Everyone should probably read this manhwa, so seed it and share it until they do.

Half/most of the images are no better than what you can find in online manga readers.
All of the images were massively bloated, it looks like someone took JPGs and converted them into uncompressed PNGs, some ending up as large as 16MB/image.
I converted these back to JPGs, to preserve as much detail as possible i disabled color subsampling and used 98% quality setting, as a result the new files are on average 7-8% of the ‘originals’ size, but the same quality, so instead of ~8GB you only have to download and archive ~520MB.
I also replaced 3-4 chapters in the last volume with slightly better quality ones and fixed 2 images in photoshop, plus i removed most of the credits and intro images, one per volume is enough, and speaking of volumes, MAL says there are 7 of them, but i couldn’t find what chapter whent in which so i guesstimated.
This is not an official translation or english release (i wish it was).
You can just unzip the volumes if you want individual chapters or to read them as images, i used to read them like that until i found continuous scrolling (using SumatraPDF as a cbr/cbz reader).
Again please seed it, at least until you finish reading it, all you have to do is literally nothing, i won’t be able to seed this for more than a few months.
2021 January edit:

@Ahmad_o thanks, but it’s only been 17 months and there are 0 seeds, so i decided to seed it again for a little while i also uploaded it to mega https://mega.nz/file/SFRznCTB#hW3LWqnw0SkwIQxkiqjpfasIB4ZJsp-LDUOO5e0dUhg
@SomaHeir you’re welcome, but just because it’s a manwha or anything else you shouldn’t have predetermined judgments about it, that’s like people saying anime is for kids while they openly go to the cinema to watch Frozen and other Disney stuff, what else could be more for kids than Disney ? well until they made the Mandalorian…
I only started reading manwha 1-2 years ago and actually some of my favorites are manwha, stuff like Solo Leveling, Tales of Demons and Gods, The Beginning After the End and of course Skill of Lure.
I got really tired of bad japanese cliches, like not finishing sentences, bullying the MC and not allowing him to fight back (this is supposed to be funny?), weak endings, etc. so to me manwha are a very welcome change.
@Styx235 i read most manwha online, i only upload stuff that i find here and needs fixing, like this torrent or adding an english track from a massively bloated rip to a reasonably sized one, it’s just stuff i do for myself anyway, so i share some of them. I don’t have a quick way of downloading hundreds of chapters (that are already freely and easily available), so there is no point in uploading them here (other than archiving maybe)

I remember this was a good one. Unfortunalely, Lezhin did not licence it in English for some reason.
Also, seems like the author/artist did not continue writing after his last work Pervert Club got cancelled.

lol Japanese not finishing sentences isn’t a cliche, it’s cultural. They rely on context, and contextual implications a lot - the listener/conversation partner has to put in effort to understand what is being communicated. They often drop so many grammatical elements from their informal speech that if you were to do a literal translation it would sound hilariously vague in English. A lot of shitty translation work people complain about in CR subs (at least historically) is a result of the translator working too quickly and not interpreting context/subject/object correctly. It’s pretty annoying.
