I mean I usually love Moscaretos titles, but this didn’t hit it for me.. Somehow the first part is fine, the middle part drags on for faaaaar too long and the end is way too short. Felt like Yul was also too yaoified, really liked the art style more in the beginning. Would’ve liked to see more of them after marrying and what Yuls trait was in the end Synopsis: Yul was bought up by a CEO of a big pharmacy company that ran test on him to turn him into an omega. At the same time, the prince turns out to be an alpha and is sent abroad. After he returns to Korea, a wedding is set up between the ‘omega’ son and the prince but instead the illegitimate son of the Pharma son is sent to the recurrence together with Yul. Slowly the prince feels drawn to Yul, even oh he doesn’t know that he’s technically engaged to him. He finds out about his past and plans to get revenge on the CEO Blabla he eventually gets kidnapped from the CEO and Yul finally exposes everything on TV. The CEO gets arrested and the both of them get married where the story ends

Bad Friend

Really enjoyed the warrior story time mixed with enemies to lovers/growing up together. And finally a manga with good pacing!! Didn’t think that any story arc or character development was unnecessary. Even how they started with bantering and ending up in a weird position was kind of fine and not totally absurd Synopsis: Hail grows up as the son of a grand master when his father (who’s barely there cos the mom died during childbirth) brings home an orphan named Rigon. The two behave like rivals, always bantering which at some point leads them to a situation where they both end up thinking different of each other - and helping each other out lmao However, one day, the school is attacked and trying to protect Rigon, Haon falls into a deep place, letting everyone believe he died. However it was actually a temple (?) of a known fighter who wrote down all she could pass down, making him super skilled within 10 years. When he gets out of the cave he finds out that everyone in the academy passed and that war broke out against those who attacked it. However the general is actually the one who did and his only goal is to achieve more power. On the other hand, Rigon survived and believing that Haon passed, wants to get revenge on his father who killed his mother (the general). After meeting each other on the battlefield and finding this out, they conclude and get back together and with the support of some other opposers, overthrow the general and killing him. After stories are honestly just more kinky than the rest, all while focusing on the story arch of Haon and his dad improving their relationship
