I really loved this story - but before I begin on the good let me just get a personal gripe outta the way.
I feel like Japanese omega verse cannot leave the omegas alone without SOME sort of trauma - idk how many omega verse ive read where they HAFTA have a traumatic, sad past. Like LEAVE EM ALONE??? Why r all ppl in omegaverse so vile.
Anyway, I really fuckikg liked this story. Honestly it suprised me that it was one that treated the traumas seriously and I like how it ripples in the rest of the story. There r some things that could’ve been done better (cough cough brother) but like it wasn’t bad.
I get why he forgave the brother but I didn’t like it. Added to the weird little gripe he has with the alpha - it could’ve been taken as a sibling-dislike if he idk hadn’t attempted to SA his own older brother? So it just comes off as jealousy (it seems misplaced as well, envious instead but it’s still WEIRD)
I wanna say the reason he forgave him so easily was because it doesn’t SEEM like there was any penetration, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t almost assault him?
Like there’s no denying that he almost got assaulted in the gang setting so why is it denied here??? Ugh the only gripe really.
Anwyay, Everything that the omega does is explicable to what happened to him and his deep rooted insecurity. It’s enough to the point where you can’t even really be “mad” even if his actions are unreasonable.
Same thing with the alpha - you just gotta remember they are YOUNG. So their actions make sense and they’re learning as they go.
They’re genuinely a good couple as they grow you can see the way they learn how to maneuver around the complexities of a relationship firsthand and they’re so cute.
I don’t think I’ve ever loved an omega verse couple more than this one.
The omega is sooo fucking good (played up as a “badass” but still willingly docile AT HIS TERMS) and the alpha is such a green flag.
Not a shit bout the omega or alpha past (no sa, no slutshaming, no traumatic backstory) and it focuses on the present with the best relationship progression I’ve seen.
