Thankyou for translation.

It might be just me but, for last 20 or so chapter Hellper have felt bit stale. We had gang attacking Mesnoomi and Cheon vs Kim Kang, which had some of sickest chapters of season 2. We are getting lot of backstories and seeing characters interacting with eachother. But story development have felt nonexisten. At least when it is compared to cliffhangers of each chapter is promising. I don’t know if drama, criticism and negative opinions towards Sakk and Hellper at the time made him write chapters this way to keep readers hooked. Each chapter end huge showdown. But in next chapter tension dissolves in some deus ex machina involving third character. This might again be intention to show character interactions relationships. And it is usually done well. There is conflict, like in this chapter it’s between Gwangnam and Hunk, and third character sister can show who they side with. But when done dozen of chapters straight it feels repetitive.

I can feel card house being built up. And im here when it comes down! And maybe later I might say that this part of season 2 is my favorite due charater interactions and getting to know all characters.


On side note on this chapter, on chapter 84 when Deukchun was complementing Cheon for being only one to get hit on Gwangnam. Right after that it cut to Hunk, who seem to be second to be able to get critical hit on Gwangnam.

Yeah I agree that the Gwangnam tease is over done and we should be getting some real action soon to avoid frustrations. This is kind of what Deukchun's role was, the idea being Gwangnam is focusing on getting his good boy points up after the Orphanage, being a pacifist while with Granny, also allowing for him to build his otaku carefree persona, then Deukchun providing the action people like. However, people are still fixated on the mc they love and it's been dragging (still, deuk has some crazy moments that I really love). I will say the build up for Gwangnam is there and we are transitioning, and for the arc as a whole the setup is pretty much done so I'm expecting some real development soon. For what you said about fan influence, that could be. "The hater" character was a response to the toxic comments section, which is surprising to me how far back it started. I guess they just categorically were against Gwangnam being fat, there are also a lot of season 1 purists. He said he stopped reading comments so it won't affect him at some point.
One thing I'm super happy about in this arc is the improvement I saw in terms of just how fun the writing is and the character interactions, it does remind me of season 1 more.
