I could see the sparks of hatred (rivalry) brewing between them while Camila here still thinking that they'd get together.
I like how the author tried to show and nail down the ugly sides of an ABO world. Usually with ABO, there's just good sex, impregnation maybe, but here, the author showed that ABO people are beasts and have the law of the jungle applied to their very core. Most people can't do what they want due to it, like Omegas are scared of being devoured and being thrown away by their mate because they'll be dependent for life once bitten, Betas can only marry the same species to be able to procreate, and Alphas are in the mercy of their insticts, despite their thoughts.
Ofc, there's really hard to swallow views that are in the norm here, but like it's also understandable why they have those values since the world they live in is fundamentally different from the world WE live in. Really neat and pretty good writing by the mangaka.
I remember myself and my classmates in HS and we were all a bunch of dumbasses except for a few who matured early lols. In college, those same dumbass classmates and myself started to become serious and emotionally mature in our own ways so I keep thinking that in the future, these boys will be more stable in their relationship and more emotionally mature to handle it since they already experienced a dumb misunderstandings. Although in the end it's fiction and there's no such thing as future HAHAHHAHA
But the most important thing is the s*x IS OFF SCREEN AHHHHH UNFORGIVABLE GRRRR
Lol I remember that I was an anime fan before I could taste any Japanese cuisine and I was very disappointed when I first tasted an authentic ramen because it was tasteless (all I could taste was salt and little umami) and didn't live up to my expectations. I tried other Japanese foods then and it was either gross/tasteless so when I read manga/novels praising Japanese cuisine endlessly afterwards, I just roll my eyes because I felt disillusioned.
Anyways, that was two decades ago. I can now eat Japanese cuisine and find some of them especially tasty lols but it's really not as great as it is hyped up especially when you're born in a country rich in spices. It truly depends on a person if their tastebuds likes your culture's food or not.
He wears his heart on his sleeves, has desires and a bit selfish, but overall very kind and selfless. I know a lot of people are irritated by him but I love how "human" he is written. He's not perfect nor a genius, just a guy trying to do his best.
Been rereading this for a long time. I still come back to it sometimes, like I do now. I actually find the open ending fitting. They were too young to proclaim whatever label they should have in their relationship. They were 15~17 years old here, they still have forever to spend; why the hurry? Also they're content with their relationship-- that's way better than couples who proclaim I love you and then have some flimsy drama-misunderstanding esque sh*t that breaks them apart so easily. God knows I've read to many manga/manhwas/manhuas like that.
Anyways, I sometimes imagine them going overseas to go to a country with legal gay marriage when they've established themselves and are ready to settle down. I doubt that anything could separate them atp.
They're pretty obsessed with each other so deserved, ig? Anyways I'm laughing at the difference between the EN comments and the KR comments because Koreans wanted them to just f*ck it out lmao they like toxic bl relationships a lot, which is why most KR BLs are toxic
I love the art sm it's fluid af with grounded anatomy. The men and women are hot especially the women are drawn so well in consideration to the environment they're thrown in (they have fit and even muscled bodies as one would expect from living in a dungeon for a year or more where food is scarce and they have to fight for their loves everyday).
And the story! There's an overarching mystery about the witch and I love how it's being uncovered one by one as they go. I especially love the later chapters were the stakes are raised. I'm glad I reread this again! The last time I read it, it only had about 50+ or so chapters.
Y'all driving me nuts hahah. Beware of the spoilers imma give you below if you want to go in blind and enjoy the story as it is.

DW about Daejeong, she's literally Chaeheon's cousin (on his mother's side). She's one of the few people who knows that Chaeheon's kind of f*cked in the head and has major boss girl energy, although readers might not like her for that. She and Chaeheon has a sibling relationship though, since the only people who really cared about Chaeheon was his aunt, uncle and Daejeong (although she will not admit this, as most siblings do).
-------
Also something I really liked when I read this:
*Chaeheon and Jeongyun in the middle of sex, after all the misunderstandings have been solved*
Chaeheon: We could be having sex since 2nd year highschool
Jeongyun: But we were underage that time
Chaeheon: *speechless*
Another take:
Jeongyun: Think positively! If we got together in HS, we could've broken up due to college entrance exam pressure etc., isn't it nice that we only got together now (that there's nothing getting in the way between us)
Chaeheon: *sanity snapping*
But the throuple is heavily implied. It may not be romantic as everyone wanted, but the three of them form strong solid bonds that goes beyond friendship. I've read this novel a long time ago and it's currently still ongoing.
You may find Christelle annoying, but she's the reason why the three of them get the opportunity to get together most of the time, Jesse is the balance between them and what draws them all together, and Cedric is the strong support that will have their backs. It's kind of funny since Christelle and Cedric wants Jesse's attention and Jesse would love to avoid them. Jesse does eventually return back their affection. Both of them are overprotective of Jesse.
