The character models remind me sm of Duke and the Knight That Hated Him im still so bummed that the artist dropped it but this story feels like a spiritual successor at least

tbh It's up in the air, some ppl say the author posted that they were dropping it, some say it was the artist(s) that dropped it, and some people are still holding out hope. But the raws haven't been updated either while other webtoons from the same studio have been updated as usual so personally I'd say it's safe to assume it's been cancelled :/ I rly hope I'm wrong tho
Tinfoil hat prediction — After a growth spurt/lifestyle transformation; the guy mc bullied in middle school for being gay transfers to their school seeking revenge against the mc, becomes a challenger to ML's 'top delinquent' title, and is the mystery 3rd guy on the official cover/banner art
I also think he will be transferred one day, but I don't think he will seek revenge, I think he will be a third rival in love, seeing how Iltak's character is developing, it is clear that he is feeling more and more guilty and is identifying with the boy he bullied, so I think he will try to be forgiven, who knows, maybe it is precisely when Iltak will try to be forgiven that he will become the third rival
I agree he would be a love interest and mc would seek forgiveness but I think without revenge he wouldn't have a plausible reason to transfer into a school known for it's delinquency. Esp since he was preciously transferred away due to bullying.
I imagine he would initially go after mc under the guise of mending their relationship which leads to him feeling conflicted after recognising mc's remorse/growth solidifying his role as the 3rd ML.
idk the author is known to be on their freak shit so throwing in a love-torn sadistic ML would be par for the course
You got a point, maybe you're right about the third rival being a sadist too hahaha, the other two are already opposites, and another opposite would be kinda funny, we have the one who tries to be impassive and cold (failing), the one who bullies his crush "I don't know why I do this" and then proceeds to save a cigarette given to him by Iltak a year before
so a sadist would be good and would be very funny, I think you got it right
lmaoo watch the author throw me and my theory off a cliff and make the 3rd guy on the cover someone completely unrelated
I have had this theory since I found out that Iltak bullied a boy, if we are actually wrong I would be disappointed honestly, but I am 100% sure of it
I hope we're right that poor boy deserves closure from what mc put him thru!
I feel bad for him tho, I mean, if we are right he will get rejected again in the future
