I’m gonna be a little annoying here, but please bear with me during this little french lesson (for those interested. If you’re not interest, please don’t mind me)

So, some of the french was a little- awkward? (Tbh it might really just be me. I tend to cringe when reading romance stuff in my native language) there’s also a few mistakes which makes sense since i imagine the author might have used a translator like google translate.

Attendre: For exemple “attendre” is the infinitive form for wait, instead it should’ve been “Attend” for it to be correct. In english, it would be the equivalent of saying “to wait” instead of “wait.” So basically it should be “Attend”

Ta Gémissement: “Your moans” was also incorrectly written in french, as the author used “ta gémissement.” French is a little tricky to conjugate (and i say this as a native french speaker) since french has many pronouns for “your”: Feminine form, masculine form and plural form. “Gémissement” (which is moan), is a masculine word, and it is also most likely meant to be used in plural in that context since she is talking about her partner’s moans, rather than the word in it’s ensemble (a moan would be “un gémissement” which is singular and masculine form). In that case, the author should’ve used “tes gémissements” which is the plural form for “your” (tes = gender neutral plural pronoun, while “ta” is the feminine and singular form for “your”). So basically it should be “tes gémissements”

Me rend si dure: Also the sentence “me rend si dure” is both a little awkward as well as incorrect, since it technically means “makes me so hard” but incorrectly conjugated (i’ll get to how it’s awkward after explaining the correct conjugation). Again, french can be tricky so I’ll try to explain as best as i can, but the verb “rend”, actually should’ve been “rendent”. Since the girl is talking about her partner’s moans being the object of what makes her hard, the verb “rendre” (“rendre” is “rend” in it’s infinitive form) should be conjugated in plural form (“rend” being the singular form, while “rendent” is the plural form.) following that, the sentence in french should be “me rendent si dure”.

Me rendent si dure: Now the translator translated it to “makes me so excited”, which is french would me “me rendent si excité” which could also be a little less awkward by saying “m’excite tellement” (though the direct translation would be “excites me so much”, the french version would 100% sound more natural and less awkward.) The sentence “me rendent si dure” isn’t technically incorrect, it just definitely doesn’t sound as “natural” as “makes me so hard” would in english. Which is why to make it sound smoother i’d recommend using “m’excite tellement” which sounds a lot less awkward and directly translates to “excites me so much.” Tho that’s just a personal preference tbh some people probably don’t even care or don’t find it as awkward, it’s just typically not the kind of things you’ll actually hear or read often when it comes to french.

Quick translation corrections:

“Tu es si charmante” means “you’re so charming” (but yes alluring def works just as well)

“Je veux te baiser encore” means “i want to fuck you again.”
“I want to dominate you again” would be “je veux te dominer encore”

(Careful: “Baiser” can mean “kiss” (un baiser) as much as it can mean “fuck” (te baiser), which can def lead to some confusion. In this case the author used it as “te baiser” which means “fuck you”. It’s also more of a France french term. Different french will use different words for fuck/fuck you)


THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY LITTLE FRENCH LESSON. IT WAS PROBABLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE CAUSE I SUCK AT EXPLAINING. If you have any other french-english translation or just overall questions on how to say something, please don’t hesitate! I’ll try to answer as best as i can!!

I thought i had seen an update for this so i picked it back up after letting it marinate for a bit… i should’ve waited longer… y’all be saying its been months, how much longer will we have to wait

I want them to date and be happy and make music for each other and have sleepover where they talk abt their favorite band and cuddle. Like damn my heart goes out for aya, having a crush on an oblivious girl is tough lmfao maybe i should let this marinate for a while (we all know damn well I’ll gobble that next chapter)

Hah

I dropped this manga after like 10-15 chapters. Came back real quick to check the last one after reading the comments and context or not, this chapter alone was enough to confirm i made the right choice. My heart goes out to in-seob and the real life toxic and abusive relationship victims out there. This manhwa represents physical and emotional abuse very well and i hope anyone that goes through this kind of relationship can gather the strength they need and get out of it unharmed as soon as possible. Stay safe y’all and if possible get some therapy, it can help more then you think

As much as i disliked yoo hyun for being crazy obsessed, i feel like he’s had his redemption. It’s not like he can apologize for what he did to taehyuk when the kid had no memories, unlike eunuch hwang, the moment he found out taehyuk remembered, he apologized for guys wrongdoings as well as eunuch hwang’s, even though the latter acted alone. He had a sick obsession but realized only after losing the one he loved for the most that it was the last thing he should’ve done, except by that time, it was already too late. Then he was reborn. Then he died and was reborn again. Aside from the fact that it must’ve been traumatizing, he also repented. In this life, even though he was often in taehyuk’s business, he was never overly obsessive or toxic as he was before. He regretted and felt sorry and had to wait years and years of reincarnation to not only be able to see his brother again, but also apologize. Except even then he could only internalize, because taehyuk being reborn didn’t mean he had his memories, and let’s be real, what good would it do to apologize to someone who has no idea what you’re talking about.

It even so happens that despite often asking taehyuk about his business, he also stayed far away from him. Whether that was to correct past mistakes, to avoid feeling the obsession he was had or because it was his way of apologizing to someone who remembered nothing, i feel like it spoke volumes about the regret he felt.

Of course i also understand taehyuk. Aside from his past life, he doesn’t know about the lives yoo hyun lived. Whether he truly regrets or his apology is sincere probably doesn’t matter much done to him all he’s known was suffering while being around yoo hyun. I’m just kinda sad that he couldn’t give him a second chance, considering all that yoo hyun went through to atone for what he did. Then again, since taehyuk doesn’t know about that, if i put myself in his shoes i also wouldn’t be able to give him a second chance. I kinda just feel bad for yoo hyun. I would’ve liked if he stayed bad and manipulative, it would’ve felt easier to feel satisfied with taehyuk’s decision in the end.

TLDR: i love taehyuk but i feel bad for yoo hyun after everything he went through, since i feel like he repented enough for his past. I still agree with taehyuk’s decision though since he only ténèbres the suffering.

Telling us where we’re at in the novel is amazing
