I was looking for an omegaverse to read and I came across this again, so I got curious after I saw all the messages. Honestly? I remembered this being a lot sweeter. I don't know if it's that I'm older now or if it's that my standards for stories have grown a lot compared to idk 2018 or whenever it is I read this first, but I can't believe I used to consider this one of the best Japanese omegaverses.

And look, the premise has a lot of potential in the right hands. This author's? Not the right hands. At all. You'd need a lot more pages than what you can fit into a single volume to make this work, and you need A LOT of development for the MC to not make him sound like someone who should be on a government list. And to change your interpretation of what happens when a ''fated pair'' meet. For instance, not something sexual. I really do think it's possible to take this questionable story and turn it into something genuinely devastating in all the right ways.

All that being said, I'd much rather read the mock version about them being close in age and fighting like cats and dogs because they can't stand each other. That one seemed more fun than the rest of this manga combined.

It's really so nice to see something this healthy for a change. Like, yeah, there are still all sorts of tropes in it, but they're handled pretty tastefully and the characters always work through their issues together like adults, so their relationship feels pretty realistic. I wish there were more BL webcomics and manga that do this!

This really picked up in the last few arcs! It's a pity that they couldn't fit them into the anime.

This had a very rocky start that made me think that there was no way that I'd end up liking it, and I feel like there wasn't enough time to explore the characters in depth, but it ended up being surprisingly healthy once they actually talked about what they wanted to be to eachother. I really appreciate the lack of communication issues.

This is just my personal opinion, but I wish omegaverse authors stopped making omegas run away from their partners either during or immediately after a pregnancy. At least this time it actually felt like it made sense with the protagonist's personality and his struggles, but using the same conflict twice was overkill.

That aside, I'm impressed by how this author handled the other usual clichés that we find in these type of stories (like the alpha having a past traumatic experience involving an omega in heat driving him towards escapism instead of making him an asshole towards omegas, or the suspected love rival actually just being Some Guy who genuinely admires the omega's career instead of thirsting after him). The characters, for the most part, feel well-rounded and multidimensional. The only thing that this story needed to feel completed was a mating bite scene. I usually wouldn't care that much about whether they mated or not, but there were several times where the characters themselves made it into a big deal and it feels like something's missing after finishing the story with not even a mark as proof that they finally did it.

"To yearn unwittingly breaks the willow vine". The massacre they did while translating that HURTS. It's such an important phrase, too. Also... Ah, what the hell is an "Ungui"...

Can't wait for one of our danmei TL fangroups to pick this up. We even have most of the translation done already if you just cross-check with the novel... Pretty sure 99% of the text was just taken from there when they adapted it into a manhua anyway. Like, it's fine if you're already familiar with the story because you can fill in the gaps pretty easily, but it must be so confusing if this is your first time reading it.

Don't let the tags fool you: this is maybe 30% comedy and fluff, and 70% about the characters learning to become better versions of themselves while going through very relatable issues. When I started reading this a few hours ago, I just wanted something soft and fun about two guys raising a baby and getting together in the process. Instead, I've ended up crying multiple times. And it was the best kind of crying you can get while reading a story: the kind that makes you feel like you're learning something both about the characters and about yourself, and it leaves you feeling content and hopeful. I'm sad to see that it isn't really completed yet, because as a binge-reader I enjoy my stories best when I can read them in one go so I don't forget details, but I'm happy that I picked this up regardless. I'm impressed at how multidimentional all of the characters feel and I'm looking forward to the rest of their stories.

Perfect story to realize that the comments are back to! I really enjoyed the begining and how realistic the characters and their feelings felt, though it's a pity that the author included some of the genre's stereotypes slightly before/after they got together. I really enjoyed seeing the protagonist's struggles with his sexuality and I hope I can see more of that in webcomics. I think that it's important to show that not everybody can just /know/ and that sometimes it takes a little bit of figuring out, and that you WILL make mistakes in the process.

Thanks, I hated it.

I really liked this one... too bad the author decided to create such a selfish grandpa that turned a happy ending into a bittersweet one. As someone who grew up with divorced parents (I know that's not exactly the case here), I really feel bad for those kids. It sounds horrible, but I wish the grandpa just died back then.
