it's like they took a bunch of ABO/BL troupes and decided to mash them tgt and speedrun it.
poor, weak omega w childhood trauma
privileged, rich alphas
noncon out of jealousy (which is supposed to be acceptable cause ABO)
childhood friend?
blackmail
male lead who just exists to enable jealousy and let the authors indulge in 3p
the plot isn't anything unique but the pacing being bad just makes it I'm sorry but I couldn't take Ash's entire backstory seriously??? like for example, I'm baffled by the marriage partners they listed, like a drug addict? girl, isn't your father tryna marry you off to help the family. why in the actual fuck was a std patient (this literally made me double take, LIKE WHY IS THAT A CHARACTERISTIC??), ex-convict, and drug addict listed. like the old (seemingly rich) sleazy old man, I get. but HOW WERE THE PRIOR EVER GONNA BE A WORTHY INVESTMENT FOR THE FAMILY
also the sudden 3p ending, when him and isaac literally just fked once????? pls. I feel like the author just wanted to draw a 3p ABO lmfao. which is fine but would've been better if they didn't try to give the mc a sad backstory that gets rushed through, leaving no room for readers to sympathise, before we go back to straight smut
unintentionally reread all of this again, so mfing good. I love them sm one of the best ABOs I've read
