Also lmao everyone just died for no reasons in this novel. I'm done. Like at least give it a decent reason why this chara have to die etc etc but their deaths often don't make sense or contribute anything whatsoever to the plot then suddenly boom romance.

when ML learned that MCs mom was forcibly marked and she had to destroy her glands to escape the lunatic

1. MCs mom was kidnapped by a lunatic scientist (she was already pregnant with the emprors child thats our MC) and was tortured

2. She didnt reveal about MCs dad until her death she only left a chess piece which was given as gift by emperor

3. Emperor didnt marry another queen, the queen mentioned by netizens is from side branch 🤔or his bros wife not sure (i forgot read long back lol) emperor loves only his 1st love and never married

4. MC got his powers from his mom that lunatic scientist ythoight MC was his son lol but hes not and one of his hinch man wanted to use MC as test subj which was discovered by ML and killed those henchman and forcibly sealed of his (ml) memory so as not to hurt MC but he falls in love with MC even without his memory so sweet

5. The main villain is that scientist he fused zerg genes into himself which made him crazy and do all those stuff

MC is surprisingly the emperor's child

the king was the sadest for me tho, just kept me weeping

and successfully makes me forever upset with the certain extras of alphaxalpha (not main characters/cp).

I want to cry so bad and felt like punching the author for this. Why so cruel to us, author ?? Too Bitter!!! To painful!!!

So many things were revealed in 5 chapters. Chapter 113-117 felt so incredibly rushed and fast for absolutely no reason, they could've easily been stretched to another 10-20 chapters to match the pacing of the rest of the novel (which, again, is not everyone's cup of tea given how excruciatingly slow it is). I'll just give a list of just how much was revealed in those few chapters and I'll try my best to describe things as vaguely as I can. The details will be marked under more spoiler tags.

• Basically, a lot of info was dumped all at once. All of this in ~10 chapters with barely any foreshadowing

The extras are cute but the purpose they served was not proportional to how long they took to get through, which is a bit of a conflicting narrative to what I've expressed in the rest of this review, I admit. The extra of

and the parallel world stuff about our main CP was kinda cute but felt more like bittersweet "what-ifs" that we could've done without. Those chapters didn't necessarily enrich the lore or romance or character relationships, they just kinda seemed like a last minute effort to include some more details and give the author something different to write about.

The chapters about

Characters - 4.5/5 I loved everything about this novel BUT the climax. That includes the characters. Sure, Ji Meng could've used a longer introduction and fleshing out of his character to

, and sure, some people may see our main character and the main lead as bland and emotionally stunted (which I agree with, except for the bland part, but I like em that way) but they were pretty fun to read about anyway. I liked seeing our CP navigate through not knowing what to do in this new, romantic territory they've just found. It was sweet and entertaining.

Unfortunately, all that seemed to be defenestrated as soon as the author focused on rushing through the climax. Yes, I like talking about it a lot. But that's only because I'm so disappointed.

For example, I liked how, in chapter 113, the ML essentially did something wrong that led to Lin Han (MC) crying. They reconciled quickly after the ML decided to finally try "opening his heart" and I was looking forward to more chapters like that. Did I get any more like that? Nope. Mind you, their (the main CP) relationship was already nice and developed, I just wanted more because 113 made me feel like there was more to explore between them. Maybe the ML would get another few moments of self-reflection in how his actions to protect Lin Han end up hurting him instead. But no, it just ended very soon after that and the parallel world stuff.

Granted, there are a few occasions where he very briefly feels guilty, but he continues to do it more and more as the story progresses. There are even moments where he reads the ML's thoughts and becomes angry because it's not what he wants to hear, despite the fact that he's wrong for invading the ML's privacy in the first place. So the ML ends up apologising without even understanding why the MC is angry.

For me, this really didn't sit right. I was hoping his ability would be used primarily for assisting in digging out the bad guys, (which he does to some extent) or, I could even understand it if he was doing it to try and assist the ML, but he does it multiple times because of his own curiosity and personal interest. This is just my personal opinion on it though. There are other things that I didn't like about him, but that has been mentioned in other reviews so I won't repeat it.

For example, they've both just barely survived a big battle that could have cost them both of their lives (which in itself has major plot holes as mentioned in another review) but instead of worrying about the comrades and subordinates he has left behind (despite the fact that ML only just lost a subordinate and blamed himself deeply) one of his first thoughts is once again how beautiful the MC is.

ML has previously been targeted for assassination and is aware that he should be on guard against omegas with scars on the back of their neck. Yet somehow MC spots one that is casually moving around the battleship, which low and behold, later appears to try and kill the ML. Are there not security checks on the ship? Why did MC not look into it despite knowing something wasn't right? Why has ML not taken any measures despite knowing someone is out for his life?

Another example is the ML asking the MC to ride in his mecha with him into a very dangerous battle, where they'll be outnumbered against multiple enemies and potentially stranded afterwards, instead of having the MC stay on the battleship that would be retreating. How is that safer?! Of course at this point I could already guess that there would be a "oh no I'm in heat" situation where they'd both be stranded together and MC would be marked or other such stuff. Again, this is just my personal opinion but instead of it feeling romantic it felt terribly predicable and frustrating.

(yes even the character death of Ji Meng was supposed to elicit strong emotions from the readers but all I got was wow anyways.)
