Description
A beautiful person with warm brown eyes. Though generally kind to everyone, their strong principles and unwavering character make them admired by peers and juniors. After losing recent memories due to a sudden accident three months ago, they experience an inexplicable sense of déjà vu when encountering a junior named Sanho during school classes with their incomplete memories. * Soo: Baek Sanho (24 years old), submissive omega. With black eyes and hair contrasting against white skin, their small face with delicate features reminds one of a finely crafted porcelain doll. Due to prejudice against their omega status, they act defensively toward people who treat them carelessly with biased views. When senior Siwoo approaches Sanho, who has never had anything to call their own, Sanho becomes consumed by an intense desire to possess and monopolize Siwoo, who breaks down their defensive barriers. *When to read this: When you want to see an alpha and omega who are obsessed with each other and want to monopolize each other because they are each other’s only one. *Relatable quote: “You’re mine. You said you were mine, senior.” Siwoo, the only son of the JR Group and a dominant alpha, loses his recent memories due to an accident three months ago. In an attempt to recover his memories, Siwoo returns to his daily routine. In his first major class after the accident, he meets Sanho, a junior student who catches his attention – someone he doesn’t remember but feels strangely familiar, giving him a sense of déjà vu. When Siwoo is invited to a drinking gathering with people from the same major, he decides to go, hoping he might meet Sanho there and understand the source of this familiar feeling. As if by fate, he does encounter Sanho there, but someone causes him to lose consciousness. When Siwoo opens his eyes, he’s shocked to find Sanho also bound in chains like himself. As he regains his senses, Sanho’s unusually calm attitude makes him realize something strange is going on-.

My Thoughts on Confined Pheromone
"Confined Pheromone" promised a thrilling dive into the omegaverse with a possessive, yandere-esque lead. While the premise had me hooked, the execution, unfortunately, left me wanting more. It wasn't a terrible read, but it certainly didn't live up to its full potential.
First Impressions
The synopsis and tags alone were enough to pique my interest. Amnesia, obsessive love, and a strong protagonist in a mature, R-18 setting? Sign me up! I was ready for a rollercoaster of emotions and morally grey characters. However, as I delved deeper, I found myself struggling to connect with the story.
What Works Well
Despite its flaws, "Confined Pheromone" had moments that shone. There were glimpses of the intense, possessive dynamic I craved, particularly during a specific scene where the protagonist threatens to lock up the object of his affection. This moment, raw and filled with tension, truly captured the essence of the yandere trope. The initial concept of a world where omegas are treated so poorly also had the potential to add depth and conflict to the narrative.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue stemmed from the inconsistent writing and translation. The frequent shifts in timelines felt jarring and confusing, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. Character motivations, particularly those of Siwoo, were perplexing at times. His overly kind nature, even towards those who wronged him, made it hard to understand his feelings and desires. I also found the inclusion of irrelevant character POVs, especially towards the end, to be distracting and unnecessary. The ending, in general, felt rushed and left several questions unanswered. The potential for a truly dark and twisted romance was there, but it ultimately fell short of expectations.

Final Verdict
"Confined Pheromone" is a mixed bag. While it has moments of brilliance and a captivating premise, the execution ultimately hinders its potential. The confusing timeline, inconsistent character motivations, and rushed ending left me feeling disappointed. It's an okay read to pass the time, but don't expect a masterpiece. I'd give it a cautious recommendation, with the caveat that it may not satisfy those seeking a truly hardcore yandere experience.
