', like Taberu and the Hero.
I do like how it ended tho. It was just a normal day in the Suzuki family. It also showed what I thought the whole story lacked; a show of affection between the parents. They acted like parents throughout the manga, but I was kinda sad they didn't have much scenes just as husband and wife, you know what I mean? And the last chapter showed that even though we don't see it, they really are partners in love. Yes Ossan is just doing something mundane like washing the dishes. But it's his attitude about it that makes it sweet. It's the way that he did not announce his help. He noticed his wife needed help doing chores so he did so. The wife didn't say anything, but I felt that her one eye really expressed her love for him. Or I'm delusional, whatever. XD
You cannot just end it here pls don't do this to me gimme side stories
I second this opinion!
╥﹏╥
Hmmm..... I don't know how to express it well, but the translation doesn't feel good. I didn't notice any misspellings or whatever, it's readable, but like, it's a little better than mtl.
In any case, I'm glad it got picked up because it seems like a good story.
Even if she and the mc, her ex-manager, are at odds right now, I don't think that Eunha girl is a bad person. There's probably some misunderstandings and frustrations unsaid between them. She even warned him abt the bad guy's ploy. I find the CEO of Blue One more likely to be a villain, bc why tf would you want a thorough background check on the guy who said he's already cut off ties with Eunha, that they are walking different paths, therefore he has no interest in stealing her away? Jelous for no reason damn
That bitch better not be the female lead. He explicitly said before that he doesn't want to read fortunes, yet she keeps pushing him to do so. I'm gonna be so disappointed if she doesn't have a major character change because I can already see her abusing the mc's fortune telling powers the way her attitude currently is.
I really like supernatural stories like these. People tend to be afraid of ghosts, but ghosts were living human beings too. There was this danmei novel I read before, They All Say I Encountered a Ghost, where the MC accepts a mysterious job where he 'unknowingly' ends up around ghosts. A lot of comedy, a lot of tears (at least for me), and a splash of romance (the BL is very minimal, but I don't mind, I really like the epilogue, tho the last chap of the main story felt kinda rushed). It could be a miss for some, but it was a real hit to me. I don't wanna spoil much, but I truly felt like something inside of me changed after I read it. I found that it was written beautifully, the eng translation easy to read, and the life lessons hit hard. Like this story, Underworld Restaurant, the biggest takeaway lesson there is "Do good." Gaaaahhhh, I kinda wanna reread that story again!
Another supernatural danmei I've read had karma as the main theme, I don't remember the title atm but I also enjoyed reading it as well.
Aye i read a danmei too something similar to this manhwa 'My restaurant is famous all over the world'
Its really good too!!!
The first danmei sounds interesting, where can I read this?!
If I can't have these hot single men, they can end up together. Let me be delusional about this. Thank you. Happy New Year everybody
