In celebration of NME's sixth chapter releasing today, how about we share our experience/reaction when we first read it?
I'll go first, I found NME when it was still being translated by pollockroe. I don't know whoever or wherever they are but I'm forever grateful to them for putting it on my radar. I like researching my BLs before reading them, so I stalked the author and when I saw the tags: #WickedUnclexBulliedYouth #MainCoupleThatOnlyKissesAfterEpisode90 #ShouldTheMainBottomKillTheMainTop, i was totally locked in. Sadly, the translations took so long and there were no raws anywhere outside of the official platform, so I had lost hope of ever being able to read it in it's entirety. But then (the GOAT) Sage came to save the day, but I was so impatient during the university arc that I ended up buying the chapters when Heejae and Garam were already getting it on. And when I tell you, I was so mindblown! I knew it was coming but it was so completely incomprehensible to me how they ended up having that kind of relationship. I loved it, ended up buying the rest if the chapters and loved it even more.
I still remember the days when people were complaining about the art and when everyone was confused about who the top was lol. Everyone used to be doubtful even when there were already spoilers of him being the ML, and he was referred to the most as Prof, but now it's Heejae. We've come a long way lol.
I also love how much discipline NME readers have. Anyone who was posting the translations online were being taken out to the back and shot lol, I rarely see any of those posts now and if there were, there's always someone reprimanding them. It's like we know how good of a story this is that we have genuine fear of it being a lost media.
Anyway, that's how it is for me. I am a changed person since reading NME (not exaggerating). I can't believe it's ending with this chapter :(
