i don’t have the correct words to accurately depict how satisfying and fulfilling this story was—truly just an amazing plotline. it starts us off already in a really high-stress situation, with two of the main characters surrounded by fire, and then everything else is a flashback that leads up to that moment. it’s about 85 chapters before we’re back in that room with the fire, and within those 85 chapters, so much happens to the characters. there’s so much growth. so much change. so much fluff. there are slight bits of angst, but nothing quite compares to the climax of being trapped in that room with the fire.

i really appreciated how well done this was. there was also an insinuation that one of the female main characters was somehow manipulating the universe through her storytelling. it wasn’t exactly confirmed whether this was actually happening or if it was just a lot of coincidences, but either way i loved how they tied everything together. before anyone even suspects she’s impacting the story, there are a bunch of moments where the characters are like, “what she’s writing is really accurate to what actually happened,” and as readers you kind of just assume she was observing or got lucky. but then she herself starts noticing how similar the coincidences are, and decides to write down a change—and the change genuinely happens. so whether or not this was coincidence or some kind of magic, we never fully know, but i really like it that way. it lets the reader interpret what was actually going on the entire time.

i think all of the characters were really enjoyable and well thought out—even the ones we see as antagonists throughout the story have redeeming qualities, and you begin to understand why they act the way they do. it doesn’t make their actions okay, but it gives them nuance.

i truly think this story broke a lot of boundaries in the boys love genre. one example being that the bottom is actually taller than the top, which never happens in BL. i honestly thought the taller one was going to be the top at first, especially after he had his growth spurt, but i was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t change it. their interactions just felt so human. a lot of times BL characters are boxed into certain archetypes, but what i loved here is that they felt like real people. how they loved each other, how they grew, how they interacted—it all felt very real and authentic.

i couldn’t recommend this story enough. it’s one of a kind, beautiful, and just an amazing read. please read it if you have the chance. phenomenally done.

genuinely phenomenal. there are still some unanswered questions though: why’d they put so much emphasis on the royal family & totality if it never really mattered to the plot? to get the readers off track maybe? they said that lewellyn is biologically different somehow but they never actually spoke about why. is it related to the injections he got as a kid? was he ever really different at all— or was it a way to alienate him and make him an “animal” (similar to what they did in nazi germany)?

one of the best BLs i’ve read in awhile.

wow. this was quite the read. i initially went into this story for the romance—i was really only after that aspect—but what kept me reading were the unique qualities of the story itself. i found myself enjoying every chapter because it explored real-world issues in a digestible way, while also handling them with a lot of care and appropriateness. some scenes even made me emotional, which is rare for me. i tend to be pretty detached when it comes to certain issues, but without giving any spoilers, there were parts of the story that hit way too close to real life—closer than most stories ever get.

one major theme, obviously, dealt with things like racism, prejudice, sexism, and homophobia, and how religion can tie into and influence all of those. for a story that was advertised more as a romance-with-a-college-life-twist featuring animal characteristics, i was genuinely surprised by how deeply it dove into these serious topics. that’s exactly why i ended up putting it in my favorites folder.

this definitely isn’t a read for anyone just looking for romance—while romance does exist, it’s far from the focus. it shows up pretty sparingly, and there’s not even a kiss. but what really made me love this story was the emotional impact and how it mirrored so many real-life struggles through a fictional lens. so if you’re looking for something thought-provoking that reflects our society while exploring the dynamics of another, this is absolutely worth reading.

i lovedddd how this one concluded! so well done and adorable. this entire read was super fluffy and entertaining.

very cute story! a lot of cliches ╮(￣▽￣)╭ my only complaint is i wish the romance didn’t seem so random?? the main character seemed super straight until maybe the final 10 chapters. i feel like we could’ve gotten more romance for a BL :P

this ending was so rushed. sooo many unanswered questions about the system. how it was seen. about the guidebook. so so so sad. could have been sooo peak if only they answered some more questions. who’s the person who ate the stone? what’s the significance of the pain indicator? what happened in his past life? was it a past life at all? this was sooo enjoyable to read it’s genuinely such a pity that we got no kiss & the romance was sudden.

i don’t understand how people hate him. bro is such a cheeky little green flag (づ￣ ³￣)づ

words can’t even begin to describe how i felt reading this story. this is definitely one of my favorite things i’ve ever read. it felt so real. so raw. every chapter had a purpose—it never dragged. the ending is so bittersweet, but so realistic. it’s beautifully done.

the art style isn’t really my cup of tea, but the symbolism is insane, and the dialogue between the characters + the narration is masterfully done. i seriously can’t even articulate how much this story affected me. it’s one of those rare ones i took a random chance on, and i’m just so, so glad i did.

even the trauma in the story was handled so well—it didn’t feel glorified at all. and the way it explores love… like, what does it really mean to be in love? what is love? do people experience it differently? it makes you feel all of that.

this story is just so fucking beautiful. criminally underrated. amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing. life-altering. i’m so, so, so glad i read it. unbelievably well done.

shout out to all the translators out there that allow us to read these stories. you guys are goated. ignore the hate!!

makoto is absolutely adorable. like his personality is top tier. also, luca mentioned at one point being poly— does that mean he’s poly currently? makoto doesn’t care? i wish we learned more about that bc that’s all i could think about (〜￣△￣)〜

sure, bud can have a butt fetish. who cares. but tell me why we’re normalizing him checking out the butt of his ex-girlfriend and openly complimenting it. just is very strange to me. maybe i’m being sensitive but it just felt strange ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

joowon was always the better choice for haesoo. the issue was that joowon struggled to find the best way to support haesoo, and he was also in denial about his own emotions. however, joowon’s love was always his top priority in his relationship with haesoo. he consistently put haesoo first, even when it meant making difficult decisions because of their complicated stepbrother dynamic. joowon prioritized haesoo’s happiness, even if it caused him some pain.

on the other hand, many people misunderstand taku’s intentions and believe he’s the better choice. but in reality, taku was never the better choice. his love was selfish. taku was drawn to haesoo because haesoo gave him a sense of novelty, and while taku did have feelings for haesoo, the way he treated him was often manipulative and pushy. taku would pressure haesoo into situations that haesoo wouldn’t have chosen on his own, making haesoo feel uncomfortable and easily persuaded.

readers who think taku is the better choice may focus on how he fell in love later, or how he showed emotion or kindness on occasion, but they overlook everything joowon and haesoo went through together. joowon went to extreme lengths to make haesoo happy, even if his approach wasn’t always perfect. from haesoo’s perspective, it’s easy to underestimate the effort joowon put into their relationship, but it becomes clear in the later chapters that joowon has always had haesoo’s best interests at heart.

meanwhile, taku always prioritized his own emotions, which led to a possessive love. his feelings for haesoo were driven more by the newness haesoo brought into his life, rather than genuinely loving haesoo for who he was. taku admits that his love was selfish. in contrast, while joowon also had a possessive side, his actions came from a place of love—not competition or a desire for something new. joowon loved haesoo for who he was, not because of how haesoo made him feel.

if you reread the story with a more open mind and a deeper understanding of haesoo and joowon’s relationship from the beginning, it becomes clear that they’re the true endgame. their love is pure and built on a deep bond. taku’s feelings were real, but they were mostly driven by the new experiences haesoo gave him, rather than truly loving haesoo as a person. this is why taku’s love was possessive and why he was able to move on after three years, while joowon was never able to move on.

goddddd she’s so beautiful i cannot

the art style is SOOO pretty. any recs similar would be lovely!

was this just dropped or something? so many questions to be answered wtf :/ i can’t believe i read this whole thing only to be hit with “the end” with no answers lol

this was the first omegaverse story i ever read that genuinely made me question the logic of the worldbuilding in these types of stories. it highlighted just how exaggerated and toxic many of the common tropes can be—not just for the main characters, but for everyone around them. what stood out to me most was how the story challenges the idea that people are defined by their biology. instead, it argues that people are who they are because they’re human, and i found that message really endearing.

the story starts off kind of poking fun at omegaverse clichés, but then it shifts into something deeper. it explores real-world prejudice—how it shapes our behavior and interactions—and shows how we can grow past it to become more accepting, empathetic people. i didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as i did. it’s not one of those stories i’m adding to my favorites because the plot was super intense or addicting. i’m adding it because the message was handled thoughtfully, and the execution felt sincere and impactful.

the art was decent, and the pacing was just right. if it had been any longer, i think it would’ve started to drag, so i appreciate the author knowing when to wrap things up. also, the portrayal of toxic relationships—especially the side characters’ dynamic—was done in a way that made a strong point. even in a world where alphas and omegas are “meant” to be together, it showed that relationships aren’t about biology or destiny. if someone isn’t a good person, then you shouldn’t stay with them, and you can choose yourself instead.

overall, this story took a concept that’s often overdone and used it in a really fresh, meaningful way. i definitely recommend it.
