Two Alphas. A chance encounter. One fateful kiss.

All his life, Karlyle Frost has lived under the strict guidance of his noble family. Burdened by responsibility and constant scrutiny over even his sex life, one day, he is diagnosed with orgasmic disorder. Following his doctor's suggestion to be intimate with someone who isn't an omega. Karlyle is introduced to Ash Jones, a fellow alpha and his brother-in-law Nicholas's ex-lover. Ash agrees to be Karlyle's partner for eight meetings as a favour to Nicholas— but unbeknownst to Ash. this isn't their first time sharing a kiss. Despite a rocky start and their promise to forgo all feelings, Ash, with his kind smiles, gentle caresses, and endearing voice, confuses Karlyle. Could it be possible, even by a sliver of a chance, that Karlyle isn't the only one falling in love?

This review is for S1 of the webtoon.

Wow. The chemistry between Karlyle (MC) and Ash (ML) is off the charts. The glances, touches, breaths, everything they share is charged with sexual tension. The story is so good so far, it's different from typical Omegaverse stories because this one focuses on the arranged relationship with a defined ending between two Alphas. So yes, the pining and angst are building up and I absolutely enjoy it.

As an Alpha, one would expect Karlyle to be confident in his own skin and abilities but I like how the author was able to show that even though Alphas are supposedly at the top of the societal hierarchy, they are just normal people. Karlyle still felt like he wasn't good enough for Ash, because he isn't an Omega. Therefore, he really did try to protect his heart but even he knew that his feelings for Ash were growing stronger the more time they spent with each other. And you know, I totally get him. Ash was so sweet on him, doting on him and taking care of him like a lover that it's no wonder that Karlyle wanted more.

The art is amazing too and I really love how liberally the artist makes Karlyle and Ash blush. Whenever Karlyle blushes it makes me think how adorable he is and then I understand why Ash can't help but tease him. Karlyle is so shy and he's had so many of his firsts with Ash, and I can't wait to read more of them.

Miscommunication trope is not cute. And Ash is too much of a player for poor Karyle that has gastritis (I am sorry but that is somewhat funny to me. It could be mistranslation, but the fact he's so sick because he can't find love is sad. But funny. More sad than funny but still.)

I didn’t enjoy this series because the relationship felt too rushed and without a clear reason. Unfortunately, I had to stop reading.

magnificent

[Aaryn Flott · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wooooow. Ash is just breed different!!! Another, omega verse WEBTOON, but with a twist. I love Karlyle and Ash’s dynamic and the exploration of their society’s gender norms and roles within a relationship.

- I'm talking about all the books in this review but no spoilers!
- I LLLLOOOVVVEEEE this story! As of right now, I am currently reading the side stories and it's still good as the main story! It has been a while since I have read the main but there are a small moments of miscommunication. Which I dislike, but to each their own.

ABO story with Alpha x Alpha dynamic.
Inhaled Book 1 like a madwoman. GOOD! SO GOOD!!

The way the author wrote the Karlyle's (mc) struggles to depart from the role that society and his family(asshole grandfather) have put on his shoulders as the one whose only purpose is to eventually mate with a suitable omega to breed a dominant alpha, because anything else is a failure for an alpha in the Frost family, inevitably stemming serious intimate issues, was a very pleasant surprise.

And then, there is Ash. Ash Jones. Heterochromia has never been sexier!!😌 The man exudes sex appeal as if it was carbon dioxide coming from his lungs in every breath😅, and is addicted to give nape kisses. Everything about him just makes me weak on the knees.

Yes, it has smut. But it is a highly introspective. The best part of the book is actually their monologues. I have also laughed a lot. Karlyle is just babey inside.🥰

What a wonderful surprise!!

Soy de lo más feliz de este mundo cuando los leo, la novela me hizo sentir tanto y el manhwa es tan perfecto que ya lo he leído más de 5 veces, pero es que son preciosos en toda la extensión de la palabra, lo mucho que los amo como pareja es alucinante, no puedo con lo lindos que son amboss y lo encantada que estoy con su relación, el desarrollo que se cargan es perfecto, su amor super puro y su futuro prometedor. Los amo muchísimo.
Ash Jones y Karlyle Frost me robaron el corazón con su historia.

(encara ongoing) Tot i que això és la novel·la, jo estic seguint el manhwa per tot el revolt que se'n fa a Twitter i ves... es tracta d'un BL omegaverse entre dos alfa que comença com a contracte per raons mèdiques, sembla que avança per totes dues parts, però hi ha mil problemes de comunicació fins que la relació s'acaba consolidant. Història molt tipicota amb unes il·lustracions que no són gens del meu estil...

[bee · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is absolutely the worst way to find oneself in a situationship.... my guy Karlyle doesn't need this. 🥹 he needs better boundaries because now he's out here being delusional in the most heartbreaking way.

[Lia · Rating 4 out of 5]

ME ENCANTA ESTA NOVELA. Aunque en momentos siento que avanza algo lento, es una gran novela sobre amor y aceptación (eso lo vemos conforme avanzamos en los volúmenes). Muy entretenida, ligera y fácil de leer. La verdad que la volvería a leer mil veces.

[Akhil Kang · Rating 1 out of 5]

I didn't understand the plotline at all. Artists really should figure out the pacing of the story; I thought BL/yaoi was all about the slowness of the homos falling for each other?! This alpha/blood story was so confusing.

This comic is sweeter than a lot of the typical comics. I'm still trying to figure out what's going on in the plot.
