it's really the little things that sets the novel apart from the manhwa. when aurelie tests if jesse's lying in the novel, she immediately gets up and apologizes to him with a sad look on her face because she didn't doubt him but had to check if he knew the secret behind the holy stones anyway (and jesse completely understands and reassures her). frédérique also jokes and says she's like a villain. it's a great bonding moment with jesse's in-laws
also if anyone's confused, the empress refers to sir johann as "tessa" in this chapter which means "imperial instructor" - it's his official title, idk why they didn't translate it.
i feel so sorry for the mc. groomed by a powerful, older man and imprinted on forcefully when he was just a kid. exploited for his position as heir for years, but still so powerless. then, when someone comes along swearing to set him free, he has ulterior motives all along. and the poor mc falls in love, bc why wouldn't he? he's never known true love or had the autonomy to make his own decisions before. the ml is basically his savior and although he was not an outward asshole like the duke, he was manipulating him and stringing him forward for his own benefit all along. and at this point in the story, even after the mc frees himself from the shackles of the alpha that forced himself on him, he's back in the same position he was at the start: powerless & exploited. except this time, he's in love, too. :(
UPDATE AND WE R FINALLY GONNA GET AN INTERACTION WITH TELEPATHY-KUN??? OR IS THE AUTHOR BAITING ME FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME
the twsb manhwa is getting axed unfortunately. the last chapter of s2 here will be the last chapter of the manhwa... no idea why and it doesn't seem like they're going to renew it rn.
HOWEVER, i highly encourage to read the novel. the illustrator also put out a statement saying they wish everyone who liked the story continues with the novel because you'll fall in love with it.
the novel is currently being translated on eatapplepies. if anyone wants any spoilers or to figure out which chapter they should start from, reach out to me i'm like kim dokja to twsa when it comes to this novel.
Wait huh??? I loved this manhwa! Thanks for informing though, I can continue the novel at least!
What ?? Wdym
what chap is 82 in the novel?
+1
ty!!
i am once again here begging everyone to read the novel.... if u read this and felt like it was good but missing something, read the novel. it has better characterization, better pacing, goes into more detail, and has way more interactions between the characters. the worldbuilding is more discussed, the /implied/ romance is more intense!!! this is great as well but the novel is so good that it pales in comparison!!
Where can i read? I also want to know who mc end up with, how he got in there and his past
Also which chap is it now
you can read it on eatapplepies . com, its around chapter 87 right now (the phantom of the pas de trois arc). its not completely translated yet but it has a lot of chapters (and you can find mtl of more online as well)
OMGG THANK UUUU
god idk where to start with this series. i can't even begin to think about how to put how this work made me feel into words... so im just gonna ramble. holy shit the ending was just SO GOOD. the way eunyung and haejoon found each other and then found so many more people... this story about an angry, abused child and a depressed, reactive one finding home in each other and in a place they once hated was so fantastic from start to finish. the way the characters are all mind-blowingly realistic and interesting with their own backgrounds, plotlines, and development, the way all loose ends are slowly tied over the course of this story, the way the ending had me sobbing but still felt so fulfilling... the message about haejoon letting go really got to me but i can't put it into practice for them!! i need more!!!! i need side stories with haejoon in university and eunyung making his way in life and juwan and hara and minju and marie and ILL MISS THEM ALL SO MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAA
also the news about an anime is amazing but it can't top this manhwa i fear. the art direction and subtle symbolism is so hard to miss unless you take each panel in slowly and carefully.
THANK YOU WANAN AND WHATAFRUIT
The way you deliver this beautifully, I agree with all the things you said
this was an amazing read so i scoured the internet for this https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1006859/half-of-me/
even tho it's machine translated, it's still a good read once u get into it and fills the hole this manhwa left behind
there's even smut :p
God will bless you and you’ll never lack any good thing you life, Ms. Dirt.
Why's this so funny
LMFAOOOOO thank u madman batman may u also prosper
what chapter is 62 which part is it in the novel?
can the author pls stop edging me and let these two interact properly already
also why is mr mind reader so pretty
thank u for giving the mc the screentime he deserves now please give him a name
but if he gets a name then he won't be a npc anymore
jesse looks gorgeous in riester style clothing + i love christelle's outfit as well + we finally hear sérénité for the first time in the manhwa, the title cedric chose for him so lovingly + the necklace that will one day be referred to as the most beautiful jewelry in the imperial palace found its way to its owner ;-; it's pretty sad that the manhwa is ending soon right when things start picking up pace in the novel
WAIT WDYM ITS ENDING?!
Wait!!! CEDRIC CHOSE THAT TITLE????!!!!!
the manhwa got discontinued idk naver had some problem :(
yes, cedric chose the title serenite for jesse :) it's such a sweet title too esp when you think about how he didn't want anything related to angel
I knew it was cedrik that choose it
Wth
is the novel bl?
Nope, it's not completed so far but from what i know, it's pretty much platonic till the latest chapters but they're all pretty close to one another
the novel is completed but not the translation, they remain platonic, but they are like a trouple
It issss?? I thought it had still ongoing chapters that's actually good, thanks for the info.
