Hahahah, then I probably the only one who likes the 2nd couple better ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I always suffer from 2nd lead syndrome anyway

Good! I actually almost dropped this manhwa several times in S1 and pushed myself to finish, now I'm hyped for 2nd couple yet I thought this wud focus on them.. Turns out it looks like it'd be 50:50 with 1nd couple..
I usually like tsundere type but sitong is just downright confusing for me, with the way he pined for Zichen for so long and yet after getting the confirmation their feelings are mutual in the middle of S1 he's still very passive and just let Zichen doing all the pursuing. I hope 2nd couple has better communication and colorful dynamic

Anyone read the raws knows if this couple would be even more slowburn than the 1st couple or not? Sitong-Zichen is really adorable tho the slowburn pace was at times a bit confusing to me and makes me want to tear my hair out sometimes

Oh you're the translator! Thanks so much for your hardwork in picking this up and keeping the chinese names despites translating from korean raws, that must've been a hassle but for me already accustomed to their prev names I really appreciate your effort :D
Could you please elaborate how they burn hotter and then shimmering, like maybe they kiss and all yet deny they date or sth?
With xiao nan child abuse, this couple seems to be more intriguing for me. I sometimes get frustrated with Sitong push and pull ngl, like Zichen ends up pursuing after him all the time lol eventho Sitong was the one who fell first
But even in S2 I already feel a lot of sexual tension from these new couple and didn't know they will have s2 dedicated for them which I'm very happy about.
What other projects do you translate? I tried searching up ur tumblr but I use app and somehow the name doesn't show up

Late response, sorry! When their story starts it's clear that the second couple love each other deeply so there is less of that frustrating push and pull of them figuring out their own feelings and having to prove it to one another like the first couple. They kiss pretty early on and continue to be very intimate but won't put a label on it for their own hang ups. We get a lot of inner monologue from Lu Nan and it is all very epic just how much he loves Xin Yang. It should feel more frustrating that they won't just be together but the reasons are pretty noble of wanting to be better because they think the person they love deserve more. Xin Yang is god like in his patience though he does get super jealous despite only ever displaying the aloofness. Lu Nan is completely oblivious to all of it though because he just loves him so much that it doesn't even register and that becomes one of their biggest struggles. Through all of it though they love each other so, so much so those problems don't feel super significant. And yessss, so much sexual tension.
I'm currently translating Chaotic Desire (Confusion Desire on Mangago bc I didn't initially post it here and published it with the wrong title just to see how quickly aggregated mangabots work. Answer: really fucking quick). It's nothing like this story lol.
And my page is unlisted on Tumblr bc the app is pretty limiting for custom pages. Viewing scansolo.tumblr.com from your mobile browser makes for a much better experience.
Thanks again for the support! I hope you like the new chapter. :)

Thank you for picking this up! Yes please I really love 2nd couple as well! They seem more intriguing
Btw I tried search your tumblr scansolo but says it can't be found

might be an unlisted tumblr. https://scansolo.tumblr.com/

"I've never once been ashamed of my work"
Hmm seems a bit contradictory, if he weren't ashamed, why did he get all covered up in front of camera? Might as well bare his face as well...
Lots of porn actors don't conceal their faces tho

Except he didn't yell at him for finding out. He was angry because he also makes good money but he thought that he was being looked down on for HOW he makes it. "You're just some guy that jacked off to my show" = you're the one giving me your money you're not special to me. Remember he actually really admired the author so he's upset that he thinks he's being looked down on. Being judged is annoying and I'd be upset if I felt that way too, doesn't mean he's ashamed.

Agreed, this is what I'm trying to convey, that reaction was rooted from insecurity, he ofc comparing his job to the respected author consciously or not, and felt inferior and judged, eventho the neighbor said nothing to mock him..
that is at the end of the day, ashamed. Even his own words is condescending.
And that's valid and logical, it's not a job he can talk upfront to anyone after all

I really love all the pairings and their stories here!!! My fav is perhaps Hiiragi and Shizu cus they seemed lowkey at first and turned out to be very cool both for the band and the touching childhood bond.
But I'm curious, does anyone else feel like Haruki-Akihiko story still needs lots of developments? I'm really not satisfied with how the Given movie ending, mainly cuz Haruki had pining and hurt for too long and the ending is just like that. I felt like they still need to talk about a lot of things and for Aki to spoil him some more lol. But even the manga also doesn't focus on them anymore.
Also felt the same Uenoyama and Mafuyu, I wish Mafuyu can tell Uecchi about his story with Yuki as closure for his feelings
To the translator:
