Ah so the original one was a dumbass....she bent to the emperor's every whim and then acted surprised during the ritual thing as if this wasn't what he was like all this time. I'm glad current MC is less insufferable than her because fuck knows if this story followed the original tineline, I would've dropped it a long time ago

ML started off like any other shitty ML who is like "I see someone who is a little different and he isn't kissing my ass because of my wealth so, I want to make him fall for me cause he isn't like other people". But ML is starting to grow on me more and more. I especially liked that he was stern with MC's opportunistic family

This is a personal preference but I don't love feminine ukes. If the story is good enough, I can overlook it but a manly strong omega uke cannot be beaten! I'm surprised that the author "kiss me liar" who gave us one of the most feminine ukes ever also gave us this masterpiece. I'm pleasanly surprised

I would say that Zig writes pretty diverse characters, I have read most of the omegaverse novels written by Zig and the transitions between one and another is pretty interesting, we have Yeonwoo in Kiss me liar described as a walking beauty with “feminine” features and then we have Dane from Desire me if you can that’s really independent and manly, and both of them are omegas.
Josh and Chase are a clear example of how their traits as “alpha” or “omega” don’t define their submission or dominance, they just develop their dynamic while the relationship advances.
I love Zig (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

Yeonwoo was a beta turned omega. And yes he is feminine, because of Keith's taste.
If you followed that author early on, you would have known who was meant for Grayson from the very beginning, because she mentioned the name: Dane Striker and his secondary gender: dominant omega, on twitter back then. This spring she wrote that Grayson's story was the first she came up with when she started with omegaverse....that was 10 years ago.... .
So Dane was set in stone to become Grayson's pair from the beginning. And if you read Kiss me liar you know how Dane looks like and what he is like.
So there is an even manlier uke than Josh.:D

I've started thinking lately that some beautiful art is wasted on some stories. The art in this one is so suited for a historical setting. The story itself was so promising in the beginning. But the second The author nerfed MC's character and turned him into a love sick puppy vying for the love of abusive ML...that's when this whole thing was ruined for me.
No just no. Everyone is awful
