SPOILERS AHOY because I also read the translation of this over on wattpad (not a good one, but when there is no english vers, beggars can't be choosers and I am very grateful to translator for their work).

-

So, let me preface this by saying that Uke deserves all the resentment of Seme lol. In many other mangas and some manhwas, Uke would be the "obstacle" for the true love between Seme and the 'true uke'. So that's why the attitude of the Seme doesn't annoy me and that's why I can like this manhua as much as I do.

Thing is, as we get further into the manhua, there is Seme B and Uke B, whose relationship...I do not like at all. xD So I'm not going to include them in my review because I skipped over all of their chapters. Also, I still didn't end up liking Uke. Uke's character has a lot of potential, but it just didn't resonate with me. Even after becoming a better person, he's still passive about everything but his obsession with Seme. That's literally the only times he takes action, so Uke was very lackluster for me and not a good representation for the omegas. I still like the couple, they were fun to read, but they are not the reason why I read this manhua.

THE REASON WHY I READ IT WAS FOR THE FUTURISTIC SCI-FI BITCH. GAH. While I do love sci-fi, sci-fi set in the future is a huge weakness of mine. Continued Love does a frikkn stellar job with this over the worldbuilding over the different politics, laws, and set-up of the planets. I cannot wait for the portrayal of the worldbuilding in this manhua because I can't really appreciate the set-up of this verse via the translation. And, who knows, maybe I'll like the couple better in the manhua. So far I am, I like their portrayal here better than on the wattpad translation. But we're only 12 chapters in so...

...Anyways, I still love this manhua for the ideas and inspiration it gives me. ^^ I am super duper excited to see the future chapters.

*squints eyes* How does...tequila smell like??? Does it smell like agave?? If it does...I have no clue how agave smells like, so it's useless to wonder lol. Anyways! This was super cute. I'm laughing at the 'cute and soft' description for Uke cuz he may be cute but he only soft until you screw with him and, in turn, he fucks with you. >:) And I enjoy that. Just 20 or so chapters in and I'm already really enjoying it, so I can't wait to see how these two's relationship further progresses.

Okay but I'm having a looooot of fun with this story. Been a while since I last read so I need to catch up, but I love the characterizations here. Chan and Park are pretty much opposite on the spectrum in terms of way-too-empathetic vs not-empathetic-at-all and it's great to see the differences, how they work together in spite of that, and how they strengthen each other's weaknesses. As someone who is too empathetic as a person, Park's lack of ability to feel personal connection with humans (of course, sans Chan because psychopaths love too, just in a different way) is interesting to me and I love how author-san portrayed him. I can't wait to see how this story ends.

Oh wow oh wow. Freaking sci-fi AND omegaverse?? With actual believable rise of beta, omega, and alpha sexes?? Gahdangit, the potential of this worldbuilding. OTL I love it. The couple, not so much, it's really codependent and I'm kinda annoyed at the cutesy childishness of the Uke. But I love the fact that the Uke takes up fighting (hopefully he'll keep at it...) and is being taught fighting by an Omega trying to prove his worth is more than just his womb. In spite of all this, I'm really enjoying this story, and I hope to read more soon. ^^
