The only good thing to come out of this is 2 things:
One, character design, love that everyone looks unique and stylish, really makes it feel like the MC is a popular kid that plays around and that the friends do too. ML contrast this well and even Hikaru has that childish look that tells you that he's someone with no real world experience at all.
Two, the concept of "Mates vs Fated". A lot of Omegaverse stories sort of use the two as interchangeable terms even when it's established that "Fated mates" are:
A.) Fairytale B.) Ultra-Rare C.) A kind of media term for celebrity couples on TV(oddly specific yet I've seen a few actually do this (idk why though, plot convenience most likely?))
(although more story-wise, "mates" for the first hand of the story, then "fated mates" upon nearly the finale)
It's actually nice for once to see the "what if so and so was with someone else (most likely the second lead), would they abandon them for ~True Love ~" scenario actually happen and aside from the ML being a creep at the end (really dude? "You need me to comfort your inner beast/monster" bitch ain't that you??? Should've ended the pairing lowkey at least then maybe the author would go full psycho omega top), the concern about accidentally raping your true mate and the idea of leaving your supposedly "forever lover" for a 'better version' is especially interesting, actively choosing your partner when technically there's someone 'perfect' waiting for you is an incredible display of love and unique way to pull out the "I'm not good enough " cliche!
Such a shame that it isn't used more (although I will admit, it's hard to pull off, even this author barely passed in my eyes). I think that had the MC's trauma been explained more in detail about what happened, it could've been more tragic if it was revealed that that's what the MC's dad did to his mom and that's why he's hesitant to mate/mark someone.
Anyways long rant out of the way, future me don't reread this EVER. We wasted too much time on this trash because we thought the author just had a weak 3 chapters, when in reality, the author just had a decent 2-3 chapters of think pieces and nothing else.
