ML is your typical obsessive top but surprisingly he respects consent.
You can enjoy a toxic romance without worrying about SA.
I'm sold!
Can u give spoilers please? :D
I need spoilers plzzzzzz
It's like Into the roses garden plot wise but more level-headed and just focus on the fifth regression. It's more emotional/character driven than plot driven. A lot of unsolved plot points but I still enjoy the ending.

I had mixed feelings about the side stories so won't translate that as of now.
Hey! What chapter in the novel are we now? I'm having a hard time tracking huhuhu
The novel goes back and forth between the past and present. The manhwa adaptation chooses a linear storytelling from past to present instead. Right now the manhwa is in "the past" but the novel mixed up the timeline so you'd better read everything for a better experience.
I read your translation and it is excellent!! I was really connecting to Dani as a character and his hate and despair.
10 out of 10 translation
Oh my gush! Thanks for this!
For some reason, they removed my upload for chapter 13. While I'm the only one translate this and no official translation anyway. Go to mangadex if you want to read more chapters then
thank you for your service, quuen

It's well written if you treat this story as a politic psychological thriller that reflects some Korean social commentary. It's dark and fucked up. Not a boy love or anything close to romance at all.
Do you know if the pace picks up at some point? I’m at ch 27 and it’s been pretty slow after the graduation. There’s still like 60 more chapters to go so it feels suffocating in a way where you cannot relax expecting something fucked up to happen
where did you read
where can I read the novel in english
The link is literally included in the thread...
Just wanna drop to say I just finished translating the main story of the novel. (it's a happy end btw).
Coming into the side stories, you will see more from Heewon's POV.

you are an angel
I LOVE YOUUU
So I'm picking up translating this novel. I'm doing from the first chapter and the beginning of season 3 of the manhwa simultaneously.
https://lacquerinedichtruyen.wordpress.com/novel-english-critical-point-%ec%9e%84%ea%b3%84%ec%a0%90/
Is the novel only few chapters? I can see only 9 chapters? Otherwise thank you so much.
It's a long novel. I'm still working on it
If you want to read from season 3 in the manhwa then start from chapter 9
I see. Thank you.
The site isn't english, what is the site name?
Nice, thanks for translating
The phone call scene at the end of this chapter is my favorite part in the novel (and I don't think the manhwa captured the feelings very well) so I translate it.
Sneak peak
Not the Yoon Hee-won who listened to my nonsensical talks over the phone, nor the Yoon
Hee-won who would still have the scar on his right hand, nor the Yoon Hee-won who calmly
confessed he was jealous of Im Ji-ho who he didn't even know. But the fact that we were
looking at the same sky where the first snow was falling, the hot sound of breathing that
seemed to come through the phone, and the thought that maybe I could understand Yoon
Hee-won even while staying in separate rooms—these things remained with me as traces
more hot and intense than anything else.

Is there anywhere I can read the full novel?
Afaik, no. You can buy Korean version from ridibooks then use translation tool like how I idid
By any chance do you have link for the whole novel, please?
Ok I got some free time so this is the actual spoiler
Calix did love Hernan from day 0, but he wasn’t aware of his own feelings until around the middle of the story, which is what led to his relationship with Luce.
The thing is, Calix was a pretty boy who had been lusted after by many older men when he was younger. He always admired Hernan and saw him as an older-brother figure. Then he found out about Hernan’s feelings for him. Calix got mad and thought Hernan was just like all the other men who lusted after him, so he felt betrayed. He treated Hernan horribly afterward and eventually fell in love with Luce.
How much Calix actually loved Luce was never explicitly explained, but we can infer that part of his feelings for Luce came from spite because Luce was Hernan’s best friend.
Later, in the 5th regression, Calix finally came to terms with his feelings. He realized that maybe he had taken Hernan for granted and became determined to do anything to “test” Hernan’s love for him.
And Hernan wasn’t completely innocent either, at least in the 1st life. He worked with Calix’s father to separate Calix and Luce. Then, to get revenge on Calix, he forced Luce into marriage. When Calix came to take Luce back, Hernan challenged him to a duel and deliberately let Calix kill him.
Basically, Hernan chose to die by the hands of the person he loved because he wanted to leave something behind in Calix.
Then the deer revived him into multiple regressions. Eventually, Hernan regretted what he had done and tried to fix everything by helping Calix and Luce get together. But every time, something went horribly wrong and Hernan ended up dying again.
In the 4th regression, Calix wanted to revive Hernan and asked a dark magician to do it. This somehow resulted in Calix regressing too, while carrying the memories of the previous timeline.
Calix thought *he* was the one who revived Hernan, but the deer was going to revive Hernan anyway. What Calix did with the dark magician basically resulted in him getting regressed into the 5th timeline as well.
So the whole plot is basically about Calix slowly realizing that his true feelings have always been for Hernan and trying to win him back.
Hernan has ALWAYS loved Calix, but after all those messed-up regressions, he became depressed and convinced himself that his love was the reason Calix and Luce were unhappy. So he keeps trying to arrange for Calix and Luce to be together.
So basically:
**Calix:** “I actually love YOU, Hernan.”
**Hernan:** “No, you’re just confused. You have to love Luce to be happy. We should just divorce .”
The entire plot is basically these two idiots trying to untangle this gigantic misunderstanding across multiple timelines.
Oh and in every previous timelines, Hernan was married to Luce, except in this 5th one, he was married to Calix so the last panel is Calix
is this manhwa like a mix between itrg and lunacy? does this one have non/dub con?
I don't know about lunacy but it's very much like Into the rose garden minus the senseless grape. In fact there's no sex scene at all until the final chapter
Where did you read it? Can you share or dm link
Reminds me of 2ha
I bought it on ridibooks. Buy it if you can to support the author. Novel's price is pretty affordable.
You can find English translation on novelupdates. It's probably translated by AI though.
What’s their dynamic? Like top and bottom?
Calix = top
Hernan = bottom
Thank u so much !!! ヾ(☆▽☆)
Thanks a lot for the spoilers... i was getting so confused I'm gonna read this everytime I get lost
