Description

Ruan Xiao, as the loser of the previous year’s business competition, suffered from crippled legs and lived a destitute life.

At the age of 34, he thought he would spend his remaining years in this remote town, sitting in a wheelchair, guarding his bookstore in solitude.

However, he never expected that those top Alphas who brought him down three years ago would come knocking on his door, one after another…

Clearly distinguishing gratitude and grievances, those Alphas forcibly transformed him from being an Alpha into an Omega.

Hey! Translator here!

I have to give this novel an honorary 5 stars since I spent the last few weeks translating it (°∀°)

If you want a cute romance fluffy sweet heartwarming bodycuddling feettickling romance story.. run far away from this!!

But truly here's my overall honest opinion:

... more>>
Spoiler

A classic example of a domino effect. Everything happens because of something else. As someone said a series of unfortunate events. We can't just blame one person since they all contributed in one way or another though Ruan Xiao was completely unaware that his negligence would've lead to all of this but he's not entirely to blame as it was due to many misunderstandings aswell.

[collapse]

Ending Spoiler:

Spoiler

The ending to me felt a little rushed. I really wanted to witness the two dogs get screwed over by Ruan Xiao.. ah he's too nice for his own good. He has a idgaf attitude to everything that as happened to him. We can only pray he does ruin their lives in someway or another. Besides that the ending felt bittersweet I nearly teared up typing 'End' (I'm a very sensitive person)

[collapse]

This was probably the fastest I've ever translated something.. ୧ (๏д๏) ୨ 10 chapters a day is truly crazy I have too much free time on my hands... I doubt I would do something like that ever again..

Honarary mentions: 李梅 who helped me alot she also helped recover chapters that I couldn't get a hold of.

My 爸爸 who brought me a faster laptop.

And everyone else who spent time to read my translation! (●・ω・) b

The year is ending it's great weather to get hotpot with friends and family! I hope you all have a nice Christmas spend it well with people you love. 拜拜 <<less

ML (?) is such an evil s*umbag that I audibly gasped when his little nefarious plot came out. Genuinely vile and he hasn’t changed at all after. ... more>>
Spoiler

The author is trying to push his regret arc or crematorium arc whatever but I want him dead fr, you cannot redeem yourself from that nor his following actions. “Oh, there’s a misunderstanding-“ DIE!!!!!!

[collapse]
The only happy ending for this story that I can see is MC ending up alone in his little bookstore and BY GOD am I only reading to see that happen. If him and EITHER of those s*umbags end up together... I don’t even know what I’ll do but I’ll be upset!!! <<less

I have masochistic tendencies so I read this novel, but I am not sure if my blood pressure can take anymore. Overall MC is too pitiful, so unlucky that it hurts my stomach. Both potential MLs don't make any sense.
Spoiler

In the past, they betrayed and tortured him, and now one of them is declaring love (which was his ex-love and right-hand man who betrayed and took over his company). Also, the other one is his enemy realizing that he is falling in love after making him lose his company, and every single penny + tricked him to turn him into an Omega r*ped him twice. This guy even dares to order him around and expect affection from him. Are you f*c*ing brain dead? How can they make it up for him? All of you go DIE.

[collapse]

I genuinely loved this if this plot was a reincarnation/revenge story. Because those MLs have no redemption.

Update: I improved the rating due to a recent development about MC's nephew Ruan Jin. With this, my only subject of hate is s*um MLs. Even though RJ did some bad things to MC, I can understand his feelings and motives.
Spoiler

He (RJ) was looking like a stereotypical green tea bit*h character but turns out that he was actually innocent and suffered a lot. Also, our MC was not completely innocent and made some mistakes in his nephew's upbringing. After adopting his nephew MC gave him away to another family and paid money to them to raise him, but never checked or visited his nephew once. So he never knew what the nephew had been through because of his negligence.

One word : tr*sh. The MLs are tr*sh, the ending is tr*sh, the MC doesn't make sense either. Who in their right mind accepts time and time again to forgive their ab*ser (s) ? I kept reading cuz I really wanted a different ending for him, not that tr*shy ending.

The translation is good but honestly?

0 stars, don't read it.

While I'm really satisfied to see reviewers absolutely tr*shing this, I'm not sure if we hate it for the same reasons. Of course, I'm sick of low effort ABO angst getting rave reviews and the creepiest readers alive celebrating HEs between victims and perpetrators. That said, let me be contrarian for a second. Based on the synopsis were you really shocked that the story turned out like that? Like, I can understand giving a bad review for a novel falsely advertising itself as fluff when it turns out to be... more>> hardcore ab*se, but you can't sincerely make that complaint here because it does exactly what it says on the tin. The novel's title alone is enough for anyone to know we're in for a rough ride. I actually think some of the negative reviews are telling on themselves. I think some people hate this because the author doesn't really excuse the MLs in anyway, and this makes the ending uncomfortable. Usually readers don't have to think very hard about s*um MLs at the end of the story because the author has cleared the way for them and the MC has been made to forgive them, but here the MLs don't grovel very sincerely and the MC doesn't forgive them. This leaves you somewhat awkwardly confronted by a question the author usually shields you from, 'am I happy to see a victim end up with his ab*ser (s) ?'.

Spoiler

Not only is there no whitewashing, but the MLs, and Raun Jin who also victimized the MC, face essentially no consequences for their actions. Xia Sheng returns his shares of Raun corp, but he still has his own entertainment business so it's not like he's being forced into a dead end like the MC was. In a way, isn't this actually more insulting - stealing the business MC had built his life and ruining him and then after he's no longer interested in it can just be handed back. Raun Jin also returns his shares, but this is also a bit of a joke because after MC dies he'll likely inherit the company anyway. Even if it's fake at least they make some offering. Feng Zhan straight up does nothing. Sure he investigates the truth surrounding Raun Jin, but that's something he should have done in the first place before he decided to destroy a person's life and become a rapist. I think if they wanted to show any sincerity they'd become omegas or they'd help Ruan Xiao become an alpha again. They should also both turn themselves into the police and be registered as s*x offenders.

[collapse]

Another reason I think readers didn't like this was because there's also no 'bun' or 'cub' or whatever infantalizing term y'all use to refer to a baby. I don't know what the exact percentage is, but the number of ABO/mpreg readers who are willing to forgive MLs who torture/rape/kill so long as they manage to get the MC to push out a child is alarmingly high. Because there's no child at the end of the story, you're not able to distract yourself from problems between the MC and the MLs, once again leaving some readers feeling uncomfortable.

The writing is average, there's a lot of clichés and some significant plot holes, and except for the MC there are basically no characters to root for or identify with. The MCs triumphal return being completed only with the rehabilitation of his legs felt kind of ableist and the tone of the final chapters seemed like unintentional self parody which left me a bit whiplashed. However, I liked that the MC continued to have a relationship with the MLs not because he forgave them or because they became worthy, but simply because they're useful and for now he's willing. I can't say whether it's more realistic than the usual completely unromantic 'he groveled, he regretted, he suffered, and then I forgave him' trope, but at least it's something different. <<less

3.5 stars but rounded up

3.5/5 angst.

    • Don't go into this story expecting romance because there's basically none. Just lots of suffering from the MC & s*um behaviour from the MLs.
    • Ending is
      Spoiler

      HE but debately open-ended

    • Who the MC ends up with:
      Spoiler

      both of the MLs

      [collapse]
4/5 translation.

    • There are some inconsistencies such as present tense being incorrectly used and sometimes paragraphs were repeated for no reason. However, the translation itself was still overall easy to read and flowed smoothly.
Expectations if you read this novel:

    • Misunderstandings (thoughts about one of the main misunderstandings:
      Spoiler

      I feel like all the harm towards the MC could've been avoided if an initial in-depth investigation towards the nephew's ab*se was done. However, given the place in the story when the truth was revealed, the serving point of that plot point was to officially white-wash the MC and serve as a mending point towards the MC & his nephew's relationship)

      [collapse]
    • s*um MLs
    • Abrupt ending (but with things resolved)
Personally, although I enjoy reading wife-chasing crematorium novels, it's under the condition that the leads' reconcile and have fluffy moments together. However, in this story, there is basically just endless suffering from the MC and frustration towards the MLs. Despite this, it was still an enjoyable read as I wanted to read something with angst and drama and the chapters are pretty short (I finished this within a day).

This.... is hard to rate, honestly. I was glued to this story and ready to flip tables every other chapter, which is strange because I normally do not like abusive crematorium type novels (unless they are comedies).

Then the end came super suddenly, and I was so upset on behalf of MC, I couldn't believe he

forgave his nephew

[collapse]
and was disappointed he didn't drag the two ML through hell.

But ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯ I enjoyed the heck out of it.

Let me start by saying I like to read books like this only when everyone gets the ending they deserve.

That did not happen in the book I had hope on the beginning since the MC seems strong-willed but in the end he was just a doormat,

... more>>
Spoiler

who was repeatedly humiliated, ignored, r*ped and treated like a lifeless doll to do as they please with, and still he forgave them in the end after everything they did to him. Granted he couldn't do much cause he's disabled, but the MC and literally every other side character seemed blind to all the f*cked up sh*t that was being done to him it's like no one took it seriously and just took it as a joke. The MLS pretend to care but continues to make the same mistakes. and this meaningless jealousy the MLS had against each other pissed me off so much. After the MC was r*ped by one the other would be jealous and say why can he hold you and not me like those dumbass think he's there willingly.

[collapse]

I ended up taking a peek of the last chapter because I was scared of where the story was going....... and I was right to be scared.

If I could give this story a 0 I would. Do not waste you time. <<less

If you like clingy and obsessive male lead combined with the MC suffering and the ML regretting with dog blood drama you will like this.

That being said I can't rate this 5 star because the ending never really ... more>>
Spoiler

resolved the issues for the three of them emotionally. Yes physically all the assets and companies were returned to the MC but the emotional damage he received was never really healed. The ending is he ends up with both MLs. But both MLs never solve their differences and the MC never forgives them for the hurt and pain they caused him. I don't like this because it's not a true happy ending.

[collapse]

Translation is clean but the snu-snu and smut is only in the first chapter. The rest of the story is censored which is disappointing. Still worth a read but I can't give it 5/5. <<less

NOT YET READING

I'm afraid to read because of the title. I believe "Dog Training" is referring to MC that being ab*sed again and again until he was used to it and accept it. I can only read angst if there's redemption or at least self respect from MC. But seeing other reviewers, I don't think this is for me. Still, I'm curious for the angst it's offer!

Maybe not for now.

This story is tr*sh. At first I liked the MC, he's strong willed and never gave up on life despite all the bad sh*t coming his way. But then he's kinda annoying me with how he allowed the MLS to do him. Just because he became an omega doesn't mean he should be controlled and he let it happen.

I've read toxic stories, but this is on a level I can't comprehend. The ML I hate the most is XS. Honestly I don't hate FZ that much, considering he didn't have... more>> any emotional attachment with the MC in the past, unlike the XS.

The translation is good. Other than that, just skip this story. I don't know what the author was thinking, writing this tr*sh. I was attracted by the adult tag, but only the first chapter has 18+ scene.

Warning! Skip this story. If you want to read an Abo story, toxic and all, stick with Korean bl novels. They do it best. <<less

Give it a try... Even if the end is like that... Life is unexpected too xD I give it a 8 out of 10 because it hooked me up and my mind couldn't be more happy for my MC, maybe it could.... But its okey if he is happy or at least he is okey with himself... I don't know what else to say... If you are able to read to the end it means something inside of you liked it, solo please don't give to bad of a review... more>> u.u the translator did a good job!! Thanks... <<less

Honestly read this in one day and the author needs to grow some as a writer. A complex story like this needs some resolution and author didn’t deliver in the way I thought they would. The drama was there but there were too many characters for them to juggle.

... more>>
Spoiler

The male pregnancy story line was something that could have been to make the 2 MLs feel suffering for their actions but instead the baby lasted all of three lines of the story before being thrown into the biohazard waste bag.

[collapse]

I also wish the author had wrote out more about the medical condition of the nephew. Of course, we never get a full answer for that.

Two stars because the thought was there but the execution was very poor. I understand as a fellow writer that writing relationships and conflict like this can be difficult but having an editor is crucial.

For anyone who wants to read this, please be aware that the story ends how it begins. Unresolved questions and concerns that get brushed away. <<less

Was gonna read this since the chapters were short and easy to read but the prologue was really off-putting for me that I couldn't help but sneak a glance at the comments here, turns out my gut was right, this novel looks like the ones I really wouldn't enjoy unless you pay me to say it. Im sorry but never will I like stockholm syndrome, ever, even if the MC ends up with both men. I'd thought that despite the prologue basically spoiling the audience a scene of what was... more>> about to happen, I still held onto the hope that the MC will leave that ml's ass and find a better, more kinder one, but instead, he got himself a replica of the man (a red flag, i'd say). Anyways, I was also a bit displeased at the first few chps since the MC basically let the ML stay in his place, like I get that he's patient and all but you could have just called the police or the ambulance on that man since his wound had reopened. The MC himself said that he was no saint or something like that but hesitated on leaving the ML despite the MC fully knowing that this was the very man that pushed him into his current state. His thoughts and actions are both contradicting since he clearly stated that he felt resentment to the point that he had no choice but to be indifferent. I mean, like who wouldn't? The company you've built brick by brick to reach the top had suddenly been taken by the palm of your hands, who actually wouldn't feel aggrieved to that? And yet here he is, going soft for the man when its still the first few chapters in.

I know this review might totally be wrong since I've only read until chapter 10 and I don't know what would happen after that, but ye, this is my current thoughts at the moment. Honestly, its fine since it was previously written that it was an HE, implying that the MC would be happy in the end, I mean, like, props to you but I aint still reading it. All that suffering he'll experience would probably be worth it for him, I guess. <<less
