Idk why my comment disappeared ig because I copy and paste from another section and thought I was spam anyway just incase there's confusion. The series are not cancelled. They're put on hault due to the rights not being under BWAT. This happen to Codename Anastasia and Under The Green Light. BWAT is currently trying to figure out how to proceed and only updated us why things have been slow.

Finally the official translation anyway was rereading and I'm noticed that the "love" between Ian and tj feels like it's built solely under limerence, mainly from tj side though. Loving/building a version different from how they actually are.
Jo as well in the beginning but that quickly changes because Jo sees Ian flaws but knows he still a good person deep down, Jo talks to Ian truthfully and honestly, he tells Ian he's broken, he does not romantize it, while tj does when he said "that's the look I like" while Ian was in guilt. Jo sees the real Ian without prejudice.
Tj created a version of Ian and tried hard to make Ian fall for him while not understanding the real Ian. Ian had genuinely fell in love with tj but he slowly is falling out of love, passion fading (Ian words) because he only loves the tj before the gang. Ian cling to the old version of tj and expected more once they got intimate but tj only focused on the legacy he wanted to build for himself.
You may say Ian isn't in love with Jo but I see he's just starting to but doesn't realize it because he's self destructive and when he's self destructive he goes to the one he knows who will punish him for it, tj. Ian thinks he deserves the worse so he follows tj who reminds him that's what he deserves.

Ch.1-7 so far it's good, feels like Felix is a double agent, the scene with Romani was suspicious but I'm disappointed he's not a power bottom (yet?) what a lost opportunity. But I do appreciate a uke with a dominant personality.
Edit: (CH.11) OOHHHHHH AM I WRONG?!?! HE BETYER BE A POWER BOTTOM.
Edit: (CH.12-14) like I said a lost opportunity.... story nice though I'm intrigued mainly with Felix, the seme is annoying not gonna lie lol but he's learning ig

"Ian keeps going back to tj"
Ian: walk in an alley minding his business
tj: finds Ian and drags him to the toilet and guides what he selfishly wants to do.
The only problem is Ian needs to take a stand against tj actions. That the only criticism as of now and how you say the oppsite of what actually happens dilutes the storytelling.
1. Ian did not go back to tj, he was found by tj. 2. Ian did not say his life is miserable without tj, he said tj leaving after the funeral (after Ian gave him a answer) made him feel miserable.
3. Ian did not imply pleasure in their sex, he implied it's only a familiar feeling, how their sex is always conditioned. That's it.
I feel like this fandom is just a bunch of surface level readers that ruin the story. Tj is rightfully hated. Jo is not. Half the shit tj has told Ian yall would burn Jo at the stake if he had said it. Cut the hypocrisy already and take off the rose tinted glasses when discussing what is actually happening between their words and actions.

TJ is really a piece ot shit thats for sure, but the way you are saying he "guide' Ian into sex doesnt seem right. You even add Ian needs to take a stand against TJ.
Ian is the one who keeps making the choice over and over again to be with TJ. And he is making that choice based on his feelings and no other influence as far as i know. So what Ian needs to do is make a choice : go back to TJ and be miserable OR move on.
In this chapter, Ian actually seemed pretty into it sexually. Atleast for the first half (up.until the penetration started). My guess is he loves both ML but slowly leaning more towards Jo.
Also, saying "ian keeps going bacl to TJ" is probably meant as him keep going back on his situationship with TJ, not him physically going back to TJ.

You misinterpreted what I meant by guide, my fault since it does seem worded weirdly. I didn't imply guide Ian INTO sex. I said guide Ian as in guide him into a PLACE to have sex because that what tj wants to do, but its not like we havent seen tj actually guide (coerced) ian before. The rest of your comment (minus the last paragraph) is a longer version of what I said/directed. I don't see the need to tell me.
Last part could be so but ig you haven't seen many of the comments saying Ian went back to tj directly. Still doesn't change the fact most of the time Ian doesn't go back but actually follows after being found by tj several times. Ian only went back once (from what we seen) and that was at the funeral which tj lost the opportunity after Ian finally (basically) gave an answer.

Thank you♡ I do appreciate when others like what I comment. It's very hard when the majority of readers, all sides, don't understand the context. I even get upset with Jo stans because every once in a while they act like tj stans when Ian enters his turmoil and self destructive state. This story is not meant for everyone esp if they refuse to accept Ian relationships with both tops.

And once again this chapter confirms nothing in their relationship changed and all that is holding it by a thread is sex. The only so called chemistry they have because outside sex they have no chemistry at all. But can I call this chemistry when Ian is visibly annoyed?

I don't doubt Ian miss him a bit but if he really, really did why didn't he respond to tj saying he missed Ian. Why did Ian initially push tj away. Right now Ian is angry and we already know he grew accustom to tj wants because tj never let's Ian have his way because tj does not listen to Ian. Even when Ian lets it happen, Ian facial expressions shows hints of uncomfortability. Like he has many times before with tj.

Hence the sex is used as communication. I don’t think it’s the norm for them to verbalise how they feel all the time, especially Ian. Maybe Ian was upset at TJ for being away, so this is also why I suspect they might not be endgame due to having to wait for the one he loves.
I believe that Ian’s love for TJ was strong back then, it’s still love but that spark is gone. It’s reasonable for that to be the case because it’s been a decade.
Having a feeling Ian might stay with tj after saying he doesn't want go back. He might help tj in response to the gang situation they're both in. I'm really curious what tj response would be though. I feel like tj would say he give up everything as well or something to say to have Ian side with him but in the end tj still wants revenge/continue his plan.
Edit: didnt realize it was updated day and I was giving tj the benefit of the doubt but it so much worse he can't sacrifice anything for Ian but expects Ian sacrifice for him. Their relationship is so awfully predictable.
