I'm about to vent so ignore if you think this is a well written story

This story is so frustrating bc the main characters are big huge idiot dumdums. The alpha literally has rocks for brains. He's a grown man and doesn't know basic human emotion even very young children can grasp.
His two big "realizations" are so shallow and nonsensical it's insulting to readers. Jihyuk is one of the messiest, most self-centered MC's I've ever seen. Constantly contradicting himself, seemingly emotionally literate and insightful one moment, then completely dense the next. Firm with boundaries one moment, then just lets ppl do whatever to him the next--at the whim of the author for whatever plot point needs to happen next OR to make sure Jihyuk is the biggest victim at all times. Both he and the alpha are nothing but caricatures of tropes to the extreme, that it's actually almost funny. (Not complaining about the omega, because of the three, I find him to be the most polished in terms of characterization and narrative)

Anyway this story has good stuff too. Knotting. Omega top. Jihyuk's suicidal thoughts feel very real. The art improved a crazy amount the last few chapters. And one of my favorite melodrama tropes, inexplicably puking blood bc of Anguish.

...See you guys here next chapter
