Description
The sensation of floating on water. The smell of rusted iron. A hutch surrounded on all sides. “What is this now?” A face as cold as the winter air. “What I was supposed to receive was…” A scar above his eyelid and, “Not this kind of mutt.” Fierce eyes that looked as if they could devour someone. “…Ah.” And the salty scent of the sea. This was a world Jung Heeyeon had never seen before. Not even once. — Opening his eyes inside an empty container, Jung Heeyeon follows a man he’s never met before without resistance, simply because the man is a dominant alpha. Meanwhile, Director Yeon receives a call from Chief Nam, who sent him a “gift,” and learns that the omega in the container is related to Chairman Jung, a figure from a dark past. “Heeyeon.” “… Yes?” “Are you nineteen years old?” “Yes.” “So you’re a baby.” “I’m not a baby.” “Babies usually hate being called a baby.” “It’s not like that… I mean, I’m nineteen…?” At this earnest reply, Director Yeon lets out a soft laugh. “You’re going to be a handful, aren’t you?” “I’ll try… not to be a burden.” “Don’t worry, Heeyeon.” “……” “I like things that require a lot of attention.” The man, who brought Jung Heeyeon into his house, gives a kind suggestion. “Should I call it a deal instead?” “A deal?” “Because I need you.”

My Thoughts on Dog on the Hutch
"Dog on the Hutch" is a complicated read, to say the least. Diving into this omegaverse tale, I found myself experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, and I can definitely see why readers have such diverse opinions on it. It's a novel that lingers in your mind long after you've finished reading, prompting you to consider the themes it explores.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, I was drawn in by the author's writing style. There's a certain beauty to the prose that makes it easy to get lost in the world they've created. I was ready to enjoy a dark, mature romance with a cautious protagonist. There is an immediate hook that got me invested in the story.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is how the leads function as a unit. I really appreciated that the central conflict wasn't between the main characters, but rather an external force they face together. Watching their relationship develop amidst the chaos and challenges thrown their way was genuinely satisfying. The loyalty and unity they demonstrate are compelling. I also liked how the past plays a big role, adding layers to the characters and their motivations.
Areas of Concern
⚠️ Spoiler Warning ⚠️
However, I also have to address some of the issues that made me uneasy. The MC's upbringing, particularly his naivete regarding consent and healthy relationships, is a significant point of contention. The power imbalance between the leads, especially given the MC's background, is hard to ignore. The ML's possessiveness, while perhaps intended as a sign of affection, can feel a little too controlling considering the MC's limited agency. I can see how some readers might find these elements disturbing or triggering, as it treads into potentially problematic territory.
Final Verdict
"Dog on the Hutch" is a novel that demands a thoughtful and critical approach. It's not a lighthearted read, and it certainly won't appeal to everyone. While the writing is beautiful and the plot has moments of genuine connection, the underlying themes of power dynamics and consent require careful consideration. For readers who enjoy darker stories and are willing to engage with complex and potentially uncomfortable topics, "Dog on the Hutch" might be worth exploring, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart. I'd recommend going in with open eyes and a willingness to grapple with the problematic elements alongside the more compelling aspects of the story.
