Regas Chapter Completed Discussion

Regas is a beautifully written novel.

REGAS is a slow burn BL fantasy romance novel in a mediaeval setting with mentions of royalty/nobility, mythic creatures, and reincarnation.

Characters were written delightfully and fun. Storyline was that of a classic RoFan. Author’s storytelling was remarkable and was far from boring.

CHARACTERS:

This novel revolves around a couple- A naive war orphan raised to be a Regas, Abel and a prince destined to burn the empire to ashes, Karas.

A Regas is, according to this world’s history and tradition, a beautiful androgynous effeminate man trained to be companions of the ones who inherit the dragon’s blood - the emperor and his heir.

Abel, the main character of this novel, is a Regas. Contrary to what was known of a Regas, Abel is a man’s man- tall, muscularly bulky, and strong. However, despite his appearance, he is of a naive, gentle, selfless, and bright persona. All through out the novel, author kept him true to his character. He was made memorable and enjoyable. That may be is the reason, when after he was reincarnated as a classic Regas- a petite androgynous beauty, Lil/Abel- I had a very hard time removing his original face and physique. Original Abel was given an ample exposure- enough to be tattooed in the mind of the readers. I read that some readers even wished the author kept him different and I couldn’t argue with them. I also want the author to kept him that way. However, the author managed to keep the essence of his character despite the change in face and physique- that is why I still enjoyed reading about him all through out the volumes. I eventually learned to love the “fairy” Abel.

Some may complaint that he is s*upid but I wholeheartedly disagree. He is naive and pure, hence mistaken to be s*upid. Ah, no, I guess he sometimes is s*upid - s*upid in romance and love, lol. At the first half of the novel, author concealed most of the reasons why Abel acted how he acted- author gradually revealed that all Abel’s decision were purposeful and actions were of reasons. The key here is, reading the novel fully. I started getting hooked past midway of the novel. The thrill I had was enough for me to give this novel a very long review.

Karas, the main lead, is the crown prince with questionable character gifted with the power of a dragon. As a massive time skip happened to this novel, readers just accepted the massive change in his character, strength, and intelligence without further questioning. I also initially thought that author just glossed it over and forgot him altogether. However, the reason for his character was only explained on the very- veeery end- the last paragraph of the novel. I was caught off guard when I read the end.

The side characters were written very lovely and comically. No side characters were outshined by another. Author successfully incorporated their importance in the story, even making me like one of the side characters, the butler, more than the main characters. Expect to love them as well.

LENGTH:

The main story runs until early parts of volume 7 and their romance was focused on later parts of the same volume. A special story can be read in volume 8, which leaves further clarification of the events that happened and how they developed their relationship. I hope there is more side and extra stories, but unfortunately, everything was concluded at the end of volume 8.

WARNINGS:

There was no actual non consensual penetrative s*xual acts happened to the main character, Abel however, there were multiple attempted s*xual assaults. In line with this, the other extra characters were not spared. There were multiple mentions of both penetrative and non penetrative s*xual assaults to the other Regas. Be weary and careful in reading- or do not read this novel at all if it can trigger a trauma.

There were multiple mentions of blood and mutilation bordering gore. Again, do not read this novel as it can be triggering.

There were multiple mentions of child ab*se, not just of Karas’ childhood but of others.

HOWEVER, if read on above listed site, spring of romance, a trigger warning in red is placed every chapter with sensitive contents. Toggle the icon to skip the sensitive topics.

ADDITIONAL contents:

Comedy. This novel seesawed between serious and hilarious contents, mostly green and s*xual comedy - with tasteful transitions even. It came naturally, lol. I laughed so hard during these cuts. Lol. A good break in between lengthy serious readings.

This has smut contents. It was graphic and explicit. Initially of the members of the King of Hearts, and eventually, of the main characters.

Expect the romantic smut of the main characters only after the main story ended. Volume 7 if I am not mistaken. There will be multiple NSFW contents of KarasXAbel.

There were no mentions of mpreg or hints of that. So do not expect of any cute babies or their dragon eggs.

Special mention to Yanie of Spring of Romance who translated this novel exquisitely. I am thankful s/he took this novel. Money definitely well spent.

Once I have access to the actual novel, I promise myself to buy this author’s book. Excited to get a copy of Regas.

In conclusion, I highly— highly recommend REGAS to a reader who loves a classic BL RoFan in slow burn with minimal to nil drama and angst.
