I like the degree of Cheongryeo’s (outright) [From: Debut or Die] psychotic/unhinged tendencies

And I’m not strictly just referring to the full one unhinged things he does. Like, I mean just his way of carrying himself too on a “regular” basis.  He’s the type of guy who’d suddenly start laughing and then just randomly stop in the most off putting way (by that I mean he canonically does that).

The whole scene where he’s giving Moondae a car ride is amusing but also off putting, because in Moondae’s own words, “…He seemed a little psychotic” 😭. Like, the whole time they were in that car, Moondae is keeping check of the view ahead and around the car and making extra sure Cheongryeo doesn’t take his eyes off the road while driving ☠️.  Moondae did not want to be in that car lmao. Understandably so, due to the erratic nature of even Cheongryeo’s small actions:

Cheongryeo smiled and lightly tapped the steering wheel. Moondae: ‘I’d rather be the person driving.’  […] I only moved my eyes to glance at the rearview mirror but I could see Cheongryeo’s eyes staring at me. …Frankly, it was downright creepy.

Or that one point where Moondae blocked his number, and so Cheongryeo called Moondae’s company to get in contact with him again ☠️

It’s all little things, but definitely add to the fact that this man’s sanity is barely handing on lmao

[I really look forward to reading his future shenanigans in the Manhwa 💥]

VOL 1-3

Rating: 5/5

Book Blurb:

Before the wedding, her fiancé had an affair.

So she got a new fiancé to break up…

But there is a little problem.[You said he was a killer?] [There’s a rumor that he’s a wreck.] [Some people fainted because they were scared during the conversation.]

Lilia stared at her new fiancé, who was carrying all kinds of bad rumors.

Karhan, holding a little puppy in his arms, lowered his eyes as if he were about to be scolded.

“Lilia…. I took this puppy because it was raining outside.”

…..Is this engagement okay?

***

She was walking to the Orgel store she bought last time. Lilia was surprised to see the incredibly long line.

“What……?”

Something new came out?

Was it not that, or was the product released by a limited sale?

Lilia walked slowly along the line like salmon against the river.

It turned out that the origin of the string was Lilia’s Orgel shop.

‘How long ago was it so quiet?’

Embarrassed, Lilia looked around and grabbed a man and asked, “Can you tell me why everyone is in line?”

Then the young man kindly explained.

“This time, a popular actor placed a ring in a music box and proposed a marriage. After the rumors, the music box became a necessity for the proposal.”

Unbelievable.

She hit the jackpot again.

Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

I mean you can't just get me interested and stop uploading (hypocrisy) yes but, a person who is really good at acting yeah I know, but all his swordsmanship is basically based on bloodlust (Nagisa: someone mentioned bloodlust? Get outta here Nagisa). Such a strong bloodlust that all techniques dull in comparison to it, and yes there is some guy the main protagonist of the story who goes around killing people and stealing their swordsmanship techniques but really we didn't get that deep yet.

Damien hears the Truth

This is a one-shot canon from a Korean web novel called "LUCIA". It contains spoilers from the novel. Read at your own risk.

If you want to read it, you can DM me for the link or just search for RubyMaybeTranslating. It's a classic arranged marriage in European setting kind of story and Ruby had done an amazing job translating.

----------------------------

Damian felt nervous. Father and Mother had called him for tea in the evening. They haven't mentioned anything serious but his instincts told him it is something serious.

'Did they find about her?' he thought, 'No they couldn't I have done my best to hide her.'

He stood outside his mother's recieving room. It was nothing like the receiving room in Raom but it had the same warmth.

"Come Damien, let me pour you some tea. How did the meeting go?" His Mother asked him. She looked just as she did all those years ago and so did his father who sat next to her.

"The meeting went well Mom." He replied and took the tea his mother had made for him. He took the first sip and noticed how his father had motioned for all the maids to leave the room.

"Your father and I, we wished to discuss something with you Damien." Lucia broke the silence after taking a sip of her own tea, "Hugh tell him in detail." She elbowed her husband.

Damian always wondered how his very fragile mother rulled over the formidable Duke Hugh Taran. The world feared him and he worshipped her.

But for the first time he saw geniune delimma on his father's face. It made him worry more about what they wished to talk about.

"I never wanted to tell you this. But your mother believes you need to know this. You-"

"Remember before your father tells you anything. We love you Damien. You know that right?" Lucia cut him off in panic.

"I do mother, I do." Damien answered not only to reassure his mother but also because he felt her love. He knew that Lucia loved him as much as she loved Eve. That it didn't matter to her that he wasn't her biological son.

Damien noted that Lucia kept glancing between Hugh and him as if she wished to hold both of there hands.

"Let me start from the start. You might have realised this as well Damien, we Taran aren't like normal human beings. Our strength, mind, nature are very different from ordinary people. That is because we aren't completely human atleast not in the normal sense. I will explain you in detail later of our origin. Just know we are a fucked up bloodline that got glorified because of our-"

"Hugh!" Lucia warned him. "Damien, you and your father are not messed up. You are not just what your blood makes you. Okay?"

"Yes Mother." Damian replied. He looked at Duke to continue his story not minding his comments. He was more interested in this story. Like he was finnally getting the piece about himself that he was missing.

"Anyways children are hard for our bloodline. Boys can only be born between step siblings and girls can only be born after a tedious process. And to keep this secret hidden a lot of sacrifices and dirty play was done."

Damien paused, he felt like his world pause. But his mind was running faster than ever. "So I-"

"Keep you questions boy," his father objected, "let me finish first."

"So when the former Duke had twin sons he technically didn't need both of them. So he decided to throw away one of them. I, Hue, was given to mercenaries and my brother, Hugh was here studying as the next Duke. All was good for them untill there realise Hugh wasn't like the rest of Taran. He was gentle and kind and generous. He didn't exhibit the traits of Taran bloodline. "

Hugh paused to let everything sink into Damian. "But that wasn't acceptable so they start looking for me. Hugh already knew I existed we were brothers after all. We loved each other a lot in our own ways."

This story Damien knew. But he never knew that his father wasn't actually Hugh rather he was Hue. The son that was discarded. He suddenly realised how much his father had suffered as he could guess what was about to happend next.

"So, we both were threatened by our own parents. I was told to live as Hugh because I was what they called the perfect Taran male. And he was made to live in shadows. You know what happened next."

Hugh paused once again, this time taking a big breath. Lucia's hand come up to his back as she comforted him silently. "He loved me, and he knew that we both will be used for eternity by these people. So, he did his best and killed them all. And left me just one note. I truly hated myself then. I felt anger, sadness and helpless for the first time in my life. I-"

Hugh couldn't continue anymore. Damien felt his heart squeezing seeing his father like that. His father was truly a strong man. To endure all of this at the age of 18. He was 18 too and he couldn't even fathom how lonely his father might have felt.

"Anyways I thought my bloodline would end with me. I truly didn't want any child. I didn't not want another Taran boy with black hair and red eyes to exists."

Damien stiffened. Afterall he was the stark contrast of his father's wishes. He didn't knew when but his mother had come to sit next to him and placed a gentle hand on his arm.

"But to my surprise, came you. You were brought by the Taran Doctor called Philip. He brought you in front of me and said that my brother had a son."

Damien stopped breathing. It was him, he was the brothers son. That means his father wasn't his father. But rather his father was dead, dead years ago.

He felt his mother's hand tightining on his arm and it made him snap out of his spiral. Both his mother and father were looking at him in worry.

"My brother had told me he loved a woman, he didn't know she was his step sibling. He truly loved this woman. Your mother went away after your father died and I never looked for her. She must have handed you to Philip as he informed me that she passed away shortly after your birth. So I decided to lie. No one knew the truth that I wasn't Hugh. No one knew you were the real Hugh's son. But I knew you desrved to live from the first moment I saw you."

"You looked exactly like him when he was young too. And this might not make sense to you cause afterall we were twins but he was like Sunshine and innocent to fault. And you radiated that energy too. But it was also a fault in my plan to be the last living Taran."

"I am sorry Fathe- Duk- Hugh uh" Damien fumbled still feeling that everything was surreal.

"Oh don't start kid. I am your father, and I will be your father." Hugh insisted.

"And I am you mother, and nothing will change that. We love you." Lucia reassured him again.

"I struggled with my resolution for a long time. But then I saw you and your mother together. And I realised that Taran bloodline will end with me. Because you are not like us, you are just like that idiot. So, instead you will start a new Taran legacy. "

"I am so proud of what you have become Damien." It was not often that Damien hears his father talk so softly to him, "He would have been proud of you too."

Damien felt someone whipping his face. He didn't even realise he had shed a few tears and that his mother was whipping them. Lucia was also crying but she was trying her best to comfort him.

"Mom, I am okay. I really am." Damien assured his mother because he wasn't a small boy anymore and can comfort his mother back.

All three of them stayed silent for some moment. Damine as he took in these truths about his life. He could feel his mother staring at him and his father looking at him occasionally too.

"...Mother and father" Damien say hesitatingly, "I am okay. Don't worry." He reassured his mom.

"See I told you he would be alright, you were worried for anything." Hugh commented.

Lucia laughed at him and so did Damien. He really was shocked for a second but as he saw how much they were worried for him and how much they loved him. He knew he would take time to let that sink in but he would be okay.

"Damien, you are young but don't worry when you get married, and if you want to have children in future we know appropriate measures to take."

"MOM!"

Hugh snickers at his son's embarrassed face. He had told Lucia to hold that piece of information for later but his wife ever so curious doesn't realize that her little boy isn't little anymore.

"I know I know so whenever you have a woman you like tell us."

"Yes Mom, I will." Damine answered still red in the face.

Seeing her showering so much love on their son, Hugh felt a little mischievous and wanted to mess with Damien a little.

"Oh you would tell us. But I don't we know about her then, the one from the academy."

Both Damien and Lucia looked at him, one in disbelief and other in confusion.

It took a moment for Lucia to realise what Hugh meant but she added two and two in her head and shot Damien.

"Damien, do you have someone you like? Why didn't you tell me?" Lucia asked him visibly upset.

"Mom, I would have. But I couldn't find her, she had disappeared. So I was hesitant to tell you anything." He explained briefly.

"She had disappeared? So why aren't you going to search for her? Did you tell her you like her?"

"No I haven't told her Mom. I was studying at the academy not doing this." He said.

"You are just like your father. Let me tell you how we got married. So I was the-" Lucia started her story.

But at some point Hugh had come behind her and he promptly covered her mouth and lifted her in his arms. "You go prepare for meeting. Your mother and I will meet you for dinner."

He could hear his mother's muffled voice as his father laughed and he left the room. He wished to find love like theirs someday.

CALE HENITUSE AND HIS GANG ARE BACK !!

#trash of the count's family #cale henituse #knovels #manhwa

[asteriass]

For a man who says he’ll just be lazy and do absolutely nothing, Cale does WAYYY too much lmao

Like in the start, there’s a scene where he is being sent to a festival, even though his younger bro (Basen) was supposed to go to it originally. And he really doesn’t want to go, and he thinks to himself that if he starts acting up, he won’t be sent there and will get to relax But then he’s like: “ Ok, but if I think about it, the festival is dangerous. If Basen dies there then he won’t become the next Count, and if that doesn’t happen, I won’t get to relax. And also, while I’m at the festival I can go on [insert 3 more convoluted side quests] to collect ancient powers. And then I can use these powers to laze around and relax. So if I really think about it, this is all necessary if I want to relax ”

And then he never ends up relaxing cuz he’s constantly busy 😭

His biggest ‘problem’ is that he cares ‘too much’. He says he doesn’t, but he’s in denial almost. He cares, which is why he keeps putting everything else above his own comfort. Buying cakes, pasta, and steaks for On & Hong was because he did care. He told himself “Oh, it’s just cuz I don’t want them to annoy me”, but no, he had no reason to go the extra mile just for that reason, especially cuz buying those sweets and meat meant he was probably making more trips up and down the hill 🤧

But okay bbg, whatever you say goes ❤️😮‍💨

“Trust me ya’ll, this is all for my rest” My man, you have not slept in 3 days…

Hot Date, Cold War Excerpt

Hello everyone, please enjoy an excerpt of my self indulgent HxH AU, Hot Date, Cold War. 

The basic premise is Ging and Pariston are directors of rival spy agencies, Morel works for Ging as Barracuda, Knov works for Pariston as Jackdaw under...duress. Severe duress. 

Also they have to somehow cooperate to save the world. 

"Now Ging," Pariston said as he gently grabbed the man's wrist and lowered the knife at his throat. "That's no way to greet an old friend." 

"You're not my friend," Ging said as he stepped back. "And you broke into my room." 

A clink and clatter of dangling metal like the world's most gaudy and obnoxious bracelet greeted Ging.

"Hardly breaking in if I have a key." Pariston produced a bottle of champagne, glistening with condensation, dripping onto the plush baby blue carpet. Two glasses appeared in his hand as if by magic. "Drink?" 

Ging rolled his eyes. "Only if I can pour. No, scratch that. You tampered with the glasses, knowing I would suspect the drink itself. So no thank you, Director Hill." 

Pariston pushed out his lip in a fake pout. "But we have so much to celebrate! Two rival agencies teaming up to save the one person who holds the key to world cooperation–or perhaps domination…" 

Just as I suspected. "Mmm…about that." Ging took the glass Pariston offered him but made no move to drink it. He held it up to the light and examined it. "I may have…told my agent to capture yours." 

"Oh! Great minds do think alike!" Pariston beamed, and Ging buried all comparisons to the sun in the recesses of his brain. "I told my agent to capture yours and bring them to me. Here." 

The noise of conflict drifted faintly down the hall at first, increasing in volume until it became a cacophony right outside the door…

And knocked the door down, along with the frame and surrounding drywall. 

Two men tumbled through the splinters and plaster dust, into the living area where Ging and Pariston sat. Ging moved to intervene, but Pariston held up a hand. 

Let's see how they fare against one another, seemed to be the unspoken message. 

That must be Jackdaw, Ging thought when he saw the slight, well-dressed agent trying to put a knife through Ging's own agent, Barracuda. 

Doesn't look like a field agent. Looks like he should be in an office somewhere stealing files. Or playing some diplomat's favorite pretty boy.

Barracuda put Jackdaw in a chokehold and received a broken nose for his trouble. 

Perhaps he is field agent material after all. They might just kill each other if we let this charade go on much longer. "Barracuda. Don't kill your new partner. I told you to bring him in alive for a reason." 

Both of them stopped and looked at their handlers. 

"What did he say?" Jackdaw asked in Russanian. 

"Playing dumb doesn't suit you, dear. You know exactly what he said," Pariston responded. 

Jackdaw slipped out of the chokehold and gave his assailant turned partner a scathing look. "Of course, but what does he mean? Is Director Freecs not the master of our rival agency?" 

"There's been an incident," Ging said as he looked in the glass, now filled with plaster and splinters, and set it aside. "Director Hill and I have agreed to work together to resolve the matter, and put two of our best agents on the case." 

"Boss, you can't expect me to team up with some prissy, college-educated asshole," Barracuda said as he moved his broken nose back into place. Blood dribbled down the front of his gray shirt. "Fuck." 

"I can and I do," Ging said. "The world's depending on it." 

"Sir," Jackdaw said in an urgent whisper. "You cannot expect me to work with that...that...brute! He looks like a street thug!" 

"But you will, or would you rather go to prison for…oh, remind me how long it was again?" 

Jackdaw adjusted his glasses and picked splinters out of his coat. A futile effort. "The rest of my natural life?" 

"Exactly!" Pariston said with a grin that didn't reach his eyes. "Don't be so glum. Just see this mission as an opportunity! I most certainly do!"

When the Third Wheel Strikes Back is a pretty great novel!

Having finally caught up with the most recent chapters of the TWSB webnovel, I can say with full confidence that my 3 week struggle with MTL for 600+ chapters was absolutely worth it. (google translate has come far, but hooo my god not far enough) I may have only understood what was going on half the time, but I still found myself 🥺ing and/or laughing every chapter (except for the ones I was crying at, you know how it goes).

[mild spoilers for chapters not yet TLed by EAP under the cut, nothing plot related]

The novel spends SO much time developing relationships between so many characters and I'm eternally grateful for it. There were a number of characters that I was ambivalent towards at the point where the fan translation is that I'm now fully invested in because so much time is dedicated to weaving them into each other's lives and character development. Our dear protagonist Yeseo might be at the center of the web, but the novel ties plenty of other characters together, too (particularly Christelle, every single one of her relationships is amazing). I wish I could list moments from every relationship that I love, but we'd be here all day.

The novel also gives the characters chances to rest, which is something that I really value in stories. There's always a few chapters in every arc letting the characters take a breath, pause to plan, goof around, or chat with each other in a lower stress environment. There's even time for some of them to start therapy and show that therapy is a normal part of the world (maybe one day one or more of the air paladins can be convinced to go to therapy? we can dream).

And the humor?? Spot on. I'm sure I missed a lot of it by virtue of MTL, but the situational humor, which I suspect was what I caught the most of, was still fantastic. Johann cheerfully explaining that the squad decided to take an opportunity for a nap after purposefully getting caught in net traps, Yeseo casually using Jibril to recreate modern electrical devices, François inventing magical child leashes so Johann can keep the main characters from wandering off, Tithé's main divine power use being Surprisingly Useful Fish Creation, Christelle getting Yeseo a pirate ship as a "souvenir"... okay the last one's been translated already but it's my favorite scene, I can't NOT mention it. Anyway, the list goes on and it's physically paining me not to add more to it.

This is all to say that I really love this novel lots and the sheer amount of love and humor Sookym puts into it shines through even the most questionable of translations. Also, bless EAP for their actual human translations, without which I would have been so lost.
