I don't know if I am missing something but the first volume made no sense to me. His big secret is that he has a uterus even though he's an alpha, but he had already told the seme that he was an alpha (PROVED it with an ID card) and then later showed up with a baby. So unless the uke kidnapped seme's child by another person, or the baby was brought by a stork then common sense is going to already inform him that there is a uterus involved somehow.
I don't think the seme was nearly so worried about the secret as the uke was. But even then the seme mentioned at one point he believed uke was an alpha. He saw the ID card and trusted that he didn't lie to him. The way it's written implies that the secret itself is the fact that the uke has a uterus. His gender does not seem to be a point of debate amongst the two of them. But common sense should have told the seme that the uke had a uterus (or that there was something different about him physically) when he showed up with a child. Especially if seme did not have any doubts about uke's gender after that, which he didn't seem to. Then common sense should have kicked in (or, at the very least, a basic understanding of science).
Well it could also be common sense that he was an alpha who turned omega. Because at one point semem did say your in heat but where's your pheromones which (to me) implied that he thought he was an omega. I think this would be more easier or mornalong the lines of common sense than oh he's an alpha with a uterus.
I've heard that expression applied for alphas as well in other omegaverse stories "in heat" as opposed to "in rut" and am willing to chalk that up with either the way the story is written or translated, without there being any further intent. The pheromone thing however, I agree with also should have been another indication that there was something unusual about his body. But I once again think that the uke is the one who put way more stress on himself about "the secret" than the seme did.
The pacing is too fast and the characters are underdeveloped. It's not a bad story overall, and I feel like it has potential, but I don't know that I'm interested in sticking around for it. The translation also seems slightly off(?) and I am wondering if that is making it seem even more rushed. I'm dropping it for now and might return if/when an official translation comes out.
This "father" is trash. He is just as bad as his wife in that neither of them actually see Etienne as a person. His mother uses him as a tool for political games and his father's apathetic neglect his entire life makes his concern now "too little, too late". In regards to Rishar, while I understand that he actually cares for Etienne he is also guilty of not respecting the opinions and wishes of somebody who has been traumatized his whole life and whose literal life is based on how fine a line he walks. In such a delicate situation the best thing he should be doing for Etienne is supporting him as he decides to take charge of situations in his own life as opposed to forcing him into awkward situations that potentially put him at risk.
I would end up with trust issues for life if I were him. (I'm only on chapter 60) He had so much stress piled on and trust issues to begin with that he only talked to a bird when he felt he was well and truly alone with it. Then that bird turns out to be human. (⊙…⊙ ) I would never speak my thoughts to a single creature again if I were him.
Poor dude.
Right! I just caught up, but haven't read the latest release.
I mean, in his case it turned out alright (I guess) because it's somebody he trusts and cares for, but just imagining that happening to me I seriously would never trust anything with my thoughts again. People, pets, dolls, you name it. ╥﹏╥
I remember a time my friend nearly fell out of a tree. Thankfully I noticed them because as they were falling they yelled "77F!" alerting me to their presence above.
Lmfao
Thats an impressing code
I know! Maybe that's how high they thought they were or something. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
