Are There English Translations Of Chasing His Substitute Lover Back?

If you've been hunting for an English version of 'Chasing His Substitute Lover Back', you're definitely not alone — that title has a lot of appeal for people who love messy romantic comebacks and character-driven drama. From what I’ve tracked, there isn't a widely distributed, officially licensed English release available through major publishers like Yen Press, Seven Seas, or VIZ as of the latest reports. That doesn't mean there’s zero English content though; this kind of story often shows up in a few different forms: unofficial fan translations, partial chapter uploads on community sites, or sometimes machine-translated versions posted by enthusiastic readers. The availability depends a lot on whether the original is a novel, a manhua, or a serialized webcomic, and who owns the original license.

If you want to hunt it down, some good places to check are the usual aggregators and fan hubs (think NovelUpdates for novels and aggregated series listings), community-driven scanlation or translation groups that post chapters online, and international platforms where authors sometimes self-upload an English version — Webnovel, Tapas, or even publisher pages if a small imprint picked it up. For manhua-style comics, official localized platforms like Lezhin, Bilibili Comics, or Webtoon occasionally pick up series for English release, but many titles remain unlicensed for years and live in fan-translation spaces. Keep an eye on places where fans discuss releases — Reddit communities, Discord servers, and dedicated Facebook or Tumblr groups often share the latest leads and translation projects.

A few practical tips from my own chasing-around: 1) Search NovelUpdates and MyAnimeList first to see if someone has cataloged it — those listings often link to translation projects or note if a series has official licensing. 2) Check the original author/artist’s social media or the publisher’s site; sometimes they announce English releases or give permission to translators. 3) Look for translator names and their Patreon/Ko-fi — a lot of fan translators migrate to paid models and will host cleaner, higher-quality translations there. 4) Use browser translation extensions if you only find the original language; it’s clunky but sometimes enough to enjoy the plot until an English release appears.

I’ll say this: I love the substitute-lover-turned-target trope for how messy and satisfying it gets, and hunting for translations becomes part of the fun. Just try to support the creators when an official English edition drops, because those publishers and translators are what keep more of these gems being licensed. In the meantime, dive into fan communities — they’re where you’ll usually catch the earliest English reads, and you’ll probably find some really passionate commentary to enjoy along with the chapters.
