Been a while since I've read this but I read the whole egg backstory and bruhhhhh. The King really fucked up, like yeah he could love who he wanted to but he then decided to have another kid without caring how that would affect his other son. Like this crown prince spent years and essentially his whole life preparing to be king, psychologically convincing himself that he didn't need freedom and never would because his father didn't seem to have plans for more kids. Only to be abandoned by everyone because there was a new heir and to essentially be told "Be happy! You get freedom!" when he doesn't know anything else! Then after his suicide attempt it seems that only his mother cares for him, cause where is his bitch father at?! Where is his father seeing the consequences of his freedom?! He's still by the side of his new lover and the new heir, leaving behind the old heir. It gets worse though because after losing the Queen and the lover (alongside the new heir) the son of a bitch still has the audacity to only care about them and the new heir. He doesn't mention a single time his other son who literally felt that without the position as crown prince, he had no reason to live. But it gets even worse, because the king has the nerve to say he wants his new child to experience freedom and to see the sky BUT the kid wouldn't be able to. As the new heir, the kid would be forbidden from leaving the palace, so they wouldn't be able to see freedom, UNLESS this bastard king had made the decision to change succession rules. In which case, he could've done it before, but he just wasn't compelled to do so. Only he would have for his new youngest child, and while yes it would have ensured Sulkin had the throne, that would still be shitty in its own way. Cause what do you mean you are willing to bend and break rules for this specific child but are willing to burden your other children?
The king truly fucked up. And he has the audacity to still not care about his son who tried to die after losing his position as heir. The king only sees the queen and lover dying as punishment, but his son? Was that not part of it? Did that not hurt him in the slightest? Even the egg not hatching was a punishment, but not Sulkin breaking mentally?! BUT what if the egg had hatched? Would the king actually get up and deal with that situation? Honestly, I got so pissed when everyone truly forgot about Sulkin, poor kid.

Literallyyyy ur soo right. Like ik it's part of their culture so the least the king couldve done was keep it in his pants since he's raised his other son pretty much to be a king. Amd it's like he just grew tired of his wife cs she got old and moved on to a younger wife that shits weird as I'm so shocked the son even wanted to take care of that son of a bitch after he basically ditched his entire family js to be w that young wife.

It is made clear in the beginning that Ilya is way older than Khalid, mostly because it is a political marriage. Ilya was the only Omega of his country's royal family, unwanted mostly, and Khalid was the young king in a country that values omegas. Although Ilya found Khalid interesting, it wasn't because of romantic love, but because he has never been treated like an equal by others. And it seems Khalid developed some sort of puppy love for Ilya, however that was one sided.
Over time the two began to care about each other, but it wasn't like lovers but just two people caught in political drama. It wasn't until years later that both actually developed a romantic relationship based on the more platonic feelings from the past and how they valued each other in the present. They didn't even act lovey-dovey until the Civil War ended. So yeah you can be put off by the political marriage between an 18 year old and 10 year old, but there wasn't anything romantic or sexual until 8 years later (in which both were apart due to a civil war).

I got my timeline from this: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kouguu_no_omega/uu/br_chapter-194172/pg-1/
It states Ilya 18-26. It's also stated Khalid is 10 when they get married and he's 18 at the end, thus 8 year time skip. 18+8= 26, so Ilya is 18 at the time of the marriage and they have an 8 year age gap.
But regardless, it stands that their marriage was political with platonic feelings at the beginning.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's overall good but the 2nd Male Lead Syndrome (is that how it's called?) Got me so hard. Once the knight was not confirmed as end-game, I kinda dipped. So if anyone reads this, THE KNIGHT IS NOT THE ML. Like, it's not like I hate the wizard guy, but I just saw him as the typical flirty guy. I read a recent chapter and I can't even be excited about the romance 'cause sir Joseph deserved better!
╥﹏╥ ╥﹏╥ ╥﹏╥

Brooooo if you hate toxic ass shit, don't read it. Move on. There is so much wholesome shit out there. I personally don't interact with what I don't like - like sub/dom verse stuff, I just avoid it and leave ppl alone cause it ain't my business. Also, I know the difference between fiction and reality so it's not like I'm gonna apply what I see here to real life. I have morals that apply to real ppl but enjoy toxic shit in fiction because I know it's not real and that I would stand up against it in real life.

One of my earliest reads, I was there when it was being published so nostalgia lol. It would have been better if ml had just been mean to MC and not done all that he did BUT as it is a nostalgic read, I don't care all the much. Generally, if the overall story is good I can overlook any and all errors, might reread again.

Interestingly enough, I like the development. Cause to make it clear, MC wanted to end the bond from the start, the only thing holding him back was the high cost (in terms of money and health risk) since he could not afford on his own the better surgery. However, forgetting the father's involvement, MC was suffering bc the ML used the bond to manipulate MC. In the first few chapters, the ML forced the MC to go into heat. Now without the bond, the ML HAS to rebuild the relationship if he wants another chance, not rely on the bond to tie the MC. Further, their relationship will be based on actual feelings if they do get back together.
Honestly, I feel like I'm the only one who is excited to see what happens lol

Well it seems that all his salary (from working at his friend’s family's restaurant) went to his son's treatment. And my assumption, based on the fact that only recently did his son start having symptoms, is that any savings he had (for the surgery or not) would have also been used for his son's treatment.

1. JK is going to find KD and he's gonna try to convince/force KD to go back to Seoul.
2. KD will refuse and having nothing truly better to do, JK will stay.
3. I feel like their relationship will get better, but JK is still going to see it as transactional and will hurt KD (who might kick JK out of his life for a bit again for being a jerk).
It just makes sense for JK to enter KD's world this time around. And I'm sure KD would refuse to leave even if it meant JK's team hiring him again or JK paying him for a sexual relationship, because now it's no longer about money - the thing being held over KD for so long - it's about KD as a person with wants and needs. Once his grandmother passes away, he'll be even more free to live for himself and JK will have nothing but the debt hanging over KD (but of course that will only make things worse bc KD will only see JK as one more debt collector).
I am not one to be picky about stories, cause it ain't real so I don't care, BUT I just can't. Because I have read the original story and because I loved Yullur, I just can't see the romance. I can't really see it when Yullur helped raise Saya and he was in love with Louie. I was expecting for Yullur to reject Saya and leave, then Saya would fall for someone else. BUT NO, they actually get together and that is so (⊙…⊙ )
