Description
The doomed mercenary Kinain, having lost everything due to his brother’s scheme and despairing over the death of his lover, spirals out of control. While searching for a way to restore the city turned to stone due to his rampage, he heads to the dragon’s palace, enticed by the promise that becoming a dragon’s mate can grant him anything he desires. However, “You’re quite unlucky, human. You could have died without pain right now.” The dragon he meets harbors nothing but hatred for humans and plans to torment him in any way possible… Even stranger is that Kinain, upon seeing the dragon, is reminded of his deceased lover. Despite having no resemblance in appearance or personality, the dragon’s eyes, identical to those of his lover, play a cruel trick of fate. * “Don’t mistake spending me rut with you as an invitation to be my mate. You’re merely a plaything to pass the time.” “I know that. So I hope you’ll soon find a proper mate.” The dragon finding a good mate and becoming happy was all Kinain wished for in the little time he had left. “…You want me to find a mate quickly, huh?” Why did it feel like the dragon’s mu*derous intent had grown even thicker? “Then you…” “Ugh, wait!” “Are you going out to seduce another alpha?” The dragon gripped Kinain’s wrist tightly, as if to break it, and whispered in a low, gloomy voice. “No. You can’t do that. Even if I find a mate, you’ll still have to remain here.”

My Thoughts on The Doomed Mercenary’s Last Chance
"The Doomed Mercenary's Last Chance" is a web novel that throws you headfirst into a world dripping with classic BL elements: dragons, magic, and a hefty dose of the omegaverse. It's a wild ride, and while it definitely kept me hooked, it's not without its bumps along the way.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a complex plot and the intriguing premise of a doomed mercenary getting a second chance. The story wastes no time setting up the central mystery surrounding the MC's past and the ML's selective amnesia. I found myself immediately invested in uncovering the secrets hidden within the ancient script and the origins of the magical beasts plaguing the realms.
What Works Well
The world-building is undeniably captivating. The author has crafted a rich tapestry of lore, complete with gods, dragons, and intricate magical systems. I especially enjoyed the dynamic between Kinaine and Asad. Seeing them navigate their complicated relationship, fraught with misunderstandings and past traumas, was genuinely compelling. Kinaine is a character I found myself rooting for. His selflessness and dedication to his people make him incredibly likable, and his interactions with those around him showcase his inherent goodness.
Areas of Concern
However, the ML, Asad, is a tough nut to crack. His initial characterization can be grating, and I found myself struggling to connect with him. It took a significant chunk of the story for him to become more palatable, which might deter some readers. And, even though I appreciated the "mystery" aspect, I did feel that the plot could get bogged down at times with unnecessary complexities.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "The Doomed Mercenary's Last Chance" offers a compelling blend of fantasy, romance, and tragedy. If you're a fan of BL tropes and don't mind a slow-burn redemption arc for the ML, this novel might just be your cup of tea. Just be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions and a story that demands patience. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
