Decided to try doing this write-up as I read the chapter for once, and the comments are PROMISING - can't wait to find out what the author did to finally piss off the non-russian speaking readers.

Page 2 part 1 - starting off with a bang, ждать means "to wait". As in, the infinitive version of the verb. Although infinitive verbs can be used on their own as a sharp order, akin to "halt", that does not work here whatsoever, especially with the ellipsis.

Page 2 part 2 - я в порядке directly translates to "I'm in order", but the phrase itself does mean "I'm fine/okay". Full marks.

Page 5 - север means "north", no problems here, although the whole "switching to a different language for one word" thing here reads even worse than usual.

Page 7 - понимание means "understanding" or "comprehension". Yes, the noun. I guess the intention was for this to be "я понимаю", meaning "I understand"?

Page 9 - хозяин literally means "owner". I guess it could be used to mean "head of the household" if used in a proper setting and with a completely different sentence? Instead, here it reads like she's a servant of some nobleman.

Page 14 - холодно does translate to "[it's] cold". I guess the author does know about adverbs. Full marks.

Page 16 - big boy right there. The sentence means "to warm self from inside". Again, the infinitive is improperly used, which isn't actually that uncommon when it comes to poorly translated russian. Another common mistake in this manga is not using enough words to form a sentence. While russian is a language somewhat known for the ability to drop plenty of words from a "proper" sentence without losing any meaning, you still have to know how to use the language, otherwise you'll sound like a robot speaking words in an algorithm.

Page 23 - what the fuck is going on in the manga? Is there even a single reader that thinks this isn't garbage? Step forward and be judged. Oh, and да means "yes", which fits the meaning, full marks.

yeah ngl this shit is ass, even by this manga's standards

This is worse than the previous work by the author with the countryside gal. I only read it for the artstyle, but damn, this shit is so ass.
at least this romance didn't start with actual literal rape

Karen is being a AH to her husband. If her friend didn't make a reservation for him and they're traveling as a couple, she should reject Mio's plan and said that she will sleep with her husband at other hotel.

Negleting her husband in the trip they booked together is a huge disrespect
its been two years since she last saw her friend, shes spending a night with her, dont overblow it

Yet again with the stupid lesbo bitch trying to break up the main couple. Got nothin' against lesbians(I can't remember the letters that cover all of 'em) or anyone similar, I just detest the fucking trope.

The kid is annoying but you guys are overreacting here. Karen only sees her as a friend and hasn’t gotten to see her in years, let the girl have a slumber party and unwind a bit. Not her fault the brat is being a brat

Again, like I said in the 1st post, this kind of reaction only works in a conventional high school setting when the two of them are dating / lovers. Pulling this drama on a married couple is utterly trash, moreso when FMC is potrayed as an airhead waifu and the dude has no backbone whatsoever.

Has anyone, anywhere, in any series, ever, found this trope entertaining and enjoyable?

devils advocate. The husband being a doormat/pushover because he was trying to be considerate even though he got disrespected by said friend. NEVER said i agree with this one nor like this one. Its so bullshit and this one of the tropes THAT NEED TO FUCKING DIED AND NEVER RETURN.

No. If they do find it entertaining, they're beyond hope of all hopes, yes its comedic yet doesn't mean its entertaining to everyone.

I have a sneaky suspicion that the rating tanked hard after this arc - Mio and this whole drama really only works in conventional high school setting, you do NOT pull this shit to a married couple. The MC being a total cuck doesn't help either, but maybe that's just me :v
Yes he is that way but the girl is also more shy then a young teens first Romance, so she is off to she has a thing for his muscles . Still all these months it's not like they did anything friend is just excuse, living together as married couple and may as well be strangers

Yeah nah. Can we kill her off? Those two aren't even dating, you're interfering with a married couple.
The problem is, Karen isn't doing anything and Joji is being a pushover.

I don't see the point of this chapter other than to make us spite her.
But let's be real they're not really a married couple it's only in name not in feelings or actions they must have been married for at least six months now and still have not kissed
