Genboxxy's manga / #alpha x omega(45)

too fast paced, whiplash character dynamic n development.

2.5/5

The seme really reminds me a lot of those characters in shoujo-- you know the obsessed with his wife, can't-get-his-hands-to-himself, outgoing sleaze talker (only to his wife) old man. They're usually the ML's father and is hyped up to be serious and dangerous (it's usually the FL who assumes this because the son/ML is often portrayed as the serious, quite type + used as plot tension) only to be revealed that his dad actually totes under his mom and openly shows that he can't function well without her lmao; there's also some where both parents are like this and they're usually always on a honeymoon trip, travelling somewhere throughout the story and would show up on arcs where the FL suddenly needs to meet them coz they just returned from the trip or whatever. These characters are so chaotic and dynamic just like this seme, I love it. Absolutely has no chill and filter with the dirty talks too, which the uke would probably match down the line once he gains more self-esteem. He (seme) acts like a man-baby at times but is also surprisingly consensual, not much plot here though so don't expect that, if the uke is more assertive or a tsundere this could defo be a crack story. Highly enjoyed reading this, waiting for more chapters.

really tried to keep reading this coz the artstyle's so pretty but it's too bland- all characters are bland and one-dimensional, plot is cliche which isn't necessarily bad (cliches could work if executed properly but this one ain't it), sudden conflict, sudden resolution, sudden tension with the usual dash of assumptions and miscommunications. Meh, dropped at ch.24.

It barely pass as BL fr. 3.5/5 for me, not frustrating to read but too fast paced. I love the pair's dynamic, banters like that usually create tension that sets the stage for doki doki fluffy moments (which it did!) but the story is quite forgettable because it's so cliche, it blends in so easily not just with other BLs but even Shoujos. I feel like the prompt for this story really started with that heat-induced scene and the author just worked around it which is why it ended up being an omegaverse BL. Also throughout this story, the uke never once had a panel where he actually kissed the seme but did it with the 2nd lead instead hahah. I'm sounding so malicious here but it feels like author just doesn't want to actually draw boys (who look like boys/masculine) kissing each other, it's gotta be het in appearance with at least one of them looking so femme; or maybe they're just not used to drawing it, or just due to creative license, who knows? yuri might also be a good venture for the author.
