I wanna read it but only if none of the genders swap. Don't want to devote a lot of time if one of them switches to omega.
Dropped at chp 18. I can't stand when people use the love of a good person to get back/show off to the person they actually want to be with. That blonde alpha seems so sweet and the MC just went "Ik you like me but pretend to be my boyfriend in front of someone." Like no, ew, gtfo. Maybe if it's proven later that he's an asshole, I'll come back. But rn Asel that's the most dirtbag move I've seen in a while and I'm really fucking disappointed.
I come back here every now and again to re-read it. Every time I'm left sobbing. It doesn't matter that I have the whole thing pretty much memorized, I just can't help feeling devastated.
Maybe that's what it's about for me: the cycle repeats with each new god and beholder— the cycle of love and grief. I come back to this to experience that same bittersweet moment all over again. What is grief but love without anywhere to go?
Just like the beholder who has to keep going. Ok the last few scenes imply maybe the god can come back and interact subtly but I want so bad for him to wisk the beholder away so they could be together in heaven or the god's realm.
I find myself wanting more form this story and world that we just got a little bit of world building for. But then I remember that it conjured heartfelt and real sadness in me and I realize it doesn't need to be longer. It got in and out and did what it set out to do. Sometimes that's all you need, even if it's not all you want.
Maybe one day I'll be able to read this and not cry my eyes out but I kind of doubt it. Because to read this, for me, and not feel the love and grief the characters felt for how short of a time I knew them, would mean I was no longer human. Because to be human is to love and to cry and to wish for more.
Really upsetting to see an S tier plotline devolve into the amnesia + rape trope. I had a feeling it was coming (and after reading through some of the comments I see people saying this would happen) but honestly I'm so disappointed. For once I thought we'd get a good top that helped the bottom deal with trauma in a healthy, respectful way. Whatever, guess I shouldn't hope for better out of this genre :/
Never in my life have I gone from a 5 star read to a 1 star in one chapter. Everything was going relatively well until they shoe-horned in a r@pe scene, destroyed the king's characterization up until that point, and then just rushed the ending. I read it all just to make sure the author wasn't going to actually have Michael end up with Albert only to see I was, in fact, not hallucinating. They ended up together. Or really Albert forced his will in Michael and they're going to continue in this sick song and dance until they die, I guess? And it was so fucking jarring that they had sex during the time Michael was in that child-like state. It was like the author was suddenly switched out for a sadistic, pedo, r@pist all of a sudden with those last chapters. And for what? To ruin that delicious tension and interesting dynamic? Heide (the aide I dunno if I spelled his name correctly) was the better choice romance wise for Michael. I'm so upset. Like genuinely I'm so mad.
Wayyyy too short. Left so many unanswered questions. I mean I've read enough to know what probably happened and guess at what comes after that random ass ending, but it's still annoying for everything to just get wrapped up in the middle of the climax. Tbh it was very weak storytelling after the halfway mark. It doesn't make sense why the higher ups hid that the outsiders weren't human, especially since revealing that would just allow them to go ahead with their war plans. It also doesn't make sense why H-O2 didn't want Helm to reveal that. There was that hinted relationship between H-O2 and the alpha (that could have been fun to explore). We never found out if Coral Reef betrayed Helm, we never saw the inner forest, or figured out why H-O2 let Helm think he wanted to kill him all those years. We also never really found out what happened in those flashback scenes with everyone dead. Did H-O2 like actually kill all of Helm's partners? Basically there were so many guns that didn't go off, so to speak, and it was wild that they were brought up narratively only to never be touched on again or completely thrown out.
I'm a sucker for the characters like the MC who have trauma and are very quiet, try their best to stay out of the way and follow rules. And that the MC can't really help but fall in love because MC is doing his best. Are there other BL manga with dynamics similar to this? I did see someone ask for similar plots but that's not necessarily needed for this. Just a quiet, demure bottom lol.
If it's not your thing, move on. Why are you kink shaming? In 2025? During Pride???? You guys are letting purity culture ruin you. Didn't your parents ever reach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all? If it turns out to be noncon, sure I can understand the complaints. But it's just kink and you guys are wet blankets.
Every time I see this update, I kick my feet and gush about it to my partners. I'm so in love with the story and these characters. I'm incapable of being normal about them!

I hate that the ML had to forgive his parents in the end, I hated that the MC wouldn't let that issue go. His parents ABUSED and NEGLECTED him all his life. You shouldn't have to forgive people like that. And don't start with the "but they're family, you have to forgive family, they're the only family you have." I only have one appendix but I still cut that out of me when it became toxic to my body.
So I don't even know what possessed me to keep reading this. By chapter 10 I knew that fucker was going to be endgame for Jichan. Mido doesn't deserve to be within a 100 yards of Jichan. No matter what happened, Jichan was ALSO A CHILD when they partied. How could you blame a kid for what happened to Mido??? Yeah he made a mistake but that's not enough to forcibly change him into an omega, rape him countless times, physically abuse and torture him, emotionally torture him, or least of all trying to make sure his life is shit. BITCH YOUR LIFE TURNED AROUND, YOU WEREN'T SUFFERING AFTER YOU FOUND EUGENE! SO WHY TF DID YOU STILL WANT REVENGE!? YOU PSYCOPATH! I'm legitimately so appalled by this that I think I'm gunna blacklist this author from my reading list. I mean jokes on me for reading it ig. I hoped to hell and back he'd end up with the other ML just for the semblance of a better partner, but nooooooo. Had to go with the most toxic ML I think I've ever seen. I won't be forgetting this story for a while and you know what, I'm sending the author my therapy bills bc what the actual fuck.
I feel a little cheated. Don't get me wrong, a slow burn is nice and season 1 hit all the right tropes and story beats, but season 2 left something to be desired. For one, why bring up the avian clan that the males can get pregnant if that wasn't going to be included in any meaningful way? Also, we never saw Godo's partner and with how he was so obsessed with Yun, it felt like he wasn't designed with a partner and that was thrown in as an afterthought. Why didn't the avians have a more animalistic form like the serpents (they were just angels at this point)? Why didn't we get to see more of the serpent culture (like we got to know about avian courtship, their wings, the fact they become fatigued with heavy rain, that they don't lose power when a wing is cut off, and that there is a clan where males can hatch eggs, but nothing really about the serpent race)? There was a lot left to be desired with this story, especially because the premise was fairly unique. I'm just slightly disappointed.
ALSO when are we gonna have a bl where the bottom is the more powerful of the two? Like I enjoyed the fact that Yun was an imposing figure and more powerful until Yayul became a dragon! Then he was just like the eight winged avians, which put him above Yun! For once I want a badass uke that stays badass!
Every single chapter makes me so euphoric. This is the onlyanga I click at lightspeed the second it updates. I will never be able to just let the story cook, I have to read it immediately! I think I'm going to be buying the physical copies!
I get such a "hurts your chest kind of good" feeling when I read this. Like I waver between feeling hopeless dejection and sublime euphoria every chapter. It's such unique feeling. I hope they both end up happy.
I'm so in love with this story, these characters, the art, the humanity of it all. I wish I could live in it.
I was really looking forward to a new chapter but the improved translation is very nice!
