The Forgotten Field (잊혀진 들판), the new 2026 fantasy romance manhwa written by Kim Su-Ji and illustrated by Spoon, will release The Forgotten Field Chapter 22 for English fast-scan readers next Tuesday, May 19, 2026.
If you have just started reading this series, you know it centers on heavy angst and the deeply strained relationship between the male and female leads. The manhwa officially debuted with a mass release of 20 chapters on KakaoPage in early May 2026, and the fast-scan teams have been quickly translating the chapters to keep up.

Why The Forgotten Field Chapter 22 Matters
The English fast-scan teams (such as NyxScans and KingOfShojo) have caught up to Chapter 21, and are now transitioning to a regular weekly release schedule. The pacing has been intense right from the start, focusing heavily on the female lead being unfairly vilified and blamed for her own trauma, while the male lead (Varkas) struggles with immense guilt and misunderstandings.
What makes Chapter 22 so critical? Because the manhwa is directly adapting a Korean web novel (which currently spans over 220+ chapters), readers already know the trajectory of the plot. Based on the novel pacing, Chapter 22 deals directly with the fallout of the recent violent incident involving the female lead.
The Forgotten Field Chapter 22 Spoilers (Based on the Novel)
According to the original novel chapters, here is what you can expect from this highly anticipated release:
Varkas’ Guilt
Spoilers indicate that Chapter 22 will heavily feature Varkas’ internal monologue and overwhelming guilt. Following the terrifying scene where the female lead was attacked (and subsequently blamed for being “troublesome”), Varkas is forced to confront the fact that he completely failed to protect her or prevent the situation.
Shift in Dynamics
While the early chapters have been incredibly frustrating for readers due to the unfair treatment of the female lead, The Forgotten Field Chapter 22 marks a slight shift. Fans anticipate a sequence where Varkas begins taking active measures to ensure her safety, acting out of his deep-seated guilt and setting up his transition into a much more protective (and eventually obsessive) role.
