For those wondering about the ending - I translated the author's message.
Hello, this is Geonhan.
I sincerely apologize for how long it has taken to reach out again with an official notice.
I had planned to at least write a brief afterword and announcement when Love Jinx concluded, but my situation continued to worsen, and I ended up only submitting the manuscript without posting any notice at all. I felt that ending things this way would be disrespectful to the readers who loved the work, so even though it’s late, I wanted to leave a proper, detailed message now.
The reason this announcement took so long is that for a very long time, my physical and mental health completely collapsed. I lived in isolation, unable to meet or even contact anyone outside my family.
When I began working on Love Jinx in 2020, I was diagnosed with depression due to work-related stress and was advised to undergo treatment for over a year. However, as deadlines became more intense, I was unable to continue treatment properly. After Season 1 ended, the company granted a two-month hiatus, but I needed more time due to health issues. At the time, my intestinal condition was severe enough to require surgery, and I repeatedly asked the company to extend my break, but all requests were denied. In the end, I returned after only two months without resolving the issue. After that experience, I didn’t want to go through the stress of negotiating again, so I took the same two-month break after Season 2 as well.
During Season 1, I was still receiving depression treatment and my physical condition wasn’t as bad as it is now. But starting in Season 2, my daily routine completely collapsed. I gained over 20kg, and both my physical and mental health rapidly deteriorated. As a result, I regretfully caused frequent delays and hiatuses during Seasons 2 and 3.
Then, in May of last year, compounded by an old serious injury to my tailbone and pelvis and significant weight gain, I developed severe pelvic pain (specifically in the sacroiliac joint, hip joints, and knees) to the point where I couldn’t walk. For a while, I was unable to do anything at all. The accumulated depression and stress from serialization, my inability to work due to my physical condition, and personal hardships such as my mother’s surgery all overlapped, completely breaking me mentally.
I had been pushing forward with the sole goal of properly finishing the series, but this happened just one or two months before completion, and I couldn’t regain my footing mentally. Even drawing—something I once loved—became frightening and unbearable, and I couldn’t hold a pen for a long time. Still, I couldn’t escape thoughts of work even for a single day, repeatedly falling into frustration, self-blame, and regret. These experiences became traumatic, to the point where even mentioning or recalling them was painful, so I avoided everything and lived in hiding.
Many people around me tried to help, but this wasn’t something that could be fixed by others. It was a battle only I could fight and overcome myself. Yet time kept passing, and I saw no signs of improvement. I reached the point where I wanted to give up on everything and abandon myself more times than I can count.
Only after about a year was I finally able to gradually return to a normal daily life and come out of isolation. By focusing on a regular routine, exercise, and treatment, I’ve returned to a healthy weight and my condition has improved significantly. My joint issues still cause occasional mobility problems, but they are much better than before, and my mental health has improved enough that I can write this notice.
I’m still not able to draw properly yet, but there are side stories I truly want to share. Once my health improves further, I plan to return with these as extras. However, to prevent potential hiatuses during serialization and to avoid the stress of ongoing releases, I’ve decided to complete all the extra episodes in advance and upload them all at once. I’ll share more concrete details in a future announcement.
I repeatedly promised to take better care of my health whenever delays or hiatuses occurred, but I failed to keep those promises. Because of my poor self-management, repeated delays and long breaks happened, and I wasn’t able to share any updates at all since last year. I sincerely apologize to readers for everything that resulted from this.
I only found a way to serialize healthily after becoming seriously ill. I will work much harder so that I never break my promises to readers again and can serialize faithfully in good health.
Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read this long message.

Greedy companies smh
I hope she would just resign from this heartless company :'(
soooo an adult mom told a 5 year old kid that he needs to apologise to his dead mom and to do so, he needs to die?? That is SO FUCKED UP. I would lose it if i were the dad.
ok so i still didnt understand where is the real beatrice's soul? the real Rae made a deal with the witch to get her soul inside Beatrice so that she can get her happy ending. but then where did beatrice go ? Did she die ? was she fated to die ?
The mc is beatrice
simply the raeliana whe knew (the mc) got beatrice's soul, so our mc is actually beatrice that got reincarnated into the korean girl, and then reincarnated again into raeliana's body (hence why the mc raeliana have beatrice's languange ability)
