5/5 Sadly it’s too short ;0; but they’re both just so adorable!!
this is an extra for their other work
I know, I‘ve read them all (づ￣ ³￣)づ
ah i see, my bad
Not at all!! Thank you for pointing it out (⌒▽⌒)
Can you tell me which one?
Sure! It‘s this one https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/blue_blue_blue/
Aww thank you
4/5 Stars — Really liked the different Stories, that are connected; although I don’t like that the characters look very much alike and some topics are not my cup of tea. I enjoyed Zaizen and Kiriyas dynamics the most!
5/5 Stars — Really enjoyed this one! It has everything: humour, action, emotions, heartbreak, looots of funny momens and endearments , ghosts, smexiness,…
All of the characters are well developed, are deep and have a clear motivation.
— The only thing I was strungling with are the many names (it’s my first time reading chinese manhua), especially since every person has three names, AND there are quite a lot of people haha
If the mentioned person is there it‘s no Problem, but if their talking about someone who‘s not there and some time passed after they were introduced, I had to reaaaaally think hard or guess whom they‘re talking anot haha! Other than that, I absolutely devoured the story (and read the novel after a couple of chapters of the manhua; and I really do recommend reading the novel beforehand, it adds SO MUCH and goes a long way!) and loved every moment!ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
1/5 Stars — Not my cup of tea. At all. *Spoilers ahead*
(Read until chapter 55)
Usually, as a reader, you‘d sympathize with the MC, but for me it is not possible to "root" for them individually, and definitely not for them as a couple.
While I enjoy reading the concept of a redemption-arch, some crimes and actions (for me at least) can simply not be forgiven.
Apparently (as of Season 2) Kloff is self-loathing himself because he‘s attracted to another Alpha and therefore he’s torturing Aeroc (even beyond the reason of Rapiel’s death). In the 1st season, however, none of his „feelings“ for Aeroc are there and - for me - it feels as if the author made those feelings up in the 2nd season as an "excuse" for Kloff‘s cruel actions. It does not feel authentic at all. Kloff S1 and Kloff S2 seem like two entirely different people. Also I think Rapiel deserves much better.
Aeroc should be this „genius aristocrat from a wealthy and powerful family“, yet he is extremely gullible and did not "see it coming“, that giving thugs a lot of money and telling them to _punish_ a pregnant Omega would result in them killing said Omega and the unborn child in the most disgusting and gruesome way. Excuse you, but WHAT ELSE, did you expect? You said "punish him“, not „scare hime a little“ or something along those lines. Explaining Aerocs arrogant attitude during the 1st season, with him being a noble and therefore not being able to express his feelings during 2nd season, is simply not a strong enough reason for me.
Kloff and Aeroc are not able to communicate, much less understand each other. In the 1st season they don’t even talk much with each other, so I don’t understand why they’re stuck on the other. I don’t feel a spark between them at all. In the 2nd season they author chooses to switch the POV more often and share their inner monologues; while this gives the reader more insight and creates the illusion of „understanding“, it’s nothing more than that: an illusion. Because Aeroc and Kloff don’t share much dialogue at all. The sudden (mostly consensual?) smut in season 2 felt extremely excessive and was bare of intimacy. I read Manga where a simple brush of fingers felt much more intimate and gave my butterflies, yet here I felt nothing and skipped through it.
The rape, coercion, stockholms syndrome, forced gender“swap“, forced pregnancy and cruelty are major reasons why this story is not enjoyable or Kloff/Aeroc redeemable for me.
I‘m not trying to fight or diss, so please don’t at me. I‘m simply sharing my personal opinion and taste.
For me it‘s a definite „I do not recommend“, but I wish everyone who enjoys this story a happy ending for all characters and lots of fun while reading.

so yk that kloff isn’t the only one against alpha x alpha relationships right? it is taboo. kloff is influenced by society’s ideals and is against pursuing aeroc. i’m not sure how that’s not clear in season 1. with this in mind we can make our inferences. kloff likes aeroc and even imprints him (this is more novel detail), is in hella denial, uses rapiel as a poor excuse, and with all that plus what aeroc did made him do the things he did in s1. i hope u don’t mean “excuse” like that because it’s the reasoning behind it and is no way justified behavior. many readers hate kloff for this, and imo, if kloff knew aeroc did wrong it’s not his decision to decide the punishment. but ofc it’s not just simply “i hate you aeroc for killing my hubby” it’s “i also love u but i can’t show it so im gonna do all these things to you while under the pretense that i only hate you” and it’s a complete mess.
overall the author did not invent these “feelings” in s2 it’s p clear since s1. it’s just less noted because we’re seeing it from aeroc’s pov. you can’t have everything spelled out to a reader, sometimes it’s up to the reader to connect the dots.
Aeroc should be this „genius aristocrat from a wealthy and powerful family“, yet he is extremely gullible and did not "see it coming“, that giving thugs a lot of money and telling them to _punish_ a pregnant Omega would result in them killing said Omega and the unborn child in the most disgusting and gruesome way.

does being a genius mean you are good at everything? aeroc is skilled in things like the arts. he’s shown to read a lot and play instruments and observe art pieces. is he a genius in finances? is he a genius in social skills? being a genius doesn’t mean u are immune from flaws. if u think it’s common sense that you shouldn’t tell thugs vague directions in hopes of getting what you wrong maybe for us but maybe not for the next. and is aeroc really a genius in that regard? aeroc is not perfect, and he may be a genius for some things but not others.
yes ig u could say aeroc was arrogant thinking he was better than rapiel and questioned why kloff wouldn’t choose him. yeah nobles can be p arrogant. but him being a noble isn’t the only reason why he’s arrogant and is a very small portion that may not even be true. i don’t even think aeroc is arrogant because he acted arrogantly due to his jealousy of rapiel. that’s why u see him acting so arrogant.
aeroc isn’t able to express his feelings in s2 because he doesn’t want to get involved with kloff. he doesn’t want the same events happening. he’s trying to keep his emotions in check.
Kloff and Aeroc are not able to communicate, much less understand each other. In the 1st season they don’t even talk much with each other, so I don’t understand why they’re stuck on the other.

love at first type shit. if u think this is unrealistic well stuff like this does happen irl
they’re also stuck on each other cuz of imprinting.
u don’t have to feel the spark. in s1 most agree the relationship is beyond toxic and nobody ships them.
u think there’s no intimacy because that’s what u believe in. again, i can see ur pov, but i also see it from the other side. this is finally the two giving in to their desires after what we’ve witnessed.
The rape, coercion, stockholms syndrome, forced gender“swap“, forced pregnancy and cruelty are major reasons why this story is not enjoyable or Kloff/Aeroc redeemable for me.
i get why some are turned off from all those that h mentioned, and they are valid reasons. if it’s not ur cup of tea then yeah it makes sense. kloff and aeroc’s redeemability is imo up to the reader as well, whether u ship it or condemn one or the other or whatever.
also u can call it forced secondary gender swap. most abo titles are considered second gender
I’m sharing my own opinion and taste and do not claim for them to be plausible nor "true" for everyone. Far from it, it’s good that we’re all diverse, enjoy various things and have different taste. (I‘m positive that I rated some stories with a 5 / 5 stars, that other people wouldn’t even spare a second glance at haha).
As I said, it is not _my_ cup of tea for above mentioned reasons;
However, I am truly happy for you and everyone who enjoys the story and wish all of you a happy reading (⌒▽⌒)
yeah i’m just seeing if u actually understood the story or not
5/5 Stars — Re-reading this for the nth time, I love their dynamics so much and truly hope, that the author someday will continue and finish their story! （/TДT)/
You’re so real for that! Same here T.T
Let‘s both pray and manifest it （/TДT)/
5/5 Stars — I love coming back to them again and again! One of my absolute faves!(づ￣ ³￣)づ
4/5 — It starts out really dumb and stereotypical, but if you just hold on through Volume 1, it gets so much better! A real turn around :D! Easily one of my faves, and also one I started reading waaay back ( one of my first BLs too).
2/5 Stars — Nah man, all the rape, slurs, non-existent plot, waaay to easy „solution“‘ and fake happy ending, just wtf?
This was such a confusing and rather chaotic story ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ The concept per se is interesting, but it’s lacking a lot of dynamics and (to me at least) spark between the MCs.
4.5/5 Stars — I absolutely love this Story and re-read it every once in a while! Chay and Keaton have great dynamics, healthy communication, funny moments, as well as erotic and intimate moments! The only thing missing is _moooore_ of the excellent and interesting plot; it does feel rushed at the end and I would just love to read more of them.
