The chains tightened around my neck, pulling me forward. I was forcefully lifted and met Sung Hyunjae’s gaze. “Speak.” “…Do you know how annoying you are? Always acting like you’re the best in the world.” “I wouldn’t say I'm the only one, but it’s true that I’m quite exceptional, isn’t it?” His casual admission made me let out a hollow laugh. I felt a curse about to slip out. “I must’ve been crazy to worry about you.” “But, Han Yoojin-gun…” A gloved hand reached toward me. It sifted through my hair, moving down to search around my ear. He was undoubtedly looking for Grace. “You must still feel sorry for me, even now.” “Well, Sung Hyunjae-ssi also got caught up in this, didn’t you? No matter how great you are, it’s still a fact. You were kidnapped, robbed…” His hand touched my neck, which was wrapped in chains. Unable to find Grace, he snapped the interpreter item and broke it. “Why did you do that?!” “You could hide it by pretending it’s another item.” …Wow, aren’t you clever. With just his fingertip, he pressed the button on my shirt collar and pop, ripped it off. “Or maybe it could be disguised as not an item at all.” “Wow, great idea. Why not just block my nose and mouth too?” “I like hearing Han Yoojin-gun's voice.” Damn it. “So, the explanation?” “Go to hell.” “There was a time when Han Yoojin-gun threatened to undress me, wasn’t there?” For a moment, I was speechless. What? Crazy? When did I ever? […] “What in the…” I was about to shout “What nonsense is that?” when I suddenly remembered. Could it be… the yarn? The time I threatened to unravel it? “You have no shame!” “My small and cute pink conscience has already been sent away.” Another button was ripped off, and the chains shifted, spinning my body around. […] “I like not only Han Yoojin’s voice but his face as well.” [...] Part of Sung Hyunjae’s glove melted, as if it were being burned away. Yet, he did not let go of the chain. Instead, he reached out toward me. It looked as though black eyes were reflected in his golden pupils. And I was smiling too. The chain pulled, and the tangled sword was drawn in, lifting my body. Sung Hyunjae’s hand grasped my neck. My hand seized his wrist. [...] I could feel Sung Hyunjae’s mana beneath my palm. Then, the power within my arm surged toward his. His golden eyes trembled for a moment. I was clearly smiling. It felt as though both our arms, containing the same mana, were merging, and in that moment, we were completely fused together.

I aspire to be like Geunseo one day. In what way? Writing all the common tropes of BL in an action fantasy webnovel and making it more tender and sus than even official BL but never adding the BL tag in the work itself 🤣🤣🤣

내가 키운 S급들 | The S-Classes that I Raised Korean physical novel pre-order for release 26 December 2024
instagram
A 5-volume physical release of the novel (not the manhwa adaptation) for 내가 키운 S급들 | The S-Classes that I Raised has been announced! It is currently up for order and will be available in December!
Store link (more in the Instagram post; JPLEMEDIA is the publisher for the series)
Twitter link
Onlyraii's post on it, as they drew art for the release (Onlyraii drew the current novel art used for the single chapter release)
A preview of the goods (twitter):
Geunseo also helped to compose a song for this (Track 11).
Unlike the previously unsuccessful crowdfunding physical release, this seems to just be on sale.
The series is 35 volumes in ebooks, so I'm not sure if this is a reformatted version or it's just the first 5 volumes, with more to come. I would imagine it's the latter. All the (current) ebooks in Korean are available on multiple sites, including Ridibooks. More info on the series here.

I have read Geunseo's author commentary and other translator's translation notes so I know for a fact that the way Yoojin and Sung Hyunjae interact is more akin to a perfunctory customer service dialogue and that can't be translated over to english as seamlessly BUT
Being an english reader it is actually hilarious trying not to read into their interactions. They just go off the rails all the time and say and DO things that are questionable at best. And I know there's supposed to be a level of distance in their social hierarchy (respecting people older and in better standing that yourself?) but WHY does SHJ act like that.
#Geunseo you doomed your readers to be lead astray.#sctir#tsctir#s classes that i raised#han yoojin#HYJ#sung hyunjae#SHJ#it's supposed to be like yoojin: disrespectful tone but using polite words#sung hyunjae: talking and acting like an older man#but then you get shit like SHJ: if you want to sleep in my bed you can?#HYJ: *read 10:55 P.M.

S-Classes novel SPOILERS chapter 470
some thoughts after translating this chapter. as I've translated this arc, I've become fully convinced that the confession/rejection subplot was intentionally presented in parallel with sung hyunje 'breaking up' with yoojin in order to repeatedly bash the reader over the head with the funny narrative device of "you think he's saying all this romance and heartbreak-related stuff about a woman, but he's actually thinking about sung hyunje!!"
I already explained how the korean word for 'getting rejected' also means 'getting broken up with' (차이다). so when the characters mention yoojin being rejected (by chloe), you could also read it as him being broken up with... and because korean often leaves out pronouns and the subjects/objects of actions and requires readers to fill the meaning in by context, it makes the ironic ambiguity even stronger. the story is repeatedly prompting the reader to fill in for themselves who yoojin is really heartbroken over.
then this section in chap 470 is wild, because WHY is it structured like this?
"[...] I still think it's fine to like whatever or whomever you want. No matter how it turns out." Because liking people and things brought joy and could even bring comfort. It was a positive feeling, in any case. Of course, you could also struggle because of it. I had. But even then, I didn't think I would regret any of it. Even if I were to lose it all once more, if I went back, I'd still end up liking them all again. I mean Sung Hyunje, too… He wasn't bad… well... he had put me through some crazy situations. Still, there'd been fun times too. That one time it had been delicious, yeah. That other time it had also been tasty. That one restaurant had suited my palate well. Naturally, Myungwoo's cooking was the best, but he fussed too much about my health. Though it really was amazing that healthy food could still taste that good. "Of course, I shouldn't go falling head over heels and giving up my heart on a silver platter," I said. "But I'm going to do what I like." It wasn't a big change, but how should I put it? I guess I would focus more on prioritizing myself. At my words, Yoohyun's expression became gloomier. "I understand, hyung. She's a foreigner, anyway." "…What?"
like what is the logical connection between these thoughts for yoojin that isn't 'I might have romantically-inclined feelings for this guy I keep thinking about'? how else am I supposed to read it? he's been comforting himself about how it's okay to like people, says he would like the same people even if he had to do things over again, and the one example of those people he brings up is... sung hyunje? he starts reminiscing about hyunje... cooking for him? (he doesn't even specify that the "delicious" things he's talking about are food at first)
and then right after those reminiscences about the fun times he had with hyunje, yoojin says he won't go too far in loving people, but he'll still do what he likes? he'll prioritize himself, aka act selfishly? the very thing he said he was going to do by refusing to let sung hyunje go? the story really smacks you in the face with the conclusion it wants you to draw.
also of course yoohyun misunderstands that yoojin's talking about chloe, because all of his sung hyunje-focused thoughts are internal!! even yoojin himself is confused at who/what yoohyun is even talking about at first because all yoojin's been thinking about is sung hyunje! (and maybe because in korean yoohyun doesn't specify 'she', so yoojin's thought process might've been like mine, thinking "huh, can shj really be called a foreigner?" before understanding yoohyun's just not privy to yoojin's gay inner monologue).
#also in the Q&A about yj's ideal type geunseo said that if yj dated an older partner he'd be at risk of exactly what he said he shouldnt do#giving up his liver and gallbladder i.e. giving up everything (what i translated as 'giving up his heart on a silver platter')#so at least yoojin's aware of his weak points#sctir#jinjae#hjyj#my s class hunters#jinje

You know, personally i never talked enough out here about Whatever The Fuck is happening between Moon Hyuna and Evelyn Miller.
Because there's just. So Much. Going on.
They really despise each other. With waaay more passion than necessary. But apparently they used to be closer in the past, before breaking apart, and suddenly, Lots of spite there.....
The plot also has them interact a Lot, especially in the second half of the novel.... And their interactions are always reeeally charged.........
Almost like author-nim is trying to tell us something...............
#geunseo has a “bitter exes” hyuna/evelyn agenda i just know it#i first noticed in the early 100s chapters and it just#keeps#going#i am currently catching up to the extras i missed from the ebooks#and Wouldnt You Know#more Hyuna and Evelyn having strangely charged phone calls there#sctir#sctir spoilers#sctir extras#moon hyuna#evelyn miller

“If you don’t solve the problem at its root, it’ll be hard for you to change. Leaving the rotten interior be and only painting over the surface will only make you crack again.”
“…The root?”
…….
I exhaled a long breath. Yeah, I shouldn’t worry. What could I do about my heart having rotted? What could I do about the fact that if you dug out the rot, there’d be nothing left? That was why I was just barely hanging on, clutching to the arms wrapped around me.
So, what if his insides were rotten?

...suddenly a breaking news ticker appeared. [Seseong Guild Leader Sung Hyunjae, Wedding Scheduled for January 1st.] …Huh? I blinked. What? What? Gyeol and I both gaped. It was time, I guess. He was planning to get married before he turned forty. Since next year would be the last year of his thirties, I could understand. No matter how you look at it, thirties and forties feel different, right? Yeah, better do it before it’s too late. It’s sudden, but I can understand. Wait a minute, though—he didn’t get married before the regression, did he? And who is he marrying? Wasn't he dating no one? The first of January wasn’t far off, so why rush into a wedding as if frying beans in a flash of lightning? Is he showing his skill attributes by getting married suddenly? – Ah, ah. Gyeol, who was about to call out to me, closed his mouth again. As expected, Sanchez, who had been staring at the TV in shock, spoke to us. [...] At Sanchez's words, Gyeol tugged on my shoulder and shouted. – Dad, is that real?! “Well, I don’t know. I never saw any signs of dating. Did they fall for each other during a party or something?” Could that be it? But with who? No matter how hard I thought, I couldn’t think of anyone who might have been in a relationship with Sung Hyunjae. After all, that guy wasn’t the type to take an interest in anyone... It wouldn’t be Chief Song, would it? Surely not. But then again, who else could it be but Chief Song? What is this? Could this only happen in America? Both are Korean, so they’d have to follow Korean law. Could they have gotten U.S. citizenship in just five days? For an S-class hunter, dual citizenship would be easy to obtain. ...So where should I send my congratulatory gift? Sung Hyunjae is rich, so should I send it to Chief Song? No, wait, there’s no way those two are getting married! I don’t know about Sung Hyunjae, but there’s no way Chief Song would go along with that! – Dad, dad, are you okay? “Uh, yeah. But seriously, who’s bold enough to... Did they fall for his face? You shouldn’t marry someone just for their looks. Though, he is quite wealthy.” Marriage, huh? I wonder if Sung Hyunjae’s wedding will have a buffet. Who will sit at the family seats? I’ve never heard anything about the Seseong Guild Leader’s parents. But since we’re somewhat close, should I offer to MC the wedding? Usually, it’s a friend of the groom who does it. But I can’t have Chief Song do it. [It has not yet been confirmed, but they are said to be an S-class awakened.] The announcer's voice echoed from the TV. What? S-class? No way, it can’t really be Chief Song, can it?! [The individual was spotted to be a woman in her twenties, but nothing is confirmed–] “Do you have no conscience?!” Even if she’s in her late twenties, that’s a ten-year age gap! No way, I can’t MC this wedding. If by any chance it turns out to be a young woman in her early twenties, I’ll ruin this wedding myself for the sake of business honor. After that, the TV didn’t offer any more useful information. S-class hunters even make breaking news with things like this, huh? Well, if they marry a foreigner and move to another country, it would become a national issue. I looked at Sanchez with desperate eyes. “Aren’t you curious about what’s going on? I happen to have the direct number of the Seseong Guild Leader, so just one call–let me make one call!” [...] However, Sanchez shook his head firmly and told me to wait here before stepping outside again. [...]
“Sung Hyunjae-ssi, if this marriage that was announced today is something you wanted, please strike me with lightning right now.” Three seconds. 3, 2, 1. No lightning. Guess I can go ahead and stop this. [...]
“What the hell is Sung Hyunjae up to? Is he really too busy to send a single message?” I opened the messaging app. [America’s Hero^^] I saw my last message to Sung Hyunjae, where I had cursed at him. It was nonsense after he had complimented my outfit, saying it looked good on me. “…I guess we’ve sort of become friends, huh.” So I couldn’t pretend I didn’t know. [If you don’t send a wedding invitation by today, I’m coming for you.] [...] Come to think of it, how many times has this happened now? His birthday party invite, he ghosted me without replying, then I barged in and blew up his house. The cruise was wrecked, and the hotel wasn’t spared either. So Sung Hyunjae must have intentionally not sent the invitation, knowing I'd ruin the wedding venue. Was that the signal he was sending, that he wanted me to destroy it? [...] “Yerim-ie, I guess we’ll have to attend the wedding too.”

You know how in children's cartoons they have really strict guidelines about not being allowed to include character death etc. so the writers came up with things way worse than death to do to characters? I think Geunseo did that with jinjae but about gay sex.

Things Geunseo-nim got away with (through sheer determination, madness, and a LOT of extremely specific context) while writing Han Yoojin and Sung Hyunje's relationship:
(Beware of spoilers up to the latest "side stories" chapters. Also yes, all of this is canon)
Sleeping on the same bed.
Taking each other's clothes off.
Hyunje tying Yoojin up. A lot. With glee.
Also choking him and pushing him against various surfaces (including Hyunje's own body).
So much touching in general just. So much.
Having a biological child together.
Yoojin calling Hyunje handsome and perfect with an average of once every 1.3 chapters.
Yoojin saying Hyunje is his ideal type.
Yoojin going on and on about how handsome and perfect Hyunje is for so long - in a single conversation, while Hyunje cooks for him - that Hyunje has to point out he's not part of the menu.
Yoojin giving up a chance to save the world to save Hyunje.
Saying "i love you" to each other.
Planning to raise kids together.
Planning to live together.
Getting married.
#sctir#the s classes that i raised#the side stories are wild#they're not really gayer than what happened in the main novel#just....... author-nims dares to go a little further with the “”jokes“”#they just love each other a lot and are enjoying the honeymoon phase#they're not even been physically reunited yet after the epilogue of the main novel but they're working on it#it's pretty much the only thing Yoojin is thinking about at this point#jinje#hjyj#han yoojin#sung hyunje#tsctir
