Okay, I really enjoyed this. It was slow paced but somehow still well paced. I really liked the characters and the way the author delved into who they are, what their motivations are, the way they change and develop. It was almost (almost) like a character study. We really got to know them, as much as you can get to know characters in such a short story. I love how the author also pointed out how absurd the world of an omegaverse is, it was honestly really funny. At the same time, it also made a point about prejudice and how we shouldn’t judge people based on stereotypes. It was interesting to see the mc go through that and realize the way he is judging other people - people who are just trying to live normal lives, just like he is.
I can see that some people disliked the side couple but I honestly liked that part of the story as well. Mr Lee is a trooper who deserves the best. I enjoyed getting to know the couple and hearing their backstory.
I really, really liked the plot with Gido, it was kind of heartbreaking but in a bittersweet way. I don’t think I’ve seen a plot like this elsewhere. (Spoiler from here). Realizing that both Gido and the mc had feelings for each other in the past but they both held back from confessing, too young and too scared to ruin their friendship. And with time, the feelings faded and instead they stayed close friends. The thought of what could’ve been if they had just been honest. I’ve gone through something similar and it’s a bizarre feeling of really appreciating this friend in a, now, purely platonic manner but knowing that it maybe could’ve been more. That doesn’t mean you want it to be more any longer but the thought still lingers. The author portrayed this in a beautiful way.

Yeah, just a great story.
