LMAOOOOOOO AINT NO WAY THEY USED AN ELECTRICAL CORD!!! that shit made me actually laugh, i wasn’t even focused on the smut anymore i’m just imagining them unplugging a toaster in the heat of the moment n bein like “this’ll work” ꉂꉂ◟(˃ꇴ˂)༡
very typical “bullied mc gets strong” with a harem. i’m glad there are other characters (like that Hawks lookin dude, who also lowkey looks like a pimp) who are there to guide the MC because his naive ass would’ve gotten scammed many times over.
i hate the harem lmao. it’s so overused and boring. people can party together n not be in a relationship, there is no need to enforce the stereotypes of “haha strong man gets bitches” and “men and women can’t be friends/party members bc *obviously* they’re going to develop feelings,” dawg what? spice it up. friendship posse of two lesbians and an demi/ace mc, who are an amazing party. i’m all for poly endings but w these it’s never actually poly. it’s just “competition” between the harem members for the affection of the MC, and he usually “picks one.” (づ￣ ³￣)づ
what the fuck is this? i couldn’t finish even 2 chapters, and like- i’ve read some fucked shit. but painting this semi realistic “closeted queer” experience only for the stupid fucking, no good, manipulative, selfish, cunt of a seme to out him? furthermore, the sex scene didn’t feel- consensual.. because it really wasn’t. man’s was coerced into havin sex, which.. is r^pe? or at the VERY LEAST s*xual ass*ult.
the art is lovely, but the story?? better off just looking at panels from the story w/o text. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
when i was around the ukes age.. i think having a disgustingly young uke didn’t bother me (lowkey conditioned to accept it) but now that i’m an adult i look at that age and cringe. 15? my god.. i look at a real 15 year old human n im like “oh shit i was that young once. how the fuck could anyone sexualize someone this age?” fiction is obviously a form of escapism, however, this kinda normalizes very real and very disgusting behaviors.
go feral for omegaverses, im all for it, but can both sides PLEASE be the age of consent? i mean shit- even in Japan the age of consent got raised, right (albeit to 16)? even if they have this “healthy” “happy” relationship, this kid has no one. no support system aside from his partner. it’s giving pricilla presley, or the “baby groupies” from the 70s-80s.
Σ( ￣□￣||)
this isn’t even a fun time. at no point during this read was i like “they’re going to have a happy ending” because this is purely tragedy. no real romance (just trauma-bonding), and the only thing happening is psychologically torturing the MC. i don’t know what i was expecting, maybe some revenge but a happy ending?
nah, just trauma. deaths over n over n over. no one is safe (legit no one, aside from the MCs). there is not a single form of respite for the MC. she has no one. even if blondie saves her, whats the point? not only is she FUCKED mentally, if she ever had a child that kid would also be fucked.
I swear, her family was a fairy/spirit of some kind, (bc the “otherworldly” beauty n regressions). i wonder if her ancestor broke some horrible taboo n that’s why she’s doomed to repeat her life. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
hot on the outside (smut, art) and kinda cold and unpalatable on the inside (clusterfuck plot). couque deserves better, and hu’s relationship w berry(?) confused the fuck outta me lol. however, i think my biggest gripe, which i’ve seen others bring up, is pacing. it felt like a four car pile up of plot.
(￣∇￣")
the plot was complex, i went into this expecting a tic tac toe level plot but ended up with chess. tbh i’m still not 100% sure what happened. it was just- one hurdle after another and then FINALLY together.
imo some of the (early) sex scenes felt really- forced. “oh the uke is in love with snake dude” ok but he can still feel uncomfortable. the language barriers between them made consent (or dissent) pretty much impossible. did the uke want to give amnesiac danger noodle a handjob? did he have a choice? what about the uke repeatedly saying no before their first time? coercion isn’t consent.
it just rubbed me the wrong way, idk. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
the family trees ain’t even two trees at this point. the Hapsburgs are quaking in their incest ridden boots. I realize this is fiction but what a silly plot point. the incest wasn’t even all that relevant to the plot. if the seme’s mom was NOT THE UKES AUNT, then literally no problem. auntie incest wasn’t even a key character. it’s not just an “arranged marriage” between powerful medium families (which is easy af to write, and doesn’t change much of the plot at all) this author said.. nah nah let’s just just come full circle. these guys are first cousins- FIRST. after generations of first cousins getting married i’m starting to think this- “hearing the voice of god” is just a manifestation of a hereditary mental disorder potentially caused by all this DAMN COUSIN-FUCKIN (￣∇￣")
obviously an author can write whatever they wish- but sometimes i feel some authors needed to have a moment. a moment to ask themselves instead of could i, *should* i write this?
but what do i know? lol (づ￣ ³￣)づ
teens- even in an omegaverse setting shouldn’t be havin kids lol. are condoms just- nonexistent in this world? birth control? an IUD? any other type of contraceptive? the “dumb” omega can barely graduate high school, what is he gonna do? stay home n raise the kid? HE IS A KID. i’m not saying accidents don’t happen. i’m not sayin that teen parents can’t make amazing parents, IM JUST SAYIN TWO TEENS WHO CANT EVEN DRINK SHOULDN'T BE HAVIN KIDS, and should be taking PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES against *pregnancy*. have as much fun as you want ig, but a child is something completely different. #－.－)
also the plot in general is mid at best and trash at worse. the author flippantly includes a gang r*pe for no reason, and it is literally never addressed again. no trauma, no actual repercussions, dude literally got gang r*ped n was immediately down to pound. didn’t even seem all that bothered and by the next scene he didn’t have a care in the world. girl, what? what typa plot is this?? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
this “dumb” omega isn’t dumb i genuinely think he has a cognitive disability. you cannot be that dense and gullible and be neurotypical. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
listen i understand the idea. i see the concept. the FMC has gone mad as a result of all the shit she went through, which is a valid response to the trauma.. the MMC swooping in and being like “:) let’s help each other. i wanna be king. you want revenge.” but this poor girl is still skin and bones and is SEVERELY shaken up. there’s no one at the manor who pulled the FMC aside and was like “hey pookie, i know you want revenge but you need to be healthy first-“ it’s just speedrunning the plot. who cares if her body holds up? clearly the MMC doesn’t. she is a tool. the FMC is like “we can use eachother” but there are no fair terms to this deal. she is not his equal, they both know that. without him she’d be sent back to the house that abused her doomed to die a tragic death because women in this world seemingly don’t have rights, and without her the MMC would only have to hold off on usurping the thrown for a little bit longer. see how those aren’t equal? lol.
ALSO HE CHOKED HER?? “we’re testing what power you have” BULLSHIT. tEmPtAtIoN my ass. #－.－)
