Tell me your favorite team of siblings.

These are some of mine. I really love their dynamic with each other.

Starting with Atil and Lyrica, their sibling relationship is so sweet and Atil constantly teasing Lyrica acting like the big brother is often so funny.

Penelope and Reynold are one of my favorites. I must say once upon a time I hated Reynold but his growing bond with Penelope really captured my heart.

I relate like the dynamic between Max and his sister, Claude and Anastasius as well as Callisto and Dayna from saving my sweetheart, they are really hilarious.

On another note I am still mourning Enzo T–T, Ceaser trash should've died, not him

Well telling my opinion on reach of these siblings will take days. So just tell your favorite manhwa siblings instead (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)⁠—⁠☆❤️

I think this is one of the funniest and most frustrating novels I have ever read. Never in my life had I wanted to strangle a main character as much as I wanted to strangle the Male Lead Yuan.

He is an arrogant, brash, self-centered black bellied, green tea BITCH and I love him. He makes me want to throw my phone into the sun and learn the art of becoming one with nature at times, but his character development gives me the hope that maybe anyone can change into a better person.

Before I get into the plot, general warnings: THIS IS YAOI! IT HAS EXPLICIT GROWN ASS MANXGROWN ASS MAN ACTION!!! THEY FUCK!!! FOR PAGES!!! This is also, technically omegaverse, but considering this is AlphaXAlpha there's no MPreg.

Other general warnings are: 20+age gap, unflattering depictions of the church (which is where these next tags stem from), non explicit allusions to past non consensual acts against children, threats of rape (not between any of our leads), torture, confinement, and attempted murder

The plot of this wonderful novel follows our Main character Gillen, a man who has transmigrated into a stereotypical fantasy web novel simply known as "Adorable Young Lady" as the stereotypical Dad who neglects his daughter after his wife dies in childbirth. In the novel, his daughter, Cecilia, is a regressor who decides to change her life for the better, but now that Gillen is here he decides to say fuck all that and be the Dad who stepped the fuck up.

Rather than let Cecilia do all the heavy lifting to change the plot, he goes out of his way to make her life the happiest it can be.

Actual excerpt from the novel:

"No matter what she thought, Gillen braided her hair, dressed her, fed her, read her bedtime stories every night, travelled with her, and told her he loved her. When she went away to the academy, he fretted constantly and exchanged hundreds of letters with her until her graduation... His only wish was for his precious Cecilia to suffer as little as possible."

Well, it's 20 years later and the plot has finally finished it's course, Cecilia is set to marry the Crown Prince and they're are happily in love.

Originally, Cecilia as an omega would have to deal with other absolutely insane alpha romantic rivals, but slowly through events in the background, he has gotten rid of every single roadblock to Cecilia's happy marriage.

Enter, the second male lead, Yuan, the stereotypical most powerful sorcerer in the kingdom (world, really) shows up, wanting to marry his daughter.

Obviously, they tell him she's already about to get married, but Yuan is probably the most arrogant and annoying man I have ever had the pleasure to read about. So he's like, if I hang out around your daughter, she will want to dump that trash to get with a REAL man like me.

(If you have ever read the novel "Roxana" and the gratuitous imagery of how beautiful the titular character is, then you will have the slightest idea about how Yuan sees himself. He will go on and on about how much of a rich, magically powerful and gorgeous man he is, and it will be extra awful because his ego is the size of a galaxy and it is perfectly warranted. He is so OP that it genuinely makes you angry. )

Now, Gillen has read the novel, and Yuan is also a bit of a yandere (he literally kidnaps and imprisons Cecilia in the original novel) along with thinking he's God's gift to mankind, and he doesn't want ANY of that near his kid, so he devised a plan where he's going to third wheel the SHIT out of this dude in the most annoying ways possible.

Basically it's just weeks of everytime Yuan shows up in their territory, Gillen suddenly NEEDS to show him this thing 5 miles away. "Oh, you want to see my daughter Cecilia? She can't right now, she's busy in another territory, but have I told you all about our municipal water supply?" Cue 3 hours of that.

Actual excerpt from the novel:

“My word… just look at these pebbles!”

And that was how Gillen ended up spending a dreadful, entire month alone with Yuan.

“The colour, the shape, the hardness—so full of the late duke’s love! Isn’t it moving?”

“…Yes, I suppose so. But, excuse me, could I use the restroom—”

“Restroom? How convenient—I was just thinking of going myself. Let’s go together.”

“Sigh, never mind. I don’t really feel like it now. Please, go ahead.”

“Actually, I don’t feel like it either. I lied because I didn’t want to be apart from you.”

Gillen smiled and picked up another pebble.

Fortunately, this garden was full of unusually shaped stones, making it easy to invent conversation topics.

Yuan's expression visibly soured. He was probably thinking something like "How do I shake off this leech of a man?"—but there was no chance."

Finally, because Yuan is a self centered piece of trash at this point in the story, he DOES NOT GET the hint and actually starts to believe that Gillen is in love with HIM.

That's where the title comes in, and Yuan rejects Gillens non existent advances and decides he can't marry a woman when her Dad is in love with him.

Gillen is just like... Mission accomplished... I guess??? and goes about his life working on Cecilia's wedding preparations.

Meanwhile, Yuan has come to the devastating realization that his type is actually nice older men having their complete attention on him at all times and he JUST REJECTED THE HOTTEST DILF IN THE KINGDOM?!? HE'S GOT TO FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!

So the rest of the plot is Yuan slowly learning how to become a better person and trying to win back Gillen, because he must be so devastated about how Yuan cruelly rejected him.

Gillen on the otherhand is actually getting seduced by this prick 20 years younger than him and has a crisis about it, because not only is he BISEXUAL, BUT HIS TASTE IN MEN IS ACTUALLY THE WORST??? WHY, GOD? WHY??

(Also, Gillen's a natural bottom and has a crisis about that too, because what kind of self-respecting Alpha is a BOTTOM!!!)

FINAL WARNING!! I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW THAT YUAN WILL SPEND A LARGE PORTION OF THIS STORY BEING A BEAUTIFUL DELUSIONAL KING!! YOU WILL HAVE MOMENTS WHERE YOU THINK HE CANNOT DIG HIMSELF INTO A DEEPER HOLE, BUT HE WILL AND GLEEFULLY MISUNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE WAY BECAUSE GILLEN IS A HOT DILF! OF SUCH EPIC PROPORTIONS THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN BLAME THIS POOR BASTARD HALF OF THE TIME!

My little guy had his little 'oh I get it' with Varkas. And oh I love Love LOVE him oh so much.

Boy you are just perfect the way you are.

We finally got the backstory of the King Argen and Queen and honestly it's heartbreaking 💔 he was an innocent, hardworking person trying to become a good king and he loved Queen Grace a lot but because of other people's constant comparisons he finally broke and became what he is today. I wonder if he still loves Queen Grace or not 🤔

SO fl is the heir of the grand duchy OF THE NORTH and ml was the first prince of some country but his evil step-mom drove him away to fls territory and through her saving him he became obsessed what I love about this that doesn't feel like other cliche manhwa is that FL.CAN.HOLD.HER.GROUND.AND.CAN.OFTEN CATCH ML LYING and doesn't remain an innocent damsel who thinks ml is a cutie patootie another good thing Is that they have a kind of cat and mouse dynamic too with fl always trying to figure out mls thoughts also she a baddieeeeee and CAN FIGHT and another trope this has which other manhwa don't have is that fl is the boss of ml and not the other way around also ml is reaaaalllllly obsessed but in a subby way which I love so give this a try it has 75 chapters too so you'll be fed for a bit also I has SPICE sometimes so beware

It’s just… the audacity. It’s stifling. Truly stifling. You guys can already guess what’s going on here, but for everyone confused: Blondie brings back a woman he got pregnant to his duchy, where his fiance has been holding the fort down FOR 6 YEARS WHILE HE WAS AT WAR. Obviously, thanks to the story’s synopsis provided by Manta + the cover art, she isn’t going to stick with this guy in the endgame. But still. I knew what I was getting when I opened this story up and I’m STILL irked. Does this fool have no sense of decency and public image? Regardless of the female leads background as a noblewoman from the countryside or her status as just a “mere fiance” (which is insane because there is nothing “mere” about an engagement between nobles) this is disrespectful. Unless this setting permits concubinage (which I’m 100% is limited to the emperor only) this fool literally got a woman pregnant at war and brought her home. This sort of stuff should cause scandal, invite slander on his family’s name, shift supporters of his household. Because men at war can’t keep their dick in their pants for the life of them, this isn’t “fact” but it’s just a general statement. But not being strong enough to pull out… and then bringing her TO YOUR DUCHY? I’m glad that the staff is at least unsettled by this and apparently they have the sense to talk about how insane he’s being but good god. I can’t tell whether I want to apply suspension of disbelief or just nod my head because yeah this is absolutely the kind of misogyny that only a man who believes himself all powerful can commit. Either way I’m ready for how this will go because she’s going to dump him and I’m going to have so much fun with the buildup.

A dilf looking ML. Which is rare....

I was surfing for more baihe (GL) manhuas and then I encountered this one. Turns out, this story is from the same creator as The Wind Spell. I'm curious if anyone else has read it?

And that's what we call a Big Damn Heroes moment! As much as I hope Abigail still gets to at least take part in finishing him off, I'm definitely not complaining about Sabrian and Veritus coming through in the clutch.

Margo, you're next. (I hope.)

Let's talk, vent and cry about the Second Male lead syndrome where you have two possible male love interest. The the second male who arguably is the Battle of Interest he is more supportive of the female lead but he loses to the main lead who is either a blonde crown prince who either arrogant or has an ego the a cold duke of the nnorth with dark hair or worse he's a red flag fans love as he's extremely handsome [I hate it when i see comments gushing over and forgiving the male lead because he's hot or they love the male lead beause he's "morr attractive then the second male lead but that an argument for another day] all while the second male lead is definitely better

So tell me about your woos, heartbreak and anger of the second male lead syndrome let's cry together

I just find find this behavior so odd. I know majority of these stories are wish fulfillment and the FL has to be the centre of the universe, but I get the ick whenever I see MLs jealous of their children and competing with them for their wife's attention. Or, when the dads make it super clear they love the mother more or the mother is number 1 always. Why not explain the love for both is different? This is also why I'm not a fan of side stories where they have kids because it's always the ML pouting about not getting his wife's love anymore, his kids looking like his wife and that being the only reason he finds them cute, or plotting with his children on how to protect his wife/their mother. My hot take is that most of these MLs are deeply screwed up individuals and while they might be good husbands, they would make terrible fathers, and they really should not be having kids without getting some therapy (whatever that is in the historical, OI universe).

The only difference between them and the abusive OI fathers is that the wives lived through childbirth. Had the FL died, we'd be seeing the same loving ML become a toxic abuser who detests his kid and gives them life-long daddy issues. It's not even just in OIs. I was rereading a manhwa, and this popped up: "AND EVEN IF THEY HAVE KIDS, DOJUN WILL BE A 10OO% MORE INTERESTED ΙN GEUNYEONG ΤHAN ΤΗEM." Then don't have kids????

This comment has me deceased😭😭

Manhwa is "Darling, Why Can't We Divorce?" (Other titles: "Honey, Why Can't We Get A Divorce?"; "Honey, Can't I Get A Divorce?")

(Did I use the right flair?)

the racism whiplash was random and incredibly badly written. she got this man, who wasn't even unreasonable, jumped and trafficked just because he was a person of color trying to reclaim a child of his tribe? even if there's context behind this, it's clearly the white savior trope, and to begin with, talking down on poc was seriously irritating to begin with.

she looks so happy and content with herself, and what, is slavery funny to her? that's the flaw with all rofan female leads, they 'save' a child and then get high on their dick about it. this story is too shallow to do that, they should've stuck to the fast pace and casual read theme, or at least tried to ignore the implications of what they write like most writers, and yet they decided to do this anyway.

even as a violent and cold female lead they're trying to write the MC as, this was unnecessary, and a delicate topic they managed too poorly. is this romantic to them? describing other cultures that they loosely copied and didn't even bothering researching for a one off plot as barbaric, and you know later they'll claim it's just fiction fantasy. right, like it's not their fetish dream to own other people, it's a disgusting mindset to have for other people. plot is just an excuse.

Guys Im in a massive 2nd lead syndrome rn…is there anything you could recco where the second lead is the ml AND he actually needs to feel like the 2nd lead. For some reason most mangas with 2nd lead as ml tends to be the alpha duke of the north gaaaa I WANT REAL 2nd LEAD GREEN FLAGS PUPPY ML!!!!

Helloo!! How far are we in the Manhwa before Thalia and Varkas get together?

What is the deal with Fjord Barrat cos I’ve forgotten like, why does his mom hate the royal family, is he a product of experimentation since they keep calling him the Barrat masterpiece.

Edit: thank you for the answers much obliged
