I really like the story in the beginning, but I'm really starting to not like it right now because they're trying to redeem the bully guy. It's making me sick to my stomach. He literally drove the original to su*cide and they're acting like he's just a lost kid. That guy bullied someone so bad that they committed su*cide. The main character promised Revenge, but the main bully gets away with it. The main character is far too lenient on the guy that drove the original to su*cide. And it's... more>> like he's just a kid let's just make him feel a little guilty. They treat what he did like it's something in the past and that is all okay. Bully guy would continue to bully the original forever if he didn't die. And don't give me the broken home argument that's an explanation not an excuse or justification. He is disgusting s*um and this is supposed to be a Revenge story not a bully Redemption story. I can never forgive him or watch The Narrative forgive him he beat the main character black and blue tormented him endlessly and then he jumped off a bridge how can I forgive him? <<less

I truly love this novel. I read it a year ago in Korean and I am very glad that I got to know this. I almost never read novels in the modern genre, but I did not regret the time spent on this one at all. MC's soul and original body's age are 47 y.o. And now he's the same age as ML (19 y.o.). Yes, I know, the age gap may confuse you, but it's really wholesome once you start reading it. It's slowburn, and smut will be shown... more>> only at the end of the novel. MC is very reliable and mature persron, but at the same time he's really cute, that's one of the reasons ML fell in love with him. All three of them (MC, ML and MC' body's previous owner) have their skeletons in the cupboard. I have no doubt that your interest will not vanish throughout the story. The plot is very interesting, there is mafia, politics, and the relationship between parents and children, but at the same time, the novel is not overloaded with details, it's great.

In general, the novel is top notch and I recommend it to everyone for reading.

Special thanks to the translators. <<less

I read the raws.

The story isn't your usual fast-paced 'Papapa' stories. It has an actual plot and good character development.

Spoiler

It has a Happy End. And yes, it's pretty much slow burn though the smut at the end is really good.

PLEASE GET A NEW TRANSLATOR OR AT LEAST EDIT THE MTL SO THAT IT IS READABLE - I don't understand why people call themselves translators when they're just running it through MTL

Literally cant read a single paragraph without having to attempt to decipher what it is saying - pronouns gets mixed up, weird wording choices, and just phrases that don't make sense

I was watching the Korean drama series based on this novel when I noticed how sweet the two main leads were—I couldn’t help but feel like they were meant to be more than just “bros.” My curiosity got the better of me, so I did a bit of browsing and eventually found the novel. That’s when I realized my hunch was right—they really are meant to be a couple! I absolutely loved the story, and I’m so glad I got the chance to read this wonderful novel.

This was interesting. I liked the concept and it was executed well. I wished the MC had proper closure on the soul's guilt but I'm sure he'll be alright. The ML too is an interesting characters. They're both interesting, including the side characters and there's almost no dull moments in the book. The translation is okay too, look forward to the extras.
