After leaving the next morning, Kyungsoo would take Hye-sung with him to a concert where he would find Dojin performing, who is startled to see Hye-sung in the audience. Approaching him with a face mask on, he is berated for how Hye-sung felt he was treated. Dojin joins his family who discusses the genetic make-up of their generation, and Dojin denies that he is meeting up with an Omega.

Love is an Illusion! Vol. 1 by Fargo | Penguin Random House

And all of this example to say the fundamental problem I have with this first couple; they don't seem to affect each other, or change, other than physically, sexually. They change because of Byul through out most of the arc, as their main crutch. They don't communicate like the other pairings do, if any at all, they seem to simply talk around each other and never solve that issue until a whole 74 chapters into the comic. They commit to each other with dialogue that sounds like a couple about ready to go through a divorce and I grew tired and frustrated by it when the other couples are contained within the same story. Love is an illusion, and it feels that way with Dojin and Hyesung until the very end, in-between the sex, the extremely decorated cute moments, and everyone fawning over their baby. I read somewhere that this was supposed to be a comedy, but I hardly laughed. Hye-sung has spent his entire life thinking he was a recessive Alpha, but, while working as a waiter at a party, he meets Dojin, a dominant Alpha, enters his first heat cycle, and discovers that he's actually an Omega. Specifically, he's a recessive Omega, so he'll likely have difficulty finding medication that can suppress his heat cycle and it'll be harder for him to get pregnant. It starts as a fling, but they talk. They do things together that indicate that there is a mutual toleration, even enjoyment, of each others company. In-between the chapters where the first couple continues it is more succinctly written in what their relationship is and that it is a relationship where you can read it and go "yes, these two people are together, or that is a possibility" Looking at people who enjoy reading mature and smutty series, the stereotype is a sassy but submissive main character with a suave sexy dominant love interest. The main characters doesn't like the male lead, but their sexual chemistry is too strong. This baseline is very common in mature works of fiction and is taken in a new way in BL and omegaverse pieces of fiction.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. Immediately afterwards, you are met with Dojun and Heesoo and how their relationship is progressing, in-secret to the rest of the world, and Dojun is an absolutely stone-faced character, so we see intro into his desires through his thoughts and actions, and him bending from his lavish life to meet heesoo in his small apartment-- because he loves Heesoo and makes that compromise because he's learning new things, including how to love again, with Heesoo. Which is a better scenario than I can say for most of my one night stands. 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. From a family who are mostly composed of Alphas yet Dojin disagrees with the assessment that such a family is incredible because of that. He is also the lead singer in a band named "Distortion" which is his current occupation. Attending a friend's party he would later contemplate this as a bad choice because Omegas were also invited to that party. Dojin saw his friend, the one who hosted the party, debating with Hye-sung that he looked like an Omega. He thought that his friend was pathetic for being unable to differentiate pheromones like he can. Dojin later came across Hye-sung in the comfort room and he smelled him. Disgusted, Park released his own pheromones to counteract Hye-sung's. Dojin does not feel what he sees as a heat cycle and adds what Hye-sung is experiencing is his problem. Nevertheless, he pulls Hye-sung away when he is approaching other guests and takes him home out of concern to rest. The next day Dojin thought he will never see Hye-sung again after walking out from him that morning. At a concert where Dojin performs, he finds and asks Hye-sung why he walked out on the person who offered him kindness. He is currently 27 years old [2]. He was born on November 2 [3]. Height: 185cm. Weight: roughly 81kg. Zodiac Sign: Scorpio Usually, it is determined by the age of twelve to fourteen whether or not someone is an Alpha or Omega. An Omega and Alpha cannot be distinguished that easily. It is generally decided by inheritance that someone becomes an Omega and they need to suppress their heat cycles by taking medicine.

Love is an Illusion! Vol. 1 by Fargo | Goodreads

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. By the end of the volume, I was rooting more for Sooyoung and Hye-sung than I was for Hye-sung and Dojin. I'd probably have liked Dojin more if it hadn't been for his mind-controlled Alpha rapist moments. On top of the main lead being the most unlikable protagonist I have ever read, I’m not even sure he actually likes his rich co-star or he’s just thirsting after the money till the very end. Dojin can sense the presence of an omega at a rooftop party that he attends with Heesoo. He overhears Hye-sung state he is an Alpha before it is suggested he go and talk to Dojin. Hye-sung walks away and is on his phone, having the intent to find a rich Omega, he is not concerned about being fired again and will prove the other speaker wrong that he cannot find someone.It'd be nice to know more about why Hye-sung has spent his entire life hiding that he's actually really good at math, and I am morbidly curious about Dojin's stiffly awkward family. But I don't know that I'm curious enough about any of that to put up with more heat cycle rapiness. I really wanted some of the warmth and sweetness of the cover art, and this volume gave me none of that. I'm reminded of Killing Stalking where people were upset about the non-consensual sex scenes among the multitude of morally wrong romance scenes in the manwha and heavily demonized people who enjoyed the medium. But I encourage people to recognize that not every piece of medium has to be wholesome and healthy to be enjoyable, and that many people can distinguish fiction from reality and would be the first people to intervene should they see a dynamic like that in real life. BFFs who lie to you for months, hiding your partner away and trying to force them to leave the country.

Love is an Illusion! Vol. 1 | Seven Seas Entertainment

I read the full Korean version of this and, oh boy, it’s been a long time since I have read a series so bad. Hye-sung spent his entire life believing he was an Alpha, the top of the genetic lottery. But his world is flipped upside down when he finds out he isn’t a proud Alpha, but a lowly Omega. After this revelation, he continuously crosses paths with Dojin, an Alpha who can’t stand Omegas. When their physical union results in a life-changing event, the two men's hot-and-cold relationship is put to the ultimate test 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. A rare type of alphas. They are hyper-masculine and have a demanding nature with traits that make them so productive which shows how outgoing and enterprising they can be.

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. Non-con and Dub-con are standard in this webtoon in general, no matter which couple you see, so I won't beat the dead horse more than I have to. 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. Their beauty and talent is a given. Extremely rare, even more than DA. They control completely their omega pheromones outside heat period. 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).
