Aside from the plot, I was mainly here for mpreg so I was delighted we got these side stories. But due to the time skip, it was kinda frustrating. I understand that side stories can be random fragments of the whole epilogue thingy but they can also be the continuation after the main story ended. So I was a bit disappointed at that point where they just got the news during first trimester then boogsh next chapter the kid is schooling already. I mean, the lack of preggy belly is just sad. I know it must have been the author's preference to have minimal airtime of uke's pregnancy. I just can't help but compare this to Keeper of the Pearl. There, uke's preggy belly was at least shown in a couple of panels when their 1st unborn child was reincarnated. Here, we only had a super zoomed in baggy shirt and then boogsh a framed picture of the baby. As an mpreg enthusiast, maybe I've expected too much. I should stop doing that. I'll try. (^_^;)
Damn, this scene is so good in english trans! Raws are also good, yes, but I appreciate everything more now that it's translated to a language I could understand. Love it so beautiful! o(≧∀≦)o

here, this site is still staying strong. been here since it was around 100. so the link renames (plus 1 and so on) after a certain period. iykwim
After reading the official translations, I still don't get how the uke was able to conceive the baby in the first place. It was never mentioned in the S1 chapters. It's confusing why the seme did not know what does the surrogate look like and was only able to, during their first encounter at kitchen that night. Could it be through artificial insemination? But this is omegaverse so it doesn't make sense to me. Can someone help me understand? Thanks in advance :)
yeah it must have been the traditional surrogacy type because if otherwise (gestational surrogacy) then where is Beom's partner? I thought at first he has a partner that's why the President (Beom's dad) finds a surrogate. Well this plot hole does not take me away from this work anyway because I love where it is going (been reading raws oh I love Seonwoo's preggy belly!)
Where do you find the Raws?? I stayed caught up with the rough translation because of how cute it was so I can definitely look past that plot hole lol his dad probably didn’t want them to have intercourse and form any relationship or the son didn’t have interest in it and just became interested when he saw how pretty he was
https://newtoki322.com/webtoon/24587741?toon=BL%2FGL here, but the latest ch (41화) is not yet uploaded in there as it seems the uploader uploads the raws biweekly.
yeah but it was just a tiny panel of Seonwoo and Beom's dad in what seems an office, with papers on a table. there's no even monologue about how Seonwoo met Beom's dad, how was he chosen out of all other omega workers in Noblesse, etc. so it was confusing at the beginning. jumping straight ahead to moving in, we don't even know how many weeks along was Seonwoo when he moved in the mansion. also, this story reminds me of a certain historical royalty kdrama (or kmovie?) that I watched before, wherein the queen is barren, so they got a surrogate to help produce an heir. in that process of surrogacy, the king had a number of intercourse with the surrogate, until the surrogate is confirmed pregnant with the king's child. so even though this one's in modern setting, artificial insemination was the last thing I could think of especially it's omegaverse (been used to omegas getting pregnant when knotted, during heat, etc.)
I guess I didn’t find the individual details of it to be super important. Like I can guess that the Dad met Seonu at Noblesse. He seemed like a top prostitute with good looks and demeanor. My point is that these are things you can infer so it doesn’t need to be super flushed out? That’s just my opinion of course though so I’m not saying you’re wrong for wanting more build up at the start of the story.
side story 5 involves laying egg (the night pearls look like eggs anyway) and it is somehow similar to an mpreg birth scene! As an mpreg enthusiast, I like it so much!! it's such a shame to not have that mpreg tag on when we have here a wild scene which is lacking from the mpreg stories themselves. I mean, yeah there's a fear that something else would come out other than the night pearls but hey this is a manhua, a fiction. So for the enjoyment of both creator/author and readers, it's absolutely unlikely to come down that road.
What manhua is this?
hey this was months ago lmao I wonder how did you find it.
I don't understand the ask here. I was obviously talking about this specific title "Bad Friend" I posted my topic to, and apologies if it confused you when I mentioned manhua, as it is a manhwa (my bad). Here's the link to that chapter if you still wanna know: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/bad_friend/uu/br_chapter-202025/pg-1/
