There are actually more side stories, but still webnovel only. And Keith did improve, but he is still Keith.^^"
You could probably try "Kiss me if you can" by the same author.XD
If you get through the beginning, you'll see a completly different dynamics compared to this one. Josh, that blond omega bodyguard in KML, is paired with Chase Miller, the actor Keith Pittman had problems with and who is Grayson's younger brother. That omega is pretty strong and selfconfident compared to Yeonwoo of KML.
By the way, Grayson Miller, Keith Pittman's blond friend, got Dane Striker (dominant omega) as his pair.XD But it's still novel only, was released this year.
I actually already planned on reading the sequel since the sequel is what caught my eye initially..but I like to do things in order so I unfortunately read this first.
I'm just waiting for it to be completed before I start reading because I don't like cliffhangers and waiting for chapters lol
And yeah sure, Keith "got better" but I would've preferred he just had a trash personality and leave it at that. He raped the MC and then tried to do it a second time if the MC didn't harm himself in the moment...that's how desperately the MC wanted to escape that situation and that didn't sit right with me. And then nothing Keith did in the side stories or any chapter after that redeemed him from those 2 moments imo. Felt unnecessary to add stuff like that in and not actually make Keith work for the MC's love. Cause he didn't...the MC would forgive Keith either instantly or in a short time. That was the only thing I liked about the side stories, due to MC's memory loss he made sure Keith never forgot what he put him through but imo that wasn't enough. Especially since despite all that he was still attracted to Keith for some reason.
KML was released first ( probably because one part of the pairing is korean? because this year the author said that the first story she came up with was actually Grayson's ....which was released as a webnovel this year.lol), but KMIYC it not really a sequel. The author kind of had 2 series for this universe planned (also released a few stand alones), each 6 stories, and KML is one story of one series and KMIYC is one story of the other series. But there are connection between them, you'll see it when you read KMIYC. KML and KMIYC take place around the same time. Nathaniel's story which is currently released as a webnovel, too.
Yes, Keith is trash, and he even knows that himself.
He did improve, he is a great father, doesn't cheat on his partner and wants to keep him from harm, but as I said Keith is still Keith.
But another problem here is Yeonwoo, Yeonwoo is kind of obsessed with Keith and most of the time has no backbone when it comes to Keith.
Keith was the one who turned him into an omega, but he still went to work for Keith. And he was also responsible for managing Keith's affairs with all those actresses, for years. He knew Keith's character pretty well.
So him getting involved with Keith was his dream come true/own fault. But being SA-ed he didn't deserve, no one deserves that.
In one side story (not adapted to manhwa) it was mentioned, that several people were aware that Keith and Yeonwoo fell love, years before they found out themselves.XD
Sorry but not cheating on your partner, being a good parent and wanting to protect your family or even just a partner isn't a high standard..It's genuinely the bare minimum. If people don't possess those traits/emotions they shouldn't be in a relationship or is even ready to be a parent
And yeah the MC pmo for that kind of behaviour too hence why I replied to myself saying he's pmo HE had the lowest of standards. Idk if it was an omegaverse thing where they were fated so it HAD to be Keith or if he was solely just wanted it to be Keith for his looks...the latter is genuinely worse because there'd never been a single time Keith treated him nicely
Yes, I know. That's why I wrote that Keith is still Keith. That guy has some good qualities like being a good friend, a good father etc., but when it comes to relationships - he was a red flag for a very long time. KML was a toxic mess because of those two, and Keith was as trashy as one could get, so that was actually improvement when it comes to Keith.lol
The funny thing is that in one side story, that wasn't adapted to manhwa yet, several persons told Yeonwoo they knew that they were in love years before they found out themselves. Even Keith's half brothers knew, because Grayson told them.XD
I would have said no concering fate for this story.
But concerning the Millers I'm not so sure. Especially Grayson's story, because he was looking for his fate for years, he wanted the same as his parents. And there was a fortune teller who wasn't a fraud. And find someone who can handle his crazyness and physical strenghts? That really needed fate.XD
But I think officially there never was any mention of fate/soulmates for this universe.

A manga like this made me understand why in omegaverse they're characters, usually omegas, who hate all alphas no matter how kind they are....
Why did every alpha in this story treat the MC's trauma so lightly? The ML and his blonde friend included ughhh. Like he was nearly RAPED and the ML told him he should've just let it happen???
Genuinely made me feel so bad for the MC
