This manhwa’s rating should be lower than it is
im always so confused with people like u bc this is actually a lighthearted, well written story in a sea of such ass manwhas with no substance like no plot, no character arc, stupid ass leads, longgg dragged out nonsense angst and misunderstandings etc but yall wanna come for this- anyone who reads even the first chapter of this can tell the author put thought into it
There's so many other stories on here that are absolute hot mess garbage with ratings way too high, so I think this manhwa does what does well and for that, it absolutely has its place as a 9+ story (so far). It depicts the college life well (feels like playing an indie coming of age game at times), the butterflies of crushing for someone hard, it has a cozy vibe to it while having some angst and tension to keep you interested, and it has two main characters with compelling enough stories. What rating would you give it and why is it not worth its current rating? What is it you don't like about it? I'm curious because I myself am picky and opinionated af so it's nice to see others be critical of stories.
I’m curious, why do u like this one more, I love this manhua too, but I think I like omega complex more because I love best friend trope more than whatever this trope is (I don’t wanna say mentor student trope cause it sounds pedo, which it doesn’t classify as that imo cause he didn’t wait for him to get older, he rejected him and happened to meet him again when they were older)
That’s true, the other one was very grounded, it wasn’t crazy plot it was just daily life of a couple, although I think from what I heard in comments when reading the novel is that the more interesting plot point has not started yet (it goes into his family background etc but my website didn’t update that far with the novel) I think I just need to reread it cause I feel like I’m forgetting stuff with this one, cause rn my memory of this one is basically, kid gets rejected cause he’s a kid, goes through some crazy puberty stuff, remeets his tutor crush hoping and thinking he doesn’t recognise him, turns out he does recognise him and they get together
Be honest with yourselves, look at stories that have similar ratings like “dawn of the dragon, Smyrna and capri, should I write you a love letter instead, guiding hazard, to be or not to be, bad friend”, to name a few. This doesn’t even come close. And yes there are a lot of stories with garbage writing that has high ratings but this rating is wayyy to high for this story. Sigh
Dawn of the Dragon is ass tbh, Guiding Hazard is of course on a whole other level (my favorite guideverse), but again, Alpha Trauma does what it does well and for its realm/genre of college, school life, slice of life angsty little setting, it's good. Sure, it's not Banana Scandal, but it doesn't have to be to earn its place in the top rated stories. Complexity isn't always needed. Simplicity, especially good simplicity, can be written well and it's not always easy to execute, funnily enough. Omega Complex was, indeed, weaker as a story overall compared to Alpha Trauma, but even apart from that, as a stand alone, Alpha Trauma is good. (Personally, it's not a 5/5 for me as of now, but I can see why others would rate it that way) It's not groundbreaking, it's not as complex in characterizations or plot, but it's also not that simplistic or boring. It still leaves you questioning the motives of the characters and who they really are. Tastes still differ and you can absolutely see it as a below 9 story. I've read stories myself that are good on paper, like 9+, but just didn't vibe with them so I rated them at like 2-3 stars out of 5.
if that’s how u really feel idk why ur reading this LOL the person before me described it best but even tho it’s not anything groundbreaking it’s so well rounded and it’s a very nicely structured story with strong characters so why wouldn’t it get a high rating lmao some of yall act so pretentious thinking u need some deep story with high angst and morally grey characters or some shit to be super good I mean damn ur reading a slice of life omegaverse for that standard it’s great
It's because many people can't hold two or more truths or opinions at the same time and just sit with that. I get it, I, too, can acknowledge a story is good and still differentiate between its objective quality, my subjective reading of it and interpretation, and my own personal taste. Now, some stories out here are, indeed, pure garbage that's super overglazed and overrated (and I never miss a moment to call that out lol, but I do take my time to pick apart why that is most of the time), but for the most part, many are just fine and it's down to some details that could be better and personal preferences, taste, etc.









Gosh! I wish I could post a sticker on here so you guys can understand how I feel right now
