This manga is kind of confusing... Again, as I said multiple times, I don't know if it's the translation's fault or the dialogues themselves are strange. But that doesn't mean it's all bad, actually it's pretty good. When I started reading this, I thought it was going to be typical bully alpha with super naive omega, but that wasn't it at all. Actually, the alpha is very caring of the omega and has always thought of his protection and the omega is not that naive. The alpha has a bad personality, tho he was protecting, it looked like he was teasing the omega all along but this situation in this manga didn't feel forced at all (like I didn't feel the alpha was an asshole towards the omega). And this omegaverse brings up a different issue: do things like fated mates (in the omegaverse) exist? when an alpha and omega bond (with the mark and such) are they doing it out of their will and feelings or only because of the pheromone? This is really interesting and I think I got the general picture the author tried to convey but then again it was still a bit confusing. Also there are 2 extras not translated here, I found them in spanish on another website. In general, I loved the art, I really liked the couple and that THEY HAD A SON and the story is good but it could have been developed in a better way and in more chapters (for example, I thought the flashbacks didn't really fit in with the flow of the story and there could have been chapters for them building their family and for the alpha's brother love story).
Love Is An Illusion
Wow, it took me so long to finish this manga (not because i didn't want to read, i was busy) but I finally did it! It has a lot of flaws, I'll admit but it's still SO FUCKING GOOD! I mean, I guess people judge a lot Hye Sung, but let's a take a look on his life. First, he has a tragic past. His father was so toxic and his mother left him and no one ever cared for him. Then, he spent his whole life thinking he was an alpha when he was an omega all the time, so he didn't even know himself anymore at some point. He was too naive and people tried to scam him. AND THEN he got pregnant and he didn't want the child! He wasn't even totally conscious when he had sex with Dojin for the first time and it wasn't Dojin's fault either because he put on a condom (tho it took a bit of time). Dojin convinced him to have the baby, but can you imagine what it was like to Hye Sung to try and accept this baby at such an early age when he didn't have an good example of parents and he didn't know Dojin for a long time? Well, of course he did some wrong things... like, I thought it was unnecessary of him fleeing after Dojin found him and him trying to have sex with that random alpha he found (but maybe the author thought that scene was necessary to point out that Dojin and Hye Sung had bonded). Still, I didn't like the way she explained the bonding. Tho I like the idea of being formed unconsciously, in the manga it says that they don't have to love each other necessarily, only feel affection for each other even for just a moment but that just feels a bit wrong (?) And when Hye Sung came back to Dojin because he discovered that it seemed more like he came back out of necessity (because he would get weaker if he wasn't with Dojin) than out of his own feelings of love. Of course, I know that they love each other but still... Anyway, Dojin did some shitty things as well like forcing himself on Hye Sung sometimes (and it was more than once) but he tried to make up for it and Hye Sung forgave him so I guess i'mma let it slide. Overall, I guess the story is not that complex but not that shallow either. And I really like the second couple too. But THANK GOD the manga didn't end without Hye Sung expressing his feelings openly for Dojin. Hye Sung is a tsundere, that's all. They are really happy together and they will overcome things as a family. Didn't think i would say that but it's actually one of my favs.
