Can someone give me spoilers from the novel please on the plot?
Like when is it revealed that he's an omega to everyone?
Does he almost die or collapse or something at some point?
How do the MC and ML end together?
Does MC become the Empress while ML becomes the Emperor?
How does the Dad react when he finds out his son is an omega and his wife has been poisoning him to the point that it's almost killing him?
Like does the Dad ever care about his son at any point in this story?
How does the Mom get karma thrown back at her child abusing face?
I need to know but the novel hasn't been fully translated yet ヾ(❀ ╥﹏╥)ノ~
Thank you to anyone who replies back to at least one of my questions
Hello ! Got this spoiler from novel updates ヾ(☆▽☆)
Here's a Korean raws novel link (I don't know if it has complete chapters tho but there are some of those "ehem" scenes in the extra)
https://booktoki301.com/novel/1954569?stx=%EB%A7%9D%EB%82%98%EB%8B%88+%ED%99%A9%EC%9E%90%EA%B0%80+%EC%98%A4%EB%A9%94%EA%B0%80%EC%9D%B8+%EA%B1%B8+%EC%88%A8%EA%B9%80
Some Spoilers
1.Crown Prince -@Reitama (The father felt bad for Etienne, so in the end he takes off the law to ban omega as emperor !)
The whole fiasco with like the ban on omegas becoming the Crown Prince is a huge debate. It was brought up because Etienne was exposed as a dominant omega.
Because of that, Rishar hired the press to basically get the public opinion on Etienne’s side. It reveals that the Empress basically abused Etienne for being born an omega and basically poisoned him and apparently tried to get two people to kill him (noble witness accounts seemed to align with this statement).
This whole deal earned him a lot of public support since a lot of omegas were in a similar situation where they weren’t able to inherit their titles because they were born an omega.
Basically, because the public believed that the ban on omegas becoming Crown Prince created this whole situation, and want it appealed.
Meanwhile, in like noble court or something, they’re discussing on whether they should appeal it or give the title of Crown Prince to other Archdukes but settled on Rishar.
But Rishar’s like I renounce my claim to the throne saying that Etienne deserves the throne, and he would be his sword or like serve him.
They were so shocked thinking: But like, it’s not like Etienne and Rishar would always be in good terms so it’d be better for Rishar to take the throne, right???
Double shocked when Rishar reveals they marked each other!
This means that other people can’t smell their pheromones (and I think vice versa) and if they ever separate it’s like dying.
Eventually, the deadbeat Emperor appeals the law banning omegas from becoming the Crown Prince and gives Etienne the title of Crown Prince. (Also I think he kinda shows remorse for the Empress abusing him.)
2.What happened to the mom ?@Reitama
She ends up in a cold, dark tower for her crimes of k*lling people and abusing Etienne.
Rishar pays her a visit and basically tells her how he’s gonna t*rture her. Basically, he feeds her the suppressants, poison and eye drops that she made Etienne take his entire life.
And she’s in pain and agony from it begging for death, but Rishar’s like, that’s what you did to my hyung, and I’ma keep doing it for the rest of your life and even worse.
3.When Richard discovers him + confessions - @solstice22
So Richard discovers that he is an omega while he was visiting and was suddenly in heat (leading to the preview scene), then they go to the bedroom to do u know what, but the butler and other people at the place notice lol, they took like four days.
Then i don’t remember when, Richard confess gis feelings but Etienne wasn’t sure about how he felt. Then, tons of stuff happen, but long story short the mc’s mom tries to do an alliance with a marquiss so they talk about marriage with his omega son (Antoine, you might find him anoying at first, but he is nice), then Etienne gains his loyalty promissing to helping him to enter the army or something like that (his dream that he wasn’t able to fulfill), he starts admiring Etienne as he sees how kind and caring he is, the helps recluiting some friends so that he can have more influence in the social word, and Antoine starts having feelings for Etienne, so he confesses, Etienne rejected him but noticed that he was in love with Richard (note that there are tons of events before i didn’t mention) and decided to conffess, he eventually does so (id remember when)
Basically in the end he is crowned as a prince and will marry Richard (? Idk couldn’t find the sidestories).
This page should answer a good bit of questions that everyone has been having (such as what price the mc had already paid, what her wish was, as well as the pace the romance is suppose to go *cough* very slow *cough*, some details of the type of karma her family gets (there's not much here, at least not yet, the main one at the moment that's also coming up pretty soon deals with the second sacrifice/summoning ritual)):

(Most of the answers are on page 4, which is why I shared it instead of the first page. It's also easier to read this page over me trying to copy and pasting/paraphrasing everything. )

I was really hoping for a wedding scene NGL and I was curious to know what the public's reaction was going to be to the MC once they've seen him ((like c'mon everyone was saying how hot ML is much less how hot MC is, I just wanted reactions folks) which I was hoping would've been done through wedding pics but rip).

I do love this couple so much. The villain was a bit dumb ngl and the ending was just a bit unsatisfying (not entirely sure why, by I'm guessing it's partly probably due to the author hinting at them getting hitched down the line without showing us them getting married like when stories end without giving us babies when it's hunted at (mainly in the omegaverse tropes but still)).
I feel the pacing was pretty good and the length wasn't bad, but I feel the story could've just been fleshed out just a bit more, mainly with some of the side characters, but admittedly I love hurt/comfort and wanted more action scenes for that reason. Showing the side characters more could've also risked the pacing as well (a short prequel out the S-Rank Esper finding her Guide would be cute but I doubt the author would write GL/Yuri but eh, a girl can wish). I also just want to know more about the AA-Rank Esper (writing it out, it sounds like the whole rank has a drinking problem ), she was a really interesting character. I guess I also just wanted more of the backlash for the events near the end as well, it really felt more like we were being told instead of told and with the amount of destruction we were seeing when he was erupting, I find it hard to believe nothing was damaged and no one was hurt (there was a freaking twister at one point, like there has to be SOME broken windows at the very least). I get MC got to him in time before he really had a chance to get going, but still.
Or even just seeing the MC get more used to his life as a Guide with ML and being in a relationship with him, as well as how the City Guard developed. I also just want to see how the public response changed overtime for the ML as well (I also think it was hinted or outright told that the MC and ML's ranks could/did change, but we don't get any further tests for the MC and the ML being an SS-Rank just didn't really feel like it was addressed??? Like that's a pretty big deal)(admittedly I also like seeing public reactions in stories, it just adds to the immersion of the world that the author created).
Maybe a smarter villain could come through or maybe another type of dungeon, more dangerous than before (the double dungeon felt like it could've been leading to more abnormal dungeons appearing, so maybe the dungeons just gradually get worse over time is another option) appeared and monsters escape from it, then they have to deal with that, especially with the MC learning to become a Dungeon Guide as well.
I could tell the author didn't really have much more planned for the plot and didn't really want to continue so they just wrapped it with a bow, which I can't blame the author for when you just lose interest in something, get overwhelmed with trying to write a long plot, and/or being pushed by a publisher to finish bc maybe they had a deadline. At least they gave us a decent ending with a somewhat satisfying ending and that's something I can't say for a good bit of others (sometimes I won't even read a comic or story if I found out the plot was rushed, especially at the end (tbh I do read some spoilers so I know what I'm getting myself into and if I'm gonna waste my time getting or trying to get invested, a rushed ending is like a slap in the face especially when the rest of the story was good)).
There's probably more I could write about by just nitpicking, but I do really like this story and overall I wanna say it's a pretty good story, especially with the relationship between the MC and ML (like it's so healthy and I'm just not used to seeing it in any genre really (straight, gay, or otherwise (a lot authors just eat up shitty MLs and I worry for them)), as well some of background character relationships.

So long (▰˘◡˘▰)
A very long comment, but very true, this was a wonderful story, the villain could be a bit better, but still it was much better than some other stories and it was like fresh air in a morning to see such a wonderful couple with a healthy relationship
