After Rebirth, I Became the Scum Gong’s Uncle’s Destined Omega

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In his past life, the beta Su Liang dared to seduce Lu Zhizhao, the future of the Lu family, and eloped.

In the end, after burning down all his boats with no hesitation, Su Liang realized that he was nothing but a big joke.

Su Liang gave up everything, and died silently on the day after Lu Zhizhao’s marriage to someone else.

Reliving a life, the courageous fool of that year finally learned to accept his fate.

This time, Su Liang honestly accepted that he was an unfavoured and mediocre beta, feeling that this bland and undemanding life was quite good.

After all, the way of the salted fish is the best way.

But after just a few peaceful days, he was sent into the forbidden area, in the depths of the noble’s compound.

Lu Taipan – who used to be a big boss, is now a big boss, who will always be the kind of sinister and ruthless big boss who would make everyone tremble with fear when he comes out.

However, it was this top-level alpha who single-handedly supported the Lu Family, but suffered from pheromone disorder.

And, the place where he rested, was a forbidden place in the eyes of everyone.

No matter how many things Su Liang thought about, he didn’t expect Lu Taipan to embrace him in the frenzy of his pheromone disorder.

Then, he bit the back of his neck with a single bite.

“Your pheromones…. smells good.”

The devil-like man, like a beast, scented the pheromones on his body, and muttered greedily.

Su Liang was horrified to discover that Lu Taipan and him became more and more intimate. He, who was supposed to be a beta, somehow began to develop unusual pheromone glands.

From a beta, he was now an omega.

Moreover, he was an omega who matched perfectly with Lu Taipan.

The story is good!!!

However, it I very clear that the author either is not really mature person when it comes to emotional and societal skill, or he/she/they failed to their understanding come across clearly.

Sounds a bit like the "Child of negletful parents marry a neglectful husband, suffers and end up finding happiness when he/she finds a new husband that can properly fulfi the fatherly needs that were bleeding before" route.

... more>> Daddy issues to the max!

The "scum" gong is not scum because he turned into a crazy person, or because of miscommunication. He is scum because he is negletful. He knew about all the types of abuse going on and never truly made an effort to stop it. Some people wrote here about him being powerless. Yes, he is most of the time. But the author also made it clear that even when he could have protected the shou, he promised to do so and never did.

Spoiler

Every single act of the Ning ômega are prime examples. The broken doll is the breaking point, but it is clear that it was routine. The scum wasn’t dumb. He saw the abuse and chose to ignore it because it was more beneficial to him. Thats why he is always talking about how MC should forgive the Ning omega every single time MC is the victim. The fact that he picked up fight after fight to protect the ômega, but in both lifes didn’t even got closer to analyse the MC bruises when a gang of alphas almost killed him? I rest my case.

[collapse]

A lot of people doesn't understand that neglect is form of abuse because the ofender usually feel powerless and genuinely loves the victim. However, they chose to live in denial because fighting to protect the other is way harder than convincing yourself that there's nothing wrong. The Scum saw it all. He saw his family attack his lover. He saw his fiancé attack his lover. But he chose the easy route over and over because he was sure that MC would never leave him.

He only changed when he noticed that it wasn’t true.

The ML is cute and all, but I was screaming in therapy session language. He is the daddy issues fantasy through and through. He is soft and caring with his baby (MC), but OP to the max. Which of absent or neglectful parents never wished for a sperhero father that was rich, caring, and who can protect him for the world? The ML is the solution for all the MC's pain because he is the answer for this wish

It also means that the author gave the ML too much power and buff. The ML exists to heal the MC and nothing else, that’s why he is so easy to love. He is a fantasy from start to finish andvif you wish a tridimensional character with good development? Nah. Forget it. This book requires a smooth brain só you can delude youserlf into thinking is more than it is.

Yet, the characters are lovely. Stewart and the Vipers made me cackle a lot. There are some random cannon fodders, so there's no need to remember their names.

The premise is intersting. The execution could improve. But it is and overall good read. <<less

Pretty good read actually. The plot itself is quite interesting and the MC and ML do love each other and have some respect for each other. The extras are cute! (Except the 1st one that is).

It's just that I can't really agree on the author stamping the ex as a scum gong. The ex was really just there as a comparison and contrast to ML, to highlight how capable and good ML is. The ex really wasn't a scum, at least not at first before the blackening and going crazy.... more>> He was really sincere to MC and he was willing to go through hardship for him. It was just that he was a naive young fool and got tricked instead because of the environment they are in. Honestly the real villain here is the white lotus and Lu/Ning family. MC's and his relationship was a tragedy because of the intervention of the Lu and Ning family.
Spoiler

(at least without of those corrupt b*tches the MC and ML would have been happily married with each other, at least if MC didn't realize he didn't "love" the ex. In fact I think the author making MC never love the ex is quite abrupt. I mean it kinda make sense but I smell that the author just want to cater to the "you are actually my first love" trope and make it easier to stomp on the ex, all just my opinion though)

[collapse]

The ex's journey is actually more complex than the ML. His blackened self is, in fact, quite similar to an archetype blackened CN protagonist. Really he could have his own story as an MC and the story would not be much different from most novels with the same blackened MC trope
Spoiler

rebirthed blackened MC who had been tricked all his life and had the love of his life suffer trying to win back his love and get his life on track.

[collapse]

It was just that in the later part of the story the author inserted scum gong qualities (delusional, etc) to him, quite forcefully I think, and purposely make everyone hate him for something he shouldn't be faulted on. It was like the author is dead set on setting even the young naive him as the villain even if it contradicts his initial character (even the ML has stated that the unblackened ex was actually not a bad person in early chapters). People was made to believe that this guy is evil inside out and nothing he does is ever good. He is a different kind of tragedy and honestly I am kinda sad for him.

Spoiler

Like, what's up with the author suddenly blaming him for stepping on 2 boats??? He has stated since the start that he never thought of white lotus that way and has repeatedly been confirmed in the novel, yet somehow the author keep making every single character never believe they are never entangled that way. He really thought white lotus was his chilhood friend, even considered a best friend, who is kind and considerate, he wouldn't have thought that bit*h wanted to harm anyone, not just because of his naivety but also immaturity. He didn't even understand that his insistence to be with his beloved would bring him danger.

I also couldn't accept blaming him for marking white lotus and the pregnancy. It was r*pe but the author make people scoff at him like an irresponsible scum who would throw things once he got what he want. He f*cking wasn't. Hell I know there are a lot of novels out there portraying such a scenario happening to the main character that made the MC hate the rapist and make the bit*h suffer. So why is it that the author feels like it is very convenient to put the blame on the victim instead? Honestly he deserve more of an ending.

Even then, I don't think the ex's obsession is out of place, because man that guy has gone through shit. It doesn't justify what he has done after blackening, but simply stamping him as scum through and through is quite unfair.

As other commenter has said, ML won because he is an adult. A very powerful one with freaking high status at that, who the MC just happens to fall for. He was already a full power OP character, even with the "madness", while the ex was just a kid with minimal influence who is used as a tool by his father. Unsurprisingly ML won because he was able to make MC feel secure and safe from the Lus and Nings while the ex didn't have the means to do so.

Also, what happened to other villains like the Lus, why are they not mentioned later as if every single thing that happened in the novel is the fault of the 2 biggest villains which include the ex, like nah other villains except these 2 I determined as the biggest villains are irrelevant. The ex really got a huge pot out of nowhere, even taking his father's. I just think the author dumps everything on him because it is convenient.

it's alright. Sometimes it gets long-winded (the usual repetitive descriptions of beautiful appearances, intimidating aura, etc. Etc.). I kinda (kinda because he later assaulted MC several times) pity the scum gong;

... more>>
Spoiler

in the first life, scum gong eloped with MC. Their assets were frozen and they were repeatedly forced to move houses and couldn't get decent jobs because scum gong's family blocked them. Later, MC got really sick and needed medcare. The gong finally gave up; he went back to negotiate things with his family and fiancé's family. He was really idiotic, not having any suspicions that his family and fiancé weren't being honest and instead sabotaging his relationship with MC (intercepting his calls and faking mc's voice to make him believe that MC was fine). His family ofc didn't let him go back to MC. His fiancé proposed to him that as long as they got married, gave birth to an heir, he could go back and live together with MC. But MC died two days after his wedding. He went mad and did researches to revive MC. ML finally stopped him.

in this second life, his memories kept flickering between his first and second life and his mental conciousness suffered. MC later admitted that he wasn't actually in love with this scum gong. He (SG) was also drugged and r*ped by his fiancé. The drug was undetectable, so people kept jeering at him; no one believed him when he said he was drugged and thinking he was just the typical irresponsible scum alpha. His fiancé's gland was stolen from a girl who could've had a high matching rate with him.

dude had a really rough life; I would've jumped off a building once I knew I was made fun of after getting r*ped by my childhood friend. But he persevered until the end by sheer madness and his obssession with MC. He really lost his sanity by the end of the story. Such a pity.

+MC and ml's love, compared to mc's and his ex was like heaven and hell, but the effortlessness and inevitability of mc+ml's love story only made me want to roll my eyes so hard.

[collapse]

lowered my rating to 2 because I can't stand the sanctimonious characters (including mc+ml) getting off scot-free blaming a r*pe victim lollll <<less

hi!!! im the translator here. I absolutely love love love this novel and want to share it with everyone!!!!

You read the synopsis and think, wow, this is one of those cliche omegaverse novels where MC is a beta that turned into omega because omg fateee which is true but also; no!!!

As one of the lovely reviewers here said, the "scum gong" isn't really a scum gong. In a kinder world, this would have been a love story where su liang and lu zhizhao find ways to reconcile and trample those... more>> who wronged them, but this isn't a world like that. I absolutely love the characters in this novel; su liang, the beta who foolishly chased after a highly sought after alpha; lu zhizhao, the alpha who tried and constantly fails; ning jiayi, the omega who has everything and yet nothing at all.

I wish for everyone to not be prejudiced against lu zhizhao because of the first few chapters! You've only seen the past from su liang's pov, but what about lu zhizhao's? There's always 2 sides to the same coin. I hope everyone enjoys this story as much as I did! <<less

It's a nice read of my favorites cliches. But the so called scum gong lessened the sweetness.

... more>>
Spoiler

He have the typical scum gong settings wherein he have a sweetheart but also very caring towards his white lotus/green tea btch childhood friend.

But as I read on, I don't find him as hypothetically as the scum gongs. No, I feel more like he's a victim. A very very sad victim. Everyone pointed at him as a scum gong on the outside, but seeing how he was driven mad by everyone, I don't feel like he is a scum gong.

He's just really really naive. So naive that it seems it's a sin. Especially so in the family he was born into. I would usually rage at scum gongs who couldn't put a clear line towards the bff but in here, I feel like he actually put a clear line but it's just that everyone is lying to him and pressuring him.

I feel so bad for him, I kinda hope the author at least let him go. But no, he have the worst ending. Not even that green tea btch ending was shown clearly. Heck, there's no word about his father. I really sheds tears for him as he slowly lost his mind.

He's so hopeless, everyone is using him, lying to him, and manipulating him. When MC said he just kept blaming everyone, I actually feel that he have the right to do so. Usually, I would feel disgusted with such scumbag, but I just felt my heart aches as no one believes him nor taking his side.

In the previous life, when they run away, unlike other gongs, he didn't chicken out. When he realized the hard life of a normal person, he stayed. When MC can't be intimate with him due to having allergic reaction to his pheromones, he still stayed. Even when he guy his rut and can't be appeased by MC, he just apologize for not being able to control himself. The only reason he run back was because MC vomited blood and got sick. In hope that he could have a stable environment to heal, he only then returned.

Seriously, I felt like their love was very very sincere. Even thru hardship, even when they're very incompatible in everything and even without pheromones, I feel like in the previous timeline, they're very much in love. It's like they're star crossed lovers. But unlike in other stories, they end up very tragically.

So seeing how very 'destined' MC and ML, I don't feel very sweet. Rather, I feel that it's so convenient for ML.

I also cannot accept how MC denied his 'love' with the ex. After all, in his whole life, MC's probably the only one who had love him.

I was hoping someone would save him. I rather he didn't remember and slowly move on. All those that pushed him into a desperate state got away while he'll suffer for the rest of his life.

He's just a really sincere guy mistakenly born in a very carnivorous family and eventually driven mad by them. For me, the ML won over him because ML is an adult, and he is just a kid whose life is controlled by others.

I MTLed this novel and rate it 3 stars.

About the story

MC is a beta who has lived a tragic life where he was betrayed by his lover and died from a terminal illness. In his new life, he changes his life trajectory in the hopes of freeing himself from his past. This novel is psychological and includes topics of gender bias and heavy themes on omegaverse physiology.

... more>> About the world building

There's not a lot to this interstellar novel and it seems parts of the past or ancient past only crop up a line here and there to carry the plot forward. Most of the novel focuses solely on ML trying to woo MC. The interstellar theme with hints of ancient history is nothing but a pale backdrop to the relationship plot between MC and ML.

About MC

MC lives with the pain and trauma of his past life and wants to move on from the alpha he loved before. In his previous life, he was kind, calm and tolerant to everything his alpha did and tried his best to be there for him but it all ended horribly. In his new life he's very timid and careful in his interactions with the ML because he's afraid of love and afraid of ending up in the same way as before. His character development arc is to slowly leave his shell and come to love the ML.

About the ML

The ML is very powerful in his presence but is mostly described as oscillating between gentle and obsessive madness. His desire for MC is driven by himself and MC's physiological transformation into an omega. He is not very fleshed out as a character compared to MC.

About the MC's previous love (Minor spoilers)

He was a very naive man who was deceived again and again and I know some reviewers felt empathy for him because of that. I think for someone who could not see clearly the people around him, especially his fiance's actions against MC, he was doomed to not be able to have a good ending with MC. I don't think he ever loved MC but really was in love with the very idea of love itself. And when things didn't follow his naive and pure idealized vision, it tore him up and changed him completely. The author did a good job describing him through the twists and turns of his psyche. I pity him for being so blind but also truly think the one he loved the most was himself. No one who truly loves another would do what he did. About the relationship and why it's not that great (Minor spoilers)

This novel delves heavily in the instinctive side of omegaverse which means the pheromones and physiology play a big role in the story to push the plot forward as well as MC and ML's relationship. While I can't imagine what it would be like to have your body connect to someone before your heart is even ready, there is definitely a very explored part of this relationship that delves into the wordless connection between MC and ML. This is a very interesting concept but unfortunately, author did not add in emotional development and growth for the relationship. It's very sparse compared to MC and ML's physical reactions towards each other. While I felt the madness and obsession from ML was well portrayed, the emotional connection was not there for a significant portion of the novel. If the author had spent time to flesh these parts out, this would have been a much more interesting novel. If you are thinking this novel will be fluffy and sweet, look elsewhere. This is a very awkward romance with intimacy that is sometimes uncomfortable to read. It's just not really romantic and feels more like two people driven by impulses rather than emotions which granted matches the theme of omegaverse but leaves the emotional aspect missing a lot by comparison.

TL:DR

Read it if you want a psychological novel that focuses on MC taking a long time to get out of his shell and a very awkward relationship with the ML from start to finish. There are good emotional parts and villains getting their just desserts but those are few and far in between. Interesting story and idea but my preference is to have more emotional connection. <<less

I love this novel. It contains some of my favourites and blended them to create this wonderful story.

I like that the MC was not hurt. Usually, the protagonists were hurt by their enemies. I also liked how their relationship progressed and how doting/possessive the ML. I just have a few dissatisfactions.

Spoiler

Why did the author not elaborate more on their future together? They only mention tiny tidbits of the future.

They also didn't explain the flower clearly.

It's been a while since I read this BUT I loved this novel.

The MC takes a while before he slowly starts becoming an omega, so it isn't the usual 'turns into omega' that sparks the plot. Because he spends more time with the ML he begins to become compatible with him. Plus the MC is understandably wary of everyone since he was lied to and betrayed in his first life. He tries to survive and get away from the fiance who betrayed him. The ML is nice and takes him... more>> into shelter but MC was scared shitless because it felt like a death flag with the ML's reputation. I can't blame him lol

also the plot twist of who the antagonist was incredible.

Why? MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

Spoiler

The real villain for this novel is not the scum family but the scum gong himself. Yes the family was scum for making the scum gong think that he was gonna get the MC back after throwing MC into the slums to perish. The story later shows scum gong finding the dead MC's body in the slums and he went insane. He went so insane he started trying to revive the MC to bring him back. By this point it's clear his love for MC becomes warped and even worse than the usual scum gong. He destroys the world in the process and proceeds to crawl over into the timeline where MC rebirthed. Scum gong gets memories of this scum gong and eventually loses his own sense of self that he goes insane. He kidnaps the MC and the couple has to fight him for their happy ending. The scum gong is Hella Yandere I tell ya! Even in the new timeline and seeing them together it feels like the scum gong was harbouring a weak puppy love/possessive love that went insane after he realised he sold the love of his life for nothing. He went back to get married for nothing since his lover died without him knowing. He was utterly useless and could not even keep the promise. The poor guy is also a product of the sh*t family so can't feel bad for him. Just smh...

I feel really annoyed about the 'Scum' Gong. He is not scum. He is naive and not powerful enough to win against his horrible manipulative family and fiance. And he is not a cheater. He is forced into a relationship with someone else in both lifetimes. I guess when gongs are naive, too weak to protect themselves/others and are r*ped they are horrible terrible scum that deserves an even worse ending than rapists and mu*derers. He also turns villainous by making him go crazy because of his genes, too bad... more>> he doesn't get a predestined love like the ML did to stop him from going insane and committing crimes.

It is too bad, if it wasn't for this I would have loved the story, but I just couldn't swallow the injustice of the author. If the ex-boyfriend of the MC had never remembered his past (to make him go insane again-one time wasn't enough) he could have had a happy ending with someone else than that toxic fiance of his or that past-life boyfriend who didn't even love him but wanted to prove to himself that as a beta he is good enough for an Alpha. Maybe his own uncle could have found a heart and helped him fight against his family like he later helped out the MC. Unfortunately the ML never finds it in himself to treat his nephew like family since he hates the father. <<less

I am so disgusted. I read the tags but I still had physiological reactions to this, crying & vomiting.

I wanted to drop this so many times because:

    • World building was weak
    • the description of the ML made him appear as an inhumane cyborg in my mind.
    • The biggest villain is the most disgusting scum I've ever read in my entire life. Unfortunately, he appeared so many times in the story.
    • There was no satisfaction in the scum's rebirth because he never recognizes what he did wrong to regret it. This isn't a revenge story. His rebirth only empowers him in his delusions to hurt the MC in the name of love.
    • This scum was still s*upid enough to be used in 2 lifetimes
*I had to mtl this

*The tags couldn't prepare me for the mess in the second half of the book. If you cant stomach it, spare yourself.

Spoiler

*Tags should include organ farming, attempted r*pe (forceful marking TWICE), tragedy, BE (in my opinion)

*To be fair, tags have human experimentation. But y'all. I wasn't ready.

I'll start by saying ML's identity as the scum gong's uncle is not the face-slapping part and it is not as significant even though it was the selling point in the title.

The first 3/4 of this novel is focused on the lead's romance development and the MC's transition to an Omega with some plot and action in the latter 1/4. I found the gland transplant plotline interesting and really would've liked it if it was woven throughout the story instead of it just popping up at the end.

I liked how... more>> the MC didn't just transition in the span of one day but when through a gradual process. Later, it'll be revealed that the MC is not purely an Omega but-

Spoiler

A Sigma (?). It was written as Siga in the raws but it's basically a very high leveled Omega.

[collapse]

There is a whole explanation about the history of MC's gender. I think it is also to emphasize how the MC and ML are destined lovers which, I appreciate the effort but don't I find it as important as how much the author elaborated on it.

Something that made me like this novel a lot is the background setting of the Snake Den and the Vipers. The ML is the master of the Snake Den and the Vipers are the soldiers in the Snake Den. A group of elite soldiers that have a deadly and cold reputation but are actually protective and tight-knit on the inside. The descriptions used for the ML are mostly chilling and monstrous but there is just something wickedly captivating when mixed with his usage of a muzzle and mechanical spine. The contrast between his abstinent personality and weapon-like setting hit many spots for me. 😂 Also, the ML has long hair and a snake tattoo which adds extra flavor. The Snake Den is already enough to fascinate me so the lack of world-building didn't bother me much.

Hence I was a bit disappointed when the ML became... a bit too doting? Like the kind of generic doting where they'll listen to their "wife" but not to the point where his personality changed 180. I do like how straightforward the ML is with his liking and desires. As per ABO novels, Alphas are all obsessed 😂 so expect many scenes depicting ML's obsession over the MC. At least for me, I liked ML's struggles to restrain his uncontainable possessiveness despite his supposed unemotional personality. He doesn't hide his emotions from the MC and is honest in letting the MC know his affection and possessiveness. I would like to see it as him giving the MC a heads-up because the MC on the other hand is quite irresolute.

I understand the MC's indecisiveness towards the ML because he didn't end well with the Alpha (scum gong) in his past life so he doesn't want to make the same mistake again. However, he still hasn't got his feelings sorted out even after doing so much with the ML. I couldn't stand it when it always feels like he is so afraid of the ML as if he is not a willing party which made the ML look pushy. As the Viper's doctor has said, Alphas are like dogs so if the MC was firmer and practice what he preach, the ML would've obeyed. MC's words and actions are overly contradictory. Also, his constant blushing was a bit too much it's not like he have never dated before.

The MC seemed promising in the initial chapters but his emotional and character development was very weak and disappointing. It's a shame the author seem to forget about MC's rebirth and wrote like MC was still a pure college student. It's as if all the life lessons he learnt from his past life were forgotten after rebirth. Even though he was supposed to have matured after going through everything in his past life. In truth, MC's mental age shouldn't be too far off from ML's.

As for the scum gong, I also initially think he wasn't unredeemable but he went overboard with his actions later. As the readers get to know his thoughts, he is actually quite selfish and complacent. Sure, his family and fiancée screwed him up but the fact that he married another but still expect the MC to stay with him was selfish. His thinking has never changed from before and after he got his past memories. If he did some introspection, perhaps he wouldn't have gone that far but he chose to push all the blames to everyone but himself.

I don't think the scum gong is any good but I found the Ning family a lot more despicable and would've liked it if the author focused on them instead of condemning the scum gong to death. The conclusion of their family was quite unsatisfying.

There are definitely bits that I didn't like in this novel but I don't think this novel deserved the low rating. It was still better compared to some higher-rated abo novels I've read. Lastly!! The steward is the best side character!! <<less

Omegaverse, interstellar, second chance at life, redo life, older uncle type ML, military ML, tragic past, tragic background, human experimentation, human trafficking, obsessive ML, family schemes, not fluffy

So I was really looking forward to reading this one from it's summary but it wasn't at all how I'd imagined it 😔 It's not warm and fluffy at all. It's not even cute😭 cover is cute tho

There isn't really a snake ML it's more that his spiritual power is shaped like a snake and he has a snake tattoo on his back... more>> that's mentioned like once. Plus it's his military codename? And the place he lives is an island called the snake cave because the throne or leader's living area is underground like a snake's habitat. Plus they are called viper soldiers. So no it's not an animal transformation or animal characteristics type novel though the ML is often described as being similar to a snake 🐍 because of his cold aura and the MC Is often described as a kitten (originally stray cat) by the ML🐱

I'm so glad the MC got to redo his life but the relationship between the ML and MC can be really wrong at times. At the end the MC even admits that he'll allow the ML to lock him up as long as they can be together. From a psychological point of view their relationship is not healthy at all. And I'm the type to usually like the obsessive ML. Maybe it was the double anxiety from the crazy ex who has a pe*verted obsession with the MC + the MLs obsession= it being too much when binge reading it. I think even the author realized this because of the new bite muzzle thing the ML started wearing later that needed the MCs permission or a codeword to remove which to me sounds like the equivalent of a safe word in bd*m🤔🤣

There are so many things in this novel that is just too much and I'm a person who likes the darker side of things
Spoiler

human experimentation during which organs and useful parts are removed and the corpses are turned into nutritional potions to feed back into other experiments. "Farming" of human omegas and keeping them alive as birthing machines then killing them when they lose their use as raw materials

It really wasn't worth the time I took to read it. It lack world building, and logical decision ... more>>
Spoiler

the ML is supposed to have killed the enemy's emperor in the enemy's base before the start of the novel. Why didn't they explore, and took/got rid of everything that was in it afterwards ? I don't like this kind of plot hole decision made uniquely to give the new scumbag a base to hide and a horrible weapon developed by the previous enemy

[collapse]
. I feel no chemistry between the two protagonists, and no meaningful conversations. The ML is like 'I want to keep you locked away so I'll be the only one to see you', and the MC is like 'ok, I don't mind.'

And that's all. Nothing else to see... And I agree with previous reviews about the villain. <<less

a 3.7, really good for omegaverse.

i liked the story and the main characters. ill admit that I have nothing but pity for the mc's ex... the author forced him into a villain and blamed him terribly in the first life...i honestly wished he had his happy ending in the second life but poor guy madness took over him.

This was a nice read, it wasn't what I expected since the MC's personality didn't change. He just grew up a bit and experienced more so he did things differently this time.

The ML was adorable, he was this Dark Lord with a mask and everything. The author was open about just wanting to write a short novel with a classic theme. So that was what this was, a kind and sweet MC healing a damaged ML.

There are some dark themes like human trafficking, but everything is pretty much the couple... more>> learning and growing together. It's a rare novel which does that well. <<less

Before being addicted to BL, I am an avid, harlequin romance novel reader.

Upon reading this novel, I am very surprised, its like I am reading a harlequin romance but BL version.

I like the way it is written, maybe its my age but... oh well. I just like this novel, the way it describes things and feelings.

Love the author and translator. 🥰🥰🥰

4.5, rounding to a 5.

It's a very cute story if you're looking for an ABO danmei! But don't expect any real conflict because MC is a super mary sue character and it turns out later that he's actually special. I don't think I was really able to tell how the relationship between him and ML developed? Maybe it was more of an attraction thing at first, but I can definitely see why other readers would be unhappy about their relationship or the world-building (because there wasn't really any).

Also felt so... more>> bad for the scum gong...I've read a lot of scum gong novels, and with what he had done in the past life, he might've gotten a second chance if he were in a different novel, especially because he quickly becomes regretful after MC is gone in their past life. Definitely not as bad as other scum gongs, but his ambiguous relationship with his childhood friend/fiancee made it harder to want redemption for him. <<less

How do I say this... This story is a bit meh for me. There is a lack of world building and a good number of plot holes, a few of which the author seemed to have wanted to patch up through a half-assed explanation that barely had any substance behind it and had me feeling like someone is trying to dupe me.

Spoiler

Such is the case with the Leia flowers. In the beginning it is said that they are easy to raise and thus the MC is tasked to take care of them. Later on they are suddenly so difficult to raise that only the MC is able to grow them properly. And this is supposedly due to his Sigma status which has some history with the Leia people and flower. Frankly, it feels like the author pulled this out of their butt, especially because we don't get any further information pertaining that end.

Then there is the ex bf that dropped from S-level to B-level after being crushed by the ML. It was said to be irreversible. But suddenly, he was back to S-level which was explained later to be due to him taking illegal drugs to re-raise his level. I have the nagging suspicion that the ex being back at S-level was a mistake and the readers pointed that out to the author, forcing the author to come up with that excuse. It felt that half-assed to me.

[collapse]

While reading this I kept feeling that something is not quite right or doesn't match up. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly caused me to feel that way. Maybe it was the already mentioned lack of world building and plot holes or maybe it was the characters' feelings/actions that did not quite make sense to me.

The MC, especially felt a bit out of tune imo. His character felt a bit blurry. While he did not fall into any stereotypical mold which can be considered good, it was also difficult to pinpoint his exact character traits. He is a damsel in distress at times because he is physically weak and has an underprivileged status. But he is mentally strong as he doesn't give up easily even when he is struggling. What gets me, however, is how innocent and naive he can be when he used to be in a relationship in his past life where they did try to get intimate and used to talk and interact with prostit**es in the slums no problem, even acknowledging that he had listened to them talking about debauched topics just fine. How come in this life he is all blushes and acts like a scared rabbit everytime there is some s**ual tension between him and the ML? At times he acts like a sheltered young master who doesn't know much about the world and at other times he is normal and level-headed. He confuses me.

As for the ML... His character seems like a green flag. But when he loses control, his actions are a red flag. He does, however, try to control himself, even going to far as to self harm to keep himself from doing something that could harm the MC. However, his inhibitions are quickly dropped as soon as he gets the go-ahead from the MC and doctor. His cold, abstinent and reserved image was easily discarded to make way for the jealous, barely in control horndog who uses every opportunity to stick close to and take advantage of the MC.

That said, the plot wasn't too original nor too boring. But the author did cut corners. This is especially apparent at the end as it was rushed and kind of abrupt. I did not bother to read the extra chapters as soon as I saw that I was about to read a kindergarten AU. I don't really like AUs or side CP in the extras as I didn't sign up for that when I chose to read the novel based on the summary. <<less

Don't take my 3 star rating as not good review, its just that among many stories I rated 4 stars, it falls behind a lot because I have handfuls of complains that I can't ignore... I love both MC and ML ok but the whole premise of the story just pisses me off...

Like one of the reviewer said, it lacks world building, its doesn't feel engaging at all because I'm having a hard time building the world on my own imagination without the story's assistance. There are a lot of... more>> blank spots that author just left out and didn't bother to explain that makes me too lazy to elaborate each. It started really good ok but as the story goes on it slowly dies plus with the rush ending that didn't made me feel satisfied at all...

The ex? The guy is a total victim but it doesn't mean he can get away with anything, he is a complete idiot that doesn't know how to use his brain at all. He's a shame to all alphas, really. But he could actually have a better ending but author decided to villainize him then made him a madman with no return. He could suffer for all his sins but I can't accept how he shoulders most of the sufferings when the ones who should suffer the most are the Lu and Ning family who doesn't even treat him as a person but as a tool taking advantage of his dumb brain. I kinda feel bad for him before his madness because he could be still a good friend with MC if he only let go his past obsessions but sadly he's s*upid... (I actually agree with stellar_soul's comment about the ex)

About MC... I was actually expecting for more back story about him and if he is connected with the Leias but left unexplained! Gosh what a miss opportunity for more depth!

Didn't even give the extras that could actually fill the story! Like I want to meet their baby and how they are as a parent considering their situation! Xiao Huan and Black Mamba too! There's a foreshadowing between them but it was left out!!! Goodness, author even forgotten about Su Nuan's husband, like what happen to him during the attack? Where is he? And he's even a rare good guy coming from the Lu family! Gosh author even made it like MC has a longing regret about his sister's death in the past life but it didn't even shows... <<less

I love it! I love it so much. The ending was so sweet

tbh I guess in the prev lifetime (looking at it without any hate) I would think that the ex and the MC was a victim of circumstance and they truly did love each other (spoiler) but the ex was so weak and was so incapable of protecting MC. He was easily manipulated, easily tricked, and is so weak that he can't do anything but succumb to the family pressure. But I guess he did truly love MC.

but in... more>> the second lifetime, that regret made him a madman. MC became his white moonlight but he was still the same weak man.

aside from that, I love the MC and ML. I love how they have history together even before MC became an omega. It was kinda slow burn? I guess lmao. But ML was so polite and mature (well there is quite the age gap but it was not mentioned how much) that when he realized he had feelings for MC, he asked (asked!!) to court him. So sweet and so without misunderstandings. Though before that, MC was actually already misunderstanding becoz of past u know.

ALSO MY FAVORITE PART OF ALL is that pheromone dependency is always mentioned. It was one of the tricks used by the wife of the ex to the ex so that he would stay with her/him (not sure). But in the MC and ML case they also had pheromone dependency (it turns out it was normal in couples) but when the MC differentiated it turns out he was more powerful (not just matching but more!!) than the ML. THEREFORE it was the ML who developed the dependency. And it was freaking cute and hilarious how ML uses this excuse just to eat MC's tofu. And MC knows that ML is just pretending but he gets soft and just lets him do what he wants lmao so cute <<less

this entire novel almost feels like it should be the og novel in a transmigration story where the “evil” cannon fodder (who ultimately did no wrong) is able to change their fate. I was pretty excited for this one, and read the first 22 chapters in one go, but for me there was something that didnt match up right so I decided to look at the spoilers and sure enough... more>>
Spoiler

for some reason the “scum” gong in MCs first life had the worst ending despite his only fault being that he was naive.

[collapse]
and after reading so many stories where from the cannon fodders perspective and sympathizing with them, I actually just cannot stomach what happened. Its a shame because I rly do feel that I would have liked it a lot otherwise. 3 stars, and thank you for the wonderful translation! <<less
