Yeah I've never read the novel either, but here is the spoiler I got from ilovecats0829 when I asked them about Way if you'd like to read it. It does also give some spoilers on Charlie's motives as well though, just fair warning. As I kinda said in my previous comment though, I wouldn't put too much stock in the spoilers because the original poster said that the series already has changed a lot compared to the novel.

"So in the novel Way is an enigma sent by Babe’s adoptive father (also Way’s adoptive father) to impregnate him to and have powerful babies. Way has manipulative powers and he uses them on Babe. But he actually does not want to have Babe if it’s manipulated completely, so that’s why he has spent so much time waiting in a one sided love. Way does love Babe in his own way, but he kinda forces his feelings on him. And one night after Babe says that he does not see him as anything more than a friend, Way hypnotizes him and tries to force himself on him. Charlie saves Babe. In the novel you can see that even though Charlie also lies (and it’s wrong), he does it to save Babe from his adoptive father and so that Babe can live life like he wants to without worrying about his father. Whereas Way wants to change Babe to live the way that he wants to, and have children with him (something that Babe has been very clear he never wants).

But I do think there’s going to be major changes in Ways character because in the novel there’s no WayPete. I think in the series he might not be so villain. But that’s just my theory."

This novel honestly sounds really interesting, I really want to find the english translation.

I really liked this series when I first started watching it, but it's gone downhill a little bit because it's dragging things out somewhat and there are certain choices I don't completely understand.
Also the editing this episode was not the best, it felt kind of all over the place. For example, while I enjoyed Mike and Jack's moment in the shower [🔥🔥] it just kind of felt kind of random.. There was no real build to that scene happening, it just was there and then gone.. I know they set up last episode that Jack has started to have some kind of feelings for Mike, but that scene came right after them all ganging up on Zee so it kind of, like I said, just felt a little random.
I'm also surprised at how little screen time and relationship progression we've got with the main couple. And I mean scenes with just them two, not them and the whole group doing volleyball. We honestly haven't really gotten a lot of them and the ones we have gotten there is no tension, just anger and hatred. Which I get, it wouldn't happen overnight there has to be some sort of build to it, but I guess I just kind of expected SOMETHING to be happening by now since we're like halfway through the series almost. I mean I guess we did get that accidental kiss... It looks like next episode it'll pick up and we will be getting that though so yay!
Despite my complaints and me saying it's gone a little downhill, I am still loving this series [except for Zee and the mom, they both annoy the hell out of me 🙄] and I'm interested to see how it'll finish!

Oh, I agree to all of this. Way is super selfish and a master manipulator. That is why I said he annoyed me this episode, or better words would be pissed me off.
What he said to Babe was so messed up and 100% just to get in his head and reel him back in. Thats why I said him saying Babe should go back to the way he was makes it seem like the changes in him are negative or bad when they definitely arent.
Mostly what I meant by my post is that I can see both sides. We are only 3 episodes in and we havent gotten anyone's history yet aside from Babe's. Yes, Way's actions are definitely fueled by selfishness and jealousy, but I can also see the best friend protection in him as well. Yes, he is in love with Babe and the brozone definitely negatively affects his emotions, but based on what we've seen so far I can still see a guy who cares about his best friend.
I can definitely see why a lot of people, myself included, can see his actions as just someone who's selfish and jealous and wants his best friend for himself. At the same time though, he knows that Babe is a special Alpha and that people want to use him. I do think his cautiousness about Charlie is probably mostly due to his jealousy that Babe has gotten attached to him, but he hasn't done anything major in the series yet for me to not think that his or Babe's history could be part of his motivations.
I'm trying not to put too much power behind novel spoilers I've read because I know novel to series usually changes a lot, but I will say a novel spoiler I read does make me a little more wary of Way now though.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all that!
Wow.. I didnt expect that! It'll definitely be interesting to see what direction they take this in the series and if they'll still keep him a villain. I imagine if it's official that he's paired with someone in the series that he's not going to be completely, or maybe at all, villanized.
The novel sounds really interesting though, I may have to see if I can find an english translation.

This series is quickly soaring to the top of my favorite series airing list right now! Sea and Jimmy are both doing phenomenal jobs and it's beyond amazing so far 🥰

I'm seriously loving this series so far! I'm still so curious about what Charlie's motives are and if he has real feelings for Babe yet or if its still all an act..
I felt so bad for Babe this episode though 🥺 He was finally opening up and getting close to someone only to find out they are hiding something from him and could just be using him..
Way definitely didnt help matters. I appreciate the protective best friend side of him who knows Charlie is hiding something and wants to save Babe from that, but he still annoyed me this episode though.
Telling Babe to go back to the way he was, when he's clearly happier now, is messed up. I get telling him to be cautious about Charlie and not be so trusting so fast, but he didn't have to word it that way. It makes it seem like the way Babe is now is bad or negative and that's the part that irritated me. Getting too trusting too fast is definitely a negative, but him opening up to someone and falling for someone is not and with Way saying what he did that's how it comes across. I don't know what happened in their past or why Way is like he is, but I really hope him saying all of that wasn't motivation from his jealousy and feelings for Babe. I feel like a minority here, but I do really like his character. Setting his feelings for Babe aside, he is a very good and protective best friend. I 100% don't fault him for being cautious of people especially given the fact that Babe is a special kind of Alpha and he knows people are ready to use him. I just really hope we get some sort of backstory for them soon that explains why Way said those things and is so untrusting. And I'm hoping and praying he doesn't become some sort of villain character like people keep saying/guessing.

Right! When that happened I was like 'You aren't even the one that beat him, calm the fuck down.'
Honestly, how lame do you have to be to brag about winning to a man who's beat you every time you have raced/challenged him, when your new teammate is the one who beat him instead of you 😒
100% agree! No ship for Winner, nobody deserves to be stuck with him 😑

Definitely not a bad thing to notice the details. I noticed too and completely agree! That was honestly such perfection and just added to the moment 😍

Same, I think Pooh is doing a great job! I completely agree. I am loving Nut's acting as Way so far, but I cant imagine him as Charlie. I've never read the novel, but just based on how Charlie is in these three episodes, I definitely feel like Pooh fits better.
I'm assuming based on what you said in your post that you've read the novel, so can I ask for a mini novel spoiler? I know they may not stick completely to the novel because as you said your post they've already done some major changes, but I was just wondering does Way become a villain in the novel?
I'm very on the fence with how I feel about Way. I think some of what he said to Babe is very manipulative and partially motivated by his feelings for him, but I can also see the protective best friend who knows that Charlie is hiding something and just wants to protect Babe. I've seen multiple people mention them thinking he's going to become a villain later in the series and personally, overall, I like his character so I'm really kind of hoping they don't take that kind of cliche route of him turning into a villain just because his feelings aren't reciprocated. To me he seems to care too much about Babe for him to turn into a villain just because of that, so I was just kind of curious how it turns out in the novel.
Sorry for the long post lol

I'm really late on posting this and I'm sure if anyone needed it theyve found another way to watch by now, but I promised I would so I'll post anyways.
Here is the link for episode 2 on iQIYI for anyone who needs it for a VPN:
https://www.iq.com/play/pit-babe-the-series-episode-2-19i2bnbh8ag?lang=en_us

I'm praying Guy pushes Wahl away next episode before anything happens because please no 🙄🙏

My thoughts exactly!

I liked the ending as well, there was just alot of drama that felt dragged out. I feel like that series could have ended at 10 episodes and still been really good.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.. I dont hate it, but I'm having a hard time staying interested for some reason.
I also feel like its going to become another Loneliness Society where a ton of drama is added in and dragged out through the series.. Which started to get draining with that series. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but considering the airdate on MDL has a question mark at the end, and people have told me that means the episode count isnt set in stone, doesnt bode well to me.
I dont know.. I think might put this on hold and just wait till its over before deciding to watch.

You're welcome!

You're welcome. Yeah, I dont really get why only a direct link works either, but I'm glad it does though.
I'll try to remember to post the episode links on here each week if I don't see someone else do it.

True! Based on his dialogue and Pit Babe's reaction to the news, there is clearly already some connection there.

Try this link:

I've seen some people say that you need direct links to episodes for vpns to work on iQIYI. I don't know if it'll actually work, but I figured it was worth a try.

I could definitely see that happening. Though with the type of person Pit Babe is, its hard to see him letting someone take advantage of him. Unless its Charlie cause he already seems to be falling hard, despite pretending otherwise lol.

Mini spoiler question for anyone who has read the source material..
Is Charlie really an alpha or is he masking his omega scent somehow? I'm not sure why he would do that, but I'm just not used to omegaverse having two alphas together so that kinda threw me.
Pit Babe did say though that he doesnt have the pheromone like other Alpha's do, so it makes them the perfect match [I forget how he exactly worded this]. I wasnt sure if maybe this world is different then the few omegaverse stories I've read before so I was just curious.
