Okay I'm just gonna say...chapter 19 the first ever trigger warning about rape is very ironic considering MC's been raped 2-3 times now by ML and there's no tw when that happened. Comparing what the two did, the old man and the ML: 1) at most the old man managed to grope MC's chest after choking him unconscious, 2) while something actually happens when ML rapes MC those 2-3 times. And the trigger warning only appeared on the groping old man
This is good. It's just sad that the author got harassed by rabid yaoi fans so he deleted his Twitter account.
For info:
Some rabid yaoi fans are making yaoi fan arts of this and sending it to the author. Author asked them to stop sending those fan arts to him, especially that most are explicit. Then those rabid fans got mad and started harassing the author. Sending more explicit fan arts. Even accusing him of homophobia.
Edit: just to add... He didn't even tell them to stop creating yaoi fan arts, he just asked them to not send it to him.
You know, just use the proper hash tags and stop flooding his account. It's a simple request.
Why are people saying it's the 4th wall when nowhere in the novel it's implied that it's the 4th wall? There is actually a part where they hinted on why his face is blurred but it got ignored coz people already tunnel visioned on 4th wall.
Some novel readers just theorized that it is 4th wall early in the novel coz there's still no explanation, and it stuck until the end. They tunnel visioned on it so much that they ignored some indications debunking the 4th wall theory.

SPOILERS....
The 4th wall weakened/turned off completely many times but the blur is still there. Some readers actually questioned if the blur will disappear coz 4th wall turned off, but later they got shocked/confused coz the blur is still there. Even the characters themselves didn't react to Dokja's face after the 4th wall turned off. This got ignored coz people still zeroed in on 4th wall.
Another thing that got ignored is the clear hint at the end on why Dokja's face was blurred. Han suyeong and the others want to exact revenge on Dokja so they decided to write him as ugly when they're making the novel. Given the novel's theme, they wrote him as ugly so the universe/starstream/whatever censored Dokja's face.
That is the only time that the novel acknowledged and hinted about Dokja's censored face. It is at the end but some readers already focused on 4th wall by tht time so it got glossed over.
I just want to inform people here that the translator doing this is not uploading in this site. He's uploading on another site so he can't read your gratitude, but still it is welcome and the TL would be happy i am sure(or i'll just deliver your messages lol).
Regarding the hate, the hate he's talking about is not from here. It's from that site where he uploads.
What happened was, there was a scanlator group that is translating this manhwa but their upload schedule is wack and their translations are not that good (it's decent sometimes tho). So this TL decided to translate this too (he said his reasons in the note there). Then the scanlator group got mad and voiced their hate towards this TL, accusing him of copying them, sniping etc. The fans of that group also threw hate towards this TL. But the thing is, there are more people who support this TL coz his upload schedules are decent (he's willing to upload a day later as respect to webtoon and that scanlator group), and his translations are also better than the scanlation group.
Idk but the people called out the scanlation group for being a hypocrite. They said that that group is also known to snipe others too.

I am posting this again since it looks like my post is bugged. It's getting cut and not showing. I'll say again in chapter 19, it's pretty ironic that they showed a trigger warning about rape but it's been happening since the start when ML did it to MC 2-3 times already. If you compare the two: 1) the old man managed to grope MC's chest at most after choking him before ML intervened . 2) ML managed to do it to MC 2-3 times already but the tw only appeared when old man did it.... At most, what the old man did was attempted rape while ML actually managed to rape MC. Don't tell me just coz MC "felt good" after it doesn't count as one even tho MC protested against it the whole time ML's doing it?
I like the lore of this story but what i don't like at least currently are the characters of ML and MC. So for people who already read ahead, pls tell me if they get char development. What i want to know is 1) is ML is gonna develop respect for MC and stop being rapey? ML saying "you actually like it" to MC whenever MC protests honestly sounds very groomy behavior. 2) is MC gonna develop self respect, have a back bone and stop being a push over? Will he finally put his foot down and actually stop the ML whenever ML rapes him and tell ML off about it? Or will he continue to let ML do it to him coz he "feels good" afterward despite protesting the whole time?
Honestly the manhwa about the S-class MC who smells like honey has more self respect than this MC despite being a simp himself. S-class MC is also a simp but when he thought ML didn't care for him and found another guide to use he actually left ML. He still a simp for ML but coz of misunderstanding he actually did something and not just fold immediately. He came back completely when the misunderstanding got resolved. Don't get me wrong, i still like this a bit coz the lore is keeping me interested but it's growing thin coz of ML and MC's characters.
Oh i forgot to put spoiler tag just in case. So WARNING SPOILER ^. There's a spoiler there for the manhwa "S-class guide who smells like honey" at the last paragraph.
