Ambrosia's manga / #omegaverse(52)

Child in extra

list - turn tables Scanlation was decent, story was nice. Omega went through some difficult times and broke their mate bond, beta was a really nice guy. It was sweet but developed a bit quickly. It could have had more gravitas with the broken bond and betaxomega pairing, but it tried and did a decent job, though it became a bit dramatic there near the end. Mpreg and very brief appearance of baby in the extra, but extra is mostly smut and family planning than any real family interaction. Beta seme was really nice and sympathetic, a bit go with the flow but a good guy.

List - babies, new 72: Ehhh another one of those Chinese manhuas that I can’t seem to get into. The kid is super cute but I’ll probably drop it here at 13. At 72 now with the official translations and definitely an easier read with better translations. It's still not quite my taste but it is cute, with a timid but hardworking uke, a stoic and cold but warming up and becoming caring seme, and a really cute well mannered kid. Mainly I want to read to see the kid become close with the seme (his adopted father) and them all get along well as a family.

list - masterlist, hidden gem beautiful and touching and emotional and well-written! a favorite. Intricate plot with an ongoing murder mystery case and also a revealing of the past history between En and Habaki and how they came to have this relationship and why En is pretending to be an omega. The love they have for each other and sacrifices they make, especially En, is amazing. It really makes a case for how true and deep love can overcome this omegaverse "instinct" and "fated" love. I love that it's a different take than omegaverse where two strangers fall in love so deeply just bc they are "fated" without really caring for each other. This story is the inverse of that, where there is no fated love by instinct at play, rather a deep bond nutured through the years of friendship and supporting each other, where both are willing to really die for each other and have the other's best interest at heart. En at first comes off a bit cold, but it's bc he's intentionally trying to create a distance hoping that one day Habaki can find his "fated love" and become free from the pain of his past. Habaki is a kind and honest detective, he understand En's nature after being with him for so long and is steadfast in his love. We really get to feel how much they love each other throughout the series, and the end is a satisfying conclusion where everything is revealed and they can live and love as their honest selves. Truly a wonderful story.
