Knowing they are cousins but that ppl ship it regardless is (⊙…⊙ )

I just think this manga has already set the bar for what weird/toxic things can happen, and it would be weird for the two kids to be a couple at this point (in my opinion).

ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

Little A looks almost identical to A. I hope Fluffy topped A. I want more Milton milking. I hope we get answers.

The best part is the cope. The side story is like 8 chapters with a cliffhanger, then back to the main story. But with Leon on the run there will be less sex scenes, and who even knows if we'll ever see Cliff again ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Fun fact, the author drew this mostly for the smut hence the large amount of sex scenes, but the most recent chapter has a bit of lore.

First, Leon has escaped! But Nergal is an obsessive jerk who wants Leon back. And his escape was mostly blamed at Beryl (beast man) for allowing himself to be tricked, so Beryl has to find Leon or he will be demoted to the bottom of the hierarchy. Mephisto got the same warning by Nergal, but I don't think he cares that much about it.

Second, Mephisto (tentacle man) let Leon find a way to escape. Mephisto said it to Nergal, that he has a plan that will bring back life to their dimension that involves a runaway Leon. HOWEVER, Mephisto seems to have larger plans. Mephisto hates Leon, and I think that Mephisto has realized that Nergal is more focused on Leon as an individual than as a tool for reviving their world. So Mephisto may be planning to get Leon in a position where Leon will not be defended by anyone or he might experiment on Leon where Nergal can't interfere. I think this because Mephisto started to manipulate Beryl by telling Beryl that Leon doesn't care about him. Leon used Beryl and abandoned him, but at first Beryl didn't believe that Leon would do that to him - and Mephisto used that insecurity to manipulate Beryl (who is going to be looking for Leon).

I surprised myself and skipped the sex scenes. I was just here for the story lmaooooooo

BTW the next season is already being uploaded (it has like 3 parts). Spoilers below.

Leon is finally free. He tricked Beryl and escaped. Nergal ain't happy, but Mephisto didn't really stop Leon, so he may have set a trap or smt. I think Leon is heading to the cave where he used to be with Cliff. I am praying Cliff returns for Leon.

1. The pretty eyelash gene is strong. Even the brother has them, he just frowns a lot so you can barely see them lol

2. It's so sad that Ilya still wants to have approval and love from his father, it's literally been 10 years since they last saw each other too. You can see the heartbreak when his father tells him to leave, like Ilya hoped maybe his father would tell him something else - even a welcome back. But he just gets alienated again. You can tell that it hurts Ilya to know that Huey has a completely different relationship with his father. Huey can openly show his love and care, meanwhile Ilya only feared his father. It's just sad seeing Ilya being sad at the fact that he was and continues to be isolated by his own family. His sarcastic attitude is literally a shield because of the rejection and humiliation he suffered by everyone around him. It's also just sad that it seems that those years in civil war Ilya was forgotten, and it seems that even now Ilya was only tricked into returning by his brother (as the king told Ilya to leave). Otherwise it seems that Ilya would have never been invited back.

While I love the whole Byul and Siwoo storyline, two things don't sit right with me.

1. The staying in contact with Hyesung's mom. Like I get she escaped an abusive relationship but she had years to contact her son. By the start of the story Hyesung is an adult, so it's not like she HAD to have the father's permission to see him after a while. Also, hypothetically, if she had the opportunity to actually see her son earlier, would she have still kept him a secret? She didn't tell her new family about him even after trying to meet him, so would she have still kept him a secret from her family even if she could see him as a child? I don't like the mom, and I didn't feel sad that her new family left her, like she abandoned her son once, would she also dip out on them if the tides turned? So that whole bit just left a sour taste in my mouth, and unless it becomes an actual storyline with Hyesung being angry at his spouse and child, it'll just be a shitty thing to force someone to accept. What're they gonna do next, secretly take the new baby to see the mom when Hyesung cut her off for valid reasons? For Hyesung to reconcile with a woman who abandoned him and only showed back up when it was convenient for her?

2. The possibility of romance between Heasoo's daughter and Chunwoo's daughter. This one is more personal taste I guess, but I can't get into that train. Like their parents have a complicated relationship to begin with, and yeah Heasoo's daughter is adopted but that doesn't matter anyways because I couldn't imagine having one of my future in laws be one of my parent's ex-husband. Like that's a can of worms that is just meh. Also I don't like Haesoo's daughter that much anyways, so having Chunwoo's daughter with her is just going to be lame to me, like that girl deserves better than the brown-haired stuck up bitch. I was so excited to see Chunwoo's daughter but this possibility makes me want to just ignore that storyline completely (like I ignored Dojin's sister's story for being terrible). I might even drop it, cause I would prefer for Chunwoo's daughter to be a kinder version of Chunwoo, but still a princess, not some love sick girl for someone not even worth it （/TДT)/ this is personal taste tho

So I tried to find out more and...

1. The author mentioned side stories for the last time in late 2017/early 2018. Their last actual twt was about the publishing of the Italian(?) Translation, the rest are retwts. They only said something along the lines of "I'll be preparing! Wait for the side stories!"
2. The author was VERY passionate about the L3zhin movement from 2018. L3zhin was exposed for shady practices (such as having blacklisted and exploited authors) and a series of protests followed, with some authors taking breaks. The author talked about being at protests, retwted hundreds of twts about unions/orgs, and even drunk posted about the movement. From 2018 to 2019 the author retwted about the movement, with nothing about the side stories being mentioned. They never mentioned anything about other stories or the side stories since. Makes me think they might have protested by not uploading anything. This is me speculating though.
3. Since 2019 the author has not been active online or at least not active on twt. No statement why and no updates. I can't tell what happened to them either, as it seems not even Korean readers know about their whereabouts. There were updates to the movement in 2020 but those updates weren't retwted, making me think that the author had life events happened that have taken their time up. Either they are now working an average 9-5, working under a new name (they were extremely harsh during the movement and that could've made them change pen names to publish elsewhere), or are just no longer around for personal reasons (let's hope the author is in good health). Ppl also left comments as recently as early 2025, with no response from the author, so they don't seem to be checking the account.

My hope is that the author may return one day to either give an update on themselves, release a new story, or release the side stories. I think they're a great artist and storyteller, so it would be a shame to never hear from them again. But realistically, with zero updates since 2019 and even Korean readers having no info, it seems the author is not going to return to give the side stories. ┗( T﹏T )┛

I love seeing the changes from the first volume to this volume (7)! Naoto was soooo isolated and scared of the world at first, he only had his mother and Shizuku was barely five years old! Not only that but he had dropped out of school after the assault happened, so he was carrying the trauma of alphas (and friends) taking advantage of him. But now, Naoto has more friends and acquaintances that he can rely on, aside from his family. He's not alone anymore and he can rely on others and be relied on too! I love his smile as well, as it's so telling of the healing he's gone through.

Hazuki was somewhat a loner but he was carrying a lot of guilt over being an alpha, but him slowly maturing and learning has been great. He's had his ups and downs, but he's been working hard. He not only loves Naoto, but he loves Shizuku as a daughter as well. Shizuku has been trying to protect her mama for so long, she basically didn't trust others (she was even hostile to Hazuki!). But she's been able to be a kid, to make friends and find her own path since Hazuki has become her papa. Naoto is certainly still her favorite and her number 1 support, but Hazuki has taken up her mission to protect her mama as well, so she can also focus on growing up. Their relationship is super cute, especially with Shizuku calling Hazuki by a nickname, but seeing him as her one and only papa. (It makes me so angry knowing that at some point she may have to be told that her conception was such a shitty situation. I hope she never sees the scumbag of a sperm giver again.)

I hope to see more of the kids growing up too (づ￣ ³￣)づ.
