What is up with these people already concluding it is bad? Have you completely read the novel? It has 4.8 rating in Ridibooks and when I finished it is actually A VERY GOOD READ.
It was very shaky at first but then everything became significantly better when the events regarding the entering of SS-Class Dungeon started. Around 90s chapter in novel, I think. I admit that it was quite boring at first half but it gets better until the end.
Regarding the ML, I hated him to my guts before the SS-Class Dungeon arc started. He is very sly. A complete bastard. But God! When Jin Hyo-Seop ran away and when he realized his feelings, his character turned 360 degrees. This story will tackle how obsession and love are different things. And how LOVE is what actually Andante felt, not just obsession unlike other MLs. But yeah, I think he's still somehow obsessed, just has discipline. He is willing to give up everything for Jin Hyo-Seop. Willing to go berserk, willing to give the 1st guild ranking, willing to never enter dungeon again as MC don't like danger, etc. If you will ask me, this belongs to my top 10 groveling MLs where the ML actually suffered. A LOT. He was even planning to move to Argentina, an uninhabited place, just to never see Jin Hyo-Seop again and let him live freely and happily. Anyway, the bad thing about him is that he doesn't care for the world nor the safety of the citizens. In people's fantasy, "a villain who will sacrifice the world for his lover."
As for Jin Hyo-Seop, his character is very frustrating for some. Not for me. His coward and timid attitude will be validated by his experience with an esper who forcibly imprinted on him. This is not his ex-lover but someone who took advantage of his guilt for not offering 'deep guiding' to his older brother (the guild leader of the guild Hyo-Seop first belong to which is called BETEL). He was 14 that time when this bastard esper asked him for such guiding. But at the very end, Jin Hyo-Seop had the courage to finally do things his way and what he wanted, with Andante (ML) respecting it.
SUMMARY SPOILERS
•MC Jin Hyo-Seop joined Noapi Guild
•All Noapi guild members are S-Class
•Andante refuses guiding due to the fact that no other guides can heal him completely, thus, the scars. He also has a bad condition called "Reverse/Forced Guiding," something bad for guides.
•MC said that he doesn't think the Noapi guild members are bad, which made them speechless and warm up to him.
•When Andante and Jin Hyo-seop first slept together, Andante realized how amazing Hyo-seop's abilities are. So, when they went back to the guild office, he introduced MC as his lover, something he decided on his own. MC at the time didn't even know. LOL. Guild members know that Andante is only doing this to keep MC by their side as MC is the only one who can perfectly guide him.
•Chaos started when it is said in a gathering of guilds that several stone slabs from dungeons all over the world are missing and Shin Haechang, the speaker, put a bounty of 10 billion won to whoever will catch the criminals.
•Shin Haechang knows deep inside that it is Andante's guild they are looking for.
•An SS-Class Dungeon was predicted to appear again. It first appeared 60/70 years ago, second time is 10 years ago.
•Andante told MC that they are collecting the stone slabs because they will use it to forcibly predict/open the SS-Class Dungeon again even if it is only supposed to appear again 50/60 later. However, the guild members will be old by then and not much powerful.
•No one is able to defeat SS-Class Dungeon 60/70 years causing huge damage. 10 years ago, it appeared again and everyone thought it will be defeated because most capable S-Class Espers gathered and entered the dungeon lead by 'Owen,' once in a century "SS-Class esper." However, it failed again. Only some Espers survived and the ones who survived all went berserk not long after. Hope was lost when Owen, the greatest hero, also perished.
•Everyone is afraid to face the SS-Class Dungeon that appeared today, considering the berserk spree that happened and how much S-Class Espers are lost from each country 10 years ago. Much more that Owen is already gone.
•When a world meeting was conducted regarding how to deal with SS-Class Dungeon, Andante, who is uninvited, interfered using only his audio and said that he is the underworld leader who took over the underworld 9 years ago. As everyone is afraid to face the dungeon this time, he made an offer that he, the unknown underworld leader, with his members will enter the SS-Class Dungeon first and be the sacrifice.
•Shin Haechang, the one representing Korea at the meeting, was mad as he knows that it is his rival Andante speaking. However, when he met Andante after the meeting, he changed his mind about not supporting him, as Andante said that he recognized Shin Haechang as his 'fan.' Andante requested that they allow them to hide their identities to public.
•SS-class dungeon finally opened and the fight inside the dungeon was broadcast to selected people only. MC doesn't belong to those selected people so he is very anxious. Noapi members with cloaks and masks, entered. They first battled with monsters that look like themselves. Second are various monsters and finally, the boss. During the second and final phase of fighting, the fight is suddenly broadcasted live on TV with now everyone around the world witnessing it.
•Everyone can now see how the Noapi members fight, with all of their masks taken off except for Andante, whose mask was not scratched at all.
•While fighting the boss, members are already at disadvantage except for Coda and Andante. Surprisingly, Coda is visibly super angry, unlike his usual calm self, and everyone knows that he is about to go berserk due to his golden eyes. Andante calmed him down and left the fight to Andante.
•The tides are on Andante and everyone was on awe as they realized Andante has two abilities. Usually, Espers have only one. Near the end of fight, Andante got stabbed in stomach with the the claws but he knows that the monsters' weakness is it's shell so he focused on that, tearing each shell parts of the monster one by one. During this, the monster tried to withdraw his claws from Andante's stomach and touched his mask. As the monster do this, the last shell, placed on its head, shattered with Andante's strength. Commonly, in order to defeat a boss, you have to rip its heart out. However, Andante gently picked up the monster and embraced it.
•Not long after, the shattered shell on monsters head peeled off. The unshelled monster changed into a human. Thin shoulders, long hair, and a slender body. Andante's hand affectionately stroked the man's hair. At the same time, Andante's mask fell off and he smiled at the person he is holding in a way that MC had never seen before. And then, Coda suddenly ran towards them followed by the other members who shouted "Ano/No" and then bowed their heads. Coda cried and hugged the man in his arms. (I personally cried here. It was such a beautiful moment. Goosebumps.)
•At that moment, everyone realized the same one, thing. 10 years ago, Owen's guide and the only guide of the LEOM Guild that used to be the number one in the world. Ano/No short for Anora. His codename PIANO. A SS-class guide that is first to enter a dungeon when the SS-Class Dungeon appeared 10 years ago and sacrificed himself to protect the Espers.
•NOAPI=PIANO. Jin Hyo-Seop realized this like everyone else. Now he understands the hostility of Cindy's split personality (the Noapi member who always quiet). The creation of the guild is solely for the existence of Ano. He thought to himself that he could never take his place and that is why he could never receive their affection and trust for each other. Remember that they hid a lot of things from Jin Hyoseop (Aww. My baby)
•Ano was Coda's lover.
•Leader Andante is SS-rank Owen. He has two abilities just like him and uses debuff power.
Anyway, this is all for the first half if anyone ever read this. Let me know if you need further spoilers or questions.
This argument/fight was bound to happen. Going back to the start of their relationship, you have a teen alpha who suddenly found his fated mate. Seems great? Not really. Looking back, you have a TEENAGER finding his fated mate after being insecure about his 2nd gender for years. Until then, Hazuki hadn't been all into playing the role of an alpha bc of his past experiences and suddenly, finding his fated mate, he wants to fill that protective and reliable alpha role. He pushed himself to mature (and it's been explicitly said so by Naoto as well that he(N) feels that Hazuki is more mature than him despite his age). Hazuki wanted to be someone who protected and cared for his new family, pushing himself to do his best. That's great and all, but he was young and didn't have the same experiences as Naoto so he was always playing a catch up game in terms of experience. His lack of experience and perceived capabilities - especially when Minato came along - really showed compared to Naoto and Hazuki had to deal with those insecurities that came with feeling like he cannot protect or help. We saw him hide and withdraw because he felt that he was being a bad partner and parent by being unable to even hold his baby. They were able to temporarily patch up (not fix entirely) the issue then because Naoto got through Hazuki's insecurities by explaining his previous lack of knowledge and own insecurities about being a single teen parent. Great, but Hazuki still struggles with this gap between him and Naoto. After that they seem fine, and they are okay because they can communicate and help each other out. However, Minato is growing and he's reached the age where he is being a little rebel. Hazuki isn't prepared, they now also have a third child to care for, and that gap is apparent again. Adding to this insecurity, is the fact that Hazuki is not trusting Naoto by doubting if Naoto would stay with him if he found someone more reliable. Naoto of course wouldn't but Hazuki believes that his perceived lack of ability to help Naoto will push him away and that Naoto would find it easy to move on from him. At this moment, things are made worse bc Otoha (if I remember his name right) is good with kids - one of the biggest failings for Hazuki. Hazuki needs to read books and blogs and learn from other parents, but this guy? He appears to be a natural with kids. What Hazuki doesn't see however, is that Otoha most likely has had years of experience with kids, so of course he knows a lot. However, Hazuki's insecurities and his jealousy and his lowering confidence in himself is building up. And in this new chapter we see him blow up - which is something new because he's tried to hide when he feels insecure before - at hearing Naoto compliment someone else on something he has been struggling with. It's not good and I get what he was trying to say, but he did not say anything good. He ended up victim blaming, which of course hurt Naoto because 1) it was a terrible traumatic time for him and 2) Naoto most likely feels betrayed by Hazuki who once told him that he loved him for who he was and would not look down on him for being an Omega. Naoto has been told repeatedly that omega are at fault for whatever happens to them, but Hazuki was different and based on his reaction, Naoto feels a deep anger towards Hazuki now because he used those feelings and experiences against him. I know they're going to work through this, but it is also true that this was bound to happen. Hazuki isn't a bad partner or parent, he always puts his family first and is an active parent. He's never left Naoto to deal with the kids alone on purpose and he takes on doing chores and childcare actively. Naoto, and others, are amazed by how hard Hazuki works to take care of his family while learning to take over his mother's company. In this chapter, Naoto and Shizuku are excited to prepare a surprise birthday for him and there are no negative comments about him napping because they believe he deserves to rest. Naoto was probably even bragging about how good Hazuki is to him. Everyone sees it but Hazuki. He wakes up and immediately scolds himself for napping when he was only supposed to put Aoi to sleep, he worries about not giving Naoto or his mother in law resting time. He believes he should be able to give others rest when he himself needs it, and he sees it as a failure not to do so. He's just really insecure, and honestly I get that. He feels he isn't living up to his role and that he is not being a good parent or partner because of it, when he is already a great parent and partner. He's young, younger than Naoto, so of course he doesn't have all the experience and knowledge that Naoto does and he isn't giving himself grace. He is seeing himself as a failure but at the same time he doesn't want to admit it and he's burst out now, saying the wrong things and taking his frustration of himself out on Naoto.
Poor Shizuku, she left with her parents happily together and will return to them having fought. She's definitely going to be hurt by that. I just hope this fight doesn't last too long, my heart can't take it. ╥﹏╥
Ugh, the squeal that I let out throughout chapter 106. The moment that Catherine and Marceau were introduced in the main story I was entranced and their love story has shown me why. Their relationship is so sweet and their story so fleshed out, that they could have had their own spin-off series instead of just side stories
Just finished chapter 2 and I have so many thoughts. Firstly, I appreciate how the author makes each character have different personalities and each couple have a different story. For example, it’s interesting that Kai was educated by home schooling, Daato wasn’t educated formally while this omega (Beryl) is going to get a formal education.
Secondly, I have so many theories about why Shaia is behaving this way. There must be an underlying explanation especially after reading chapter 8 of Peiti Migon where Daato scolds the twins for their treatment of Theo. So I’m interested in the way the story will play out.
Thirdly, I wonder if Kai and Lurad’s child will make an eventual appearance in the story. I really want to see how the cousins interact with each other. I’m also intrigued in what their personality will be- purely Kai, purely Lurad, a mix of the 2 or something completely different?
As you can probably tell, I’m super invested in the story and willing to give Shaia the benefit of the doubt but he better make it up to Beryl tenfolds when the truth comes out- I want him to grovel!

Currently blushing after reading chapter 2. Is Kazuhisa in love with Alex? And vice versa because Alex’s comment to Akira in chapter 1 came across quite strongly. Also the revelation from Eiko, and Kazuhisa’s mind being blown had me cracking up.
But wow, this story has come a long way, I remember reading the first few volumes some time ago and then dropping it, only to discover that there are now around 6/7 volumes
I'm either gone in an instant or here 'til the bitter end,
I'lI never know

It’s me again. Though the pages are out of order, the initial premise is interesting. But doesn’t this suggest that they aren’t a soul bond like the previous couples, how intriguing
Squealing, screaming, crying that this is being translated. Thank you so much translator-san!
I’m so excited to follow this story. I was day 1 with their parent’s story and now I’m day 1 with their child(ren)’s
