Love is an Illusion! Vol. 1

Product Information

Immediately afterwards, you are met with Dojun and Heesoo and how their relationship is progressing, in-secret to the rest of the world, and Dojun is an absolutely stone-faced character, so we see intro into his desires through his thoughts and actions, and him bending from his lavish life to meet heesoo in his small apartment-- because he loves Heesoo and makes that compromise because he's learning new things, including how to love again, with Heesoo. Which is a better scenario than I can say for most of my one night stands. Non-con and Dub-con are standard in this webtoon in general, no matter which couple you see, so I won't beat the dead horse more than I have to. So, I took a chance and bought a Managa with a cute cover at Barnes and noble that was wrapped in plastic for mature content. Regardless, I remember now vividly why I had such mixed feelings when I read this years ago. Between Hye-sung having 0 brain cells—boy is so prone to scams! please use your brain, I’m begging 😭—and Dojin being in denial about his interest in Hye-sung this is…a lot in a manga 💀

one of the main characters thought he was an alpha most of his life, but he finds out he is a recessive omega. Hye-sung has spent his entire life thinking he was a recessive Alpha, but, while working as a waiter at a party, he meets Dojin, a dominant Alpha, enters his first heat cycle, and discovers that he's actually an Omega. Specifically, he's a recessive Omega, so he'll likely have difficulty finding medication that can suppress his heat cycle and it'll be harder for him to get pregnant.They're a terrible couple who are terrible for each other. The main thing tying them together is the fact that Hye-sung seems to be Dojin's muse (find another source of inspiration!), and Hye-sung is a dumbass whose idiocy makes Dojin understandably worried. Hye-sung, there are no non-sketchy ways for you to make money fast, so stop falling for scams!

It ends rather anti-climactically, the pacing starts to unravel in general for this webtoon at this point, but Heesoo is kidnapped, and we find out Chowon can't let go of Dojun because of a desire to be loved and Heesoo having what Chowon never did in his marriage-- a deep contrast to how it worked out for them compared to how the first couple miraculously makes it work. But Chowon is caught again, and Dojun finally files charges against Chowon, but the only taking the agreement that Chowon seeks help with no further repercussions and leaves Chowon's life.I read the full Korean version of this and, oh boy, it’s been a long time since I have read a series so bad. This took me for a ride. At various points I was thinking everything from giving this 2 stars and dnfing the series, to finally giving it what - 3 1/2 stars? 4??? Looking at people who enjoy reading mature and smutty series, the stereotype is a sassy but submissive main character with a suave sexy dominant love interest. The main characters doesn't like the male lead, but their sexual chemistry is too strong. This baseline is very common in mature works of fiction and is taken in a new way in BL and omegaverse pieces of fiction. Two stars for the art style and Hye-sung. Everything else was traumatic rubbish. Dojin is the worst male character I’ve ever read and that’s saying a lot. A whole bunch of excuses and lies are all that came out of his mouth. Two middle fingers for him.

Love is an Illusion! Vol. 1: (Love is an Illusion! 1) | WHSmith

Look at that cover. Don't they look like a sweet and loving couple? Ha ha. Banish that thought from your mind. Maybe they eventually turn into that, I don't know, but their relationship in this first volume is nothing but rape and resentment.Nu pot să sufăr din cauza finalului pentru că recitesc și știu deja ce va urma. Dar la o primă citire, vai, ce tigaie i-aș fi dat lui Hye-Sung la fund pentru decizia lui. 🤦‍♀️ But I did not really like either of the MCs. In different ways, they're both irritating and not great people, but also I'm weirdly fascinated by seeing what happens next with them? It's like when I watched Big Dragon and thought "you're both the worst and I sort of need to see you end up together for some reason." The worst thing this series does is put a very standard BL couple in the middle of the other story lines, and another omega with a much more deeply messed up personality in a much more sensical similar narrative to the first couple. I'm reminded of Killing Stalking where people were upset about the non-consensual sex scenes among the multitude of morally wrong romance scenes in the manwha and heavily demonized people who enjoyed the medium. But I encourage people to recognize that not every piece of medium has to be wholesome and healthy to be enjoyable, and that many people can distinguish fiction from reality and would be the first people to intervene should they see a dynamic like that in real life. Dojin was a bit better at the end, but he was controlling, manipulative, rude protagonist who took advantage of someone in heat and then basically used their bad position in life to hold them there.
