Hye-sung spent his entire life believing he was an Alpha, the jackpot of the genetic lottery. But hi...

Something else. When I first clicked on this manga I thought it was gonna be all smuts and shits (because of the cover and the premise/sypnosis/description), and they live happily ever after after like 20 chapters, but for the author to give the characters actual character? For the plot to be an actual plot?

To be completely honest, I'm not in love with this book, but I am hooked and I think it will stay that way till the end (hopefully).

The way the characters grew? The way they matured? The way they realized things? You don't see that everyday.

The author managed to pull something that not a lot of authors are able to do, and that's fiction imitating life, where the characters doesn't grow overnight, but instead in a period of time, which is realistic and slaps you back to reality. The characters also took their time realizing their feelings but you know, when they did it made sense, and there's an actual reason that they're in love— although if you want you can also regard Umehiko's feelings for Theo as Stockholm syndrome, but for me, I don't think that's the case and it's evident on Umehiko's thoughts on going home, but I'm not a psychologist so don't quote me on that— They're just— god, I hope the ending doesn't get fucked up because I'll bawl. This is going so good.

so to rate this:

Story: 4/5 (the amount of sex scenes got me in a turmoil)
Art: 5/5 (I'm a bit biased with this one cause I like the art style a lot)
Characters: 5/5

I actually finished this awhile back, but I'm coming back to give a simple review because I'm starting to think my shit matters. Anyways this story stands as:

Story: 4.5/5
Art: 5/5
Character: 5/5

The story's great and the characters are lovable. The art's very nice too.

So here's a gentle and kinds reminder for those who haven't read this yet:
If it's not for you, then it's not for you, click off and find a different story, there's no need for you to continue reading if you don't find it interesting, no one's forcing you to read, if you have nothing else to read maybe it's time to step back and get another hobby.

The art's good, the chibis are especially cute, but idk, I'm not hooked, don't get me wrong, this kinda reminds me of Dangerous Convenience Store (which I kinda enjoyed), but there's no depth?

The top's uh, painfully big but other than that he kinda sounds like a little shit (I hated how he said ‘I like them easy’), meanwhile the bottom's naive? like... very naive to the point I feel bad. He sounds like a smart student seeing how he's tutoring someone, so idk. Maybe it's gonna go all rose tinted glasses, where a disaster is brewing at the background while they're being lovey dovey? Maybe he'll ghost him after this chapter? Idk, but I'm dropping this, might reread once it accumulate more chapters, but for now, it's a drop for me.

the more I read this story the more I find a resemblance between him and Park Seo-joon, they look a like especially in that last panel of chapter 20

We all want to see Jaekyung crying, suffering, and heartbroken lol. In fact if Dan somehow falls in love with somebody else and shatter Jaekyung's heart like crazy, we'd all be cheering for it lol.

I'm frustratingly waiting for Jaekyung's downfall, and when it happens, I hope it's good af.

If you're so keen on being a Dojin stan and would not want to here my thoughts on this one, better skedaddle because, oh boy, you'll get mad at me for this.

Anyways, okay first of all, someone pointed out how Dojin didn't rape Hyesung because he was in his heat. Might I remind you, that a) Hyesung was not his right state of mind because of his heat; b) Dojin was in the RIGHT STATE OF MIND; and c) Dojin knew that Hyesung would just on him that second time Hyesung went on heat but he still didn't stop Hyesung. Second, I love Byul and all but... It's Hyesung's body? And whether or not he wants to get an embryo out of his womb was supposed to be his decision, not Dojin's— HYESUNG'S. Hyesung's the one carrying the baby, so it's within his rights to get that embryo out, it's yet to even be a fetus lol. Third, imagine growing up a certain belief and that belief going 360 overnight? Yep, that's what happened to Hyesung. It's not easy to overturn the belief you had injected into your system, it's like telling a chronic smoker (which is treated by slowly reducing the amount of cigars they consume per day because if you just cut it off their body reacts negatively) to stop smoking, when it's already part of their body's routine. So, Hyesung running away from “the kind, rich, handsome, understanding alpha” that Dojin is is completely and utterly understandable. Fourth, Hyesung slept with another man? (I think this was after Byul was born? Idk, my current rereading chapter is at 20 so I forgot) Well, so? It's not like he knew he was bonded to Dojin and it's not like they were going out at that point, honestly, never, at any given point, did they explicitly stated that they were going out lol, they just became a couple after finding out they were bonded, and somehow just jumped to getting engaged. Fifth, ngl Hyesung deserved to be compensated, he's a carrying a baby for pete's sake, a baby he was unwilling to have (at first) but was coerced to by Dojin. So, all the things Dojin spent on Hyesung and the money he was gonna compensate Hyesung was, was all damn deserved lol. Sixth, it's annoying how some (if not a lot) if you make it sound like Dojin's the victim, when Hyesung's clearly the victim. Again, let's go back to the first statement, Hyesung was not on his right mind, he was experiencing his first few heat cycles. It might not be the same, but it's comparable to someone getting drunk and getting laid (even if permission was given, a drunk person's consent SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS A VALID CONSENT). Lastly, good god, dude somehow redeemed himself after all the drama during and a brief timeline after the pregnancy, so hooray for that.

People might say I just like Hyesung that's why I'm hating on Dojin— No. No, not really. I don't really like him that much, but I grew to like him when he was everything about him unfolded... Ah! Let's also add the familial trauma his parents had given him to the reasons why Hyesung is the victim and not Dojin... Anyways, yep, when Hyesung was unraveled to us, he somehow warmed up to me, while Dojin, Idk, he's just rich lol. His parents aren't problematic, his sibling's aren't problematic. His life's sailing smoothly.

So maybe, I do like Hyesung? I kinda feel parental towards him lol.

As for Dojun and Heesoo, Idk, they're okay, but they're not my cup of tea? Or maybe I'm not fond of reading another couple's story lol, it happens a lot (Since Idk, I don't like Chanwoo and MD). But, yep, I don't like them that much, I'm not as attached to them, maybe if their story was not in this book but in a different book? Like, they click, but they didn't click enough in this manhwa and they should have one on their own.

For the last couple, goddammit. I don't know their names, I don't want to know their names, they are known as... Side Character 1, and Side Character 2. Kidding aside, by the time that I reached their story I felt like LIAI has already ran it's course and another story is just well— It's a no for me— so I skipped it, as well as Dojin's sister's affair (wanted to but idk, felt off).

Final thoughts, this is a pretty good story, that I'd find myself enjoying without criticism if I was still 16-18. Felt too dragged out with the side stories but if you like the characters enough to bother reading through it then good for you.

tl;dr: Hyesung's a victim, Dojin's a piece of shit, Dojun&Haesoo's story was just okay, and the last side character, well, i dont know them.

I'm about to go and read the raws , I'd probably only understand half of what they're saying tho lol

I guess having the real world experiencing of being the lover but not the one receiving the love would make someone understand the beta's actions.

As for the alpha, there are some who're too immersed with their feelings for someone that even when they lose it they still think they have it, it's a masochistic obsession that would probably only be resolved once they realize the their feelings or they get together with that person.

As for the omega, I kinda think he has inferiority complex that leads to superiority complex or something. He's fucked up in so many ways.

so in conclusion, if the manipulating bitch of an omega and the idiot masochistic obsessive alpha doesn't end up together, I'd pick the masochistic alpha any other day for him lol, the amount of mental toll he'd get from that omega is obvious from the omega's actions, although the emotional pain he'd experience from loving that stupid alpha is tremendous, if that shits gets an IDK just insert any red flag tops that had complete overhaul I'd rather that be the end game, but idk, just leave him alone.
