This "special chapter" made everything way worse. I thought this seme was ehh but a lil trashy and now with this chapter showing exactly how he raped and physically manipulated the uke puts a bad taste in my mouth.
If it weren't for this author constantly paning to the shoes, I wouldn't have noticed the ugly ass shoes he's got on which prob is a sneaker head's dream but he's supposed to be the CEO of a security company AND a mercenary but he wears THOSE sneakers?!? He couldn't wear some NON FLASHY, good black or white sneakers? Not to mention his face looking all sorts of fucked up while the omega looks absolutely beautiful with complimentary colors. The ML looks like his face never got past proofreading or editing. The lines of his face and eyes look janky.
I reread this after losing interest for a while but why are all the comments bashing the ML? Compared to many other manhwas with similar plots or characters, the ML in this is far from dogshit Jaekyung. Yea he isn't nice sometimes but you can tell by his actions he isn't a complete dickhead like even in the very beginning when he actually lets Yigon sleep and rest, etc. You can tell from his thoughts, he feels something is off and isn't straight fucked up. Has everybody forgotten that Yigon DID NOT TELL Taekang, what his grandfather said and how that whole dinner ended? Yes he told him that his brother is trying to kill him, but its a lil hard to believe and nothing really suggests that ML knows knows. IDK I dont get the hate and in fact see the potential in this story since from the very beginning ML and MC has shown that they are somewhat respectful and kind characters, just bound by their circumstances.
Someone else commented and I couldn't have said it any better but I really like this story too. I liked almost all of the characters except for the dickhead alpha husband. But the main focus of this story was on Juhyeok's world view and journey to loving again. As someone else said, MC represents us and with that detail, the author proceeded to tell this story in such a detailed yet relatable way. For a long time of reading mangas/manhwas, I haven't really seen such a realistic, witty and comedic reaction to what's happening in this story. Example being right in the 1st chapter with MC calling the cops on the workplace violence happening.
I loved many aspects of this manhwa from the characters, their development, the progress between the ML and MC, the inner thoughts and actions of the MC and even the side story. Loved the MC's best friend as well and although the story makes sense with MC being with ML, I lowkey have 2nd male lead syndrome. Speaking of the story, there aren't' any unnecessary drama like love triangles, or evil exs or rape. Although many subjects are touched upon to help with worldbuilding, the story is more focused on the inner turmoil that MC faces but it isn't portrayed as too dark of a topic but rather a topic most people can relate to and go through in real life. His feelings are resolved in a realistic way that flows effortlessly.
Onto the side couple...it was TOO SHORT. It had so much potential as this couple represents a different problem with love than the main couple AND serves as a symbol of how different and similar omegas and alphas' world is from that of betas'. This type of storyline with arranged marriage and child on the way has rarely been fleshed out. THIS HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL as a story on its own. I would've loved to see a lot more backstory from how they interacted in their college days to how they set up the relationship from the start and how the author would navigate their troubles. This author makes me believe that they would legitimately have the omega end with someone else.
There really is nothing the author can do to redeem this character. Still to this point, he does not truly care for Dan at all. "You're no use to me in this condition" How far is the author going to push this for Jaekyung to "realize his feelings" or whatever rushed BS she gonna pull. It isn't enough that Dan is dependent on alcohol, sleepwalking, malnourished and nearly drowns himself. What's the next step? He needs to actually consciously commit suicide? And then what? Jaekyung has a miraculous realization of how he feels? He still going with the sex. Like does the author think we're 5 and can't see through this bullshit?
For the first few chapters, I feel the pacing is off like its cutting out certain parts or translation is off? This makes it very confusing to understand what is happening. I didn't even know what the premise was from reading the first couple of chapters until I read a reader's summary of this manhwa
To have someone love you like that would be a dream. This is an absolute masterpiece. Does anybody know of another manga/manhwa that is so well written like this one?
What the fuck is up with the 3rd story. Messy, incomplete story with plot holes, the size of a black hole, with a "non-ending" that ruined this shit even more. I don't know how a story could have so much potential and it just blows up in your face. You know what, I agree with others, FUCK YOU author.
I have read my fair share of gangster/undercover stories and it does not surprise me that ML is the one who killed the MC's parents. Their dynamic surprisingly works for me. But yes its mostly just smut and very little plot. I also question where this is going, like what's the point. Like others have said, he's just going to find out ML murdered his parents and then be with him. So what's the point? There's not much of an interesting approach you can take here.
This piece of shit just thinks about himself, clearly from him thinking if he wants "a competitive edge, he needs Kim Dan; its all down to my jinx; "gotta get to Dan through Granny" He hasn't at all noticed Dan's horrible condition even tho he slept with him. Like bro BE FUCKING FOR REAL. This shit really is 10x worse than BJ ALEX.
Very sweet story but lacking in some depth with the pacing being too quick. Could've delved a little more into how they came to love each other and the realistic obstacles they would face as a same sex relationship and being from different classes. The other gripe I have with this is Noah's look and attire as sometimes his outfits i.e. the cape looks great but many other times he's wearing women's attire or attire befitting a child like his knee high socks and short trousers. He also looked a little too feminine and juvenile. Other than that, I think the story was cute and an easy read.
I got a notification about this and DAMN I didn't know it already finished. Last time I read was somewhere around chapter 60 and it was getting really boring, cliche and uninteresting compared to the beginning. According to recent comments, my gut was right about this taking a bad turn. Sigh* such a disappointment to learn it did not get better.
Its not just me right? The chapters in this manhwa is super short compared to Omega complex and I'd argue this is not good. Waiting for weekly updates only for it to be so little progress in the story. We got a whole ass chapter just of them studying and going outside for a quick smoke. Meanwhile in Omega complex, we can have a whole chapter where Yoonwoo goes out for a smoke, gets confessed to by Dohyun, rejects him and brings Taegyeom home. No doubt this manhwa will be just as good but 3-5 of these chapters being in one makes more sense to me.
Judging by this author's previous work, "Kiss me, Liar" and the beginning 9 chapters of this manhwa, I already do not have high hopes. Keith was already bad enough and Chase seems no better than Keith. In chapter 5 he already assaults Josh by pistol whipping him in the face and then he proceeds to nearly shoot him but only be unable to bc his gun is jammed or empty. And THEN he KICKS Henry off of the helicopter into this hoard of zombies called fans and nearly killed him. IDK how this could be any better than Kiss me Liar bc she had 60 plus chapters to salvage Keith's character and still did not manage to do that. The names are atrocious. "Chase miller, Joshua Bailey"...the most BORING, uncreative white names. At the moment, the only good thing is the art and Josh's tenacity. Moral of the story: this author makes AWFUL male leads with no explanation too, not even a half-baked, unjustified ,sad ass backstory.
Man, manhwas seem to really like this gangster seme x young almost minor uke in a rural setting huh? "2020" and "A gig of the day" both feature a very similar plot to this. The whole age gap thing is eh but the problem with this is just the lack of diversity in plot. It's just older gangster guy who's morally grey but we don't know what he actually does whose portrayed to be this bad boy but deep down a kind person while the uke is just this helpless little thing who looks super young and is almost a minor but not really (i.e. 19-21) and has debt bc his dad fucked his family over but he's jailbait and incredibly naïve. AND after 20 chapters, we still don't know much about ANY of the characters beside their designated stereotype so HOW THE FUCK is this any different from the other two manhwa's I mentioned? The art? I mean this shit is alright but just boring bc its copy and paste.
Idk, its hot BUT it sort of throws you off with how quick they switch to Sihyun being so forward and kinky? Its just super off putting bc we jump from edging the audience to immediately sucking dick with a tongue piercing and no lube.
Damn, rereading this with the official chapters makes me realize how much of A DICKHEAD Keith is, like through and through. I mean I remember grading this only 3 stars precisely bc of Keith's character. There's really no growth or change, not even warming up to Yeonwoo. The omegaverse lore doesn't really make sense to be honest and the ONLY reason I gave this 3 stars is bc of Yeonwoo's tenacity. It was going so good when he fought back and cut Keith off and even drugged and ran away from him. No where and I mean NO WHERE can you show or convince me that Keith loves Yeonwoo.
This needs to be longer, not only to show more of their relationship progress and character developments but also for the world building. This is an extremely interesting world about coexisting humans and beastmen. There is hidden lore here that is not being explored.
My siblings r worth a Big Mac

Open to suggestions
YOU'D MAKE ME RLLY HAPPY BY RECOMMENDING THIS LIST :))
Couldn't take the art seriously as it has downgraded and when he said my "perfect" boyfriend, I legitimately rolled my eyes as he is the most manipulative, possessive, selfish character in this manhwa. And the fact that Wooseo called Jigeon's BROTHER/his best friend about his sex life after all that romantic misunderstanding between all 3 is...something. Honestly, can't remember a lot of this manhwa but I know it wasn't that great as author glossed over the manipulation and selfishness of Jigeon in a couple snaps of the fingers and all of a sudden, he's the perfect bf after only a couple weeks. HA HA!
