I read this as completely wish-fulfillment fantasy and it totally worked for me. The powerful organization they battled against is brought down by the two main characters and they’re offered positions of power in the new organization. But no, they decline and use their back pay to purchase a small starship and proceed to travel from alien market to bizarre planet in search of new adventures – mostly minor. The hunter can now cook. The completely logical agent takes up painting starscapes. It was a completely and utterly simple happy-ending-to-the-story and I found it incredibly satisfying. I need more stories like this. They are the literary equivalent of a warm hug. Completely and utterly satisfactory.

Warning to those using content blockers and reading series like this in very conservative households: ads that occasionally pop up on free reading sites can be very revealing. I once read this on my tablet in the living room and an ad for a dating game with extremely suggestive artwork popped up because of the site’s tracking. Very embarrassing. In addition to these sorts of ads, the comic itself does not hide content. Suggestive thumbnails for upcoming chapters in the series appear. This is not a series you can read discreetly in public, unless you’re very confident or have a way to display private content (e.g. a privacy screen). Read with appropriate consideration for your surroundings.

Translator’s Twitter is worth checking out. Often translators announce updates on their Twitter accounts or on Curious Cat and then link to the appropriate chapter on their free hosting (usually a free blog like WordPress or Blogger). This is because big aggregator sites tend to repost chapters without the translator’s permission, so it’s best to go to the translator’s site directly for the latest, greatest version. Turning translator seems to post update announcements fairly regularly on his Twitter account. A search for his name should turn up recent updates to his work. It’s a lot easier than wading through a bunch of middlemen.

That was a lot of characters for a bunch of essays. Royal Road dot com. That is the post.

I wait for the official physical release of a manhwa and then borrow it from friends or from the library. It takes time, but the translations and editing are superb and I have real physical copies of the work. There are several publishers that have started to license more and more Korean BL such as Seven Seas, TokyoPop, and SuBLime. I prefer to read BL in a sustainable way and not support the greasy ad-revenue aggregators who put up translations of Korean BL for immediate online download for a fee.

Most BL authors, as well as web novel platforms, have email newsletters where they announce Freebie days, sales with special discount codes, etc. They even give away short stories as a special treat to their subscribers. I have a special folder for these newsletters on my email account, and I try to read them once a week. In them, I’ve received complete free novellas, short stories that haven’t been published yet, and even free chapters that are published before the rest of the book.
It may require you to sign up for the newsletter (which some people are really opposed to), but seriously, it’s such a low barrier to entry to get this kind of stuff sent to you on a regular basis. Authors love it because it helps them build their direct audience, and you love it because you get to read free legal fiction on the web without having to seek it out. Just use a burn email or a throwaway to sign up with, is my advice.

Does anyone know where I can read the novel “My Enemy”?

I was just here searching for something. I have a reading list a mile long already, but I wanted to see where this thread went.

Wait. Which Payback is that even? I only know of two BL stories with that title; one’s a Korean novel, most likely, set in a revenge plot, and the other’s a Chinese web novel. Where would I search for that? If it’s the Korean novel then I’d look for the raws on sites like KakaoPage or Ridibooks.
As there is no official English translation available for ‘Payback’, we rely on fan efforts to translate this BL novel. I recommend checking out the Korean BL communities on Discord, as these channels are usually sorted by title and completed translations are linked. Note that most of these servers require an invite link, which can be found on the Twitter accounts of the translators or in the respective server’s descriptions. Although it may require a bit more effort, translated content on these servers is usually very well formatted and up-to-date.

Just reading the recommendations. This term “projection novel” is new to me, but I do like BL+sci-fi/fantasy. Following this thread for ideas.
