Bro, the way I was suspicious of Luna since she was introduced, but then was relieved she was a friend character. BUT then when it showed the purple haired guy going to his “master” or whatever and I noticed the girl had long hair and knew it wasn’t Olivia so than I clocked back onto Luna?? LIKE BRO THE ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS I HAD
Bro, I love showbiz manhwas and they always have some type of bromance that is so good and I immediately begin shipping but it’s not bl so whatever. But EVERYTIME I find a showbiz BL manhwa, it’s always the angstiest shit ever and never focus on any showbiz.
Am I the only one that notices this?? ;;
like why is it so hard to find chill bls about showbiz where it’s also about the mc growing as an actor, idol, or whatever? Like, they always gotta be about the darkest topics like SA, sponsorships, or just anything but the actual showbiz part.
Like I understand that’s the underside part of the showbiz world, but there’s gotta be some bls that actually don’t make me feel sad after reading right?? I just want to see my babies get famous and then kiss ;;
I know I’m asking for too much lol. I’ll just continue reading my showbiz manhwas and fantasize about my ships coming true in them ;;
If anybody knows any, even if it’s in novel form(I’m desperate lol), please share for the needy ;;
well between the lines is angsty asf but it does show a lot of show biz
Haha ;; yeah I’ve read that one, and the angst is definitely there
Angst cant escape me ;; but maybe it’s cause I read too much bl lol—

the art is so beautiful too ;-;
Hmmm I’ve seen it for a while. I might read it when I want to read fluffy bl, but probably gonna read something showbiz focused for now haha(where this random thought even came from when I was looking at my showbiz manhwas to reread lol I’m addicted)
i recommend these but maybe you’ve already read them lol

Anyone else get a pet peeve when official translations completely get rid of any use of honorifics? Like, things like hyung, ahjusshi, noona, sunbae, -nim, -chan, -kun, -san, -sama, gege, and every other honorific you can think of? Like, I feel like it’s just as important to the story, since it signifies how close a character is to each other. But they always either omit it or change it to something else that doesn’t describe the exact feeling the original gave? Like, I sometimes have to replace it in my head or I only read the unofficial translations since they keep the honorifics.
Like, I get it because of localization or some people might not know what they mean, but that’s what translator notes are for?? Idk, I just get peeved by it and it makes me so sad when the official translations or any available translation localizes the hell out of the English translation.
Though, I understand beggars can’t be choosers and this is such a first world problem, but I still feel sad about it and wonder if anybody feels the same or does anyone prefer when they leave the honorifics out? Just wondering why and stuff.
Also dislike it when they change the currency to American dollars. Like, PLEASE JUST GIVE ME TRANSLATION NOTES INSTEAD. IM BEGGING YOU.
Miss the days when you would just get a random translation note saying “TL note: Moo means Moo.” Smh /j
Meant to write hyung, not thing lol— autocorrect
me when i was reading the s-classes that i raised... total ICK
RIGHTTT its so sad when the best stories get the extreme localizations ;; like, when did 4kidz start doing manhwa translations wtf
Also when that special moments when the couple first says their first names in mangas...
I agree! I especially dislike when they try to replace hyung with bro or something. It's just not the same. There simply aren't any English language equivalents for most of these honorifics and good translators recognize that and preserve them while explaining the meaning in notes.
I do feel like most recent official translations I see have been keeping honorofics and other cultural terms in the translation so yay for that
Yesss I’m so glad for that too, but some new ones still do that and the really good ones that have been out for a while (like s classes) still have the extreme localization and it’s so sad ;; let my boys call each other hyung!
Same!!! Like it makes no sense and then the translator has to create a whole page to explain it all because they didn’t have that from the beginning like it could’ve been fixed all from the beginning if you kept the original! It also makes the moment so much more special!! It’s part of the culture so it really sucks when they change it ;;
I totally agree with you it’s just not the same
Man, I marinated this and now I don’t even feel like reading it. Let’s be fair though, I like reading fucked up shit, and it’s what got me interested in this series to begin with. But I don’t really want to see the bottom sleeping with someone else :/ hate when stories do that. Plus it actually shows the sex scenes?? Too much like ntr and that’s the one thing I dislike. Plus, from what other comments said, they don’t even end up together in the end? Man, im disappointed. Like, what’s the point them. If they’re gonna be toxic, commit to it at least.
Unless there’ll be more chapters showing them getting back together or something, probably won’t read this :/ (or I might read up to the sorta cheating(?) but not really cheating part.)
valid. i was in the mood for slop but read fhat the btm sleeps with someone else and then read the recent spoilers…so nah
Yeah that’s my one dealbreaker :/ like I can handle the craziest shit hit as soon as either the top or bottom sleeps with someone else, I immediately lose interest. That’s why I barely read love triangles nowadays, unless I know it’s a confirmed 3p ending or something
Mood!! Or maybe I can handle it if it’s at the V V V beginning or something and then stops when the couple start anything with each other. Unless the story is so so so peak that it makes up for it. But ofc that’s rare lols
Yeah I think I can only stand it if it’s literally the beginning chapters and the main characters literally haven’t even met lol XD anything else and I feel like I’m reading an ntr series and I HATE that.
Bro, also I hate it when a series has the horrible toxic top trope, but the way he’s toxic is he lets random mobs gangbang the bottom?? Like, the fact that I’ve found two stories like that made me mad. LIKE WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING A HOT MALE LEAD IF HALF THE TIME THE BOTTOM IS BEING RAPED BY RANDOM UGLY OLD GUYS. LIKE I DONT WANT TO SEE THAT SHIT.
NO NO NO TO THAT WTFFF lmao sorry it’s lowkey serious for me too. It’s ok if he’s toxic and a little funny in the head but he has to be possessive!! I don’t like other ppl touching my btms!!
