Reading this brings fresh nostalgia, it reminds me of Assassination Classroom a little, if you liked that anime then I heavily recommend this one for you! Not to say that this is a copy paste, but something to definitely read if you like that kind of trope.

Additionally, this one has its own set of characters and uniqueness, just like how "Ultimate Otaku Teacher" is unique in its own way compared to AC.

The magic systems applied and the politics or hidden politics included in this, as well as the educational system applied in Orion is simple yet well thought out, of course there are still some gaps since we are in the early stages of the manga, but overall it's interesting already. The world building is exceptional despite the lack of information, as we are limited to our mc, unreliable narrator, and the school, or class itself.

The plot of having "Egg Cracking" and how the story progressed from the inevitable future to something more noble such as saving children, but still not letting go of their origin is a star to me.

I also love the details added, like how the magic works, the history with witches, or the star in their eyes.

But most importantly I love the characterization. The uniqueness found in each character is already well known tropes, already seen in a lot of stories and shows like this one, but it never gets old. The spice added in this is the mc himself, who grew to be cold and only wanting praise to see his worth, the interest in this is, such a person was the one who initiated to save the children, hesitant yes, but the fact that he even considered questioning why they became evil was the cherry on top. I love seeing the character growth in this, he's just not there to help guide them, they're guiding him in return too. The detail where they prefer his true self than his act is also wonderful.

There is potential in this manga despite the cliches and tropes, I would love to read more, now that we also have the plot of Shao's star in his eye being odd!

I loved this story, honestly, I thought it was perfect (in its own silly and messed up way) that I kept recommending it to others. Of course I thought it was one of a kind, especially since a female alpha together with a male omega stories are hard to come by, more so if they're the center of the story itself. It was really refreshing, I liked how simple the setting was, but was led in more depth by the characters' past and characterizations.

Of course that doesn't mean that they're all that healthy, spoiler from here; since the omega used a fake compatibility test to show the alpha that they were compatible to have sex, it can easily be ignored, but when you think about faking a compatibility test to get into bed with someone who was sick due to their sex, it's wrong (of course we can argue that he didn't know that time, but either way faking something like that is still wrong). The alpha isn't all that innocent either, after they got together, contractually, because of their baby she started showing signs of being too possessive, even wanting to go and kidnap him and lock him in their house so that he'll stay even after their contract. That is wrong. I liked this story but I can acknowledge that those stuff I've said about them are not romantic in any way, both are unethical and are crimes.

But overall I still liked it when I first read it, I think the problem came when the side stories were published. I was very interested in the dynamic, I thought it was a separate story, like a what if situation, not their past life. Well, the experience was interesting, of course, their dynamic was completely different as well as their characterization, it wasn't that carefree as before and was more realistic on who was rich and who was the commoner. Being clip about this, it was horrific? It's been awhile so, yes, but the omega pretty much went away because he was going in heat, and he didn't want to have a baby, but the alpha due to circumstance, found them and had sex with them, giving the omega an unwanted pregnancy (taking off the cloth that was inside them, which was the condom back in the day) Which I can argue as rape since he didn't want it, but other factors such as pheromones come into play so that's a bit challenging, but non consent either way is rape, I don't consider being pheromone high as being able to give consent, it's like being drunk; additionally the alpha was more awake than the omega despite being affected by pheromones, they were aware of the mark too. Second was after that, when the omega was supposed to travel again, the alpha locked him up in the storage so that he can "think" about the offer of them staying, the omega went away, but had to go back because he was marked and because he became pregnant. Which the alpha was aware of, and used to her advantage; despite efforts from the omega to get the babies aborted. During all this the omega still had mixed feelings of resentment and "love" towards her, till he had to agree to stay till he gives birth. The conclusion of it was that the babies die in his womb, and in his last moments he was begging for his life, saying that the babies were a nuisance and that he didn't love the alpha, but he was denied care because of prejudice and because he was in critical condition, so he died with the babies anyways. And the alpha basically says that, she knows she'll just hurt him in every timeline so it was better for them not to meet at all, but that if ever given the chance, wants to make it up to them, which brings us to the main storyline. Honestly. That was not needed at all, that destroyed the thin layer of tolerance I had. Anyways, I stopped reading and recommending this story after that.
