Critique….

So… I am gonna give my 2 cents here… and it is not gonna be positive… so if you are not able to accept this and the only reply that gets in your mind is ‘don’t like, do not read’, yeah thanks, I know that already… but I like reading all kind of stuff to have my own opinion so I tried to read this again after the end of the first season and also mind you, I am a fan of cute small top and big bottom as well to begin with.

Honestly I have no idea how this work can be at 9 on reviews… and having a 2nd season…

First of all, I read a few comments and I am stupefied… no one is really calling out the ‘grape’ on their first ‘nut scene’… we know that it does not matter the ‘role’, it is still to be considered as such…. right?
If this was ‘reversed’, I can 100% confirm how most comments would be in relation to that… but none here. I am gonna say it, that really put me off here, because it does not need to be there to begin with in this type of story.

ABO Nonsense
I wanna preface that I am not a big fan, but I also read ‘unconventional’ ABO pairings…. when they make sense, when they make sense (yes i am saying this twice).
You cannot really make me believe that an Alpha, in a Rut, in a front of a Beta, with no pheromones, and his first instinct is to be di**ed down, and the Beta there, not affected by the pheromones at all, just there ‘receiving’.
You can like the pairing dynamic sure, but how can you call a story ‘good/recommended’, if the base of it does not make sense to begin with in the world-building they chose the story to be in?

Overall the rest of the story is cute, but very basic, inclusive of the Omega ‘antagonist’.. nothing really new.

So the story is good for what? Because the Top is taller and the Bottom is an Alpha? Even with the ‘pseudo-grape scene’ in it? Because that is also all I see mentioned in the comments…

If you like this pairing dynamic? I recommend ‘In your wake’, which makes more sense in a way for the MC and ML dynamic.
