With All Kins, Have No Pity
Summary: "The powerful warlord, Zhou Quan, dies from poison by his own son. When he opens his eyes again, he realizes that not only has his adopted son imprisoned him and taken control of the palace, but he has been reincarnated as his omega son?! And this adopted son, who was once loyal and devoted to him, is actually deeply in love with his former self and even treats the current him as his substitute." Enjoyed it all the way through. For some reason the official translation was dropped at 83 (literally 5 chapters away from the end of the main story + side stories). Honestly heart wrenching many times, but has a happy ending. Honestly the summary feels misleading in tone with how things progress (especially since his dad never thought he was a good-for-nothing even slightly), but key points are the same: omegaverse, reincarnation, historical drama about a man losing his unprofessed love only become closer than he could have imagined when he realizes he never lost him at all. Tried to fix it a bit with the above summary. It's omegaverse, but uses different terms (which vary by translation) Alpha = Qian = Yang = Gan Omega = Kun = Yin Beta = He Official on WebComics, these aren't the officials. Same author as Big Baddie. The English officials are much less censored (obviously nothing explicit, but it goes beyond typical Chinese censorship and shows kissing/there's less guessing what Intimate things happened). I bought all the officials on WebComics. WebComics is one of the cheaper places to buy officials, so I'd recommend it for the increase in quality.

Palace of Bardo
Shonen ai, not yaoi Was hugely not a fan of the art style at first but I got used to it. Very strange style to see for an eastern webcomic. Licensed many places including Lezhin, Tappytoon and Pocket Comics. Officials are here. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/jot6gys/bardo-s-palace 1/22/24
The Demon Lord wants to take Responsibility of Me!
It's called a monster lord in the comic, but it means a demon lord. Licensed on lots of places including Inkr, "My Covenant with the Monster Lord." Free on Inkr with membership, but a lot is lost in their translation compared to the fan translation here. It's interesting to have read most of this one first and compare my notes I have on this one to help my understanding of the other and see the differences between the terms they've translated (or chosen not to translate and keep as names). Fan translations up to chapter 46, then WeComics translations so some terms change. The official translation is the same between Inkr and WeComics. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/rie4mv3/the-demon-lord-wants-to-take-responsibility-of-me The series is complicated and has a lot of foreign names, I have detailed notes on my phone to help follow along. Important scenes: ML makes a blood allegiance link with MC, an oath to stay together enforced spiritually-- 2 MC regains his spiritual power-- 18 MC realizes ML is Blacky/Blackball-- 22 ML's revealed confession through a memory when MC was unconscious-- 44 Direct confession from MC-- 46 1st: 9/24/22, 2nd: 1/24/24 (81)

Possessive top, top pursues, pseudo-Isekai, reincarnation Tang cultivated in ACG (anime, comics and games), aka 2D reality On Bilibili, under "100 ways to save a soul splitter."

Me and the scumbag
A lot of overused tropes and cliche fixes, but still enjoyed it. Some areas oddly skipped through, taking only a couple panels when they could have been full chapters, but not parts that were extremely annoying to have skipped like in some stories. The art looks really similar to 100 Ways to Save a Soul Splitter. 37 feels like the end and 38 like a quick side story. Manga updates says there's 40 chapters but it's marked complete on the official English site @38. Licensed on Lalatoon and Toomics, "Can't Defy Fate." Officials from 22 onwards. First 3 officials are free, but the site is by subscription so any others aren't just buyable on their own. The translations here are understandable, but all of the cultural context is lost so it's confusing (the officials fix this). The end of chapter 6 is cut off in the officials.
