에이록 테이윈드는 사람을 둘 죽였다.
지방의 작은 영지를 가진 벤다이크 남작가의 차남 클로프 벤다이크, 오로지 그를 얻기 위해서.
하지만 제게 돌아온 건 지독한 증오와 가늠하기 어려운 혐오뿐이었다.

Overall... I really enjoyed this series despite its obvious flaws!
Not sure if I'm just detached or something, but I honestly expected things to be much crueler than they actually were. DON'T HATE ME, OKAY? Everything that happened here was definitely cruel, heartbreaking, and tragic, I was just expecting something even more bleak and irredeemable. But maybe that's exactly what surprised me. Instead of leaving me hopeless, the story chose to explore guilt, redemption, and the possibility of continuing to live despite carrying unforgivable sins. I ended this series feeling genuinely satisfied. I especially loved the "What If" side stories because they never tried to erase the tragedy. They simply honored what could have been. Volume 6, in particular, was everything I never knew I needed.
One thing that did confuse me, though, was the huge author interview at the end. There were so many explanations for plot points and details that were never directly explored in the six volumes themselves, and I couldn't help but wonder why those couldn't have been included naturally in the story. Maybe it's because there's another spin-off novel about Rapiel and Wolflake (I don't know the title), but thankfully the Q&A still answered a lot of the lingering questions I had after finishing.
I also realized I was being so dramatic for putting the last two volumes on hold for a day. I genuinely thought Volumes 5 and 6 might somehow ruin the already beautiful ending of Volumes 1–4, but I should've trusted the story more. I'm honestly glad I couldn't sleep without finishing it because those last two volumes turned out to be essential. They didn't take away from the ending—they completed it.
And I've said this before, but I really don't give a fuck about Kloff. My biggest concern throughout this entire series has always been Aeroc and his children. That's exactly why Volume 6 became my favorite. Watching Mama Aeroc finally hold, love, and raise his children after everything he had lost made me happier than any romantic resolution ever could.
And now... I think I'm going to reread the final chapters of Volume 1 just so I can appreciate the bittersweet beauty of Volume 6 even more, hahaha! I'm a masochist like that.

ITRG: Volume 1 — In the Abyss (Part 1) 🔴 June 27
Knowing me, I love messy and severly abusive and toxic environments in my books but, I actually hesitated to start this novel because I was busy and wasn't sure if I could invest not only my time but also my emotional capacity into it. But look at me now!
The first part alone made me close the book for a moment. When he said that, "It's painful but more tolerable than hunger," referring to selling his body, it genuinely broke my heart. It was such a devastating way to introduce his character, and I had to keep reading because I needed to know what led him to that point.
I don't think either Aelock or Klopp are "good" people. Aelock committed a terrible sin that forever changed Rayfiel's life, while Klopp answered that sin with years of unimaginable cruelty. As I kept reading, I constantly found myself asking: To what extent does Aelock deserve to suffer in order to atone? At what point does revenge stop becoming justice? Is what Klopp is doing really the right way to avenge Rayfiel? The novel never gives a straightforward answer, and I think that's exactly what makes it so compelling.
To me, though, the greatest victims were always Rayfiel and the children. Another detail that completely broke my heart in this volume was the imagery of petals. Those petals represented the children Aelock lost through miscarriage while he was selling his body just to survive. While everyone else only saw a man trying to stay alive, Aelock alone carried the memories of lives that never had the chance to bloom. It's so sad.
It's been a long time since I've cried so hard that my screen became blurry. I'm an easy crier, but it's actually rare for a book to make me cry that much. The entire sequence of Aelock dying, from the moment Klopp held him until his very last breath, absolutely destroyed me. Watching him apologize, admit that he could be hurt too, and still choose to say "I love you" despite everything... I couldn't stop crying. But honestly... I don't really give a fuck about Klopp. I understand what the novel was trying to do with his character, and I think he's fascinating from a psychological standpoint, but emotionally, my heart remained with Aelock from beginning to end. His realization came far too late for me to feel any satisfaction. What remained wasn't redemption, it was purely regret.
Anyway, I can't wait for the next volumes and timelines!

ITRG: Volume 2 — Into the Brilliant Garden (Part 2) 🟠 June 28
Volume 2 is basically the start of the second timeline and I'm honestly so excited. After everything that happened in the first lifetime, seeing the story from Kloff's perspective is a bit refreshing.
What stood out to me the most is that despite all the irritation and anger Kloff insists he feels toward Aeroc, it's obvious that he's deeply attracted to him. He keeps making excuses for it, convincing himself it's because Aeroc reminds him of an omega or because of Rapiel, but I honestly think this says a lot about the first timeline too. Kloff was probably very attracted to Aeroc back then as well, but his pride and his belief that only alpha and omega relationships were "right" kept him from acknowledging it. It even feels like he was drawn to Rapiel because Rapiel reminded him of Aeroc while fitting the kind of relationship Kloff thought he was supposed to have.
And watching Kloff slowly lose his mind over Aeroc was honestly one of my favorite parts of this volume. The jealousy, the obsession, the constant denial, even vomiting blood because of his own unresolved feelings (LOL), it was both fascinating and frustrating to watch. At the same time, it made me feel even sadder for Aeroc because unlike Kloff, he remembers everything from their first life. Every moment Kloff gets closer is another reminder of the trauma Aeroc is still carrying, which made many of their interactions heartbreaking despite this timeline being so different.
By the end of the volume, even though they finally became intimate through mutual consent, I still couldn't fully celebrate because Aeroc's wounds from the first timeline are still there. Their relationship feels fragile, and that's exactly why I'm so excited to continue reading. I really can't wait to see where this second lifetime takes them!

ITRG: Volume 3 — Into the Brilliant Garden (Part 3) 🟡 June 29
Following the events from the second volume, I thought this volume would simply be about Kloff and Aeroc finally getting their happy ending after everything they had gone through, but it's also about forgiveness. My heart hurts so much for Aeroc!
One of my favorite parts of this volume is seeing Kloff slowly become the complete opposite of the man he once was. He still has that possessive, overbearing personality that makes me laugh, but now every action comes from love instead of pride. Watching him panic whenever Aeroc cries, making sure he eats properly, kissing his tears away, proudly calling him the mother of their children, and repeatedly telling him "I love you" was incredibly satisfying after everything that happened in the previous volumes. He's still crazy but genuinely in love with Aeroc here.
At the same time, this volume reminded me just how deep Aeroc's trauma truly runs. Every strange remark he makes about "this time," the cabin, Rapiel, or their children suddenly makes perfect sense once we realize that he has never truly escaped the first timeline. His memories continue to haunt him even in happiness. The childbirth scenes were especially heartbreaking because Aeroc genuinely believed history would repeat itself, that Kloff would take away his child, abandon him, and force him to relive the same nightmare. It was so sad! And Aeroc desperately recounted every horrible thing that happened in the first timeline after he gave birth, believing Kloff needed to know the truth, only for Kloff to simply tell him that he had already forgiven him. That single sentence carried more weight than any grand declaration in the novel so far. For Aeroc, who had lived believing that he could never be forgiven for what he had done, hearing those words was enough to finally release the guilt he had carried for an entire lifetime. His response— "Does that mean I can love you now?" —absolutely shattered my heart. Aeroc never thought he had the right to love Kloff after everything that happened! He believed forgiveness had to come before love. Watching him finally smile, confess his love and genuinely believe that he was allowed to love and be loved felt like watching someone awaken after an endless nightmare.
I also loved how the novel never forgot its central theme of repetition. Kloff keeps saying "I love you" over and over because Aeroc spent an entire lifetime never hearing those words. Their constant confessions stop feeling repetitive and instead become healing. Every "I love you" repairs another wound left behind by the first timeline.
And then there is the final dream. I honestly think it is one of the most beautiful endings I've read (ending of this timeline though). At first it tricks both Aeroc and the reader into believing that everything was just another illusion, another cruel dream that would disappear the moment he reached for it. But when Kloff runs toward him, embraces him without hesitation, and their children call out "Mom," everything falls back into place. The darkness that haunted Aeroc throughout the story literally disappears as Kloff leads him into the sunlight. The pebbles, the rose garden, their children, another pregnancy, their quiet domestic life, it all symbolizes that the future they once thought impossible has finally become reality.
I especially loved the final image of Aeroc looking back one last time before smiling. It felt like he was saying goodbye to the first timeline, to all the pain, loneliness, and guilt that had followed him for so long. For the first time, he no longer needed to keep looking behind him. He could finally move forward.
And now I'm scared to move to the next volumes because if I am not mistaken, there's another timeline. So this beautiful love will be shattered, I guess?

ITRG: Volume 4 and 4.5 — Canon Line – Side Story 1 🟢 June 29
Side Story 1
This SS feels so random but also hurt in such a different way from the main story. Instead of watching Aeroc slowly heal, we watch him lose all certainty again because Kloff's amnesia makes him believe this is finally the chance for Kloff to have the life he deserved without him. Aeroc trying to push Kloff away out of love, while Kloff, even without a single memory, keeps finding himself drawn back to Aeroc over and over again. My heart broke every time Aeroc wondered if he should let Kloff go, convinced that he had stolen someone else's happiness, when all Kloff wanted was the "angel" standing in front of him. I also couldn't stop laughing at amnesiac Kloff accidentally inventing the most ridiculous conclusions imaginable, but underneath all the comedy was something incredibly beautiful: even without his memories, his instincts remained the same. He still comforted Aeroc whenever he cried, still wanted to protect him, and still couldn't bear the thought of another version of himself hurting the person he loved. It was cute and the reason of the short amnesiac episode is so funny, THEY WERE JUST HORNY, give them a break! Haha!
Side Story 2
I thought this would bore me but it's actually one of the sweetest chapters ever. Seeing everything through Lenoc's innocent perspective made it both hilarious and emotional, especially with his constant belief that Kloff was a "Demon King" tormenting his beloved mother, Aeroc. I laughed at his dramatic schemes but also felt heartbroken as he slowly learned the truth about imprinting and realized how deeply Kloff loved both Aeroc and their family. It was such a wholesome, funny, and touching side story that perfectly showed how much this family had healed. Also, we get to see Rapiel and Wolflake's family too!
Side Story 3 (+1 on V4.5)
Also such a cute SS! I think what really gets me the most is when Aeroc gets to be with his children, his babies... It feels so tender and warm. It was everything he could ask for in his previous life, and I am genuinely happy for him! SS 3 felt like the final piece that healed everything left broken between Aeroc and Kloff. It was bittersweet to see Aeroc still carrying so much guilt and believing he didn't deserve Kloff's love, while Kloff had already accepted both his own mistakes and his feelings for Aeroc. It feels so nice to see their family together. They're so full of love for each other.

ITRG: Volume 5 — In the Brilliant Abyss – Side Story 2 🟣 July 1
I realized, I was being so dramatic before starting Volume 5. I genuinely thought an alternate timeline would ruin everything that Volumes 1–4 built, and I was so scared it would cheapen all the pain, love, and tragedy that made this story unforgettable to me. But I think this volume is very essential.
This side story doesn't "erase" the first timeline, it mourns it. The first Aeroc and the first Kloff never get another chance, and that reality never changes. They never meet again, and I think that's the saddest part of this entire novel to me. Their tragedy remains permanent, and Volume 5 never asks us to forget them. If anything, this only made me grieve them even more.
This volume lowkey changed how I viewed Kloff though. He's seriously just crazy for Aeroc. Every happy moment with this Aeroc becomes another reminder of the Aeroc he destroyed. Every smile reminds him of the man who starved. Every elegant dinner reminds him of potatoes. Every beautiful outfit reminds him of ragged clothes. His guilt never disappears. He doesn't move on from it. He simply chooses to love this Aeroc while carrying the unbearable weight of the past for the rest of his life. He was insanely trying to repent all throughout. I also loved that Aeroc finally gets something he never truly had before: a choice. In this timeline, he falls in love naturally. He chooses to trust Kloff, to forgive him, to stay by his side, and to say, "I love you." He was so silly and lovely here. Unlike the wounded Aeroc from the first and second timeline.
The painting was one of my favorite parts here, honestly. It's so sad and cruel, and it was never meant to mock Aeroc. It was Kloff's grief made tangible. He couldn't stop seeing the Aeroc he had destroyed. That's why I loved that the cabin, which once symbolized misery, eventually became a place filled with warmth, laughter, kisses, and promises of planting yellow daffodils together.
And the final chapter from Kloff's perspective absolutely touched me. "It was his second death." He expected to wake up beside the Aeroc he had lost, only to realize that the person he could never apologize to was gone forever. The only thing left for him was to love this Aeroc with everything he had while living with memories that would never leave him. That ending hurt me the most. Kloff whispering "I love you" over and over again, hoping that somehow those words might reach the Aeroc he lost, was devastating. It wasn't simply a confession meant for the man sleeping beside him, it was for the one who would never hear it. And I know, Kloff will forever regret not granting that Aeroc's last wish.
Anyway, I really thought this volume would ruin the novel for me. But it made me appreciate Volumes 1–4 even more. The first Aeroc and the first Kloff never got the life they deserved, and they'll never meet again. That thought still breaks my heart. But because of that tragedy, this second chance feels earned rather than undeserved. I don't think I'll ever forget either of them. I feel like ugly crying.

ITRG: Volume 6 — One Afternoon – Canon Line – Special Side Story ⚪ July 2
I wasn't expecting Volume 6 to destroy me this much, I mean I know that this is a side story, but I didn't know that this is another "what if." A "what if" side story after Volume 1 where the first Aeroc ceased to live.
Seeing Aeroc wake up and finally hold his children was enough to make me cry. After dying without ever knowing if his babies survived, watching him meet Rapiel, Jester, Seth, Blaine, and eventually the twins Yohn and Ivide... I genuinely couldn't stop tearing up. The way he wanted to memorize every bit of their warmth, their scent, their tiny hands wrapped around him, and how he kept wishing he had more than two arms so he could hold all of them at once... it shattered me. Like, that's Mama! They gave Aeroc the chance to become the father he thought he would never get to be. I was crying so hard at every scene!
One of my favorite things about this volume is that it focuses so much on family rather than romance. Kloff raising six children with so much patience and love completely changed the atmosphere of the story. Ray comforting his siblings, Jester insisting on kissing Aeroc goodnight, Seth proudly claiming Mama all to himself, little Blaine curling against Aeroc, the twins growing up safely... every single interaction made the estate, once filled with hatred and grief, finally feel like a home.
But even until the end, Kloff refused to call what he felt "love" because, to him, doing so would erase the innocent people who had died because of their choices. That realization was heartbreaking. Their happiness never came without guilt. It was something they chose to carry together for the rest of their lives.
What moved me most was that this wasn't a perfect happy ending (but to me, it is, I don't care about anything else. Other Rapiel is very happy with Wolflake). But the children became the proof that even after endless hatred, revenge, grief, and regret, life could still quietly bloom again. The final image of Aeroc and Kloff simply watching their children run through the garden while holding each other's hands said everything that needed to be said. And the ending of the abandoned estate especially made me emotional. It felt bittersweet, hopeful, and strangely comforting.
I was always devastated that the first timeline Aeroc and Kloff never got their happy ending, and this side story only reminded me that they never truly will. They'll never experience this future together. That life belongs only to this "what if." And this may only be an alternate universe, but it gave me something I didn't realize I still needed after finishing the main story: the chance to see Aeroc smile without fear, to see Kloff smile without hatred, and to see the family they could have been. I just love it so, so much!
Not sure if I'm just detached or something, but I honestly expected things to be much crueler than they actually were. DON'T HATE ME, OKAY? Everything that happened here was definitely cruel, heartbreaking, and tragic, I was just expecting something even more bleak and irredeemable. But maybe that's exactly what surprised me. Instead of leaving me hopeless, the story chose to explore guilt, redemption, and the possibility of continuing to live despite carrying unforgivable sins. I ended this series feeling genuinely satisfied. I especially loved the "What If" side stories because they never tried to erase the tragedy. They simply honored what could have been.

I realized, I was being so dramatic before starting Volume 5. I genuinely thought an alternate timeline would ruin everything that Volumes 1–4 built, and I was so scared it would cheapen all the pain, love, and tragedy that made this story unforgettable to me. But I think this volume is very essential.
This side story doesn't "erase" the first timeline, it mourns it. The first Aeroc and the first Kloff never get another chance, and that reality never changes. They never meet again, and I think that's the saddest part of this entire novel to me. Their tragedy remains permanent, and Volume 5 never asks us to forget them. If anything, this only made me grieve them even more.
This volume lowkey changed how I viewed Kloff though. He's seriously just crazy for Aeroc. Every happy moment with this Aeroc becomes another reminder of the Aeroc he destroyed. Every smile reminds him of the man who starved. Every elegant dinner reminds him of potatoes. Every beautiful outfit reminds him of ragged clothes. His guilt never disappears. He doesn't move on from it. He simply chooses to love this Aeroc while carrying the unbearable weight of the past for the rest of his life. He was insanely trying to repent all throughout. I also loved that Aeroc finally gets something he never truly had before: a choice. In this timeline, he falls in love naturally. He chooses to trust Kloff, to forgive him, to stay by his side, and to say, "I love you." He was so silly and lovely here. Unlike the wounded Aeroc from the first and second timeline.
The painting was one of my favorite parts here, honestly. It's so sad and cruel, and it was never meant to mock Aeroc. It was Kloff's grief made tangible. He couldn't stop seeing the Aeroc he had destroyed. That's why I loved that the cabin, which once symbolized misery, eventually became a place filled with warmth, laughter, kisses, and promises of planting yellow daffodils together.
And the final chapter from Kloff's perspective absolutely touched me. "It was his second death." He expected to wake up beside the Aeroc he had lost, only to realize that the person he could never apologize to was gone forever. The only thing left for him was to love this Aeroc with everything he had while living with memories that would never leave him. That ending hurt me the most. Kloff whispering "I love you" over and over again, hoping that somehow those words might reach the Aeroc he lost, was devastating. It wasn't simply a confession meant for the man sleeping beside him, it was for the one who would never hear it. And I know, Kloff will forever regret not granting that Aeroc's last wish.
Anyway, I really thought this volume would ruin the novel for me. But it made me appreciate Volumes 1–4 even more. The first Aeroc and the first Kloff never got the life they deserved, and they'll never meet again. That thought still breaks my heart. But because of that tragedy, this second chance feels earned rather than undeserved. I don't think I'll ever forget either of them. I feel like ugly crying.

ITRG: Volume 6 — One Afternoon – Canon Line – Special Side Story ⚪ July 2
I wasn't expecting Volume 6 to destroy me this much, I mean I know that this is a side story, but I didn't know that this is another "what if." A "what if" side story after Volume 1 where the first Aeroc ceased to live.
Seeing Aeroc wake up and finally hold his children was enough to make me cry. After dying without ever knowing if his babies survived, watching him meet Rapiel, Jester, Seth, Blaine, and eventually the twins Yohn and Ivide... I genuinely couldn't stop tearing up. The way he wanted to memorize every bit of their warmth, their scent, their tiny hands wrapped around him, and how he kept wishing he had more than two arms so he could hold all of them at once... it shattered me. Like, that's Mama! They gave Aeroc the chance to become the father he thought he would never get to be. I was crying so hard at every scene!
One of my favorite things about this volume is that it focuses so much on family rather than romance. Kloff raising six children with so much patience and love completely changed the atmosphere of the story. Ray comforting his siblings, Jester insisting on kissing Aeroc goodnight, Seth proudly claiming Mama all to himself, little Blaine curling against Aeroc, the twins growing up safely... every single interaction made the estate, once filled with hatred and grief, finally feel like a home.
But even until the end, Kloff refused to call what he felt "love" because, to him, doing so would erase the innocent people who had died because of their choices. That realization was heartbreaking. Their happiness never came without guilt. It was something they chose to carry together for the rest of their lives.
What moved me most was that this wasn't a perfect happy ending (but to me, it is, I don't care about anything else. Other Rapiel is very happy with Wolflake). But the children became the proof that even after endless hatred, revenge, grief, and regret, life could still quietly bloom again. The final image of Aeroc and Kloff simply watching their children run through the garden while holding each other's hands said everything that needed to be said. And the ending of the abandoned estate especially made me emotional. It felt bittersweet, hopeful, and strangely comforting.
I was always devastated that the first timeline Aeroc and Kloff never got their happy ending, and this side story only reminded me that they never truly will. They'll never experience this future together. That life belongs only to this "what if." And this may only be an alternate universe, but it gave me something I didn't realize I still needed after finishing the main story: the chance to see Aeroc smile without fear, to see Kloff smile without hatred, and to see the family they could have been. I just love it so, so much!

Muy pocas veces hago reseñas de los libros, porque la realidad es que soy pésima; pero, para ser sincera, este libro lo merece. O, al menor, a mi parecer.
Al principio es un romance crudo que ni siquiera puede llamarse romance. La manera en la que Klopp lleva su venganza a niveles extremos; aún teniendo sentimientos por Arok, lo que hace es decirse a sí mismo que ve a Rafael en él, haciéndolo enojarse mucho más y lastimar al pobre de Arok a niveles horribles. ¡Ojo! No lo estoy defendiendo... del todo. Lo que hizo está mal, pero pagó sus pecados con creces.
Me rompí a llorar a la madrugada mientras leía el final del primer volumen, de verdad lo sentí demasiado. La manera en la que Arok terminó eligiendo darle el gusto a Klopp y morir de la misma manera en que Rafael para que el infierno de ambos termine, la manera en que resistió lo más que pudo, aún herido y al borde de la muerta, porque no quería que los hijos de la persona que amaba murieran, y la manera en la que Klopp se dio cuenta que estaba enamorado de él a pesar de no admitirlo ni siquiera al final de sus días.
Fue una hermosa redención el haberles dado una segunda oportunidad en los volúmenes siguientes, y la manera en que ambos mundos se mezclan está simplemente bien desarrollado. Lo que sí, todavía no estoy muy segura de si al final todo fue un sueño de Arok, o en verdad ocurrió una especie de milagro para que ambos pudieran ser felices.
Creo que eso es lo único que tendría por criticarle a Winterbaun: el hecho de que sentí que era una manera de contentar a los lectores de cierta manera, y habiéndole dado muerte a Arok en el primer volumen no encontró otra forma de hacer que todo se solucione. Sin embargo, no le bajo ninguna estrella por eso.
Cualquier libro que me haga llorar, que me haga sentir, siempre va a tener cinco estrellas para mí. Va a ser uno de mis favoritos por lejos. Ya de por sí me gusta el mundo ABO/Omegaverse, pero cuando tiene una buena historia por detrás me parece mucho mejor.
En fin, esta novela no es para todo el mundo, pero aun así les recomiendo esta lectura. Posiblemente lo hubiera terminado todo en un día si no tuviera responsabilidades, porque ya sea que es una novela rápida de leer, o que simplemente necesitas saber qué es lo que sigue y no puedes esperar, es simplemente adictivo.

This is the most contrived load of bullshit I’ve ever had the misfortune of reading. Straight fucking garbage. One of the worst things I’ve read in the last 5 or so years (and I’ve read some awful shit) Nonsensical was plot and even more nonsensical ass characters. Aeroc was okay but only at certain times, so that’s a star I guess. The lack of spine drove me insane. This is not a couple I was rooting for and I’m confused as to why they even ended up together. Fuck this. There was potential but the author just screwed it all to hell with whatever the FUCK this shit was. I’m so pissed off rn…

Este manwha empieza como un BL oscuro y tóxico más… y termina convirtiéndose en una tragedia romántica obsesiva que honestamente te destruye emocionalmente.
Into the Rose Garden no es una historia fácil de leer. Y tampoco intenta serlo. Desde el inicio deja claro que esto no va de una relación sana, sino de dos personas consumidas por el amor, la culpa, la obsesión y el arrepentimiento 😭✨.
Aeroc y Kloff son literalmente el definition de “right person, wrong timeline”. Porque cada vez que parece que finalmente van a entenderse… alguien arruina todo. Y normalmente son ellos mismos.
La primera temporada es brutal 💀. No en el sentido “edgy” de shock barato, sino porque realmente se siente miserable ver cómo ambos se destruyen mutuamente. Aeroc comete un error horrible llevado por los celos, Kloff responde con una venganza igual de cruel, y desde ahí la historia entra en un espiral de sufrimiento donde nadie gana. Absolutamente nadie.
Y lo peor es que el manwha logra que entiendas a ambos 😭.
No justificarlos. Entenderlos.
Aeroc es desesperante porque ama de una forma obsesiva y egoísta, pero al mismo tiempo termina pagando un precio tan cruel que llega un punto donde simplemente da pena verlo existir. Y Kloff… dios mío, Kloff 😭. Su forma de amar es rarísima. A veces parece que lo odia, otras veces parece que lo ama demasiado y no sabe qué hacer con eso. Hay momentos donde genuinamente da miedo y otros donde solo parece un hombre destruido emocionalmente.
Lo más interesante de la historia es cómo juega con las líneas temporales y las segundas oportunidades 🌹. Lo que pudo haber sido. Lo que debieron hacer diferente. Lo que pasa cuando dos personas se aman, pero ya se hicieron demasiado daño. Y honestamente, ahí es donde el manwha deja de sentirse como un BL tóxico cualquiera y empieza a sentirse mucho más melancólico y psicológico.
Porque sí, técnicamente hay una “segunda oportunidad”, pero la historia nunca deja que olvides el dolor de la primera timeline 😭. Esa tragedia sigue persiguiendo a los personajes incluso cuando las cosas mejoran. Y eso le da muchísimo peso emocional a toda la obra.
Visualmente también es precioso ✨. El arte hace que TODO se vea más doloroso todavía: las miradas, el desgaste físico de Aeroc, la tensión entre ambos, los silencios… hay escenas que parecen literalmente pinturas tristes.
Eso sí: definitivamente no es una historia para cualquiera ⚠️.
Hay abuso, violencia, relaciones tóxicas, dinámicas de poder horribles y muchísimo sufrimiento emocional. Si alguien entra esperando un romance green flag porque vio flores bonitas en la portada… buena suerte 💀.
Y aun así, lo más loco es que termina siendo increíblemente romántico. No romántico de “pareja sana y comunicación”, sino romántico en ese sentido trágico y fatalista de “aunque destruyamos nuestras vidas, seguimos encontrándonos una y otra vez”.
En general, Into the Rose Garden se siente como leer una historia de amor condenada desde el inicio 🌹. Dolorosa, obsesiva, incómoda y muy emocional. No siempre perfecta, no siempre fácil de justificar, pero sí extremadamente difícil de olvidar.
Y honestamente… después de terminarla quedas con esa sensación rara de:
“esto estuvo horrible… pero necesito seguir pensando en ellos.” 😭

El verdadero enemies to lovers.
“I fell in love with you at first sight.”
“You’re crazy.”
Esto tiene tantas vueltas que bien podría ser Aerok dirigiéndose a Klopp o viceversa.
El primer volumen es mi favorito. Los malentendidos, los celos, el remordimiento, la venganza, el sufrimiento; lo he leído tantas veces y no me canso. Tal vez si hubieran dejado su orgullo de lado, la historia hubiera sido diferente. O tal vez tampoco habría bastado. Quizá el dolor era necesario para sellar el destino de ambos.
El segundo y tercer volumen se supone que vendrían a cerrar la historia principal, pero no podría dejar de lado al quinto. Ojalá adapten la redención de Klopp al manhwa, no me importa esperar a una cuarta temporada o side story. Me encantó leer las decisiones que tomaron cuando tuvieron una segunda oportunidad y como, aun cuando nada había ocurrido, siguieron cargando con la culpa de sus propios pecados.
Si tuviera que ponerle un "pero", sería el side story del hijo mayor. La verdad es que no soy fan de las "familias tradicionales", me aburre fingir interes por los hijos de los protagonistas (sea la historia que sea), sobre todo si no son más que un "fruto de su amor" o un clon en miniatura que no tienen personalidad propia.

(4.5⭐) 이것은 모든 사람을위한 소설이 아닙니다. 어떤 점에서는 현실적이고 잔인하므로 이 주제 팁이 마음에 들지 않으면 읽지 마십시오.
나는 저자가 타임 라인을 사용하고 구멍을 고정하고 아무것도 남기지 않는 방식을 좋아합니다.
두 주인공 모두 좋은 전개를 가지고 있어 스토리가 더욱 풍부해집니다. 첫 번째 삶에서 나는 분노와 내 마음에 구멍을 느꼈지만, 에이록에게 완전히 공감할 수는 없었지만 다음 삶이 일어나고, 각 챕터와 각 캐릭터 성장에 따라 내 감정이 바뀝니다.
(4.5⭐) This is not a novel for everyone. Is realistic and cruel at some points so if you are not ok with this tipe of topics pleas do not read it.
I like the way the author uses the time lines and fixed the holes and did not let anything left.
Both main character has a good development and that makes more rich the story. With the first life I felt anger and a hole in my heart but even though I couldn't quite sympathize with Arok then the next life happens and my feelings change with each chapter and each character development.

I don't even know what to rate it. It's just depressing and full of trauma and a need for trigger warnings anytime any character is shown. When I say it's ruined my day, I mean it. Also, fuck Kroff - which is saying something because Aeroc also does some fucked up shit but, despite being a means to a murder, he feels safer than Kroff. Man, I hate him so much. Even reading through these 'What if' events are not helping with his image. He's just worse than a piece of shit.
Anyway, I think the author just wanted to write some trauma dump story because when I say there is not a single good thing that happens, there is none. You think Aeroc has suffered enough but no, the author was on a mission to find new and interesting ways to do it.
Aeroc didn't even have a good death. He was tormented after. His whole life after meeting that piece of shit is just suffering and more suffering.

Es una lectura específica para un nicho específico. Y como soy de ese nicho, lo he disfrutado (sufrí como una hija de mil)
Cuando pasas por tanto dolor es cierto que se nubla el juicio. Por supuesto que Aerok cometió un error. No midió las posibilidades de sus acciones. Dicho esto, es imposible no amarlo y sufrir con él. Si eres sensible al contenido fuerte, no te va el angst, bueno, no lo leas. Pero si te gusta llorar, amar y desear profundamente la muerte de un top, uff. Este es tu lugar. Klopp sera por siempre el alfa que más odiare en mi vida. Nada a posterior me ha hecho dejar de odiarlo.
Se volvió mi Omegaverze favorito, tanto la adaptación a Manwha como el libro😭
El solo hecho de recordar el inicio de la historia me sigue causando dolor en el estómago

Una de las cosas que menos me gustó es que quedarán juntos en la segunda vida ¿Are you ok?
Ambos personajes son tóxicos por igual, no hay nadie a quien defender. Arok comete un delito por celos y obsesión, y Klopp hace lo mismo disfrazandolo de "venganza".
Lo malo (y un desperdicio de historia y de tiempo) es que en la segunda vida son igual de tóxicos, en especial Klopp.
Sin embargo, he de admitir que no podía parar de leerlo, está muy bien escrito y la trama hubiese podido engancharme si no fuera por ese horrible final de la segunda vida.

La historia me mareó un poco con eso de qué era pasado y qué era presente. Si no hubiera leído el manhwa creo que estaría peor. Tal vez tenga que ver con la traducción, que no fue la mejor, aun así te deja curioso por lo que va a pasar. El final no fue lo que esperaba y no sé si en la segunda línea temporal se va a tomar en serio el pasado, eso deja un hueco medio raro. (escuché que hay una tercera linea temporal, pero no logro encontrar esa parte, asi que es todo por ahora)
Fue una lectura que hice por curiosidad que por otra cosa, me encariñé mucho con Arok, el real pretty privilege.

The main aspect of this novel for me was how twisted both the characters were on a psychological level. It's a plot where your own morals may come into play as you make your judgment on them.
The author made a great job by turning a killer into a martyr, yes..you get lost along the lines and for a moment you forget what he did. I dont think the other volumes were needed with the "WHAT IF I could change... I got bored

Fue demasiado triste, quisiera borrarme la memoria, olvidar cada volumen y no volver a cruzarme con ella de nuevo. Me dolió demasiado todo lo que pasó el protagonista.

Para mi uno de los puntos importantes de esta novela fueron los matices que se manejaron con los protagonistas, por que al final de cuentas ambos hicieron cosas realmente retorcidas.

Como esperaba, el problema es klopp, solo la segunda vida, donde Arok era quien recordaba, fue la mejor de todas, la primera, tercera y el extra tiene mucho drama y dejan un gusto terriblemente amargo.
Marta es un personaje totalmente desgastante, en ninguna vida me cayó bien, no le llega ni a los talones a Hugo (god). Ojalá Arok la hubiera despedido en la segunda vida.
