Aside of the great visuals and amazing dynamic, I think people don't give enough credit to this work. Of course, it is very famous (as it should be) and I see a lot of good reviews too. But I realised that some new readers and inexperienced audience don't realise the layers to this, and are very upset with a few things. As much as I understand their disappointment, I'll still try to explain something. This is supposed to be an omegaverse. And the author has done a spectacular job at depicting it. The sexual assault is definitely not justifiable. But I would still like to remind them that this world is far from normal. It's fictional, and the very foundation of their nature is supposed to be more close to primal instincts, that of beasts. So it wouldn't be completely fair to judge things based on our morals, from even simply just an academic and neutral stance. Once again, I'm not gonna say Su-Ah should be let off. There are stories where alphas come over their instincts and manage to not lose their mind. I've always admired such characters, and truly think that's the best turn of events. However, these happen in very rare cases. It's almost like getting shot around the heart and somehow surviving. Impossible? No. Rare? Yes. But in such stories, the author somewhat brushes it off after putting a slight spotlight on the alpha. It's almost like the author tries to glaze and sugarcoat the story so the audience remains satisfied? Or maybe because they don't want their character to lose to primal instincts. This arises a question- would it really be possible to hold oneself back, as easily as us readers think it would be? And I personally think the author has kept it very logical and real in this regard. The depth in the emotions and backstory of both the characters are so well thought that I almost forget this is a completely fictional setting. As much as some people might disagree, this is one of the most logical omegaverse stories I've read. It doesn't seem too ridiculous, that I'm constantly reminded that it's made up. Blended with real life scenarios despite a different backdrop, this could actually become a whole research paper. Given how some authors take liberty to tweak details of omegaverse in their own versions, this particular one actually does justice. So much so, I could actually imagine this story sounding very plausible in such a universe. Most of this is from a neutral standpoint, keeping aside whether the characters are right or wrong. And I feel the author should be praised for such a well planned world in this story.
