I liked the Hwarang idol battle part but I can understand why they skimmed it since it didn’t add anything to the story.
I think the most important thing that was missing was the TeSTAR vs Onyx (TeSTAR’s main rival for the rookie award) bow and arrow version of paintball.The aim was to ‘look like they’re trying hard but not win first place so they aren’t taking attention away from other groups’.
It’s another subtly psycho Chungwoo moment taken away from us #－.－) (Moondae: he looked like a platinum player slaughtering all the bronze players). In the end he had to stop Chungwoo from going crazy LOL
The other one was during the bird variety show when he said he’d rather shoot the birds (with a bow) than with a camera.
I’ve already posted this before but thought I would do it again. It’s an epub compilation of all 644 translated chapters with the best non-MTL versions I could find (the final few chapters 629-644 are MTL because there is no human translation version out there but I’ve fixed it as much as I could so it should make sense to an extent).

Thank you so much!
THANK YOU OMGGG
hi ily
OH MY GOD THANK YOU!! I LOVE YOU
Thank you
I had a friend request me for my list so I thought I'd post it here too.
Firstly DoD actually released official instrumentals versions for It's Me (Idol Inc.'s theme song) and Magical Boy which can be found on soundcloud and its also been covered by some youtubers. Tbh, the only other sources of DoD songs without AI assistance I know of are the youtube channels Catch Your STAR and Camellia. If anyone knows any other channels, let me know pls
Something I also like to do is listen to 'voice castings' on youtube which is basically when channels match TeSTAR's songs with an already existing kpop song with a similar concept to imagine what the song + their voices would sound like. Even if the video is monetised (which it usually isn't), the profit still goes to the original artist. I discovered a lot of kpop songs this way, so I do recommend this as an alternative for those who don't want to support AI generated music.
I don't remember if it's this season but for me personally its Moondae/Ahyeon/Baese's unit performance ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
There's so many other things I'm looking forward to though. Honestly it was around this part that got me obsessed with the story so I'm really excited for new chapters.
the airplane tribute of loviewers
Broooo wtf is this chapter is so cute but is this actually the official translation? Wdym ‘I got caught up watching skirts’ that could totally be misinterpreted
I’m pretty sure it’s a parody for Shorts but why skirts??? Lmfao what the hell
And ‘once u get addicted there’s no going back’ geez it makes them sound like creeps
Yeah that is suppose to be shorts as in YouTube shorts...but yeah that translation is really bad
I couldn’t wait for the rest so I read the novel from the beginning. It’s insanely cute
The only problem was that even though I read from the beginning again, it didn’t feel like I was reading it the second time bc of all the parts they skipped
Novel Jeongwon feels cuter and sneakier and they explained the games showing how much (internal) planning and effort he really put in to get his way. Cha Hyeon also feels a lot more sassier but in a funny way. Honestly it was just so addictive bc the chemistry between Jeongwon and Haewoon is amazing and such a rare find-unfortunately a lot of it was skipped over. I really highly recommend the novel~~
where did u read the novel
U can read it’s on novel updates
Replying to remind myself to read the novel later
Yeah I agree completely. I usually don’t find that much of a difference between manhwa and novel, but this time it’s really noticeable.
The novel is just way more fleshed out and better.
Hey guys I compiled all 644 chapters into an epub + cleaned the text. I'm not sure if the link will show up here, but if not, send a DM and I'll reply (feel free to send a DM if there are any other issues): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lhpkmdqhs67p5wata1kfg/dod-allchapters-cleaned.epub?rlkey=m5r2seoeygsy8mw4kjjz1qx7t&st=gat60l6n&dl=0

Hi everyone, thank you for the kind messages <3
I just want to remind everyone that I posted for mangago users so pls hush hush about this comment section and my account.
If you want to share then please only DM link.
Another thing, I was wondering if anyone is interested in being friends and talking about the novel with me xD All related communities I’m in are unfortunately dead silent so I’m a bit desperate ;-;
I might make a discord group chat or something but yeah if anyone’s interested at all pls lmk through reply or DM
Helow, what chapter in this link are we currently in? HAAHAHAHAH THANKSS SO MUCHH PAGPALAIN KA NI LORD
Chapter 101 of the manhwa corresponds to chapter 101 of the novel, but they also moved the story around so Bae Sejin is still Lee Sejin at that point. If you don’t want to re-read that part then u can skip to chapter 106 ^^
Thank you so much
Hooray for side story! (and a new different story)
I've never seen any of those couple checklists but I had fun reading through them. Some of them made me LOL like 'regrets the past' for Taehyeon, so what that means is the entire story of how they got together is a dark history for him.
I don't understand exactly what Off the Record AU is, and I can't find anything from google search. From the checklist it seemed like actor/idol but how is it different from celebrity AU?
Off the record AU is specifically an AU where the main story is all part of a show being broadcasted on TV and everyone is an actor roleplaying the plot. So it is an actor AU sorta
Thankyouuuu. That’s interesting, I’ve never read a story with that specific setting.
Update: I just finished the webnovel. Not the side stories but at least the entire main story and I’m left with another hole in my heart. Idk how to say it without light spoilers but a hundred chapters in and I felt like I couldn’t stop reading until I see how it resolves just to be sure everyone gets their happy ending. Hoyun frustrating me and playing with my emotions time and time again didn’t help lol
But in the end I’m satisfied. I particularly loved the main story scenarios especially Jiwon’s - it really resonated with me how much he had struggled and tried not to despair, but it’s also one of many moments where Hoyun shows how sweet he can be towards others. Anyway I might stare at the ceiling for a while and then find another thing to read.
how many chapters in total? exc the sides
Main story: 487 chapters
Side story: 71 chapters
If you don’t mind, where did you read the novel? The translation I’m following hasn’t updated in a while, could you share… even if it’s mtl # desperate

Could you pass me the chaps if you can too? Im obsessed
Please please please
Can you dm me as well please?
I started reading the novel because I heard they didn’t add the future seeing item which turned me away from the story a bit. Anyway the novel story is a lot smoother (just finished the main story and there were no forced spicy scenes) and the Gaia system made a lot more sense. Unfortunately, I think knowing the future and not understanding the Gaia skills properly will lessen the impact of the upcoming plot twists. It seems like the BL quota is overshadowing the amazing plot here.
