Sweet Life

It was really intriguing! That’s why I’m here to let everyone know how eager I am for the new chapters! Huhuhuhu, I can’t wait to read and see the main character get their revenge on that despicable cousin. Grrrr... The main character’s plight is so helpless; it’s your duty, ML, to save your princess from the clutches of the evil uncle and those perverted cousins. Tsk. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I’m okay with rape scenes as long as they ultimately end up together.

The plot was good, but the writing was too complex for me, and I disliked the protagonist from the start. I don't see any redeeming qualities in him.

Okay, this novel was pretty much an amateur work.

The setting and plot could have been interesting, but it felt like the author didn't really plan the story at all, resulting in some weird plot twists and characters very often acting truly bizarre.

**Setting:** An alternative universe with a strange mix of Medieval Europe (knights and such) and the modern world. The political structure includes a king and dukes, but the accuracy of the translation of these titles is questionable, making the entire nobility system confusing. The ABO (Alpha, Beta, Omega) setting adds another layer of complexity, with dominant alphas and omegas playing significant roles. Dominant alphas can only have children with dominant omegas, who are highly fertile. It's unclear if alphas can have children with betas, but alpha men tend to marry alpha women, who cannot bear children. Despite this, marriages between royals and nobles are often based on uniting bloodlines, which doesn't align with the fact that alpha wives of noble blood cannot have children. The society is highly patriarchal and extremely discriminatory towards omegas, who are treated as birthing machines and third-class citizens due to their heats, which are perceived as making them overly sexual and driven by lust. However, dominant omegas are highly valued for their fertility.

**Main Characters:**
- **MC and his twin sister, Rachel:** Both are dominant omegas. They were raised by their omega mother but were later found and taken away by their alpha father, who handed them over to their uncle. The power dynamics within their family are unclear, possibly due to poor translation.
- **MC's Abusive Uncle:** Raises the MC and Rachel, planning to use the MC as a sex slave for powerful alphas who want to have children. Rachel, however, manages to get engaged to the crown prince, a dominant alpha who wants to reform omega rights and needs a dominant omega to bear his children.
- **Crown Prince Jake:** A dominant alpha who can only have children with a dominant omega. He wants to secure his position as heir by having an alpha son and agrees to protect the MC in exchange for bearing his child. Despite his initial motives, he becomes genuinely kind and considerate towards the MC, and they fall in love.
- **Duke of Liefield:** Married to the MC's eccentric alpha aunt. He has a major crush on the MC, which comes off as creepy given the age difference and the fact that he is married. He attempts to manipulate the MC into becoming his lover and bearing his child, showing little regard for the MC's well-being.
- **MC's Aunt:** Abuses the MC by examining his intimate parts against his will and pressures him to become the Duke's lover.

**Plot:**
- **Rachel's Engagement and Attack:** Rachel's engagement to the crown prince is called off after she is attacked by a terrorist during her wedding, leaving her badly hurt and unable to have children. She convinces the MC to offer himself to the prince to bear his child and secure their safety.
- **MC's Deal with Prince Jake:** The MC agrees to bear the prince's child in exchange for protection from his abusive family. The relationship between the MC and Prince Jake develops into a genuine romance, with the prince being the only genuinely kind person in the MC's life.
- **Duke of Liefield's Creepy Behavior:** The Duke's actions towards the MC are disturbing, including his inappropriate attraction to the MC even when he was a child, his willingness to let his wife abuse the MC, and his tantrums when the MC rejects him in favor of the prince.
- **Confusing Plot Twists:** The story includes several plot twists that add to the confusion. For example, the MC was raped by his uncle, had a miscarriage, and forgot about it due to trauma. This event is mentioned once and never addressed again. Another twist reveals that omegas have omega children when they feel safe and are in love with their partner, which explains why the MC's child with Prince Jake is an omega.

**:**
The entire story is extremely confusing, and much of this confusion is likely due to the poor translation quality. The novel is a difficult read, and the plot and character motivations are often illogical and poorly executed. Despite its flaws, the relationship between the MC and Prince Jake stands out as a rare moment of genuine kindness and consideration in an otherwise dark and convoluted narrative.

Sure, here is the rewritten content:

*sight, what a terrible thing - I got hooked by the "sweet" title, thinking it would be an easy read, — BUT this is so not it!*

So far, nothing is sweet: the main character (MC) goes through extensive and extreme abuse in very few chapters.

He lives in an extremely tyrannical universe where females (omegas) are used solely as tools for reproduction, with no social rights. It's somewhat akin to the very sad way women are still treated in many parts of the world and have been treated throughout history (worthless if they can’t bear a male child).

But it’s worse because of the rarity of omegas; they are shared and expected to breed for several people without being the companion of any of them!

It could have been a reverse harem with lots of care and love, but the author chose to make it ugly, evil forced surrogacy without an ounce of respect, love, or morality.

Back to our main character, unlike his very interesting but now broken sister, he has been beaten into submission for so long that he has less personality than a ghost. You might think he’s lucky to be an aristocrat, but his rare gender is hidden because his family seeks to sell his body for favors, profits, and power. They made sure he would never stray or struggle by humiliating and hurting him constantly!

It’s plain disgusting. I don’t really understand these choices, except perhaps to reflect the treatment of women in many parts of the world. But even then, it’s worse! Breeding doesn’t mean systematic humiliation for women, but it seems it does for omegas. They are treated like meat, inferior to animals. The dominants can’t do without them, but they seem to hate them with a passion as much as they use them in very obsessive and wicked ways.

Story-wise, there should be a plot. The prince apparently has many rivals hungry for his throne, and the sister’s “accident” is definitely not coincidental. Hopefully, this will give some room for the MC to grow a bit (badly needed).

We should guess the prince is the most probable male lead (ML). In that ambiguous universe, he’s not as bad as many—he seemed less prejudiced against castes and gender. But the sweet sister hushed the MC never to trust him—seeing the title, let’s hope she’s wrong and he’s the sweet part of this very bad universe.

So, what is left?

- The miserable sister is probably on her dying breath. What a pain; she was obviously a very interesting character, but she became fodder before chapter one. It’s so pitiful. Does it call for justice/revenge?

- Then you wonder: do we even want to expect a romance in that awful universe? Because seriously, the whole omega thing is way too bad. Saving one of them won’t pull the dirt off the curtains—and worse to come: do you want to add a baby to be born into that hellish setting? A cute little thing born to watch his back for assassins and plots, and be plotted by his nearest family members—add: a upbringing with high risk to become a half-rapist like most alphas around?

It’s good if you have a short memory (and forget what babies grow up to be), but it strangely doesn’t make me happy.

Lastly, plot-wise, there’s ample room for a game of chess, which would actually be interesting to read.

So let’s admit I’m a bit curious about how it will end: maybe reading two or three chapters from the end will satisfy my curiosity (where’s my sweet, can we save the sister, make a peaceful yet profound revolution?).

Or maybe because of the plot potential, I’ll give it a chance for a few more chapters as the MC is finally out of both his torturous shackles (family and heat)—at least for a little while.

But I can’t say I enjoyed it, nor can I recommend this title.

I seriously hope the writers put their minds to serious reasons and strong devices to actually express something when they use these extreme paradigms. I hope it’s not just gratuitous violence again—abuse, neglect, bullying, child abuse, sexual abuse, murders, and such. These should not be used too easily to tell a story. Nothing could be worse than these becoming so mundane that they no longer make us revolted.

Note: If you’re seeking warm or hot stuff, this is not the best. After three chapters, you also can’t escape a couple of strange smutty scenes. The first being a quasi-rape, is plain disgusting. The second is a very clinical “heat episode”—yes, duh, clinical, it’s an awkward mix of medical and rude terms patched together in an emotionless description, totally deprived of any kind of warmth—or heat!

Fine by me; I most often skip those—but boy, can people get turned on by reading about tripe (sorry, intestines)?

Lastly, the translation can be less than optimal, making some parts or dialogues hard to understand.

Two stars 🌟🌟

The main character (MC) just wasn't for me. The magic system (ML) felt bland, and the side characters lacked depth, which is a real shame. I found myself rooting for the duke more, to be honest. The story felt bland overall, with a lot of abuse directed at the MC. The endings for the villains were unsatisfying. The novel had potential, but ultimately it didn't deliver.

The author did an amazing job at creating an incredibly dark and twisted world. Omegas are traded like broodmares and have absolutely no rights. They are literally forced to give birth until they die.

And, of course, the main character (MC) is a deeply pitiful, abused Omega whose life is somehow even worse than most Omegas. He is weak, but not in a way that’s annoying. His weakness stems from living in a terrible world where he has no rights, not because he lacks personal strength.

The male lead (ML) seems like a good person, but I really don’t think he is. They try to frame him as a savior, but he’s really just another user treating the MC as a broodmare. I hope the MC finds happiness on his own. Of course, this is a Boys' Love (BL) story, so they’ll probably end up together in the end, but it’s nice to hope!

2/5 would be my rating.

I commend the translator for the good work, but the story was disappointing. The main character (MC) is portrayed as helpless, and the male lead (ML), despite being the crown prince, seems strangely powerless. He couldn't even protect the MC.

Almost everything about this story is messed up. The MC experiences quasi-rape, is raped, gets pregnant by his uncle, but then miscarries. He forgets about it and thinks the crown prince was his first.

Omegas have no rights, and their sole purpose seems to be to bear children—just keep giving birth to different alpha babies.

The only redeeming aspect is the intimate scenes between the ML and MC.

The antagonist doesn't face significant consequences, which adds to the overall frustrating premise.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Sure, here is the rewritten content:

Translator here!

I recommend this story only if you're okay with some disturbing chapters (including scenes of rape) and characters (you'll particularly hate the MC's cousin and uncle).

In this universe, omegas are rare, but dominant omegas? Oh, dear, those are extremely rare. The difference between a regular omega and a dominant one? The latter can give birth to dominant alphas, who are considered superior to regular alphas. This is why every dominant alpha wants a child with a dominant omega. However, these omegas are so rare that they are often seen as mere objects or tools for reproduction.

The main character, Sunwoo, is (unfortunately) a dominant omega, like his sister, but his uncle has registered him as a beta. The reason behind this is that his uncle plans to "sell" him to powerful dominant alphas. To do this, he couldn't reveal to the government that his cousin is a dominant omega. By the way, when I mention powerful dominant alphas, I mean Sunwoo might have to bear 10+ children (sadly, this will be the fate of most dominant omegas).

Why didn't anyone suspect Sunwoo was an omega when his sister was one? Omegas are usually female, so finding a male dominant omega is even rarer (he has everything—male, dominant, and an omega). Because of this, male omegas are often looked down upon (like, "look at this man who has breasts and can get pregnant").

Sunwoo's sister, Rachel, was supposed to marry the Prince, a dominant alpha who needs a descendant. On their wedding day, however, Rachel has an accident and barely survives, but now she has trouble speaking due to severe burns. It's always heartbreaking when she talks. She is unable to have children anymore, so she talks to the MC and asks him to have the Prince's son.

Rachel is such a sweetheart and even though her life has been turned upside down, she still supports her brother. Their relationship is incredibly touching; they would do anything for each other.

Now, let's talk about the male lead (ML). As a Prince, I expected him to be a jerk who would eventually fall for the MC, but he is actually quite sweet, and their relationship progresses faster than expected.

That's it for now. I haven't finished reading the entire story yet, but so far, it's very good.
