Stardew Valley isekai except Stardew Valley is experiencing dungeons and corruption etc. Look at the cover - it could be so them (HJYJ) during the Stardew Valley portion of the Sysadmin games...

Anyway MC = Kang Raon, and ML = Carlisle Lightinger.

MC wakes up in the stardew valley equivalent world, except as a player he had married every single romanceable female NPC and 1 notoriously difficult-to-woo male NPC in the game, and then divorced them after their storylines were done to move to the next target. And all the NPCs remember this. He is everyone's despicable heartbreaker ex-husband.

Overall plot was frankly Okay-ish. Cute, but the ending does get a bit rushed and not all the aspects are well-thought out and actually get used. Overall I'd say 6.5/10?

But I can't stop thinking of the HJYJ AU possibilities. You would definitely need to change some of the things up - but all of those would be ways which might actually tighten up the plot. Frankly it wouldn't even need to be a complete AU - this could the what if instead of Game of Life being set in Mirangloon, it combined with the Stardew Valley segment instead.

S-Classes Ask Game!

5. 💀 share one unpopular opinion about s-class canon

I don't know if this is really unpopular or enough of us just haven't got to these parts of the story, but I do really like Huang Lin a lot! I don't think I have seen much with him in fandom yet. I find him very funny and was instantly intrigued by him even in China arc, but much much more so when we meet him again from Chatterbox arc onwards. I love how openly he flirts with Yoojin (and how openly Yoojin ogles him!!), and he's one character I really wish fandom gives a bit more love to somehow, because I also just really want to see him explored as a character more seriously? SPOILERS about Huang Lin from here onwards but I thought for sure we were going to get that in Afterwards, and I think there were hints and I enjoyed the appearances he did get, but I think the Afterwards getting cut short meant Guenseo didn't get time to do all they planned with him. MAJOR SPOILERS: But he's a young Chinese-American guy who seems to have been brought up in the US, 2nd son of a rich business family, S-rank awakened living it up who nonetheless goes and joins the Chinese army to prevent an apocalyptic plot and who one day suddenly gets contacted by otherwordly entities and as he gets tangled in it all, he 'realizes' he's actually a fake person who didn't even exist until a few months back. Does his family even really exist? If they exist, is that discomfort of being the only one who knows all the memories are fake why he latches on to Song Taewon and Yoojin so hard? Or do they just straight up not really exist? Has he told anyone this?! There is a hint of the start of a conversation around this with Yoojin at one point, but it gets cut short and never brought up again because S-Classes ended. I also loved his interactions with Sigma and The Puppeteer; and also the idea of his adventures bodyguarding/babysitting Gyeol and tiny Sung Hyunjae; and of course his relationship with Song Taewon and I do much want to see more of him and things exploring his perspective and background! I also maybe kinda tiny bit ship him with Sigma tbh, in a "fantastic potential that needs to be explored" way. 'Younger brothers' of Song Taewon and Sung Hyunjae but with their personalities flipped; and meanwhile the older brother of 'Han Yoojin' aka The Puppeteer is fluttering around being over-protective of Sigma his beautiful prized napa cabbage against this 'froggy bastard' of a pig. 🤣 I think the potential is just immense and I can't believe the Afterwards completely dropped it after Huang Lin was Sleeping Beauty Sigma's bodyguard for so long! Also his being Sigma's boyfriend would be super funny from the perspective of the way both Gyeol and Sung Hyunjae bully him so much. I also think he should have a fling which turns into becoming best friends with Helen Kim from the Side Stories/Afterwords.

7. 🛸 share one fan-theory that you currently have and believe whole-heartedly

I shared one here, but speaking of Afterwards getting cut short and this time going for Doylistic conspiracy theory instead, I do think chances are high Jayplemedia really has some beef with this property and that Geunseo got told they have to wrap up Afterwards stat with maybe a month of so of grace. 😢 Such a sudden announcement AND not even any author Q&As after completion?! Makes no sense.

16. 🤯 one s-class headcanon

Out of the Sung Hyunjae, Song Taewon and Han Yoojon trio, Han Yoojin is the only one who has at least some prior sexual experience. Because getting horny and clingy is how "post-raid rush" manifests in low-rank hunters, and also at his lowest points, that was the easiest way to get some positive human contact (and it was largely positive, in a friendly but matter-of-fact and no-strings-attached kind of way)

23. 🌍 favorite bit of worldbuilding?

Honestly I just love everything about its worldbuilding so much. It's a world that feels real, every tiny thing feels like its been thought about. I love how very clear it is that different countries and cultures all have completely different approaches to Hunters and Dungeons, I love the actually serious/well thought out exploration of how vulnerable people could be taken advantage of in such a world, and how obviously that would happen, no doubt about it but also that people would also be working to put a stop to things like that. But I also love all the tiny discussions about like economy of dungeon products and dungeon food, and how once awakening became safe, even though most people are F-ranks, people still choose to Awaken because Inventory is just so convenient! It is! Inventory would be SO convenient! People would 100% awaken just for Inventory! But I think my favorite part is how characters very clearly keep growing and doing things whether or not Han Yoojin is aware of them/around them. You'll have someone who doesn't show up in the narrative for a while, but when they do, they aren't still at that same stagnant point, they have clearly been up to things and grown from it, even if we didn't get to see that first hand. Really makes every single person no matter how minor feel real, and worthy enough to get their own full-fledged spin-off.

I actually want to ask you about the source to read a classes that I raised

I know you talked about them before.

I read before from SF translations and I really liked them then I dropped the novel for a while. Now I want to reread but there are other translation in nu

Which I've do you think better and more accurate? SF or the new one in nu Mattreading translation??

I want to ask you about something else 🥺

It seems you really enjoyed this novel is not my novel.i like it too but the thing that makes me reluctant to read it is the fact that mc is engaged 🥲I really don't like romance and I see potential in romance between him and his fiancée. I know they signed a contract to break off the engagement but I highly doubt it's gonna happen...you know that cliche especially since the fiancée obviously gonna love him

Hi Anon!!

SFS is definitely a lot more accurate.

I think initially SFS's early chapters were a bit spotty, because they were continuing off of another previous translation, and were learning the language 'on the job' so there was more MTL-editing earlier. But from what I know, now they are doing a proper translation, and I think they have also gone back and redone the translations of some early chapters.

I think some of the early chapters on Mattreading are quite good, but unfortunately the quality of later chapters seems to have deteriorated, with a lot of mistakes on the pronouns of characters (last I read, Gyeol was being translated as being a girl), and even character names (Seok Simyeong is Seok Gimyeong for some reason, even though those are two different characters! SGY is a minor one-off character, and SSY is a minor recurring character). My current understanding is that MR translation is actually lightly edited MTL, possibly using the OpenNovel platform or something similar. That said, I haven't kept up with this one anymore, so I am not sure if the quality has improved again or not.

It's still readable and of course, the MR translation is a lot further along than SFS.

That said, if you want to read the chapters beyond SFS, I would actually whole-heartedly recommend @tele-portal's MTL translations. They are 100% completed including Side Stories and After Stories, and in my opinion the quality is as good, or even slightly better than some of the later MR chapters, which is almost certainly MTL anyway. And it is one of the best and most readable/natural MTL translations I have encountered till date. Someone could it passed this off as actual translation and I would have believed it - huge kudos to tele-portal for being truthful and upfront about the nature of the work!

Also taking the opportunity to yap about the 18+ fandom server on discord! We have just started a server reread/readalong (we are on Ch 20ish right now, 5 chapters per week), so definitely come join if this sounds like something that would be of interest!

Re: This Novel is Not My Novel - as far as I can tell, it doesn't seem likely that the het relationship would take center-stage over the MC's relationship with the "original MC". The author's other novel Duke, Please Repent also seems to be classified in "Non-BL BL", and that's how this one is reading so far.

I have not read Duke, Please Repent however, so IDK if eventually the het wins or not. The fiancee character in This Novel is Not My Novel, Vigdis, is very cool, and the MC clearly cares about her - but she is also very much a secondary character.

I would say it's actually a fairly Scum Villain (without explicit BL) sort of situation going on here, because in the "original novel" that MC has transmigrated into as a minor villain, had all the female characters including the fiancee eventually becoming a series of love-interests for the "original MC" (Leysir/Raysir) (but given the genre was tragedy, all of them eventually died off one-by-one, so no harem), so he actually keeps thinking about them 'naturally' eventually catching feelings for the "original MC".

S-Classes Ask Game!

3. 👏 what guild would you join?

S-Classes Ask Game!

Lol that's a great combination 😂

10. 🍡 if you could only choose one forever - sung hyunjae’s food or yoo myeongwoo’s food?

Genuinely tough to choose, because I do love Korean food a lot but I also have a massive sweet tooth. Neither of them are actually likely to cook for me though. 🥲 But maybe SHJ might muscle-memory remember some dishes from completely non-Earth cultures, so infinite variety potential could be there! (And mana sugar invention, can't forget the health benefits!) So I'll choose SHJ!

25. 🥵 choose one: song taewon's tits, moon hyuna's arms, huang lin's thighs or sung hyunjae's face.
