Yandere! Cale would look like:

Ver: Self-Sacrifice type, aka Jiko-giseigata | (自己犠牲型)

He would sacrifice his everything for you. He'd protect you from the line of fire and lay down his life for you- even if you don't want him to.

"You can't leave me behind, we're supposed to go through this world together, through hell and back." He looks back at you, his shield sparking bright against the darkness and he smiles brokenly, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"That's what we promised, didn't we- my love?" and his shield shatters, the shield that was the hope of his citizens, and originally his own- because what use was it when he had found something other than money to love?

You.

"Cale!" your pained scream at watching him fall to his knees, the prideful, strong, ever beautiful man you loved coughing up blood as his broken arms shake at his side.

Cale's light breaths waver as you rush to his side and his eyes are quickly losing their mischievous twinkle. You cradle him in your lap, blood soaking through your clothes as you cry, trying to use your healing magic on him but he shakes his head weakly.

You don't stop trying, pale green enrobing him as he looks up at you with one thought on his mind. What look you would have when he eventually returned from the dead.

Of course he had a backup plan, how could he throw away his life when his love was still alive and well? All according to plan, he was dying in front of you and breaking your heart as he did.

Well, don't they say a broken heart lasts longer than a simple farewell?

Cale chuckles in his mind as his eyes closed and the last of your wails of his name echo in the darkness.

Ultramarine's Ridibooks Guide

A (hopefully) simple guide to how to use Ridibooks!

What is Ridibooks? Ridibooks is a website where you can read all kinds of webtoons, novels, and books in Korean. It also has an app (for mobile and PC)! Ridibooks has the advange compared to other similar platforms such as Kakao and Naver of not being region-locked, so it might be your only option to read some manhwas in Korean.

Is the site safe? Yep! It's one of the major manhwa platforms, and I've used it many times.

How do I use it? Firstly, you have to make an account (top-right corner of your screen, 👤 icon). I recommend using Chrome or other browsers with a MTL function, so the page is easier for you to navigate.

Buying manhwas and novels. I'll use WMMAP as an example! Search 어느 날 공주가 되어버렸다 (WMMAP in Korean). You'll see you have 4 options. Buying the manhwa per chapter (200 won for rental, 500 won for purchase), buying the manhwa per volume (7,500 won each), buying the novel per volume (2,310 won for rental, 3,300 won for purchase), and buying the novel per chapter (100 won each).

Let's say we want to buy the manhwa per chapter.

Once you click on that option for purchase, you'll see that the site gives you two options, renting a chapter (200 won) or purchasing a chapter (500 won). Choose accordingly to what you want, but be aware that the site checks the rental option by default! So you have to go to the "keep it" tab if you want to buy it.

Also, consider that WMMAP's chapters can be unlocked for free (1 each day, available to read for 3 days), excluding the last 10 chapters.

Ridi Cash. As most manhwa platforms, Ridibooks has its own currency, Ridi Cash (much like Tapas' ink or Tappytoon's points), that you need to buy to then purchase manhwas or novels. It's worth almost the same as won, but with a 3% accumulation rate. Selecting the "Ridi Cash" option in your user profile will allow you to recharge the currency.

There, you can choose how much you want to charge. It's likely that the only payment method available to you is an overseas credit card (any should work), so you'll have to check that box (also remember to check the purchase confirmation!).

After that, you just write your credit card information, and you should be ready to buy your favorite manhwa or novel! They'll be available for you to read in your library (top-right corner of your screen, 📚 icon).

So I want to read TWSB, in Novel format; is Kakaopage a legitimate site the author is okay with, or do they use another one to update the story?

Also, is what they use USA bank friendly or will I need to find a way to make a Korean Bank Account?

Hi!! Yes, Kakaopage is one of the platforms where TWSB is officially published! the other more well-known ones are Munpia (the main publisher site) and Ridibooks (my personal go-to)

Sadly I'm not that familiar with Kakaopage since I just don't like using it haha (you also need a korean number to sign up iirc). Ridibooks is more simple and easy to understand, AND it's foreign bank issued card friendly, so it should be able to accept USA bank! If you read on browser, you can also easily MTL the chapters (unlike on the app, where MTL is quite literally impossible haha,,, cant even take screenshots either). Also make sure it is the webnovel you are purchasing and not the ebook. You can only read the ebook on the app and if you don't understand korean you will not be able to read anything wlfhddksk so make sure it's the webnovel you are purchasing!

If you're interested, I also answered a similar Ask! It has some info and steps that could be helpful for purchasing chapters on Ridibooks!

Found a few people wondering whether it's true that Keilusa and Kishiar are half-brothers, and at first I was like, "Oh, that info's in ch.11." But then I was like, "I should double-check and make sure."

So I checked ch.11 on Ridibooks and found the sentence half where the relation is stated: 기껏해야 키시아르 라 오르와 하나뿐인 동복형제 사이였다는 것, 죽기 전 병을 얻어 신하들 앞에서조차 모습을 제대로 드러내지 않은 날이 몇 년이나 되었었다는 것, 죽은 뒤 황위를 물려받은 태자가 친자가 아닌 양자 출신이었다는 것 정도였다.

It's this specific word: 동복형제. This specific word for "half-brother" is used when a pair of brothers have the same mother. After that I found conflicting information that stated "same mother, different fathers" or "same mother, so presumed same father, this actually means 'full brothers' ha ha."

So I'm deferring to those who know Korean better than a machine.

Reflections on Chapter 14

A flashback drenched in shadows opens Chapter 14. TJ negotiated with attorneys over Ian’s murder charge - a crime so ruthlessly precise that even he couldn’t spin it as self-defense. He pushed for a two-year prison sentence, coldly pragmatic. But the real tragedy here? Ian’s hollow aftermath. He kept asking himself if there was something he should feel - guilt, remorse, anything. But there was nothing. Just… numbness. He knew cold-blooded violence wasn’t right, wasn’t human. Yet Ian - oh, Ian - when suffering cracks a person’s soul, sometimes all that’s left is emptiness.

The scene shifts: Ian kneeled before Jason and TJ, still wearing that bloodstained white tee, pleading that he couldn’t do it anymore. Let me go. Even Jason, with his usual steel, admitted Ian’s heart was never in this work—he’d been a square peg in a bloody round hole from the start. Jason was ready to cut him loose, but TJ? TJ didn’t want to. He needed Ian anchored to the gang, to him. Then there’s the prison sentence. Was it truly the lightest sentence possible… or was TJ scheming to trap him? Jason’s furrowed brows and clipped silence speak skepticism. Reading between the lines: that two-year stint? A calculated play. Ian’s stacking debts: protection fees, compound interest - until Ian’s drowning in obligations even Jason calls suicidal. “He’ll kill himself trying to pay it back.”

So answer me, TJ: Is this how you prove love - by chaining someone to you with debt and guilt? Crushing their freedom under “protection” and moral duty? If you’re so confident he’d choose you, why the desperation? Why the Machiavellian strings? You’re such a monster, TJ. 

TJ lingers over the photo Jo took of him during their fleeting balcony encounter - but wait. How did a shot from Jo’s phone end up in his possession? The answer comes with implication, especially since TJ’s quietly hoarded a photo of Jo in return. Does he sense the low-key connection pulling Jo and Ian together? He knows Ian’s track record of casual flings for sure, yet it’s Jo who catches his attention. Even Yangji admires Jo’s handsome looks, that he takes a picture of Jo on his phone, which, as revealed in next chapter, cast a shadow on Jo and his resentment to TJ. 

The unspoken truth? TJ isn’t just watching. He’s curating. Every glance, every stolen image, a thread in the web he’s spinning. And when that photo resurfaces in the next chapter, it won’t just cast a shadow, it’ll ignite the war.

Jo’s meticulously planned stargazing trip collapses sadly when his beloved white SUV - the college-era clunker he’s clung to for five loyal years at least - gets stolen in broad daylight outside the camera shop. (Wait, is this New York or San Francisco? Since when do daylight car heists happen in New York?). ‘Cuz he is so upset, he vents to Ian, mourning the loss like it’s crybaby ((Jo’s deer mode materializes at this), while Ian bites back a smirk. Let’s be real: the car’s a rustbucket. But that’s the point. Jo doesn’t love things; he loves stories. Sentimental to a fault. That could hint something about Jo’s personality: he’s loyal to his beloved. The car must be so special to him, that when he is able to get a new one, it is still the same car.

Ian managed to make them a spot to do stargazing by dragging them to the rooftop of some crumbling building. He also prepared for the night so he can’t miss it again to have some privacy with Jo. Just the two of them. Just enough beer to blur the line between “friends” and… well, you know what I mean. When Ian suggested this is also a good place to have a beer, Jo is looking at him, and his heart starts to race, and you know this initiates the feeling of love in him. Probably the moment he knows he’s fallen for someone. 

“Should I take some photos of you?��� Jo blurts, face burning. I want to remember this. I want to remember you when you’re here with me.

Today it is announced that RIDI is collabing with printing box Korea for a limited amount of time and the first special code is for Under the Oak Tree!

I'll put the code down bellow if any of you want to print it~ (or who knows if any of you need my help to print those lol just hmu !><)

Let's see whats the next printing box code! So eggcited~

[pendwelling]

strange question, but how are you reading TWSB past the 550~ chapter mark?

Oh not a strange question at all!

Sadly there is no way to read TWSB past the 550s in English because as of yet, there's just no translation. I personally prefer Ridibooks since it's the platform that's easiest for me to use (as well as machine translation friendly on browser)(NOT the app haha, you can't MTL on that,,) and TWSB's MTL is relatively? easy to understand imo so if you're interested, you should have no big trouble!

Here's the official Ridibooks link.

And if you need a bit of a guide for how to purchase chapters, then you can reference this post that I made a while back!

"Kwon Jaekyoung was always like this. Even though he acted like the most cunning and clever person in the world, he would somehow become this clumsy, childlike man sometimes."

— Jiheon's perspective on Jaekyoung's personality (대쉬 vol.2)

I highly second this because Jaekyoung is such a simp for Jiheon. He might be blunt and too obvious about it, but I love how he's down bad for Jiheon that he'd do everything for him even if he'll be throwing away his career just to end their athlete-agent relationship and finally be more intimately as real lovers.

Though he sometimes pisses me off with his arrogant attitude, somehow it was kind of tolerable and I love to see how Jiheon tames this big bad wolf.

Its really rare to see semes that are simps to their ukes (even though I've seen several already but yeah my point still stands) so I'm adding 대쉬 as one of those BLs that has a possessive simp seme.

(almost done with volume 2 yay! cant wait to see their real progress and development towards romance bec i know both of them still has a long way to go, and so does for me reading all the volumes. btw this quote excerpt came from the smut chapter lol)

read it on ridibooks.
