How to Snag an Alpha
No reread. 4 and half stars️. Glad I’ve decided to give this one a chance. I’m usually scared of how messed up and dehumanizing abo are, but this was quite wholesome. No rape, no weak uke driven by his hormones who is just a whole that needs to be f*cked all the time like a cat in heat. 80 chapters for main couple, 20 for brother of uke story, and 3 for previous reincarnation of main couple during joseon era. I preferred the brother’s story to main one (even though it was not thay bad). Uke of main story was just too childish and annoying for me most of the time (i do appreciate that even drunk or high on hormones, he never cheated and always had his eyes on seme. Seme also only had eyes for uke. Same for the other couples tbh). main uke made me feel like a 40 years old seme was dating, marrying, and getting pregnant a 14 years old uke.
Anti Alpha
Pretty typical abo actually. Romance started in school then we skip to 7 yrs later. Uke driven by hormones to an extent when it comes to seme (a plus is uke has worked hard to resist other’s pheromones). Disappointed that bad boy seme fell first by end of first chapter, while uke stays in dumb denial for several chapters even though he’s been sleeping with seme since chapter 1. Ugh! Nothing special. Art is just okay. Uke looks extra plain. Nothing appealing in his look. No reread.

Cute story, sensual smut.

No reread. not bad tho. Everyone one forgives everyone way too easily imo. There was the masters’ story and then the butlers’ story

It was messy, all over the place. Uke was extra desperate with the I love yous, pheromones releases and so on. And seme was unaffectedly cool mostly with ofc a higher than average tolerance for pheromones. How convenient. I don’t like when yaoi have ukes that are too much. Too strong headed with constant nos and don’ts, or too desperate and pathetic. Once again abo are a hit or miss with me and this was definitely a miss.
Happy Omegaverse
Quite dumb and boring plot. Uke is highly dislikable. I hate when as adults they act like they suddenly can’t plan their own heat days and lowkey purposely or inconsiderately put everyone around them in a troublesome situation. Ugh!
