That's about the only praise I can give this at this time. The other pieces I think I remember liking, despite the weasel-like features of the character's faces in the other works. This one tho? No. I hate everyone except MC but do find him to be a complete idiot.
When the other friends were talking about him having good memory, and thinking logically, I found myself wanting to react the meme of the guy looking around like, Wtf you talking about? MC has been a grade A idiot this entire time. ML is trash. Extremely manipulative, can't just you know, say how he feels? Nope, has to do a bunch of elaborate shit which has peeked with giving the love of his life questionable illegal drugs to hopefully turn him into an omega..... I wish I could understand that jump in logic. Idk what's going on with MLs mother, but I don't care what sort of excuse they attempt to give her later, she deserves to rot in hell right along with literally everyone who has uttered anything about her. In fact, I think she deserves to suffer hell in life and in death. I wish every terrible thing possible to happen to that woman.
The shitty ass characters aside, the pacing of this story is crap. I feel like the author has really attempted to hold onto this mystery that just doesn't need to be a mystery. By doing so theyve stretched the story out too long and not given us the proper amount of backstory at the right times. So we cannot fathom how it is that the MC just buys whatever the ML says. Throw onto this completely pointless mentions and arches in the story. The entire first arch with the "pretending" just flat out didn't need to happen in any way shape or form. Especially when you throw in the other most useless throw away mention of the plot being that the MC has dated a man before and even attempted sex. Before that forgotten mention it was assumed MC just liked women so the ML was tricking him to show him the pleasures of anal. But nope, both of these interactions turn out to be utterly meaningless with the first arch being SUCH a waste of time and paper.
A better structure would have been to have given us a broken memory backstory of the boys(do as to give the mystery aspect that the author is desperate to have), move into modern day where alpha jackass is too nervous to confess his feelings to his bisexual beta best friend, and then this professor comes in and we can start the real story only like 5 chapters in. Also, we need proper backstory for the ML sooner. Honest to God, we should have had everything we have now AND some more in this story like 2 seasons ago. Literally no reason to keep his shitty childhood a secret. Instead we had slop for a season and a half and actual story afterwards. Literally almost nothing from before Professor Cha's arrival is really needed for what is happening in the core story.
I have a pretty good idea where this story is going to go, and my hopes are not high. I don't find myself thinking that this will be one I look back fondly on. I think it'll just be another one in the crowd.
