I wonder if Hwa Ryun and Yihwa have some prior history, they seem to know each other.
Reading over the chapter again, it was quite funny really, especially the conversation between Hwa Ryun and the fake Viole.
According to the latest RAW chapter:
+ Show Spoiler + They don't know each other.

Gahh, I got so lazy so I read the summary, damn my lazy Korean which is unable to read large amounts of text =_=
Seems to really be showing there will be conflict between Baam and his group, especially between Wangnam. If Wangnam really is the son of Zahard, he will see Baam as a huge threat.

Really like this chapter. No action but some really nice lines.

Mangapirate releases an English translation of the chapter on the same day the korean version is released. The grammar isn't necessarily the best, and there are usually a few typos, but the overall translation is relatively accurate if you compare it to the "more professional" English translation done by The Company, which usually comes out a few days later.
Additionally, there is usually a rough translation summary that can be found on the Batoto forums a few hours after the raws are released if you are very impatient to know what happened.
I thought this chapter was great , mainly because there was a lot of Hwa Ryun in it! I found Yihwa a little bit annoying though. I'm glad by how lighthearted FUG is depicted as, or at least the members that are known, because grim edgy darkness is overused.
Edit: Realized other people had already mentioned the English summary of the raws on Batoto forums!

I liked the chapter, there was a lot of funny little asides the summary missed. Still looking forward to dem author notes in The Company's translation.

Actually, I was going to throw all the past events in the next chapter, but it looked like most of you readers wanted a speedy advance in the plot so it looks like I'll include just a little bit of reflection on the past and focus on the Wangnan team.
Awww I was looking forward to the past events "arc." Well, it's interesting to see he changes his plans based on what readers want but that can be both a good and bad thing =/

No. Baam is also an irregular...

+ Show Spoiler +Yeah, I was also a bit confused when they explained this part, but from my understanding the tower wanted to choose Baam, but I guess he just wasn't interested at all. Then Rachel entered instead of Baam when the tower wanted Baam (making her irregular? or is she considered chosen? irregular I guess.) And then Baam, without making a contract without the tower, forcibly entered to follow her, making him irregular.
Anyways, on a completely unrelated note, does anyone have any crazy theories on Baam's backstory? I mean, it wasn't given too much exposition besides that he was alone until he met Rachel. Did he ever interact with any other human ever? Here's my theory: Rachel is actually secretly insanely powerful, and she created Baam, and that's why he was alone until he met her. Or something like that. And this whole + Show Spoiler + betraying her super strong friend from jealousy

^the only thing foreshadowed on baam's backstory is that, Zahard's crest can be seen from inside baam's cave
BTW that yeon girl loves fire, and her nickname is hellion. kukuku

Uh, what exactly do you mean? That Viole is Baam?

That Zahard can only be killed by an irregular.
Pretty good chapters. No action recently but still entertaining.

Why do people still think Baam is a regular? There's definite proof just from the fact when Baam was with the 2F guardian. No regular can do that I believe.

looking forward, here are my predictions + Show Spoiler + well obviously bamm is the son of the king zahard, hence why they call him prince. the real king zahard is either dead, too old or constantly being challenged by new power for the control of the tower. clearly s rules within the tower now, are being set by fug. i believe the king fell in love with a woman and obviously conceived bam by blood, knowing this the king either locked him up himself because of the power potential and imbalance, or the king was overthrown and a new set of laws were established. i think the whole plot revolves around the fact, the higher ups knew about bamm and inevitably waitied for his arrival, in order to either use him to overthrow the king. bamm not knowing his orgin was clearly kept in the dark. the rules that all princesses who want relational ties to the king cannot be of blood descent also attest to this fact and the possible corruption of the tower.
The only problem with this idea is that Zahard would've been the ones to make the rules. The reason Zahard doesn't want Princesses to have children is because he doesn't want his power to spread without his knowledge and acceptance. He himself, however, is allowed to have children. After all, all of the tower's citizens are Zahard's "children".

Just read the manga in the past 2 days.
Season 1 was a decent read. It did seem to drag a bit because they were on 2F forever, but the significance of the floor and the author's note(some floors being more significant than others and therefore need more time to portray the story) made it enjoyable in the end.
As for Season 2, it's been awhile since I've been so bored of a story progression that I felt like dropping the manga or skipping to chapter 90-100 to see if it got any better. At first, for some reason after reading the author's note about the story having more than one protagonist and the shift of focus on the protagonists, I thought I was reading a flashback of Leroro when I first saw Wangnam because he looked like Leroro. I started skipping a majority of the author's notes and rankings because I was so bored with the story that I wanted to see if it got any better. During a later chapter, Viole was revealed to be Baam. For some reason I thought "o shit" Baam must have lost his memory and then left the tower only to reenter it later. So all this while I was waiting for Wangnam to turn into Leroro and become somewhat of a badass. It wasn't until I saw Koon and Rachel that I realized that I was reading the manga in chronological order the whole time instead of a flashback and that the Season 2 characters were just as shitty as I thought them out to be. I even thought that Koon was the young version of his father or whoever was leading the Koon family at the time because he called himself Agero Agnis something and didn't realize it was Koon until the manga showed Rachel.
If I could send a message to myself after reading a few chapters into Season 2, I would've said to just skip to the chapter where Koon shows up and just read a summary because I almost felt like dropping the manga while reading through that boring game. The characters didn't interest me as much as my least favorite, significant character in Season 1(I'd probably pick the spear bearer guy that beat gator in that test and he wasn't even a significant part of the story seeing as he only had 5 pages of drawing total). Even if I realized that it was a direct continuation of the plot with new characters, I still would've thought it was one of the most boring 30-40 chapters of a manga I've ever read.

Phantaminium charged through Zahard's palace and slaughtered the guards easily. Suddenly, he left without a trace. He's an irregular, and incredibly powerful.
Why is Zahard still alive?
Could he (Phantaminium) have some connection to Baam?

There is no reason, apparently Phantaminium merely left Zahard alone after slaughtering everybody in the palace. Almost certain we will get an answer to this later, but not now.
