Like as many people mention it's a bad story. The premise of it is interesting with having a police officer and a criminal fall on love or in this case being a destined pair but it becomes very bad very soon. And I don't mean this only for this story but the trope in general is a very difficult trope to write properly for it not to fail.

But let's not ignore the elephant in the room which is the RAPE. It is used so much in omegaverse that many people even expect it when they start reading a omegaverse bl. The recipe is done again and again that now it is a cliche. Like many other stories the seme despite raping the uke and feeling no remorse since he is an Alfa and that means "superior" and bla bla bla, is actually a very "green flag" for lack of a better world to the uke and we all collectively along with the uke look past the rape and forgive the seme. The uke falls in love and they become a pair bla bla bla.... It is so obvious what will happen that at this point it's just disappointing.

If I have to take a guess it will end either with the uke quitting because being with the seme is enough for him etc. or with them both somehow maintaining their jobs while being together, which I find unlikely because the way the story is right now I don't see that as a ending that can feel natural. It is not the first time the ending where the Omega sub comes to being an omega and becomes a pair with the Alfa as in being inferior to him, and that is more important than his job or dreams and it will not be the last.

At this point it's just wrongfully accepting bad writing by the collective fandom.

I think this is a perfect example of an unreliable narrator.




Spoilers!!
And I say that in the best way possible. The plot twist was so nice because up to chapter 4 we weren't even given the opportunity to doubt the uke. And it is not like he was lying or making up stories to become an unreliable narrator, he simply was not in the right state of mind. His brain couldn't handle all that trauma and resorted to forgetting everything, thus making such an interesting story with having the uke think he has been kidnapped by a phycopath.
And with what we are shown the seme is truly a green flag!!!
Although I would have loved if it was longer,aybe I don't know a continuation of those two interacting while they are both with a shame mind, but still a very great read, I would recommend this to anyone.
Also I love the detail that up till he remembered everything, so up to chapter 4, the ukes appearance is of him as a 20 year old, because that's what he remembers, while his scar is shown only when he truly remembers everything and in chapter 5 where the narrator is the seme.
