Welp I was having so many mixed feelings about this one, so I was curious to see the comments… and I see there’s a bit of um contention.

My issue, like many, is just that the MC is so fragile, and the ML is so sexually rough with him that it’s like whoa - this would be pushing it consent wise even if he WASN’T sickly! The only apparent excuse is just he got carried away… :/

So here’s the thing, I wanna talk about the lack of self-control because it’s related in my mind to the Mpreg.

In stuff like omegaverse, they sometimes have the SUPERNATURAL excuse of losing their minds to fucking bc of fictional biology, right? IRL, people are responsible for their actions — there is no aphrodisiac, no currently existing product or natural biology, that actually invokes an irresistible fuck-or-die impulse. What happens in real life is that people commit sex crimes, and try to use systemic misogyny to justify it with claims that it’s simply ‘natural’ for a man to lose control. Absolutely no one IRL is absolved from non consensual sex bc they ‘couldn’t help it’ — you always can, period.

Now, Mpreg.

No need to freak out at each other, guys… there’s a little bit of truth in what everyone’s saying. IRL, yes there are intersex people with indistinguishable or unusual genitalia. Intersex does NOT mean two completely whole and functioning sets of reproductive organs - it means there are organs or secondary features usually attributed to only one gender. Generally in these cases they are not fertile, regardless of whatever sex organ is in present.

Fictional settings like omegaverse usually provide a whole new supernatural biology that involves two fully functioning sets of sex organs. It is NOT intersex; it is a fictional biological phenomenon.

The Mpreg stories that AREN’T omegaverse still usually do the same thing - the biology is made up. I am NOT trying to erase the existence of intersexuality!! What I am saying is that, while maybe loosely INSPIRED BY real biology, at this time there is no KNOWN human biology that actually works like this. Not two fully functioning sets of genitalia, not a fertile womb with also an ejaculate-capable penis, not this SPECIFIC biological layout used in most Mpreg.

So for this story, I categorize the real-world implications of Mpreg in the same place I put ‘losing control’ in bed - the ‘don’t think too hard’ folder! IRL, it just doesn’t work like that, whether it’s physical biology or just human psychology (the myth of ‘losing control’ is a rape excuse IRL, but in fiction I do get how it’s seen as sexy lol).

Just, like. Relax. Lol.

Everybody getting all mad at Tristan has to understand Eden barged into his tranquil and quiet life. Eden is nothing more than a stranger to him. The fact Tristan was willing to pay for his medical treatment and make sure he'll be in want of nothing speaks a lot about Tristan's sense of responsibility.

So I read the novel and got to the part where they returned to London, and then skipped to the end. I skipped not because it's boring or bad, but I'm getting to the part of the novel where they're dropping hints and foreshadowing something bad is gonna happen, and I'm just dreading it. I didn't want to read the angst lol.

Anyway, Tristan falls for Eden first, but because the novel is told from Eden's POV, we don't really see when, how, and why Tristan falls for Eden. There was only one chapter from Tristan's POV, and it's towards the first half of the novel.

This whole having sex as a form of treatment for Eden? Tristan becomes obsessed with it. Eden actually recovers enough that he goes back to London for physical therapy and in hopes of restarting his career. So he goes between London and Scotland every 10 days. When Eden is back in Scotland, the first thing Tristan does is drag Eden to bed and have sex with him. At one point, the chef and maid don't see Eden for an entire week because Tristan kept him in bed with him for that long. The sex is also no longer painful btw. It's definitely pleasurable for the both of them now, especially for Tristan (more on about this later).

At one point, Eden delays going back to Scotland due to his interview with his company getting pushed back + snowstorm canceling his flight. Out of desperation, he takes the train from England to Scotland. In the middle of it, though, his seizure comes back. He hasn't seen or been treated by Tristan for 14 days at this point, so his symptoms of separation comes back. When Tristan hears Eden going into seizure, he goes batshit crazy. The secretary and chef try to stop Tristan from driving out into the snowstorm, but he fights both of them. He knocks both of them down and is about to drive into the storm when the chef yells, "If you die, Eden will die with you!" Hearing that, Tristan immediately calms down.

Something that I should mention at this point, it's heavily implied in the novel Tristan values very little about his own life. He's tired and weary of it. The reason he gave up his company and secluded himself in the castle is because he wants to get away from it all. Just disappear. If he dies...then oh well. Though we barely get any POV from Tristan, in the novel, we do see how Tristan acts and talks to Eden when they're in bed together. Tristan even says at one point that his entire life, from everything he does, it's out in the open. Everything single part of his life is scrutinized and posted on tabloids for ppl to gossip. All except Eden. Only Eden is his secret to keep. Only Eden is fully his. Eden is his own patch of peace. (And it's around here that I stopped reading bc oh man, the foreshadowing).

I can't recall it word for word, but at one point, Tristan says something along the lines of if it weren't for his name on Eden's body and the obligation he had to keep Eden alive, he would've disappeared from the world a long time ago.

Anyway, after Eden's seizure incident, Tristan decided to reintegrate himself back with society. We as reader know why Tristan decide to go back to London, but Eden doesn't find out until later in the story. Tristan goes back to London so that he can be with Eden. Eden can get both his physical therapy done and still receive "treatment" from Tristan.

EDIT: I should add, before Tristan moves back to London for Eden, he at first asks Eden to move in to live with him. He will pay Eden to be his personal pianist. Eden can continue to play the piano just as he wishes. He can play whatever he wants, and Tristan won't judge or demand much from him. He just wants Eden to enjoy and play the piano. The two of them can live out the rest of their lives together, just the two of them here, with no one to bother them. However, Eden later rejects the offer. While it is tempting, and Eden almost took Tristan up on it, it's not just about playing the piano. It's about being recognized as a pianist. Eden threw himself into the piano, staked his life to make it as a professional pianist. If he doesn't recognized for it by his peers, then it makes his life meaningless. Although he appreciates Tristan's offer, if he chose it, he might as well be dead. No one will remember him. No one will even know he existed. And so because Eden rejected Tristan's offer to stay in Scotland, Tristan decided to go back to London for Eden.

Also, Tristan uses his money to launch Eden's career. Creates an entire company JUST to launch Eden. Eden is the ONLY pianist managed by the company btw. Tristan really spared no expenses. Eden has trouble finding a studio where he can practice? No problem. Buys an entire building for Eden where he can practice. Eden's original company is about to drop him? No probelm, Tristan creates a company just for him.

Because Tristan decided to come back to London after 2 years of absence, he has a lot of paperwork and catch up to do. The two of them can only meet once a week for 30 minutes at first while Tristan is busy. Eden understands and tries to accommodate the short time. At one point when Tristan apologizes, Eden says it's fine. The 30 minute is more than enough for his treatment. Tristan then looks at Eden with a frown and says while it's enough for Eden, it's nowhere enough for him. Tristan actually always goes over the 30 minute allotted time to the lament of the secretary. Tristan tries to linger, but Eden always urges him to go bc he feels bad for the secretary.

The two aren't officially lovers yet. Neither confessed or agree to go out up to this point in the story. However, Eden is well aware he's in love with Tristan right now. Especially when Tristan is so gentle and sweet to him.

Anyway, I skipped to the end. Eden was able to surgically remove Tristan's name from his body, much to Tristan's lament. After Eden wakes up from the surgery, Tristan goes to see him one time. They both know if Eden doesn't stop him, this will be the last time they'll ever see each other. Eden lets Tristan go. For 2 years, the two don't contact each other. From what I gathered, Tristan didn't want Eden to go through with the surgery, but Eden was persistent. Eden unilaterally cut off the connection they had that bound them together.

Tristan pulls away from society again. Eden's career is soaring. He's a world renowned pianist now. Fully recovered. When he returns to London, he visits the studio Tristan gave him and find a card tucked away in a book Tristan gave him. When he calls the number, hoping against all hope it will lead him to Tristan, he hears the voice of Tristan's lawyer. He finds out from the lawyer Tristan gifted him the castle in Scotland. Not just he castle, the entire land. Thinking this is a sign, Eden goes to the castle, going through every nook and cranny, hoping he'd find Tristan. At this point in the novel, you as a reader are just as anxious as Eden. Neither the reader or Eden know if Tristan is still alive...or if he decided to end things once and for all because he's THAT tired of all the noise and life. In the 2 years they've been separated, no one can find Tristan. Not even a trace.

Just as he's giving up, Eden remembers the tree house Tristan took him to. Eden realizes this is the reason Tristan gifted him the land. It's not bc of the castle, but the tree house. In the tree house, Eden finds a secret compartment with a postcard. The postcard has an address of this remote, practically unknown Italian village.

Long story short, Eden finds Tristan in the Italian village. Their reunion isn't sweet as you think. Tristan is still recovering from all the mental stress, and he tells Eden at one point that he didn't want Eden to find him. However, Eden pointed out that if Tristan didn't want him to find him, he shouldn't have hid the postcard in the tree house. Tristan admits that yes, he did hide the post card in the tree house bc he can't give up on Eden entirely. He left the post card to leave himself a bit of hope. Hope that one day Eden might find him, that if he looks out in the street, he'd see him. The hope is what kept him going.

The two are in a very difficult situation, very similar to the one that happened in London. Eden says he'll stay with Tristan, but Tristan stops him. He tells him Eden is meant to be in the spotlight, not waste away his talent in this tiny corner of the world. Eden suffered so much, but preserved through everything bc of his piano. Tristan will not be the reason Eden disappears into obscurity.

Meanwhile, Tristan suggests they move to New York together. He will move to New York to be with Eden. Eden vehemently vetos the idea. Tristan just got back his life together, but bc Eden barging into his peaceful life again, Tristan was about to give everything up for him. Eden didn't want to do that to Tristan.

So while the two love each other and want to be together, one of them will have to sacrifice either their dream or peace to be together.

The novel ends by flash forwarding 2 years into the future. Tristan and Eden come to a compromise. Eden basically works 3 months(?) out of the year, and then spends 9 months with Tristan at his villa. Also, after working for about 4-5 years now, Eden plans to take a long hiatus. He's done everything he's wanted and reached the peak of his profession. So he wants to take a long hiatus. Though it's not said explicitly, the novel ends with Eden running into Tristan's arms that his long hiatus is bc he wants to spend it with Tristan.

I wouldn't say that the Emperor is a pedophile, but he most certainly groomed Asha. While grooming is mostly associated with adult-minor dynamics, it can still occur peer-to-peer when a power imbalance is in play. Just because we stan the characters doesn’t mean we should condone this behavior. Fictional or not, what Kiel is doing to Asha goes beyond acceptable moral standards. He is more possessive than protective, as he wants to own Asha—this was evident in the chapters showing their childhood (he literally kidnapped him).

Yes, it’s somewhat romantic how he wants to create a law just so they can get married, but we have to acknowledge that what the Emperor is doing is toxic, manipulative, and extremely coercive to some degree. Not to say that other characters aren’t toxic (ex. Alicia), but this is just my TED Talk. Of course, no one has to agree with me.

However, I really hope this isn’t the type of story where Asha lets all of this slide in the name of romance once he finds out. Truthfully, I feel like the story would unfold better if he confronted the emperor once finding everything out. Plus, I feel as though Asha needs time to assess his feelings without outer influences before he decides if he wants to be with the Emperor or not. That way we can know if he truly loves him despite everything he's done. Overall, while I enjoy the story, I can’t support the ML’s actions because doing so would be unethical.

BEWARE THESE R HUGE MEGA INSANE SPOILERS
these spoilers include description of rape/SA please kindly leave if these subjects disturb you in any way.



brief recap + info:

some of yall might of guessed it: its the 2nd life of both mc and ml.
ML remembers everything except MC doesnt at all, although he has nightmares of his first life.
to add: I noticed manhwa chaps and novels chaps r almost the same (ex: ch 1 manhwa = ch 1 novel)




ok lets start; (im only talking about important details)


When does the 1st life storytime start?: around chaps 72-73

Whats happening after ch 41 in the manhwa? (upcoming updates):
MC learns about how to make perfume for a few chaps. ML offers MC a whole new perfume company for him under his own name: Sejin, and decides to make MC the ceo of the company. MC meets the employees, have dinner w them, etc.. (theres gonna be 1 sex scene after the dinner w the employees) MC receives the news that his father has been arrested for tax invasion and so on. MC realized that it was ML's doing that his family/haeshin coop. was going down. MC felt devasted bc it was his family but ML did it because MC was being mistreated w his own family and gaslighted by his dad to keep working for him so for MC's sake he exposed them. ML got help from MC's secretary btw. ML's precise reasoning: “In my eyes, they were abusers, but to you, they were the only family you had.”
1-2 chaps later, they have sex again but this time MC asked ML to imprint him since ML was the only one left for MC after the whole family situation, but at the end ML didnt imprint him. MC kind of displeased by this situation, stopped sleeping in ML's room and even kind of stopped talking to him bc ML was the one who cut ties w mc's family and now he was alone but ML refused to imprint him? After a f ew talks, they started talking A BIT ONLY again. ML's grandfather died and his brother also disappeared. MC decided to join the funeral with ML since he wanted to fix things at the same time after what happened w the imprinting situation. (btw this funeral is like 2 days long or smt) During a meal, while they were drinking, ML told MC about his side and how he felt and how he liked MC and he didnt want this to be a contracted marriage and also that MC should be the one to decide if they should date or not. Basically he didnt want to force MC to date him or to be in any forced relationship and do whatever was right for MC. After all that and when they came back home, ML got his rut and they almost had sex. ML ate sleeping pills + inhibitors and said this before he went to sleep: “… … You died before my eyes.” which made MC obviously confused. After that rut, ML decame awfully distant with MC BUT at the same time, MC started opening up abt his insomnia and other issues. Later on, MC finally launched his perfume company but ML never showed up to the opening ceremony. ML started avoiding MC by coming home late often too. Until one day ML told MC to end the marriage and that MC should leave whenever he wanted to. MC was completely dumbfounded and confused bc ML said a few days earlier how he liked him but now he said to leave? He felt betrayed. MC hurried to the study where ML was mid way through packinh/ getting ready to leave, and yells at ML how wrong he was to say that and why he said that. He questionned everything and finally yells ''do u think ill die infront of you?'' (MC doesnt know the context and just repeated what ML said during his rut out of anger) and starts yelling even more and questionned how weird it was for ML to get his heat cycles right everytime and every odd coincidence and if he was ever honest w him. He felt like a pet and an object: he was taken care of but he didnt know anything abt ML at all. ML felt like he didnt hv the right to date MC bc of what hes done (view 2nd paragraph) thats why he wanted MC to leave him (this was not mentionned btw) MC begged ML to let him stay w him and ML finally gave him and they had sex and he finally imprinted him: 1st life memories came flooded in in MC's mind. - 1st life storyline starts-




1st life summary: starts with storytime of MC and how he was adopted by his current father: MC left his abusive parents and clinged on a random rich person which happened to be Haeshin's CEO aka his adoptive dad. MC was later arranged a marriage with ML. ML did not really give a fuck about MC at all tbh: he was awfully dry and only thought of it as a contract. During MC's first heat, he just kinda ignored him, 2ND heat they fucked bc MC asked him to, but keep it mind ML was awfully rude/rough in bed (legit no foreplay+he bled) Later on, both MC and ML started being kind to eachother: they would eat together, greet eachother in the mornings, etc.. MC was FRAMED by his whole family for tax invasion and was sent to prison but luckily ML bought him out of it. Basically MC's family used him so Haeshin company would not get caught in those problems. Basically after he got out of prison, bc of ML, his family totally cut him off. !!! MC was asked to steal a document in Ml's study which MC obviously did for his father way before he was framed by his family since father was like yk how i raised u blah blah.
This sadly was the reason both MC and ML grew apart. While MC and ML were starting to like each other and even having comforting sex, ML felt absolutely betrayed by MC for not being honest earlier about stealing the files and MC couldve even come up with a reason and straihht up told ML he stole it for his own good. ML started ignoring MC around house and it detoriated MC's mental/physical health since he craved love and attention; he starved himself too. One day ML came home drunk and MC begged on his knees to not ignore him and give him another chance and how hed do ANYTHING for ML to forgive him (MC's family alr left him so if ML leaves him, he'll be all alone and he was scared of that) ML forcefully made MC to blowjob him and even told him to act like a prostitute if he wanted to be forgiven. MC throat was swelled up for a few days due to this incident. Meanwhile ML was at a funeral, MC went into heat again but this time ML's brother also randomly came and RAPED the shit out of MC (ch 86) it was disturbely written. MC who got so fucked up after the rape, called his secretary and asked him to pick him up to leave cause he was finally done w this place. ML went to MC's house and noticed how bruised MC looked like and demanded who did that to him, but obviously MC being fed up with the whole situation just told ML he slept w his brother (didnt say it was rape at all) ML being mad, he rapes MC and forcefully imprints him w pain (ugh it was so hard to read that part). Later on, the Moment where MC wakes up from all the sex w ML, hes been brought to ML's mansion again. THIS time he was confined: he can only sleep in ML's bed and if he wanted to leave to another room, he needed his bodyguard to follow him. (its been several months from the raping incident too) MC would starve himself and just felt depressed the whole time. Until the doctor told him he was pregnant: MC didnt know whos child it was; ML's or ML's brother. MC finally had enough and didnt want to give birth to a successor, he went to ML's study and kills himself.

after imprint (2nd life/present): MC still decided to leave ML. ''If you were going to let me know about such painful emotions, you shouldn't have imprinted on me. If you knew that emotions are so contagious, you should have been a little more careful.'' and ended the marriage and left w a suitcase. 3 months have passed and ML decides tomake a random contract/proejct in order to meet w MC bc he missed him dearly. Bc of the contract between MC’s perfume company and ML’s company, they met up every single day in MC’s office (ML wanted to do this for 3 weeks straight since he missed MC sm). After their contract/project which took like a week or so, ML and MC left together and had sex after a company dinner. They had sex bc MC’s heat and ML’s rut aligned bc they eere both imprinted/bonded whatever u call it


OK I ONLY READ TILL 92 SORRY POOKIES! ill update when i finish the novel:3
sorry for bad english btw （￣へ￣）i mostly speak french
ANYWAYS please lmk any questions or precisions in my answer:3

Why is the title (font and all) giving wattpad..

Why do some people care who's top or bottom? It's just sex positions lol

i need more manhwas w this genre pls recommend

This argument/fight was bound to happen. Going back to the start of their relationship, you have a teen alpha who suddenly found his fated mate. Seems great? Not really. Looking back, you have a TEENAGER finding his fated mate after being insecure about his 2nd gender for years. Until then, Hazuki hadn't been all into playing the role of an alpha bc of his past experiences and suddenly, finding his fated mate, he wants to fill that protective and reliable alpha role. He pushed himself to mature (and it's been explicitly said so by Naoto as well that he(N) feels that Hazuki is more mature than him despite his age). Hazuki wanted to be someone who protected and cared for his new family, pushing himself to do his best. That's great and all, but he was young and didn't have the same experiences as Naoto so he was always playing a catch up game in terms of experience. His lack of experience and perceived capabilities - especially when Minato came along - really showed compared to Naoto and Hazuki had to deal with those insecurities that came with feeling like he cannot protect or help. We saw him hide and withdraw because he felt that he was being a bad partner and parent by being unable to even hold his baby. They were able to temporarily patch up (not fix entirely) the issue then because Naoto got through Hazuki's insecurities by explaining his previous lack of knowledge and own insecurities about being a single teen parent. Great, but Hazuki still struggles with this gap between him and Naoto. After that they seem fine, and they are okay because they can communicate and help each other out. However, Minato is growing and he's reached the age where he is being a little rebel. Hazuki isn't prepared, they now also have a third child to care for, and that gap is apparent again. Adding to this insecurity, is the fact that Hazuki is not trusting Naoto by doubting if Naoto would stay with him if he found someone more reliable. Naoto of course wouldn't but Hazuki believes that his perceived lack of ability to help Naoto will push him away and that Naoto would find it easy to move on from him. At this moment, things are made worse bc Otoha (if I remember his name right) is good with kids - one of the biggest failings for Hazuki. Hazuki needs to read books and blogs and learn from other parents, but this guy? He appears to be a natural with kids. What Hazuki doesn't see however, is that Otoha most likely has had years of experience with kids, so of course he knows a lot. However, Hazuki's insecurities and his jealousy and his lowering confidence in himself is building up. And in this new chapter we see him blow up - which is something new because he's tried to hide when he feels insecure before - at hearing Naoto compliment someone else on something he has been struggling with. It's not good and I get what he was trying to say, but he did not say anything good. He ended up victim blaming, which of course hurt Naoto because 1) it was a terrible traumatic time for him and 2) Naoto most likely feels betrayed by Hazuki who once told him that he loved him for who he was and would not look down on him for being an Omega. Naoto has been told repeatedly that omega are at fault for whatever happens to them, but Hazuki was different and based on his reaction, Naoto feels a deep anger towards Hazuki now because he used those feelings and experiences against him. I know they're going to work through this, but it is also true that this was bound to happen. Hazuki isn't a bad partner or parent, he always puts his family first and is an active parent. He's never left Naoto to deal with the kids alone on purpose and he takes on doing chores and childcare actively. Naoto, and others, are amazed by how hard Hazuki works to take care of his family while learning to take over his mother's company. In this chapter, Naoto and Shizuku are excited to prepare a surprise birthday for him and there are no negative comments about him napping because they believe he deserves to rest. Naoto was probably even bragging about how good Hazuki is to him. Everyone sees it but Hazuki. He wakes up and immediately scolds himself for napping when he was only supposed to put Aoi to sleep, he worries about not giving Naoto or his mother in law resting time. He believes he should be able to give others rest when he himself needs it, and he sees it as a failure not to do so. He's just really insecure, and honestly I get that. He feels he isn't living up to his role and that he is not being a good parent or partner because of it, when he is already a great parent and partner. He's young, younger than Naoto, so of course he doesn't have all the experience and knowledge that Naoto does and he isn't giving himself grace. He is seeing himself as a failure but at the same time he doesn't want to admit it and he's burst out now, saying the wrong things and taking his frustration of himself out on Naoto.

Poor Shizuku, she left with her parents happily together and will return to them having fought. She's definitely going to be hurt by that. I just hope this fight doesn't last too long, my heart can't take it. ╥﹏╥
