When I say this is one of my fav stories from manhwas, and I read the novel and seriously every conversation in this is such a nicely choreographed dance it feels SO satisfying to read, and then I love the writing choices and the things ml does, cause if it was any other manhwa they’d artificially prolong the misunderstanding just to keep readers waiting, and sure we still wait here, but not for annoying things to clear up or smth, the story consistently goes forward,
and I love ml making sure to clear things up then and there, I love mc rolling and pushing forward with his curiosity and unrecognized jealousy tryna uncover WHO it was that ml was chasing after and when he finall6 realizes, he’s suddenly too scared of it being said out loud, he realizes who ml meant and at the same time ml realizes that mc finally figured it out, it’s a confession but nothing was said yet and still it was a step forward,
mc knows his feelings and ml knows mc isn’t indifferent either, he knows mc is being way too lenient with him specifically, he knows mc was being jealous even if he didn’t consciously admit it and was trying his hardest to act like it’s not happening, ml just GETS things and he gets how mc is and acts exactly how he needs to to move things forward like AAAAA,
Bro just wait, the convo they have before they finally do it for the first time is so funny like that, ml just logics him into a trap where the only option is romance like AAAA, I’m chewing my arm I love them so much
Bro if you’re feeling impatient with the manhwa but like it, I’d really REALLY recommend going and reading the novel instead of dropping the manhwa from impatience, cause the story is hella worth it, but you’d be more patient with comic chapters coming out if you already know what happens, I know I’d be pulling my hair out if there was no novel and the only option was waiting for comic cause the story itself is slowburn too
Where can I read the novel?

Gotta sign in for the chapter links to work
Thank you!!
This is too well written to spoil with the novel. I might look it up after the manhwa is finished, but for now... I'm going to enjoy watching this play out. I'm absolutely loving this slow burn.
Idk, to me it’s so good rereading doesn’t take away from the enjoyment, especially with the gorgeous art, i already know and enjoyed the story and still come read the manhwa chapters and when it’s done after a LONG long time I’ll just reread the manhwa from the start lol
do you recall what chapter in the novel this latest chap in the manhwa is?
Manhwa 25 is around novel 39-40~
thank you so much!! your review is actually whats inspiring me to go and read the novel itself (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I’m sobbing they’re so damn adorableeeee, the little moments of him desperately being worried about mc not being able to eat anything and giving him everything he’s gotttt and being all worried I about them tripping on the stairs to the point he wants to move houses fjjskkfhrje, AND THE BABY BRO SLIPPING HIS WAY IN BETWEEN THEM FOR A FAMILY NAP IM SOBBING
BEO I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE SHORT AND END SOON, WHATS WITH THE FUCKING CREEP
Ok rereading this and I still feel so bad for mc’s life and all the depression he went through in the story, the alpha was an ass, he fully attempted to get him pregnant and baby trap him and the only reason we just glossed over it is cause he was already pregnant before he tried to do it with that intention, and then convincing him into a pregnancy he didn’t wanna keep, and then I don’t get why anyone is mad at mc for leaving the baby and him after he gave birth, he only did exactly what he said he would and what the alpha agreed to explicitly, him thinking hed change mc’s mind and get to be together was his wishful thinking, and then mc heard him say he wasn’t planning to ever pay him and let him go and then a “what can he do he’s just an omega”??? Can you blame mc leaving after that? Srsly? Wdym you feel bad for the alpha cause “mc doesn’t seem like he loves him” bruh, he clearly does later when he can calm down and not feel like he’s in survival mode in life and can feel like this rich powerful alpha and his family aren’t tryna fuck him over, even if he didn’t love him and stayed for the comfortable life I wouldn’t blame him or feel bad for the alpha…
Then heesoo made me mad in main couples story too, he was waaaay too harsh with mc for absolutely zero reason, bro you’re not psycho why did it take him so far into the story for him to be able to empathize with mc, like ohhh he realized how bad mc had it in life, seeing him suffer in heat or when he cried about mc speaking up against his dad and getting hurt again,
bro why would you act like any of that situation was at all mc’s fault, who asked the alpha to have sex with him, get him pregnant, force him to have it? And why are you blaming him for leaving the kid and him as if he didn’t say he would? Why would you tell him he and his family are after him and that the Alpha gave it up for adoption and shit? Like everything he did in main couples story is so fucked up who did he think he was helping?
And for someone that looked up to the alpha for the reason that in childhood he said people are people not their gender, he was helllllaaaa obsessed with gender and hating omegas for being omega and all his beta inferiority complex, his mindset wasn’t even that “oh were equals but I hate how society sorts us into a hierarchy” no he fully believed in the hierarchy himself, looking down on omegas or recessives and then with his husband being all “no we gotta break up you have no business being with a beta, no we gotta get a surrogate not cause I wanna have a baby with you but cause we have to Continue your superior genes” bro what the helllll
And then from the beta omega couple the beta pissed me off cause why are you taking the baby to meet omegas parents huh? He explicitly told you not to first of all, but also it’s not your fucking place to forgive them and try to be good to them, they were abusive to chowon and he cut ties with them, they don’t deserve to see neither chowon or his child, who the fuck are you to decide oh I’m gonna overlook that all and go take the baby to them? And the bullshit thought “but is that what’s best for the baby?” YES THATS BEST FOR THE BABY, CHOWON WAS THEIR BABY TOO, AND HOW DID THEY RAISE AND TREAT HIM? BE SO FUCKING FR RN, I hate the writing that in the end chowon sees that he did that and that he’s fine with it, he explicitly told him not to get that idea and not to do it…..
Like dude mc even asked him if I’m in heat and not in my right mind and ask for it, don’t do it, and alpha had control over himself but did anyway it cause he wanted to, and then mc was barely 18-19 while Alpha is older, there’s literally nothing I can blame mc for in the relationship
Thank you ! Like ppl easily forget that mc didn't choose it, he was forced into it.
I kinda see the people who hate him as misogynists. Bc how can you hate the guy who was raped and got pregnant and glorify the one who raped him ? Mc had all the rights to leave the child and run away bc he didn't want this pregnancy, he was forced into it.
The ml is trash but ppl turn a blind eyes bc he has feelings for the mc and treat him "right"
The only reason why love is an illusion was popular back then was bc ppl used to romanticize rape, lust and obsession.
The mc may be a little bit annoying but he's a victim.
Not to mention he was a new omega!! Imagine how scary that must be?? Living your whole life as a beta and suddenly you feel sick, you can feel pheromones you basically almost get raped on the job when you find out your whole world is changed and not even a week later you get knocked up. My guy simply can't catch a break
Ok but the switch up isn’t unrealistic, it’s not that he was physically incapable of feelings, just hella detached from reality and had walls up, even at the start he cared to not get him involved in danger and told him to leave when he was tryna defend him near the gym, or in the bus when he 2as being sulky he was especially being nice, like stop sulking come sit, etc, he just wanted someone to show himself to without a filter like how he had his mothr, , even if her treatment of him was bad at least he could be himself with her,
now sure he plays and tosses people away but doesn’t really hurt them particularly just having shallow connections, but mc being this obsessed subconsciously gave him hope that maybe he’s someone he can let in but also he’s scared so he particularly tests his limits by being the worst he can be before he decides ok he’ll stick with me I can let down the guard, sure he’s not consciously thinking all that but it’s happing still
But my god he got twin kicked and the colorful filters leftttt
and then hated the pushiness of the girl taking his phone and taking his number etc like if unprompted that’s crazy but then turned out he played with her and cut her off first so she wasn’t tryna get him she was tryna get back at him and not letting him get off easy so I say yes gurl do your thing, also was scared the brother would be crazy danger but liked him too, he didn’t do anything ml didn’t do, just gave him a taste of his own medicine to get him to come to his senses so slay too, BUT WHAT WAS UP WUTH THE PEDO SCHOOL NURSE AND THE PSYCHO SHIT ML PULLED THROWING UNCONSCIOUS MC TO HIM WHILE PROVOKING HIM TELLING HIM HE HAS INTEREST IN MC, did the bruises on mcs arms come from nurse or smth? Or just from ml pulling him across the floor I’m confusedddd
Twinkified*
Whys he looking like a big worm I’m cryin, the worm face witha bump kamdmismisnidminsund
Ok this was so weird, the vibes are cute and I love how the group members adore and baby him but also my god this was so weird cusse it feels like the plot is going nowhere, it’s like a dating sim game where there’s a bunch of guys with different personalities that like mc but you’re not playing towards anyone, wdym it took till chapter 100 to be able to say daejun is ml and chan is second (but also bro is a minor still so WHY) but even that isn’t 100% ajisnosjnauinjsinnsjo im pulling my hair out this is so vagueee
But also why does he get flashbacks of old mc’s ex and having trauma and panic reactions as if it happened to him? I don’t want him being weak against him I want him fighting him cause why tf did he play with old mc like that and wdym he was there while he was being abused by sponsors and shit like tffffff I want him dead
Also can y’all recommend green flag ml manhwas where he looks like daejun?” His build and face and specifically the hairstyl
If he was Sihyeon, chan might have been a ml of sorts but he's not, and the group members are still like strangers to him, so Daejun being the ml makes the only sense
The memories are in the head, you can be aware it's delusions but still feel the effect, it's like having a nightmare that affects you irl sometimes
I mean I get it but story-wise I hate it, seeing how villains treat the old mc and then new mc still having vulnerability against them in stories like this is annoying to me, I just want them stepping in and getting revenge etc, not being weak against them and being mistreated again or smth
I understand that but so far, it's been about the mc trying to understand his new life and now his love life and he hasn't exactly met the villain or even know of the identity so I'd say he doesn't exactly have the opportunity to fight against them rn
Ye that’s the logic I’m going with too, but also I’m sad at the wasted potential of chan (and others too) ToT, it’s like with each even slightly possible character that flirted etc I could see a unique way of it developing romance so Im sad it’s a comic and not an actual dating sim game to explore teach pairing and I just gotta settle with the story of him with one person lol
The comic teased potential ml-s way too much
Okay this was hellaaaa annoying, like ok they both subconsciously loved each other and were too dumb to figure it out, but dohun only just got hurt here,
Like iksu is such a shit friend, bro didn’t even hesitate to cut off his best friend of that many years just cause the guy he only just started dating who he doesn’t even LIKE told him to stay away from dohun??? Are you kidding me? Not even talking about how he just started ghosting him when he first started dating and when Dohun came to see where the hell he’s been he has the audacity to get snappy with him as if dohun is in the wrong…
Like the entire time dohun was popular but stuck to him cause he chose him, and iksu acts like the only reason he stuck to dohun is cause he just didn’t have anyone else… like their friendship doesn’t mean shit to iksu
And then it’s annoying how big of a chunk of the story was iksu being with sunbae like bro idgaf I don’t wanna see them being together?!?!?! Stop showing me that shit?? And the entire time they both acted as if they don’t realize their own weird behavior is cause they subconsciously already loved the other so how the hell did it jump from the fight about him choosing the sunbae or his event and then suddenly it’s his event and him being there has a romantic connotation and they’re suddenly having sex and deciding to date??? Like bro the entire time dohun didn’t even get that he was being jealous cause he likes iksu, and iksu didn’t know he likes dohun either or that dohun likes him, so him deciding to pick dohun’ a event over sunbae shouldn’t have had a romantic “I choose you” vibe, it’s like we skipped a lot of steps
And then I don’t feel bad for the sunbae either cause bro could immediately tell that the other two love each other and there’s something there even if those idiots didn’t know, he still chose to get in between them instead of getting them to realize and get together, or at least to acknowledge they have something going on I shouldn’t try to get in between, iksu was feeling absolutely nothing for him and he still pushed forward with all the “ok then try dating me anyway” crap, and then got more and more shameless with asking him to cut off his best friend, for a “casual dating” relationship? When you know he doesn’t like you? When you started this KNOWING he doesn’t like you and only has unrealized feelings for his friend? Are you delusional, stupid, or an asshole?
Even his very first choice of deciding to go to the game with the sunbae just cause he was offered when they both didn’t manage to get tickets(the time dohun actually managed to and was gonna surprise him), like it’s been THEIR thing since elementary school, how is your immediate answer not “oh I appreciate it but if my friend who i watched every game with since elementary cant come then I don’t wanna go without him either”??? If the tables were turned I can bet 110% dohun would NEVER go alone or with someone else just cause they offered if he knew iksu cant come, bro even literally paid insane prices just to get them BOTH tickets and surprise him, not just himself but BOTH, dohun literally deserves a better friend and lover than this…
