Name : MY BELOVED BETRAYAL

by - Jeon Minji

Rating: 4/10 (And that’s me being generous.)

At first, I thought, Okay, this story isn’t too bad—just some minor grammatical errors. But nope. The more I read, the worse it got.

Let’s break it down:

The Writing? A Mess.

If I had to rate the writing alone, I’d give it a 4/10. The idea had potential, but the execution? Horrible. The story doesn’t flow well, and half the time, it reads like a rushed summary instead of an actual novel.

Everything Feels Rushed.

One moment, something dramatic happens, and before you even process it, the story jumps to the next event. There’s no proper build-up, no tension—just things happening for the sake of moving the plot forward.

The Friends Are the Worst.

What kind of friends let Tae walk into this disaster? They knew JK had a partner, yet they didn’t warn him? Sure, maybe Tae couldn’t have done anything about it, but at least he would have known. If I had friends like that, I’d rather be alone for the rest of my life.

And more ridiculous than this is that Mrs Jeon knew that MC's biological mom was killed by the stepmom years ago so why is she even not speaking about it ?

I wish no one every encounters people like that

JK Is a Spineless Cheater

Let’s talk about the main issue: Jungkook. How disgusting can a person be? He didn’t tell his own mother that he was already in a relationship. He didn’t stop his forced marriage. And worst of all? He cheated on his current partner by sleeping with Tae. If that wasn’t bad enough, he abandoned his lover the moment his company went bankrupt. What kind of weak, pathetic excuse for a main character is this?

This Doesn’t Feel Like a Story—It’s a Summary.

There’s no depth, no proper pacing, no character development. It’s like the author just vomited ideas onto the page without bothering to connect them properly.

Jungkook \= Walking Red Flag.

He doesn’t love his partner.

He doesn’t love Tae either.

He doesn’t have the guts to fight for himself.

But he does have the audacity to cheat?

Honestly, why is anyone even interested in him?

Mrs. Jeon Needs Parenting Lessons.

Who buys a bride for their son without asking him first? and too too it was 10 billion. I don't remember if it was mention that the MC's family was well know or not. So how can Mrs Jeon know that the MC will be a good spouse for her son ?What kind of outdated, ridiculous plotline is this? She didn’t even consider her son’s feelings—then again, he didn’t speak up either, so maybe they deserve each other.

Tae’s Stepfamily Is Evil for No Reason.

We never get an explanation for why Tae’s stepfamily hates him. They just do. If you’re going to write toxic family dynamics, at least give them a reason beyond "because the plot needs drama."

If JK Loved Hana So Much, Why Did He Marry Tae?

Make it make sense. If he truly loved her, why did he go through with the marriage? Why did he sleep with Tae? Did he not think about how his actual lover would feel? And the second his company collapses, he just abandons her? His love was that fragile?

Tae Magically Becomes a CEO?

This one made me laugh. Tae goes from having no backbone to running two top companies? When did he even go to college?( I don't remember if the author mentioned that he was studying but he is 20 yrs old in the first chapter ) How does someone with no experience suddenly become a business genius? It’s beyond unrealistic.

The Worst Part: SA Used as a Plot Device

And now, the part that made me the most disgusted. The author casually included SA in the story. Not only is this completely unnecessary, but it’s also written in a way that feels like it was just thrown in for shock value. SA is a serious topic—it should never be used carelessly in fiction.

But what makes this even worse? The author admitted that Hana is the name of their real-life ex.

That’s when I realized—did they seriously write their ex-girlfriend into a story just to have her go through SA? If so, that is beyond disgusting. No matter what she did, you do not use someone’s name like that and put them through something so horrific in a story. R*pe is not something to casually add for drama—it needs proper handling and purpose, not just thrown in without care.

Final Thoughts:

This story had potential, but the way it was written ruined it. Bad pacing, weak characters, ridiculous plot twists, and the careless use of SA? No thanks.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely not.

The whole story was the shittiest shit ever!! At first, it seemed like the usual predictable plot, but oh boy, was I wrong. If possible, I’d give this story a -infinity rating. It’s about T and J, who have a complicated relationship. Although T works for J as his secretary, they frequently have an intimate relationship. But J is engaged to X, and honestly, both are terrible! At first, I thought X was sweet, but she’s just as obsessed as J. F THEM! So J and T have this forbidden, toxic relationship going on — it’s more like prostitution, with T offering himself to J for money just to pay his blind mom’s hospital bills. T also has an elder brother who is mentally unstable, so T is taking care of them with the money J spends on him.

As the story progresses, J’s attitude toward T worsens and becomes physically abusive — hitting him, talking trash, calling him names, etc. Then one day, T’s blind mom wakes up and returns home, but J disrespects T in front of her.

Along the way, T meets J’s cousin N — and wow, N is a total bitch! N falls for T, and J and N have a dark history: J seduced N’s mate, so N killed her mate (I have no idea how they’re even free at this point). T’s mom finds out T is pregnant and that he’s selling his body to J, so she schemes with N to forcefully “mate mark” T without his permission — basically drugging and forcing him into marriage in this ABO world fiction. It’s absolutely traumatic.

The ending is not a typical tragic sad one, but I effing hate it!! How can a mother give a total stranger permission to force her pregnant child like that? When J finds out, there’s a physical fight between him and N, and J stops talking to T. After T confronts his mom, that awful woman decides to kill herself and leaves a recording saying, “I’m sorry T, because of me you’re like this… I wish I’d die.” Who says that? Seriously? T blames J for everything.

Then J kidnaps V, T’s elder brother, thinking he’s T and almost assaults him, but thankfully stops before going further. They have a huge fight, and T and V leave to start a new life. On their way, they get hit by a truck — the child dies. J asks for forgiveness and invites T to his wedding. T forgives him and goes, but there’s drama, people get arrested, and J finds out that T and their child supposedly died, and the person in front of him is V. He’s heartbroken, and V says things like, “Thank God T died without hearing J say ‘143’ to him… J and T will never meet because J will go to hell.”

J gets traumatized, cuts his wrist, and is hospitalized in critical condition but alive. Now he’s crippled and blind because he fainted and fell after cutting his wrist (really??). At the end, we find out T and the child are alive. V tells T not to meet J or know about J’s condition. T still loves J and is heartbroken, then suffers heart failure and dies. J dies too. Now V takes care of T’s child.

Not only is cousin J a criminal type, but T’s mom didn’t sell him; she asked N to force T (like in the ABO world fiction). The truck accident wasn’t fake — it was planned by X. Although both T and V survived, the story is still shit! I mean, this story had really good potential except for a few scenes and was written by someone who isn’t an amateur — sorry to say, but it’s true. Midway I thought, “Oh yeah, finally, it’s getting good!” but the writing ruined it, especially with T. V and N wanted T to abort, even giving him abortion pills without his knowledge! Thank God he found out before taking them. Also, when T wanted to abort, V didn’t let him, saying stuff like “now it’s our family.” I get it, but what about T’s right? T is the one carrying the baby, not others. I swear, the story would’ve been bearable if they let T decide what to do, instead of others meddling in his life and decisions.

Also, can we talk about how some people seem to take rape way too lightly? Rape is an extremely sensitive and serious topic, but this author treats it like it’s just some slap or minor thing. It’s honestly really upsetting and disrespectful to survivors. Handling such topics requires care and responsibility, which this story completely lacks.

When I read those scenes, it felt like I was just reading words with no real weight or emotion behind them. Honestly, the story was so traumatic yet poorly handled that I couldn’t even feel the MC’s pain or cry. And that’s saying something because I usually cry almost every time I read a sad novel. It’s really disappointing how such a heavy topic like rape was treated so lightly and carelessly — like it was just some slap or minor conflict. This shows a lack of respect and understanding for the seriousness of the subject and for survivors.

I was reading an ongoing omegaverse story. [My Bulky Omega by summer ]

I thought it would be a cute ..normal type where the ML likes the Strong omega who has physical strength like Alpha. But I was sooo wrongggg...

The MC (an omega) has an elder brother (an alpha) and a younger brother (also an omega).

The elder brother mates with the ML's omega brother — and yes, the ML’s brother gave his consent.

But the ML?? He drugs the MC and rapes him as revenge.

Years later, the MC gives birth to a child named Bubbles. They eventually find the ML again, and the MC decides to marry the ML for the child’s sake.

You know what’s the most mind-boiling part?

That rotting slice of cheese with parasites — the ML’s brother — doesn’t even do anything to the rapist.

And the MC’s own elder brother? NOTHING. No reaction. No rage.

Instead, the ML’s brother warmly welcomes the guy who raped his sibling’s mate as if nothing ever happened.

What the actual f—?!

The ML shows zero regret. None.

In fact, he’s got his disgusting eyes on the MC’s younger omega brother now.

During his heat, he almost forces the younger brother — and STILL no one punches him in the face.

And don’t even get me started on that little piece of betrayal named Bubbles.

The kid literally calls someone else “Mama” just because his dad brought that person home.

I mean… what?!

Even as a child — if I were him, I wouldn’t call anyone else my parent no matter what.

MC went through hell carrying him, raising him — and this is the thanks he gets?

And the ML? STILL flirting with the MC’s brother. It’s absolutely disgusting.

If I could I would have given the ratings in negative but atleast the writing is good.

I just wonder..how could someone give that story a 5 star ?

The writing is okay — like, good but not awesome. Definitely not enough to make up for the toxic trash fire of a plot.

And you know what’s worse?

There was no proper trigger warning.

They just slapped a lazy “18+” on the description like that covers everything.

No warning for r*pe, drugging, manipulation, emotional abuse, or near-assault.

Let me be clear:

🔞 “18+” means sexual content.

🚨 It does not mean readers are okay with traumatic, non-consensual acts being brushed under the rug.

If you're going to write dark themes, OWN IT and WARN properly. Don’t spring it on readers like some twisted surprise.

Bonus comparison:

Funny thing is — at the same time, I was reading another story:

"My Wife Slaps People Online."

There, the ML (Jungkook) had unknowingly tortured the MC (Taehyung) years ago to get him to train soldiers.

But later, when they start dating and Jungkook finds out the truth?

He lets Taehyung take revenge on him.

He even goes through the same torture — and worse — because he wants to atone.

That, right there? Redemption. Respect. Responsibility.

NOT whatever that omegaverse trash heap is trying to romanticize.

...

Update – Ch 47: So the author decided to call out one of the people criticizing her story. Sure, that person was a bit aggressive, but they didn’t even use slurs. And the author’s big defense? “I didn’t justify rape, I’m not romanticizing it.” A few readers backed her up, chirping the same tired lines — “it’s just a story, why be mad? If you don’t like it, don’t read it.”

No. Just no. This isn’t about whether the story is “bad” or “good.” It’s about the fact that rape was written so lightly, so carelessly, that it’s genuinely concerning. And what’s worse? Seeing readers casually say it’s fine because it’s fiction. It’s not fine. You’re basically telling younger, impressionable readers that being with your rapist is okay if they apologize until their soul bleeds.

The “it’s just fiction” defense is a moldy excuse that needs to be thrown in the trash. Media shapes minds. When you treat rape like a spicy little plot twist and shove the victim into a romance arc, you are actively normalizing abuse. You’re grooming your audience into thinking it’s forgivable if the abuser cries hard enough.

If you can’t handle a topic this serious with the gravity it deserves, you shouldn’t be writing it at all. What you’re doing isn’t “art” — it’s romanticizing trauma for cheap drama points. And frankly? That’s pathetic.

Screenshot section :

Ms Color current ..u still haven't said what you understood from me long Para ..to make it easier I will add that para here so that if u decide to read this ..I really want to you out of all the things I did say..what did u understand?

"Although Samantha was aggressive, she didn’t start using slangs — that began with you, and she only clapped back. In that sense, you’re both at fault for calling each other names.

Secondly, I don’t think Samantha has used slangs toward anyone else besides you. And personally, I don’t think visiting a mental hospital should be seen as a bad thing — just like we go to a hospital for physical health, therapy and psychiatric care are for brain and mind health.

She’s also not wrong in saying that rape isn’t comparable to something like a slap on the arm — it’s far worse, and it’s inhumane. The issue we have with stories like this is that they can make young readers feel like rape isn’t a big deal. You can see many are supporting the author’s portrayal, and that’s worrying. Rape is never okay.

Both she and I, in anger, asked others why they felt this story was good. I can admit the writing is skilled, but the plot itself risks normalizing rape — which could lead younger readers to justify it. In reality, the only place for rapists is jail."
