Any cheating Uke manhwa recs, I need angst, chasing arc…Dramatics!
I think Takatora being a late-bloomer omega is really what makes this story unique. He constantly has to learn to unlearn his many omega-biases and alpha-supremacy ideologies while navigating through an unfair system he once benefitted from. Juicy!
Takatora has definitely made strides in understanding omega struggles, but at the same time it's very surface level in a way that doesn't really challenge the system or acknowledge the many micro/unseen discriminations omegas face on a daily basis, or their taken-for-granted labour/exploitation.
I think that's also a big reason why I love Kameyama (bf). He calls Takatora's attention to the realties he hasn't properly acknowleged due to his alpha-upbringing and lets him sit in that discomfort, while making him question his own discomfort towards the many facets of being an omega.(I think Takatora has done a lot of growing in this way, but at the same time I don't see he and Kameyama working out as a pair -- as much as I fricken love them as a power couple <//3 he just continues to be so bullheaded when faced with the facts of omega discrimination. God Takatora, prove me wrong)
Anyway, this is soo well written. I love all the characters, and I love seeing how differently they live their lives as omegas. Each update has been a treat!!

Tell me why a webtoon that officially ended at 66 chapters now has 55+ extra chapters of actual dogwater? Tell me why a somewhat complex ML became an actual toddler stuck in a grown man’s body that the MC constantly coddles? Each chapter is just the main character going : “Yeah, sorry, my bad for trying to live my life, and for talking to someone who isn’t you, you can fuck me as an apology.” I have been hate reading for a year, my brain is rotted, this does not get better.
Enjoyed this! It's a bit rough around the edges and not all plot points were explored fully, but this was really passionate, and the art was really striking which makes up for it! I'm a big fan of this author - her later works are definitely a lot more polished, but that just shows how much she's grown as a mangaka (*love* Life and Limit!). Love how her works are dark and emotionally turbulent, while still maintaining a 'shojou' feel!
Really wish this story didn't expand on their world's international politics if they were only going to explore it in the most shallow, racist, western imperialistic way. Like are we being for real?? Making every era of Hagar evil and bombing them as part of the happy ending? (HEAVILY side-eyeing the decision to make the one brown character a suicide bomber, btw)
I also love how God sent Saviors to countries that don't need saving, but explicitly avoided the one country that would benefit from one. Seriously, what is the point of a Savior if they're so weak and uninfluential that you fear that the kingdom would just use them as a political tool that would wreak havoc on the rest of the world??
Respectfully, the story should have stuck with its cozy magical book cafe plot and stayed in its lane. What an actual waste; I really enjoyed this story until its laughable attempt at world building.
There is genuine slop in my already read list that I definitely did not save. Tf.
This was pretty depressing to read. I recognize that it's inspired by the brutality/inequality of medieval Europe, but I just could not get into this. Lizzy being so easily executed over letters while Christina actually has sexual partners with no consequence made the former feel like it was done only for the shock value. Camilla being forced to take on Aruna's identity because she's a lesser noble and being seen as some annoying ugly side character until her death also rubbed me the wrong way.
Then there's the unchallenged misogyny - the way both intelligence *and* beauty is needed to be a great female ruler, which is emphasized by multiple characters on multiple occasions. The beauty standard of light hair and eyes was also uncomfortably emphasized imo - esp between Anne and Christina (though this in no way excuses Anne and her schemes).
I'm also not into the budding romance between Arthur and Aruna. They're a stale pairing. I'm not understanding Arthur's love for her at this point in time, and I'm honestly more intrigued by the relationship Aruna had with her previous partner at her kingdom.
Wish the story would also be more clear on where it's heading. The reasoning behind Arthur hiding his identity as King, having multiple Queen candidates, what future they're trying to build is really weak/underexplained.The story asserted early on that the Church is very powerful, and so a queen cant be chosen, an innocent girl can't be saved, the countrymen are rotten to the core because of the values it purports, but after 20+ chapters with no real exertion of authority, a view of the organization, or even a peek into how religion is embedded in society - it makes the whole plot seem half-baked and aimless.
I feel like there's a lot of strong characters in this series, but they're not being utilized to their full potential. Ultimately, this is a mediocre story being carried by great art.
Wow, comments were NOT kidding. Three adult/minor endgame couples is crazy. No real commentary on it either, it's just...there. Fourteen year olds crushing on adults is nothing new, but actually developing relationships from them?? I really thought this was going to be a refreshing slice of life/coming of age manga.
I know the mainstory ended with an allusion/light exploration of an unhealthily possessive Inseo; I didn't mind it and was actually intrigued at first because I'm a toxic yaoi enjoyer when it's done right, but this is just fucking annoying! Once I came to the realization that he's a toddler trapped in a grown man's body, this couple lost all appeal.
This was soo good. The uncanny experience of being frozen in time was so well depicted, but I love how the story centred on suspended animation as a slice of life concept that focused on the impact being frozen has on a person and their loved ones. Ito and Chiharu had such an interesting and unique dynamic, and such an unconventional age-gap romance xD
I usually hate love triangles, but god, there was so much heart in this. I appreciate that there was no confusion on where Ito stood, the mutual respect the Chiharu and Yatarou had for each other, and the story not trivializing the 'losers' feelings or ending Yatarou's arc with an altruistic bow out - loved how the manga showed his bitterness over Chiharu waking up and taking ‘his’ place and the guilt he felt over not being a ‘good guy’.
Ultimately, I’m really happy that Ito and Chiharu were end game. I’ve seen a lot of comments putting him down for his supposed indecisiveness, but I don’t think those comments really consider his perspective: While Ito loved him her entire life, Chiharu only has memories of her as a child. He says time and time again that suspended animation feels like waking up from one day’s rest. He already has to deal with a world that moved on without him, and in that time the little girl he saw as his sister becomes his age and his equal. He learns to ADAPT.
And ever since he found about Ito’s feelings, he has done his best to seriously consider her as a romantic partner and shift his love from platonic to romantic. Not to say he doesn’t have his flaws - the festival incident was painful - but again, this stems from him seeing her as that little girl he once knew and wanting to shield her from the pain of rejection; he grows from this - and hey, it only takes him a year, so maybe cut him some slack :)
Ps. loved an and mio - hilarious side couple xD
