i saw criticism for the prince and how he’s leading his fiancé on when he’s falling for mc but isn’t his wife doing this same with the villainess?? why is he the only one getting dragged for that… or am i mistaking the situation (its possible since i’ve just been keeping up with the updates so im kind of forgetting the situation)
its one of the few shounen ai i rlly enjoyed, i feel like they don’t make these type nowadays which sucks, (all i see is historical, poorly made ones or ones that go on for like 100+ chapters). im sad that the second couple was kind of rushed and didn’t have a satisfying conclusion, it was more so hinted at. i wish there were more chapters haha, i miss them alrdy
at the rate this is going it’s going to pull a “will the roasted beans sprout” (another bl) and they’ll all have a competition about who can most violate mc best to the point he gets a stockholm syndrome thing going on or to where he’s forced to take pity on them bc “their love is just so misunderstood.”
as much as i’m rooting for the prince, i deadass wont be surprised if he somehow finds out about the hickey’s and thinks it’s free game to mark his territory out of competitiveness, mc’s consent or not (which we know mc won’t be giving so..)
im calling it. IM CALLING IT
ugh i hate flashbacks in comics, i dont rlly care abt what happened that led up to current events, i just want the current events to progress alrdy
its also frustrating since they’re faces don’t change so other than the tiniest hair difference, so it’s hard to see what’s happening in the present and the past. anyone wanna hmu when they’ve finished with the flashbacks?
who’s gonna tell female mlm authors that sexual assault isn’t a cute and quirky misunderstood way of flirting
i was wondering if that was how her name is supposed to be written, her real name, ania, but with the careless orphanage that didn’t even have her papers, loid just assumed it was spelled anya.
everyone was right, NO one here is good for the beta i was hoping the alpha would be a bit better only for him to be just as bad, if not worse than the omega. these aren’t quirky mistakes that can be redeemed, these are the most degrading, violating crimes that could ever be committed and has NO justification for it.
we need to leave this trope of treating sexual abuse as a minimal drama/ conflict back in the 2000’s yaoi days, where they treated s/a like misunderstood flirting. im dropping this, i tried to ignore it for the sake of finding some beta content, but i think i prefer the bs plot where they turn beta’s into omega’s more than this. (that’s a lie, both are bad, pls burn both of these to the ground, ty)
i literally don’t get the appeal of these psychotic love interests or why it’s a big trend for yaoi authors to do this.
all the hate for the alpha is making me root for him ngl lmfao
think abt it, bro’s biggest crime is setting firm boundaries and needing time to think abt his feelings , like yeah, he may be a bit insistent and pushy, but that’s nothing compared to the omega drugging the beta.
im just glad a beta is finally being appreciated the way they deserve, im fine with whoever he ends up with but i was rooting for the alpha a bit lol
i cant find any that hold my attention span, either boring as hell or they decide not to commit to the beta part cuz they want their cute and kinky pregnancy scenes so they turn the beta into an omega :))) LOOKING AT YOU BUTLER, IVE NEVER BEEN MORE BETRAYED!!!
anyway if you have any hidden alpha x beta gems send them my way pls
edit:
so i did my own reasearch and i’m keeping this up for other alpha x beta fans to interact with.
i found this list which helped narrow things down!

I will be starting with My Master, I originally avoided it bc i absolutely hate the childhood friends to lovers trope, mainly bc it was ruined for me but i’m going to give it a chance since the art style is right up my ally and the dynamic seems tolerable.
eunyool was very cute this chapter~（＾∇＾）love this side of him, he’s growing on me more which i’m rlly happy abt! (*´︶`*)
eunyool frustrated me to hell and back but i’m glad he firmly defended himself and managed to communicate properly omg, literally felt my soul get cleansed and purified when he shut that harrasser down, i honestly thought it’d never happen. i especially liked when their female friend was upset with eunyool for not communicating with his bf, i felt so seen and i was so glad it was acknowledged that he was being unreasonable lmao. he’s still very annoying ngl, i don’t like how he’s toxic and his victim mentality gets exhausting to the point where i want to tell his bf to leave his ass at times but i’m really rooting for his character development and growth!! he has his flaws but i do see progress being made which is a relief, but the abuse on his part to his bf and it being treated like comedy is making this more frustrating for me too lol.
this is definitely realistic and eunyool feels like a complex albeit frustrating character but it’s at an understandable light. i guess i have a love hate relationship with his ass, hope he improves more
oh wow i remember i started reading this in 2021, completely forgot abt it
this story IS SO CUTE, i love the concept and the funny moments are SO FUNNNYY. but the whole step brother incest thing is still uncomfortable they grew up together, so the excuse that they aren’t blood related doesn’t apply, they were family. it’s even more uncomfortable when it appears the youngest is still a minor. idk why ppl think they can get a pass to accept the advances of a minor if they’re the ones who initiate and pursue the older, it’s really not, and more so in this case because they have the familial title.
then it kept escalating with the fetishes and kinks? i think my overall problem with it is the romance. this would’ve been better off as a platonic relationship because it just feels too weird for me.
in the comic’s defense though, it is explicitly stated and hinted at, so i knew what i was signing up for. still can’t help but be disappointed, i hoped it would’ve been more vague with the romantic aspects, but they get bolder. the way they try to justify and excuse it due to the peculiar circumstances rubs me the wrong way too.
but if you’re not at all concerned with the ethical aspects of it, i definitely recommend this!
