The whole big bang project was a keikaku within a keikaku between Karen's grandpa, that manager that came up with the project and the rival company that sent over the remaining "newcomers" to steal their call center training. Yariba barely makes the quota by being a damn fine boss to his subordinates, current and past, and being inspired by his girlfriend's passion for writing to hang in there. He BTFO the yuppie manager who tried to run and beg him for help when it's revealed who and what the rival company really wanted to poach and holds his ground against Karen's grandpa when he offers him a nicer guilded cage for proving his merit to the company. The epilogue has him and Karen going for another date that he lets himself get "tricked" into and him considering the possibility that she might actually make it for real, in several ways.

Obviously don't read if you want to enjoy the coming twists for the corporate slave arc. It makes up the last third of a 360 page novel and is packed with more scenes than the previous thirds.

Indeed. 2nd one seems off to a good start and amazon reviews rate it highly. 3rd one appears to have a dip in ratings and the 4th is between them. The 2nd one is 460 pages long btw and the average LN typically go for 200~300+ pages.

After chapter 8:
Why not stop at "guy likes to slam walls"? Simple is best! For example:
Tarou likes to slam walls. You might say he is good at slamming walls. Even best. Though he is hiding his talent, realising it is wierd. One fateful day, after school, Tarou had an urge to slam the school wall. He thought nobody was around and accidentally slammed the wall near popular girl from the same grade, Momo. Attempting to soften the slam, Tarou leant towards the girl, so much so that she could feel his breath and mumbled words of apology.
Momo, thinking she was confessed to, unexpectedly for herself got flustered and run away. By the time she returned home she realised she can't forget this exciting moment and decides to get close to Tarou.
On the next day, Tarou, alredy panicking and reluctant to stay at school, thinking he was hated and soon will be hated by everyone in school for assaulting a girl, noticed that forementioned girl is looking for him, attemps to run away, but is caught by Momo's best female friend, Kotori, who witnessed kabedon scene before. Jelous and furious because Momo fell for him so easily, Kotori lashing on Tarou and forsing him to do the same to her just to mock him. Scared Tarou obeys and with his masterful impact he kabedons Kotori.The shock from the impact and closeness of a boy piercing Kotori, but before she manages to react, the unfortunate couple got interrupted by Momo, who misunderstands situation and runs away (again) with exclaimation "You will do it for every girl!". With upset feelings, Momo actually writes in school social network that Tarou would do kabedon for every girl to vent her anger. Unfortunately for all the charqacters, she miscalculates. Since she is popular girl in school, now lots of girls want to get same treatment as princess Momo and hunt Tarou's kabedon, while Tarou himself just wants to slam walls in peace.

And thus concludes wacky pilot of love triangles and kabedons.

The generation gap is really showing up lately. In chapter 5, the moment Yariba accept, most people from my generation would have ended his career right then and there. To us, it would've been a trick question, a test. Both to test either he care about the granddaughter and not the wealth, and a test of character. And he failed miserably. It is the correct answer as EMPLOYEE and SUBORDINATE, but as a MAN, as a BOYFRIEND, and as a HEIR it's a wrong answer.

Turns out that chapter 10 was released by Fallen Angels over a month ago, and chap 11 came out today. Their group doesn't allow non-members to post chapters. Apparently, FA Scans just doesn't want to post their stuff on mangadex. Either way, they only get 4 months (it's already been 2), then any upload restrictions or other group policies become invalid.

Edit: Front and center on their webpage is a paypal donation request... Hopefully another group will step in and take this over. It's a shame too, I really like this groups work, but refusing to post to mangadex helps nobody, all the chapters will still make it to pretty much every other manga site that doesn't care about the scanlators...

@seekermoc The rule applies to groups that haven't released any chapter in the past 6 months anywhere on the internet. Not releasing on MD only doesn't count for the group to be considered inactive.

@seekermoc At least it's good they have nothing against regular aggregators rehosting the chapters. Strange logic, but it's their prerogative as the scanlator.

Oh, I'd wager FA is against all the other aggregators as well, it's just that the other sites don't care about a scanlation group's policies. Unless, of course, your post was meant as subtle sarcasm.
