## Chapter
- number: 1
- release_date: 2025-03-13

### Summary
The first chapter serves as a prologue that immediately immerses readers in heavy foreshadowing and emotional turmoil. The audience found the narrative confusing and non-linear, jumping between scenes that hint at the entire plot, including a potential sex tape, a tense encounter on an island, and a disturbing interaction with an older man that sparked fears of coercion. The central theme identified by readers is betrayal, with a key line of dialogue suggesting a painful future conflict between the main characters. The art style generated significant discussion, particularly the extreme physical contrast between the leads; the Alpha, Seo Seunghyun, is described as massive and "titan-like," while the Omega, Lee Youngjin, is depicted as incredibly small, pretty, and frail. This stark size difference was a point of fascination for some and a source of criticism for others. Many readers felt the prologue spoiled the story's major twists, yet it effectively established a tone of angst and heartbreak, leaving the audience bracing for an intense and tragic narrative.
