Girl I’m on chapter 13 reading this for the first time & I feel like I’m being rage baited also the food jaekyung made looked horrible lmao everything looked raw #-.-)… tbh I’m so close to dropping like the constant fucking is ugh like hell at least the other authors try to disguise the rape & make it look “pleasurable” this is just constant cringing watching him shoving himself into Dan… im kinda just reading just bc ts has been spammed across my fyp but man… Jaekyung im confused like did u think poverty cease to exist after u came up lol?
The different perspectives was everything for me lol it made me empathize with everyone even Yohan lol.. it’s fucked up what he did but i love how the author included his perspective on it & how it haunted him for so long i think this was very important too just as readers to understand why Minjae forgave him or why Minjae felt the way he did abt Yohan.
This is the second story I read from this author & I really love how realistic the characters are it made me realize like damn mainstream bl is lacking lmao & damner all the popular stories feel like cash grabs. I also appreciate how Taesaun(??) addressed how he raped & hurt Minjae & how deeply regretful he was abt it.. like ughhhh im so satisfied with just the resolve of the story like all the issues between the characters were addressed & every action had a reaction..
Anyways 100000/10 read definitely just became one of my favorites
Just finished rereading this & im so glad i did lol i reread on a whim & i actually forgot the plot & how it ended but 100000/10 writing, I love the art & honestly part of me wishes it was wayyyyy popular but the other half of me loves that it isn’t lol anyways just realized the author has other stories so im abt to go binge read the other ones lol !
Just finished rereading this & ughhh my heart Sehyun… I think this is either my 3rd or 4th time rereading & it’s still one of my top reads.
Something abt coming back to reread this story kinda like ..grounds me in a sense from all of the other stories on here lol. I love how the author actually addresses the different themes/ issues and also how fleshed out the characters are & their personalities. The depictions too, you’re a great author/ artist when the work you show makes it feel so real even if the characters are fictional their stories are so real.
I also loved the letter to Tracy I love how the author doesn’t just use her as some random tragic character in Boris’s backstory but continues to remind us of how much she shaped Boris as a character & her impact even on his relationship w Sehyun. ╥﹏╥ 1000000/10 read
Also I’d argue that reading the original love is an illusion is worth it Dojin was shitty for what he did but girl lets me honest the story isn’t in the big 3 for nothing ╮( ̄= ̄)╭
ok now i need to know what the yaoi big three are because there are way to many choices:
- killing stalking
- yarichin b club
- painter of the night
- 19 days
- given
- cry for me
- cherry blossoms after winter
- sign
- bj alex
- all of you
- kiss me liar
- king's maker
- love or hate
- taming the tiger
- love so pure
- semantic error
- sketch
- aesthetics of unpleasantness (should be, imo)
- nerd project
- Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu
- blue name pressure
- missing pepper case (should be, imo)
and these are just the big ones (and soon to be big ones) I can think of on the top of my head
Don’t get me wrong I love love is an illusion plus this story but the writing was never peak, the “omegaverse” theme was a little bit a head of its time from my knowledge. Realistically what can u expect lol many of these popular bl authors never address ANY real problem between the characters it’s like it’s unspoken. It basically kills these ppl to actually add depth to a character/ problem or two lol









Damn why’s it a problem if byul turns out to be an omega though? I don’t think it’s as deep as ppl are making it seem ╮( ̄_ ̄)╭ I think Fargo just likes drawing pretty characters idk
Because if we wanted to read another omegaxalpha story we would,I started this cause it said alphaxalpha if it turns out like that then there was no point
Remind me did Fargo say this was axa or the people … & if it doesn’t turn out to be alpha x alpha I promise u I’m sure you’ve read other pointless shit like the rest of us.. if it’s that serious just read some other random bara/ buff smut story because that’s all alpha x alpha is
She did do that by making the AxA at all what do you mean she didn't say it's an alphaxalpha ?? Don't get me wrong tho, I'm a firm believer in whatever an author chooses to do with their story is their fully their right but people are allowed to not want to be mislead??
And to me I already don't really like typical omega vers stories because they feel very hetero , if I wanted to read a story where the character acts like a girl and looks like a girl , I'd just read something straight or maybe a trans story but that's practically nonexistent
Typical omega vers stories to me just seem to lack queerness, at least some take the genre and explore the misogyny women typically face and I do like those but in the average omega vers they draw men that are practically women then call it gay.
I have to say I don't hate omega vers just very bored of the omegaxalpha plot they're boring now to me so I would be ticked if this turned into another one of those and no AxA to me isn't just baraxbara it's something that feels like the actual gay equivalent in an omega vers it's taboo in most stories, and that's what I relate to, the relationship that people don't usually accept where people think that's wrong or unallowed
Honestly I just love the non-typical choices so beta x alpha or omega is fun
Alpha x alpha is a bit more fun
And the greatest one of all that barley anyone writes is omega x omega
Ur right abt being mislead, but also my original comment was toward ppl who were making it seem like the end of the world
Certain omegaverses do have hetero vibes & honestly I think it’s layers to that …u bring up really good points & tbh the mainstream bl stories rn are damner all tired & reused
Personally I think if ur looking for something with more substance, the love is an illusion series ain’t it & my original comment had that in mind.. From what I read in the original story the characters go through shit but no resolve lmao im not expecting much of that here that’s why I feel like if byul was to randomly manifest as an omega or the story shifted to something else it wouldn’t end up meaning much to the characters development but I might be wrong
Ah i now get why you made that comment, for me when reading this story the main thing I've been looking forward to, was seeing them being an axa couple and how they'd go about that and the reactions it'll have from their piers and family, but you and other people are just reading for the story itself lol
When I read stories some of the funnest parts for me is thinking of how the plot will go and anticipating to see if it happens like how I hope
So for you and others byul turning into an omega probably isn't a big deal but for me it wiped out the whole plot I was looking forward to so I got all defensive sorry about that
