Thank goodness the author didn't give up and decided to take a chance with this series, it's genuinely so unique and one of the best I've read. It's rare to have a story that depicts complex characters so well. I hope they can be proud and gain some self confidence after seeing how beloved it is. Very sad about no side stories, but looking forward to what they'll be creating next (though hopefully after taking a well deserved break.)

Side note I'm a little curious which of the author side stories they're referring to when they talk about losing confirmed considering they're both so totally different lol. Like on one hand maybe they felt the fluffy story of Let's Make it Seductive was pointless, and on the other you have the ultra traumatic Sheep's Mask

I much prefer the ending where they don't end up together. I don't mind the professor being a bit of a flawed scumbag, he cheats on his kind wife frequently, sleeps around, is selfish, and has a receding hairline. The story knows this and for the most part it doesn't seem to completely excuse it, Jonathan and the Professor both know it's wrong. That's why it seems odd to disregard and have some typical happy ending after all of it, the bittersweet ending where they've both improved due to each other's influence but still part ways seems much more fitting. Would've loved Johnathan getting with Evan instead :/

Defiant Kim Dan is so cute, I'm praying so hard that he sticks around for a WHILE and eventually Joo becomes desperate. Honestly one of the first times I've enjoyed this series in a hot minute, more of this please!! Doesn't erase how rough the beginning was but if it keeps up this pace I may have hope of rating it 3 stars by the end lol
Loved Count Tachibana, hoping this story isn't just a bunch of torture porn considering I know what this author is capable of :/
