I agree with @channington, I think the author's throwing us a red herring and there will be no immediate fight. He's right, Yeonwoo hasn't done anything wrong yet, there's no reason for Taehoon and he start a street fight. Besides, there's the NewTube part - they're not streaming. My guess is...

@Rayznar Our translator and QCer didn't know the distinction. I've corrected it and the chapter has been reuploaded. Thanks for the heads-up.

@remote_red Yeah, I noticed it was tangential at most. That's why I think I'll be able to keep reading this. Still, it was delivered so matter-of-factly, like a self-evident truth, it gave me goose pimples.

The story itself is interesting. The whole idea behind the premise, that "Japan is the heart of the world, the place most keen on splitting the bread" is probably the most blatant form of Japanese nationalism I've seen in manga, beating all of the "Japan nanba wan" military manga, or AoT's...

For the record, we do not have the slightest intention to drop this. Who would want to wait 11 months to know what happens next?

@nfzeta and others who are wondering: I checked the raws to see why SVQ Scans changed Shigoku Kyou's pronoun to "she". Granted, the character is androginous and it's hard to tell, but the given name is 京, with the same kanji as Kyouto the city. According to Jisho.org at least, that's a female...

I think I'm dropping this. There are too many deus ex machina interventions by the author. They're just creating suspense by making stuff happens that puts Cha Joon in bad light, and creating opportunities for Tae Oh to shine, only to undo everything right after. And the people involved are...

@raineight So you've cherry-picked a few of my contentions in a long text. I suppose either you agree with, or haven't found a way to counter-argue the rest, but either way I'm satisfied. To wit: I meant Yona was there in all the circumstance when Soo-won's usurpation risked a major...

@AstralRealms Lest I become too repetitive, I'll try to change tack a little. In general terms, I think you and I are being generous, in our counterfactuals, to the side we favour. You imagine favourable outcomes and noble intents in Soo-won's usurpation, betrayals and militaristic...

@AstralRealms This discussion is now biased by the findings of why Il behaved that way, which we learn in chapter 197. But never mind that. To answer your question: it's hard to deal with counterfactuals, but both Sei, Xing and Kwelbo decided to move towards war because king Il was murdered...

Thanks for the correction, @Fushiginiku!

FINALLY!! I've been waiting to start reading this for years!! Because the other version is MTL, I could never get past the first five chapters to read the proper translations that follow! We have a shared team member with Shadow Scans, I'll make sure to convey my gratitude in person.

@Purplelibraryguy Couldn't agree more. I argued the same, less eloquently so, but I even mentioned the hubris archetype, Oedipus. Not sure the message got through. (In fact, it's noteworthy that other than our differing opinions on Tolkien, which caused a heated disagreement years ago when...

@Mitsu13 That's a good question, and I've been asking it myself as well. Will Yona contract the illness, too, and create a new cursed lineage if she has children? Yon-hi wrote in the memoir that her father had told her the illness was the gods' way of summoning the King back to their side as...

@notdani It's a metaphor used in the previous chapter. Soo-won's talking about how he distributes everything he has to reflect on in mental boxes. Not putting up means Yona's isn't going to place high in the mental shelves where he keeps the boxes. Soo-won appears to think his decisions are...

@raineight How do you defy a prophecy? I mean, it's a legitimate question, no? Il wasn't a Seer like his wife. He had no way of knowing how to defy a prophecy. Suppose you know a certain outcome in the future has been prophesied. How do you know which of your actions go against or towards...

@MazzieB811 It's a metaphor used in the previous chapter. Soo-won's talking about how he distributes everything he has to reflect on in mental boxes. Not putting up means Yona's isn't going to place high in his mental shelves where he keeps the boxes. Soo-won appears to think his decisions are...

@Ashleyneal He was too harsh on himself. He called himself a coward, when Hak says the only reason he followed him was because he had realised Il was far from being a coward. Considering that until the beginning of a modern age, the reigns of kings were chronicled by their wars, keeping Kouka...

Remaining straws for Soo-won lovers to grasp: i. We don't know whether he did indeed read the memoir. I was sure he had till last chapter, but now it seems the memoir went to the castle and never came back. At the very least, I think Soo-won didn't find the letter in the bookmark. ii. Il was...

@Vivianjo Hak said so as far back as chapter 3: "This king… is no coward."
