(spoiler alert) i read the novel so that’s my basis.
MC being omega doesn’t really affect the current timeline. The previous life though, it did because in this universe, the 2nd gender is very new, hence there are SOOOO many misconceptions, bias, and prejudice against omegas.
Since Yuder regressed, he did his best this time to make sure people are more educated and ready regarding heat cycles, he even helped make supression pills very early unlike in the past. This new life is definitely better and the MCs relationship will now have good bases which are trust and loyalty
As for pregnancy, i havent finished reading but i’ve read majority of the novel so far and there’s none yet.
Enjoy reading. Here’s the link of the novel if you’re interested

Istg, it’s worth the read. As an avid reader for 20+ years, i can confidently say that the plot, worldbuilding, pacing, characters are all well planned and written. It’s so good! It’s a 5star novel for a reason
but aboverse is literally just for 2nd genders. the main purpose of this genre is to make it possible for men to get pregnant or make it normal in the universe for men to fall in love with other men without prejudice.
however, it's still up to the authors how they're gonna make the rules; if they are just going to follow the traditional or make a new non-traditional ABO.
in this story's case, they gave us a universe in which ABO genders are just new, which gives us new perspective, and I find that fascinating enough.
in other stories, ABO genders are already established. there are already certain rules and prejudice, like alphas are for omegas, and betas are for betas, or alphas are the strongest, and omegas are nurture typesetc.
in this story, we're gonna see how the ABOverse itself as a culture evolved from the beginning, alongside the characters themselves, which is a fascinating addition to the plot. i like that the author gave us 2 possibilities. the past life, where the introduction of 2nd gender to the world wasn't handled well. and the 2nd life, where it is handled with care and respect.
i also love that the author didn't add the ABO aspect for the smut. it was mainly to make the MC more badass. like he is an omega but he is unlike any other omegas we have ever read before
Traditional once are okay, but modifying it somehow to used in fantasy genre would have give a fresh ideas and new ways to use ABO for plot. I actually thought before, even in 2020 that it cool to see how ABO can have modifications. Nonetheless, the story was already great and I just love to imagine how to modify a story.
Also, thanks for the spoilers!
i was wondering how much the omegaverse affects the plot? like if the omega is usually strong, but just collapses in front of their alpha or the omega gets weakened from having a baby or some other nonsense.
also does the omega get pregnant in the novel?
