If you're a hopeless romantic then rethink this read.
If you like feeling frustrated and seeing people manipulated, stung along, going through emotional turmoil then this is probably a good story for you.
If you're okay with many smut scenes without real romance, closure, growth or character development feel free to continue.
Don't want spoilers stop here.
Sigh now I'll rant
At first I had hope "Maybe it's another wholesome Omegaverse" but nope.
Fateful encounter my behind, more like mere bad luck.
Another toxic overly stated secondary gender roles but this one like some others exclude Betas, due to lack of scent, they're less desirable etc.
I just started and am halfway through this but the damn omega seme is really irking.
Drugging was unnecessary, the things you said to get him to sleep with you was beyond sly. You're not in love just immature, twisted, cruel, selfish and possessive.
Playing with both people's feelings knowing damn well he's causing both pain.
That fake comforting when you're the shadow culprit behind everything is pissing me off.
I don't like the alpha seme much either, he's as dense as they get. They way he constantly fails to understand and express how he feels, poor upbringing, never received love and affection etc typical ass of ML.
It would be nice if he found a nice fine ass loving beta genuinely in love with him, not in those two game of tug and war and said F both of ya I'm out. Not likely but would be nice
It's interesting. I don't think much research on the blind was done, their sense of hearing, smell, taste and touch is usually heightened to make up for the lack of sight. They usually can recognize a person by footsteps, breathing, heartbeat, scent, touch (they literally read braille by feeling little bumps) etc. Regardless the concept is interesting
It's kinda like the Truman Show, that level of deception but smaller scale in the sense everything isn't a movie set. Though deception is Still Elaborate.
Looking forward to seeing the change of dynamics
Now more indepth rant, if you read story already feel free to read; if not ignore.
The whole psychological aspect is twisted though snapping under those circumstances makes sense. She was played, everything that kept her calm was a lie, she genuinely has nothing to lose.
To Him it was a long term work assignment with his team that was more taxing then expected. A cruel and exhausting act that messed with his head differently from her. Having to wear a mask with glasses everyday, wear a foreign scent, fake voice implant and pretend to love and be dedicated to a woman who can't see you.
I'm a little dissatisfied by the interrogation training, he could have used several other methods, if that's all that happened that's too light for that field. Realistically it would be a many times worse, waterboarding, head covered by sack, gagged in dark space, electrocution/tasing, water thrown on after passing out, non lethal stabbing, twisting limbs or fingers, etc. Having things to heal wounds later
The thing is with her personality and resolve she wouldn't have given up the information, would have seen her stronger and more scary. Trained more properly then that scare tactic that was unsuccessful. I think it was more to show him riled up which is nice Karma.
"be dedicated to a woman who can't you" what an odd thing to say especially cuz he was the one who blinded her.
