@SonELF It's true he would have save himself from some of the hardships if he had been honest, but I get why he wasn't. Sejin feared rejection and abandonment more than anything. He had a fleeting sense of belonging with Ido after they started to fall for each other. He was too weak to say anything for fear of losing that connection. Was it the right move? No, but I get why he felt how he did. And yes, the words he chose after being violated were very poor (and maybe a bit contrived), but he felt he had lost any connection they had by that point and thought it was on Ido's say so. He had been wallowing in loneliness for weeks at that point. He wasn't about to just say the most awful thing which ever happened to him to someone he thought no longer cared.

@olala Yeah, I don't like her much. She's pretty awful as a person. I read it once and can't be bothered to reread it.

@Aki No problem. I didn't much care for the lead of The Queen, but One Night Only is cute.

@Aki

No, that's sperm donorship, not surrogacy.

One Night Only and LIAI: The Queen both have female alpha leads if you're curious to see that take on the world.

@Aki First off, surrogacy is for when you have gametes, but not a womb; they have two wombs between them. And alpha females have sperm and a di** basically, so they can impregnate omegas.

@Dazais crusty crab There is another side story for the novel which was unadapted.

Yup, the only part I dislike about this story is how Daichi was handled. He didn't act ignorant, but malicious, and it's not necessary for character growth to forgive your assailant.

Akihito. Only omegas can get pregnant when they're male. Usugi and her mate could both carry children because she's female and he's an omega.
