I read on ridi and it looks like the translator here is just cleaning up MTL from the R-15 version, so if you want the 8ch of smut that is missing, make an account there and MTL for yourself (just search on reddit for an age verification guide, it's super easy and fast, you can read 1-2 free chap/day.) I liked this series enough that I foolishly paid for the new chapters as they came out, up until c130! Then I finally got fed up and stopped reading. The tension was great in the beginning, but romantic progress is truly a snail's pace and the plot is 95% side quests about the most boring and unimportant side characters.It feels like the author was edging me for over 100 chapters and then went, 'eh, okay, I guess they can be together now, ' before going right back to the boring junk. So unsatisfying!! It feels like the ML is barely in the story at all. I'm down with a slow burn and the frustration of witnessing two idiots fail to realize each other's feelings for years... what I'm not down with, is after they finally get together there's like zero romance and the plot continues being about the most utterly boring yakuza business grudges and looong conversations between MC and former coworkers.I just saw today that it was completed at c148, but I can't even bring myself to finish because I was skimming for most of the past 20 chapters, looking for scenes where MC & ML are even in the same room together. Can't recommend if you're looking for a satisfying romance novel.
