The notifications made me reread this and I still say this is one of the best omegaverse I've read. It's a mixture of toxicity and fluff bec the stereotype is that all green flag stories are all about being fluff/ nice etc. The first part I cant really say it is rape per se coz they were really making out at the elevator with ofc Hyeon oh already thinking they would do the deed. It's just Ga-in stopped in the middle of it, restrained Hyeon-oh. For me restraining Hyeon-oh is a preventive measure on his part coz what if he revealed his intentions and harm him? I mean you really cant tell. He is a chaebol and obviously he has a lot to lose. That's also the same logic of him releasing his pheromones while Hyeon-oh was tied up. It looked like he wanted him to be worthy/sane enough to have sx with him coz he is a cery much dominant omega and if Hyeon oh oh is just like other typical alpha he will just lose his reason and maybe end up marking/hurtin him. Besides, Gain was not touching him or anything like that. He was just walking, and sat on the bed not even holding him. That's why Ga-in said it's not rape. It's like he first make sure that Hyeon oh was worthy it's not bad to have standards. Also the next chapters, I see Ga-in just want to keep his distance to Hyeon-oh. nothing wrong with that. He has standards and a very rich and influencial guy so he has more to lose if he is not careful.

I dont wanna be saying hate against Do yoon yet until I know what happened to him during the timeskip and what his real intentions with Yejun are. I dont think he just wanted Yejun to just suffer. He looked like he is obsessed to him now like he doesnt want him to run away again that's why he wanted to marry him asap

It's totally revenge. He marked an Omega when he was in rut. He thought the guy he was sleeping with was a beta.
He feels lied to, taken advantage of, and to top it all off he has a kid he never got to meet who looks just like him. And his kid is sick and didn't need to be. So, he's going to torture his partner for about 50 chapters, rape him often, and possibly knock him up a second time, all the while letting him know just how helpless he will always be. And y'know what, I don't blame the omega for never approaching the guy. He's an ass.
There's no love here. There never was. Just revenge and a need to control. Oh, and he gets to dangle his newfound wife as bait in a familial power struggle he won't understand for about 45 chapters. These 'plots' all go the same way.

His kid is sick but didn't need to be?!? He is such because he had inherited that gene. Unless you mean Noah didn't seek him out to get better treatment for their kid, then yeah, he's not being well-treated so he's constantly drained and sleeping. I'm not sure it's revenge. He is definitely using them. Can't claim absolutely zero sense of love until we see more. But anyways, there is no need for love to raise a child together. But their relationship is coercive though. That I agree.
For those who want to complain about SA I mean yea go ahead, but I hope you do bear in mind that the characters here are demon doppelgangers with the intention of KLLing the original owner of the body. So obviously you can expect untoward scenes like SA, violence etc. The plot itself isn’t just a normal romance. So either you read through it and enjoy the story or drop it if this isnt for you.
I just hope they add psychological tag on this.
Yea I get SA comes with the psychological tag. Not complaining about that. But SA for the sake of drama is bad plot.
the premise here is that underworld makes doppelgängers to replace criminal humans for the good of humanity. In Korean/Chinese/Japanese underworld doesn’t necessarily mean evil. the underworld holds all souls for reincarnation. And that’s actually where the soul heals to move forward. So the whole evil demons are doppelgängers doesn’t make sense. Technically they should be stopping SA instead of committing it according the premise of the plot itself.
Oh sorry. No psychological tag yet. But yes it should be added. We still don’t know how the ml lived or died after the kidnapping.
But the rest of the comment stands.

i mean that world doesnt have to be based on east asian conventions about the dead and even if thats the case there are still evil spirits that exist in their mythology. taosim isnt the same as this but yeah it can be set in a more "western" world.
im chinese and yes it isnt all sunshine and rainbows over in our underworld either
It’s not really about Asian, eastern or western mythologies. Those are an interesting topic in themselves.
Thus far the plot hasn’t referred to any mythological figure of any lore of the underworld. Just the term reapers and demons. Demons are making doppelgängers. And reapers are going about collecting the dead. I am going by the premise of the story that doppelgängers are supposed to be good.
And as to your other comment. Well yes I am sure. At the end of the day it’s still underworld. I was pointing out that it’s not synonymous to the western idea of it. But I am saying that based of my knowledge through reading ALOT. could be wrong.
