Idk, I don't really think it should have broke that 9.0 rating. It's good but it's not great. Tbh, the ML is exactly like all the other alphas, if not worse. His only real passing mark is that he didn't drive himself on the MC but he does say all the creepy shit out load at the end there. This universe sounds like hell tbh and the alphas do absolutely just get to run rampant. Whatever social unrest was being suggested at the beginning is completely forgotten about just as soon as it is said. Honestly this world seems like a ticking time bomb waiting to erupt where the alphas could find themselves wiped out because of the injustice. But again, it's just forgotten about. Same with the MLs pack of alpha friends. They weren't ever explained in any way.
The MC literally just ends up falling in line. Idk, it just wasn't all that good to me. The world doesn't show any signs of being good or getting better, the ML is the biggest shitty alpha , he just seems to get a pass because his obsession keeps him 100% loyal to the MC but he fully utilizes the shitty and utterly corrupt system with absolutely no hint of disliking it despite having supposedly suffered because of it and despite that his omega has vastly suffered because of it. The MC just ends up falling into line for what is expected of him by society as a recessive omega, especially one who caused an awakening. I wouldn't say he grew at all either, if anything it just felt like he resigned himself to his fate as if to say, "This is how things are supposed to be, no point in fighting it."
Idk, it just didn't strike any "this is great, I'm going to tell my friends about it" cords. It was a very meh story.
Honestly, for the first 4 chapters I wasn't even really sure what the fuck was happening. Is it just terrible translation? It felt like jumping from thing to thing to thing with no explanation. I was wondering if pages hadn't loaded or if chapters were missing. It was jarring. And what everyone was saying just wasn't making sense, not to mention I could scarcely figure out who was talking. If it wasn't for the images I'd have been 10000% lost in what was happening.
So yea, that alone makes me say that this story is trash. I mean, absolute dog shit writing and pacing. Then you throw on what the story actually is, and yea, it's disgusting. I'm not surprised its rating is in the low 8.0s but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see it down in the 7.0s.
Also I need to add that the first 4 chapters and the rest of this felt like 2 different stories. Cuz he "saved" the omega in chapter one and that was clearly when they had just met, then almost immediately he had to move away and didn't see him again until college, but then in chapter 5 the author acted like they had been the best of childhood friends?????????????? Lots of shared memories, his mom is talking about the omega like she was very familiar with him, she had a box filled with letters from him, the MC says that the boy communicated with him just through these notes as if they had spent so much time together??????? That doesn't line up at all with chapter 1 or how he seems to barely recognize him at all when meeting again years later.
Idk, just such a disjointed story.
