God…chapter 138 is such a magnificent chapter… the ache and yearning and pain and bitterness all tied around such a deep, true love…
Jesus Christ that ending…
I wonder how they reconnected considering the age when Sumino split w his wife and then their age in the ending. But wow the ending hit me clean in the gut damn
Oh wow shuraka’s tattoo that covers his scars? Interesting…
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
God this is so beautiful. So cinematic and expresses so much without words.
(When will it be my turn lmao)
oh seo-in… I knew it was coming and it still doesn’t hurt any less. He already hates himself so much and at the pivotal moment when he’s thinking he might finally, finally be taking a step towards the love he’s always held in his heart, towards the person who’s always made him feel like a person… oh man
So fascinating what people will do for power! To think that Incheol would allow this to happen to himself for the chance (not the guarantee!!!) of climbing higher in the clusterfuck of the political sphere! Makes me wonder what he’s truly thinking/his end goals… As for Pyeonghwa…when did this begin? At what point did he take violence for pleasure and how much of it comes from a lack of power and a way to imitate control… Just so fascinating overall the way two individuals seemingly totally lacking a secure sense of self and security are battling out against one another. Will be super interesting to see when they both realize that they’re kind of in the same positions just in different spheres; acting like dogs for those higher than them to play fight with. Will also be super interesting to see if feelings will ever come into play, mainly because the author doesn’t really seem interested in bullshit lol it’s so refreshing (but still yet to be seen if they keep it up!) They seem to really want to show the gritty nastiness that comes with this reality and so their development from here will be really important to keep up this tone and the intrigue that is being built. I can totally see a really bittersweet, realistic hard ending to this because well…that’s life, especially in these circumstances.
Yes, what happened was vile, but in the vacuum of the story, and when thinking of reality, this is what was always going to happen lmao. Two unhinged powerless individuals fighting with the only thing they think they still have control over: their bodies. Next steps will be crucial to the development of these psychos lmao and with the way we’re going…I’m excited to see some gritty, bittersweet stuff with that dry unhinged humor mixed in! Damn….webtoon really got me digging deep this morning lmao
Does anyone know what chapter we’re currently at in the novel? I’m too invested lmao
I’m excited to see Incheol explode bc I feel like it’s building to that and tbh what’s a better combo than someone ready to rip apart (and so also get totally, completely wrecked lol no control just straight mind blown) and someone that wants to get ripped apart (and also taking control and shifting the dynamic and taking them apart/dominating them) I’m soooooo ready to see all that explosive energy meet and then the aftermath bc things have to change for them both! Two psychos getting together?get ready Miss Rep/town politics bc it’s going to get real fucking ugly lol
I’m pretty sure he doesn’t realize that the target of bullying was Yeongwoon and it might later be a catalyst for maybe two outcomes?: the final nail in the coffin that confirms his worst thoughts that he’s not good for anyone much less and especially Yeongwoo or, he goes full on revenge ready to tear everything down and start from nothing to get back at the people who did all this harm to them both (his “family”) or…maybe a third option that is both of these plus him disappearing, etc, bc to him everything bad and disgusting always come from him and he loves Yeongwoon too much to subject him to it anymore. It’s pretty sad to see how much he’s internalized all the disgust and hate that the people around him have thrown at him. We’re basically seeing, in both Yeongwoon and Seo-in, the two roads possible for children and adolescents to take when faced with such terrible circumstances and horror. The push through at all costs to be normal and happy even at the cost of seeming like a pushover bc they still believe and have hope (YW), or the succumb to nothing waiting for life to end and living in vile empty hedonist disgust bc even the act of dying/suicide would require action and the thought of ending beyond the nothing. It’s really heartbreaking and I’m so damn invested lol I hope they both can find peace ideally with each other :(
The novel is actually really good and presents the mc’s thoughts and actions a lot clearer tbh
Omg it’s soooo nice to have them back yes!! I just reread this too I love them so much
Oh…….. oh oh oooooooh, man. This is it, what a way to convey both their feelings…and that call back to when they first started messing around, the unguarded Seo-In and Yeongwoon just realizing maybe a little bit of the pain and tenderness…ooooohmygod
does anyone know where to get/read the novel or the raws of the novel? Please, I’m dying lol I don’t mind a dm if that is preferred.
Woooooooooooow. The longer it goes on the better it gets? Binged read and now going right back to the beginning to read it slower and with more detail. Would anyone by any chance have or know of the novel raws, or if any one has translated it or is? I already know of the manhwa raws and have seen them. Completely obsessed. The art is up to par with how incredible the story is and, to me, I feel like the sensuality in the sex scenes adds a deeper effect to the overall story. It’s not just sex in and of itself it’s them affirming and seeking their feelings for one another veiled through the thoughts of pleasure. They seek one another and joining their bodies affirms that they are there and are able to grasp, if only for that moment, each other through the stretch of impossible circumstance that had brought them together. Also, of course, they’re hot and sexy lol. I’m all in on this it’s incredible
Yeongro with a tongue piercing makes me want to scream!! Gyul would have so much fun lol god, this is definitely one of my favorites forever. It’s so beautiful and poignant, truly taking its time to weave the story and present something sensual and mature. A true true gem. How deeply I will miss it
