I have finished the novel, read thru in one night omg. All I can say is, wow. Green flag ml, good plot, hot smut - this novel has it all. It was the last leg of the story that made me sit up and pay closer attention, and I’m happy to say that it nailed the ending on such a satisfactory note which is more than I can say for some KR works right now. Both MC and ML character developed equally. Worth following to the very end. Has very positive reviews, and I totally agree with all of them.
I also bought the novels off ridibooks, as I get this inquiry a lot.

Hey do you mind me asking if you understood about the teacher?
I used google and i was confused, did the teacher had a crush on the ML? Or on the white hair dude? What did ML told white hair dude at the end?
Overall i felt pity for him, his ending was very very miserable.
1) He is Shinru’s love interest. 2) And he gets ravaged by Shinru. 3) Yes, he bottoms for Shinru. 4) Shinru is absolutely and completely a top. 5) His feelings for Yuri consumes him at a level which his ‘obsession’ with Taeui couldn’t even compare.
Yuri was the one who fell for Shinru first, albeit still maintaining his professionalism. Later on in the novel, Shinru took his time but he falls HARDER for Yuri (it’s a case of ‘he fell first, the other falls harder’.) Shinru’s character development ties in very closely with his relationship with Yuri, and they explore even questions like ‘does Shinru really like Taeui or was he just pissed Ilay stole something from him.’ Something Shinru was seething over because Yuri asks questions that hit straight at his areas of weaknesses. Shinru can’t hide anything from Yuri but Yuri himself can’t hide from Shinru as well.
Tbh I love this pairing and I actually look forward to them more than the main pairing. Their side story Raga was enthralling to the end.
Who's yuri again?
The guy at the last page of newest chapter who came out of the swimming pool.
Okay thanks
whos shinru sorry haven't read this in a while
The chinese guy that taeui like that time he was still working in that organisation unhrdo or something like that
If it's possible I would like to know where did you read Raga? I have hard time finding it. Just some half translations. I couldn't find the whole book anywhere. I searched for pdf-s to download because those Korean sites give me trouble and I can't verify my age easily.
Hey there, I bought the books off Ridibooks as they verify overseas visitors quite easily. You could probably find them off a pirated site but for the life of me, I actually forgot its name.
And the director ML will grovel big time later. His desperation will hit the roof. MC had a reason for being traumatized.
Edit : I purchased my books from Ridibooks. And when I edited my post, replies disappeared fror some reason. But yeah, wait for the sheer desperation, how it knocked ML off his smug pedestal. Not that I'm happy when a simple communication could resolve their misunderstanding, but with all its flaws, it felt good to see ML taken down a peg or two.
> readers thinking this is the gayest scene ever
Brace yourselves, comrades. This is /nothing/ compared to coming for us soon. This is the appetizer, and we are heading for the main course of Hyunjae x Yoojin goodness.
I hvnt finished the novel yet , are we close to the chapter where he 'gives birth' ? Cus i cant wait
Not close at all but tbh…
SPOILERS
if I were to rank pet child in my fav hjyj scenes, it would probably be middle or near bottom. (Meaning, there are other scenes that made me hyperventilate or scream more lol)
Right people emphasize the pet child so much (I’m guessing because they haven’t read that part yet) but the other moments are WAY more intimate
can you spoil it for me please i need more of yoojin and hyunjae fruitiness to cope with the han bros angst
Oops sorry I just saw this…let me think…okay so the little scenes I remember is Yoojin applying lipstick on Hyunjae (and saying it looks good), sensual af wine pouring scene, Hyunjae giving pink gifts and Yoojin being a tsundere at first and then gradually warming up to it. Yoojin drools over Taewon’s body and then Hyunjae gets jealous so he compliments Hyunjae saying he has a nice face.There’s also a scene where they smoke together with the same “lighter” There’s a lot more.
On a broader scale, it’s harder to talk about how intimate they are without reading the novel, but one of my favorite aspects of the novel is their “breakup” I’ll keep it vague there’s some points of the story where Hyunjae realizes Yoojin influences him so much and makes him feel differently that he completely shuts out Yoojin for the fear of himself changing. And then Yoojin is EXTREMELY hurt during these periods, and he reacts very intensely lol (like threatening to bomb Hyunjae’s house) And also as the novel goes on Hyunjae is one of the people Yoojin expresses his feelings to (since he usually bottles it up) and it’s so, so sweet how much they rely on each other. Also throughout the story it’s basically said that Yoojin is the person Hyunjae cares about the most (and then a certain someone else but it’s a different relationship) Anyway, Yoojin having a child in it of itself is not that impactful to me, but it’s more the relationship they form as two dads and this kid that really shine to me. Like they are literally a married old couple.
OH MY GOD YOUR REPLY JUST MADE ME FINALLY DECIDE TO PICK UP THE NOVEL LIKE I AM SO SEATED FOR THIS!!!! HJYJ RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS IS SO INTERESTING FOR ME I NEED TO OBSERVE THEM IN A LAB UNDER A MICROSCOPE THAT’S HOW INVESTED I AM IN THEM THANK YOU FOR THIS REPLY I LOVE YOU RANDOM STRANGER ON THE INTERNET
WOOOOOO YESS HOPE YOU ENJOY THE NOVELIM HAPPY TO HELP
“I’m sorry Izek… to make you see this.”
Me, the butthurt novel reader: See what exactly?
Did it skip over a lot?
I think in the novel the beating on Ruby was more severe and it explained and depicted better ,it rlly showed the feelings and such even when izek attacked cesare it had many details, this just ran through everything rather fast
I was so lukewarm about the anime with the first two pairings, so I decided to give ep 8-9 a try. OMG, I didn’t expect to be so blown away by the chemistry and charm the 3rd pairing Rei and Yoshino have . WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE TWO RED FLAGS DATING TOGETHER. Pure chaos hahahaha.
Yoshino is so entertaining with his shoujo monologues yet I can’t get over the fact that he has herculean strength at the same time. Rei is such a good foil to him with his cbf attitude, these narcissistic red flags are the highlight lolololol.
I feel so let down. This was THE moment I’ve been waiting for since I started the manhwa. The moment where everything was laid exposed, Ruby being all bloodied as he slammed her to the ground, all mirrors destroyed, and everyone rushing in to witness the scene. There were shards embedded on her face, she could barely see. The scene HAS to be that horrifying for the group to understand the true ugliness of Ruby and Cesare’s relationship. But this scene fell completely flat, and for the first time, I feel this did not do justice to the climax of this plot point.
OMG finally someone gets what I'm thinkinggggg, I feel so disappointed too
I mean unfortunately the manwha cannot be 100% true to the novel and i think they didnt add it because it probably would be too graphic for readers idk and of course novel/book readers always have high expectations but also you have to keep in my mind that they have to shorten novel scenes since they could be way too long
RIGHTTTTTT!!! From them changing it to Freya instead of Lorenzo who told Izek where Ruby was, to Cesare already rushing Ruby so early after the tournament to the whole mirror scene, it felt very rushed, as if it was all last minute changes. In the novel, it shows Ruby and Cesare taking their time in the mirror room (he was drinking wine and laid back which showed how confident he was) before he starts rushing her yet here.. the scene feels so out of place here because why didn't Cesare just rush her to the port if he was already panicking so much?? It felt random given the weird pacing they set.
Not to mention, he was far more abusive and emotional during this scene since the image he had of Ruby came shattering down with the mirrors. Yet here.. it looks like he doesn't even notice that... heck all he did was shove her into the mirror and its depicted like it was an "accident."
Too many changes for such an important scene that killed the significance.. the manhwa tries to make you see Cesare's POV and build his character during this scene but it destroyed the development of Ruby standing up to her abuser and finally voicing her thoughts. The scene was definitely more poetic and satisfying in the novel then in the manhwa which is disappointing since this is the first change from the adaption team I really did NOT like at all. Not to mention, before Izek attacked Cesare, it showed everyone's walking in to seeing her being abused (again.. the symbolism of the glass breaking: the reality was shown the moment everyone arrived.) Ruby even calls them her true family.. so many changes that it just feels like a different story.
Also mad they changed the dialogue. It was so empowering to hear Ruby say that with Izek, she doesn't feel like a queen but a goddess (it highlights how Cesare thinks he can promise Ruby the best but he can never compare with Izek who gives her something beyond that... even more when you realize the story focuses on religion at times.) Ugh.. everything was so lacklustre that I'm upset by it..
I agree with everything u said here
I was scanning for just ONE crumb of HJYJ and… IT GIVES ME KING HYUNJAE and QUEEN YOOJIN. HELP
HYUNJAE. Oh Hyunjae. I can ALWAYS count on him to appear in some form, one way or the other around Yoojin. I am hyperventilating at all of their greatest hits moments because Hyunjae basically changes the genre lololol.
The sexual tension between them is hotter than ALMOST every BL manhwa out there.
So remember the part where Yoojin was counting the remaining minutes of his three pills and Hyunjae mentions he seems more experienced in dungeons despite his short awakening? Well in the novel, Hyunjae says he’s gonna fall for him the second time when he saw that and I literally went KYAAAA. And all I can say is, this is just the beginning. (I finished the novel, and waiting for the side stories to finish.)
I don’t bat an eye when I read porn Bl manhwas. But one touch or flirtatious moment from HJYJ has me screaming like a dying banshee. I’m waiting to see if they can stick the landing nicely, just so I can CONFIDENTLY say this will be gayer than ORV by 374829%
Out of all the series I’m following, this is the most intriguing and one I’m obsessively following the most. The top has quirky yet princely traits and yet his character description says he’s also a regretful top? (Meaning he will chase the MC back due to some regret he have)
It’s being serialized on bomtoon and it’s making me deciding to go ahead with getting age verified there. The artist/author is very new and deserves all the support. Her artwork is breathtaking!
