the marriage scene between the first couple, where it's quite late in their relationship and have decided to stay together for the baby or Hye-sung will quite literally die. Hye-sung rejected Dojin the first time, because he didn't feel ready (being married at age 20 is very odd in Korea, its too young in your career to be worth considering unless you are lined up to marry by your parents or you're already well off,) but has second doubts on what marriage is when he sees the relationship between Dojin's parents, and worries for answering that question in Byul's future. Which is a fair assessment. The issue is this all happens within one short chapter, and every step of the way to it reads like sandpaper. Hye-sung's marriage preposal isn't really a preposal, he's again doing this just because Dojin wants to, and for Byul, while Dojin talks to him like he's someone he met at a work function and they're now sharing drinks at a bar. And so it continues on the same. You do very briefly get to see a glimpse of what could be with Dojin putting on the wedding dress and his dialogue after, but it's outweighed by the other sixty chapters to reach that point.

Love is an Illusion! - Penguin Random House

A staplehood of yaoi/BL and omegaverse is dubious/no consent sex scenes. This obviously does not appeal to everyone and I would never say to someone who doesn't like this content that they are wrong for not doing so. However, this is definitely a taboo subject and many people, women especially, enjoy reading this content in fiction and may even have fantasies about this that are satisfied solely through this type fiction. People who are into CNC and reluctance often rely on media like this to satisfy those fantasies. Or maybe they just enjoy reading this. This took me for a ride. At various points I was thinking everything from giving this 2 stars and dnfing the series, to finally giving it what - 3 1/2 stars? 4??? Look at that cover. Don't they look like a sweet and loving couple? Ha ha. Banish that thought from your mind. Maybe they eventually turn into that, I don't know, but their relationship in this first volume is nothing but rape and resentment.Dojin is a singer in a popular band and comes from a wealthy family composed almost entirely of Alphas. Due to his family constantly pressuring him to pair up with an Omega, he hates Omegas and only has sex with Betas or other Alphas. Until he meets Hye-sung. For some reason, having sex with Hye-sung inspires him to write incredible songs. Too bad Hye-sung resents Dojin for making him realize he's an Omega.

The main characters are rough around the edges and rough around each other. Hye-sung made me wanna toss the book across the room occasionally. Yet somehow all in all it works?? And I am eager to get my hand on the next volume? In a later scene, Hye-sung sleepwalks into Dojin's room (they're living together by this point, for reasons) and starts throwing himself at Dojin and begging for sex. This one ends up upsetting them both. In the next couple sex scenes, it looks kind of like Dojin is going through some sort of heat cycle of his own and ends up forcing himself on Hye-sung. The very last sex scene is particularly horrible, with Dojin doing the Alpha equivalent of giving him a date rape drug (purposely releasing his pheromones around Hye-sung). The worst thing this series does is put a very standard BL couple in the middle of the other story lines, and another omega with a much more deeply messed up personality in a much more sensical similar narrative to the first couple. Hye-sung and the BFF were honestly the most annoying parts for me. There is only so much Hye-sung’s “stupidity” could be used as an excuse for some of the frustrating choices he made through this book. The only likable characters here were Dojin’s family and sadly we don’t see them often enough to make reading this series enjoyable. So, I believe people are upset about reading this mature BL omegaverse manwha and seeing the amount of dc/nc and demonizing the book when this is very common and often highlighted in both genres.While I'm definitely not going to debate with you about whether you should like dubious/no consent in BL and omegaverse fiction, many educated and progressive authors use these fics to explore fantasies and cater to people like them create and these fics to share and build communities. Of course there are gross pedophilic authors that should be condemned, but most of these parties are of age. They're a terrible couple who are terrible for each other. The main thing tying them together is the fact that Hye-sung seems to be Dojin's muse (find another source of inspiration!), and Hye-sung is a dumbass whose idiocy makes Dojin understandably worried. Hye-sung, there are no non-sketchy ways for you to make money fast, so stop falling for scams! The hit Boys' Love omegaverse webtoon from Lezhin is now in print! In this Mature-rated romcom, a man who thinks he's an Alpha finds out that he isn't...when he gets up close and personal with an Alpha who sees through him. At first I was gonna mark this as dubious consent, but besties there’s literally multiple scenes of assault 💀 Am I surprised? No. Am I still gonna buy the rest of the volumes? Yes.
