Why did we even get this chapter if nothing was going to change between Hyesung and his mother?? Why did we get that random ass chapter with Blondie and Bin if nobody was going to confess? WHY ARE WE GETTING ANY OF THESE CHAPTERS THAT MAKE NO SENSE?!
This BL was supposed to be following Byul and his journey with love and HIS struggles. This was not supposed to be a story about everyone else and them tying up their loose ends with their relationships/ insecurities. What's next?! Are we going to circle back to Chowon and his wack ass family?! Or better yet let's bring back Hyesung's dad from 50+ chapters ago and see how he's doing with his wife and kids?
I mean come tf onnnnn this is getting ridiculous. This should have been titled
"Love is an Illusion: Sides Nobody Asked For"
Bcz I'm SICK to DEATH you hear me?!

This was a wild ride from start to finish. Joo pissed us all off a good 85% - 90% of the time. He was way worse than Alex ever was so I think the author had to make his redeeming arch over the top because a simple apology wouldn't have been nearly enough.
He turned Dan every way but fucking loose (poor baby ). At one point I wanted Dan to walk away from Joo in a time skip fashion of them waving at each other but this ending was nice too. Dan was going to need Joo when his grandma eventually died.
Also seeing Joo initiate the PDA was so adorable I was kicking my feet.
If I know Mingwa's style we should be getting some sides of Dan and Joo as well as sides of Pink hair and Potato *Crossing my fingers*
W-what do you mean LAST?! No no no I need 3 more seasons of them just being happily married and then being able to watch them grow old! This isn't fair I'm not ready for it to end yet. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
This story is going nowhere fast.I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!!! "The Queen" was the beginning of the end for this author! All the characters in that manga were boring as shit!
When this one came out I don't think the author really wanted to write it or had a passion for it like she did for the original. She probably was just giving the fans what we had been asking for since the original story ended...His own story. This is just not it though. Someone else said it was rushed and I agree. Every chapter from the very beginning is like a side story with no meaning to it. Now, we have to sort out the relationship between Bin and Chowon...The author is introducing too many side issues without there ever having been a main issue.
I genuinely expected more from this author.
MY SHAYLAAAAS I'm so happy they reunited. The author better give them kittens or I'm suing!
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
YOU JUST PISSED ME CLEAN OFF!
Why WHY do you insist of giving me whiplash?! JK telling Dan to fuck off because he's upset with him packing his stuff to him buying matching RINGS as an apology?!
I can't...I physically cannot deal with this shit.
I don't know what form of drug you are currently taking but I'm gonna have to ask you to stop immediately. How are gonna go from "Leave me the fuck alone" to "Take this ring and never leave me?
That scene with Gyor and Psyka had me in tears. I know I hated them the entire time but this part really fucking did it to me. Part of me was hoping they would make it out and run away together but I knew that wasn't going to happen. "I love you...my Beta" that fucking did it for me
Maybe in another life they could be together again.
I just found out about this spin off yesterday. If I'm being honest. I'm kind of bored. This story is basically just one huge monologue with a sprinkle of actual conversations. Now don't get me wrong it's nice to understand the inner thoughts of a character but damn.
Actual conversation would be nice too. Woojin was my favorite character in the main story to the point I couldn't wait for him to get some major screentime. Woojin was so feisty and vibrant in the first manga but now he's bland and boring; his energy is at 0. I understand they have all gotten older and Woojin is now 30 years old but he's not dead. Does everything he does have to be such a drag I mean he's 30 not 60. Even during sex with his life long crush was boring... No emotion his face and I know he was a virgin but even a look of pain would have been accepted. Then when he finally felt good we got this
Let me start by saying that everything Im sharing comes from spending many years on this site, observing patterns across multiple accounts, and reading user reports. Im not the dev, mod, or admin but Ive had experience with systems which is why I can answer your “whys” and “what ifs”
THIS IS THE SITUATION
Jan19 - Bto closes
⠀⠀⠀*start of traffic surge to Mgo
⠀⠀⠀*some features have slowed down a bit
Jan24 - Mgo goes down
⠀⠀⠀*caused by backend updates or overloaded servers
Jan26 - Mgo comes back up
⠀⠀⠀*site is online again but very buggy: missing lists, random logouts, slow pages, no notifications, etc
⠀⠀⠀*this is when the system started gradually restoring lists
WHY IS THE SITE SO BUGGY
- Mgo uses separate parts for different things. One to SAVE your manga data (aka database/the memory), another one to DISPLAY your saved Manga data (aka UI/what you see), and another one for your browser/session data (aka cookies, login state, etc/this also connects the database and ui). When everything is working properly, these three systems stay in sync (eg. when you save a manga, it will show up in your list right away)
The system will communicate with Database, like hey this is the user that logged in go tell UI the things they should display. So Database will tell UI, like hey based on what's given to me, these are the saved data that belongs to this user, these are what you should display. HOWEVER, because of the gradual restoring of lists (which puts a heavy load on the site), the System, UI, and Database are not able to communicate properly, so theyre not in sync. This is why we’re encountering the issues
I DON'T GET NOTIFICATIONS
- since the System, UI, and Database are not in sync, Mgo cant correctly link your acc to your saved mangas so notifs dont show up/update properly. This is temporary and should be fixed when the system is in sync again
WHY DO I KEEP GETTING LOGGED OUT
- Mgo keeps track of your login/session info. But if this isnt tracked properly, Mgo may log you out randomly/repeatedly
WHERE DID MY LIST GO
- Your mangas are not deleted. Theyre still saved in the database. Mgo is gradually restoring everyone’s list from the oldest to most recent marked mangas. Follow this post to get notified about updates: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21092806/
WILL I GET MY LIST BACK
- YES. Do note that while your list is coming back, you might notice some things are off:
⠀⠀⠀*all mangas going into Already Read even if theyre originally marked as Want to read or Reading
⠀⠀⠀*deleted mangas showing up again
⠀⠀⠀*missing notes/summaries
⠀⠀⠀*only rated mangas showing for some users
(I can explain why but it will be too long for this FAQ. idk how to explain without sounding too technical so i might also have to explain the basic terms. You can ask in the comments if youre curious)
I ADDED NEW MANGAS TO MY EMPTY LIST, WILL IT OVERWRITE THE OLD ONE
- if you ADD NEW mangas while the site is restoring, your new list will stay. And your original list will be added back on top of it once its fully restored. But if you RE-ADD EXISTING mangas, it will update the original date of when the manga was added, tags, and summaries/little notes you originally had for it. its usually best to wait and let the restoration finish before making lots of changes
WHY DO OTHERS HAVE THEIR MANGAS BACK ALREADY, WHILE MINE IS STILL MISSING
- think of this like we're reading through a giant BOOK of everyone’s manga list, arranged by the exact time each manga was added (aka timestamps). Each timestamp is like a page in the book, and we read them from the oldest timestamps to the newest. Right now, we are reading timestamps from Feb 2022 (as of writing this post), so any timestamp dated later than Feb 2022 wont appear YET
If your lists are still completely EMPTY, there are 2 possible reasons:
One is that its about “activity”, not account age. So even if you joined in 2016, but you didnt add any manga until 2023, your list wont appear until the system reaches the timestamps for 2023. The second reason is, since the system is very busy right now, it sometimes hits a blurry page and has to skip to keep moving. This doesnt mean your data is gone. It just means the system needs to go back for a second run once the "main reading" is done
HOW SOON WILL THEY COMEBACK / WHEN IS THE RESTORATION EXPECTED TO FINISH
- how soon your lists fully comes back depends on how far along we are in the “book” and how many timestamps we still need to read. If yours already started to appear again then thats a good sign. it means your account is already in the queue and the rest should continue to come back (gradually, not all at once)
If theres another run, expect anywhere from a few extra hours to about one extra day. A full second pass could push it to Feb 4–5, but a partial cleanup run would likely finish around Feb 2–3.
IS THERE A WAY TO EXPORT MY LIST
- heres one way to export your lists: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Drj0CviUhrAmZlU-DC-AtxGFQoH1_PYQ81b2Vzu82w/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.acjitdw8v0h thank @Gurl for this solution by following/sending them a message. This is their account: https://www.mangago.me/home/people/3402357/home/
IMPORTANT: WHEN TO CONTACT SUPPORT
- PLEASE WAIT. Do not email the devs yet. The system needs to make several runs to load everyone's data correctly. Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. Give it at least 2 weeks from now.
If after everything finishes and youre still seeing clear errors in your marked mangas, report them to [email protected]
If possible, keep a small log of your observations and what you did, such as:
⠀⠀⠀*whether you re-added, edited, or deleted mangas during restoration
⠀⠀⠀*any repeated issues (random logouts, missing notifs, errors, etc.)
⠀⠀⠀*the other specific errors you noticed
Simply put, keep a log of WHAT YOU DID/OBSERVED and WHEN (use GMT or if in your local time, specify your timezone). The more specific your report is, the easier it is for the devs to trace what went wrong. It helps them replicate your actions so they can actually find and fix the problem
Here's an example log:
2026-01-26 9PM: I noticed my list went missing
2026-01-28 2AM: my list is restoring up to 67
2026-01-28 9PM: I added 10 mangas to my Already Read
2026-01-30 6PM: my restored mangas is stuck at 67
2026-01-31 10AM: my list count is increasing again. It restored up to 83
2026-01-31 7PM: I added 3 mangas to my Want to Read
EDIT TO ADD: Youre welcome yall (i cant reply to each one of you youre too many ) Im just glad I could help clarify things! Ask away if you have more questions so I can keep updating this community-notes for everyone! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
