Not normally into gaming danmei (or generally any novel that has a ton of 'chat' dialogue) but this was really well-written, and the translator went the extra mile to make it easy to follow.

Definitely a fun read, especially if you love fluffy ABO. The characters were mostly well-rounded, I loved MC's family and their in-game friends--there were legitimately a few times when I was cracking up while reading. My only real criticism is ML was rather 2-dimensional... the excessively perfect alpha, with not much to do in the story outside... more>> of romancing MC. The 'villain' in the final 1/3 was also a pretty shallow cliche with completely illogical motivations (ironically the prior in-game conflicts were more realistic and complex, wasn't expecting that!)

The overall plot, pacing, and resolution were otherwise well thought out, and I would still recommend. Just the right length imo, ended while I was still wanting more, and before I got sick of drawn out/repetitive conflicts. <<less

Honestly I have no idea how to write a review for this story, but then I saw the ratings that look kinda misleading, and since I binge-read this until 5 in the morning...

About how the novel starts (since the summary is just a single line, I'm putting this as a spoiler) : ... more>>
Spoiler

As the name suggests, in this novel, the MC, who is an Omega, has mutated pheromones that repels Alphas to the point where they would throw up or be knocked unconscious. Thus, he decided to give up on finding an Alpha to date.

After buying half of a couple's account in an MMORPG game that he used to play but deleted, the first thing he saw upon entering the game is the ML (who is an Alpha), playing the other half of the couple's account.

Their account names... Heheheh

Eventually, with the ML fulfilling his end of a bet made between him and the MC's cousin, and the MC helping his cousin who wants to turn his crush's head towards him instead of the ML, the MC and ML pretend to fake date.

[collapse]

I also really liked the MC's cousin. You could say he's... loyal to his family? And would prioritise his family over his crush at the end of the day.

Overall, this story is cute and comedic. It's honestly a little touching how far the ML would be willing to go if he finds that he isn't able to handle the MC's pheromones.

Spoiler

They find out that he can, and about what MC's pheromone really is about in around Chapter 60.

Rating: 4.0

Pairing Type: tsundere omega MC x alpha ml; gamers; fake dating couple; standard formula gong; gong ML x shou mc

Tropes: gaming; gaming legends; eports; omegaverse

Triggers: kidnapping attempt and assault attempt, non graphic

Heat level: 2/5 (behind closed doors) ; characters are intimate but love scenes are behind closed doors

Re-readability: will likely not reread

Fun enough read but probably won’t reread. I don’t really have much to say about it since it’s a fairly standard gaming plot line with the added twist of it being set in an ABO world.

Average rating at most.

The story not dwelling deep on esport, not deep on romance, and not deep on the plot. So basically just an okay-ish story to pass your time.

This is a pretty light read. The story starts with fake dating in their online game and that was my favorite part of the novel, because MC was acting all coquettish and cute as ML's wife in front of their guild. After they meet in real life, there isn't that much plot anymore

    • There's no conflict between the MC and ML, no focus on the romance
    • The story spends more time delving into MC's past with his former gamer friends with a lot of hidden identities
    • "Mutated Pheromones"/omegaverse aspect was easily resolved
Overall a quick read if you're looking for something stress-free. Wouldn't reread. I preferred Your Teacher I, am Hella Rich for hidden identities and online flirting in games.

I love me some healthy omegaverse novel!

And an important note: This is not an e-sport novel. I repeat, this is not an e-sport novel!

The game is a typical MMORPG game which is always a very nice setting for online dog blood drama.

Very fluffy, the MC is cute, I'm usually put off by tsundere, but this MC is surprisingly cute for me. The ML is your typical Mr. Perfect, but hey! I'm not complaining!

Overall, it's an enjoyable quick read!

4.5 stars

Started reading this a while back but stopped because I didn't expect it to be a mmorpg plot and wasn't in the mood to digest that kind of plot in chinese (in game names and stuff). But came back to read it while I was in the mood and this is a really cute novel! Just note that it's a mmorpg abo novel.

I just want to also add, MC's cousin is the real MVP wingman here. Also, his family is really supportive type, which is great. The relationship progression... more>> is also thankfully not love at first sight. It's still quite fast in terms of speed, but there's some chasing at least. ML is really one of the sweetest kind in an ABO setting. No major misunderstandings in the romance department.

I actually really enjoyed the mmorpg aspect once I knew it was going to be that set up. The game play to the guilds and the people in the game were actually pretty fun. Especially the small plot of
Spoiler

somewhat hidden identity. It's cliche for them to be "gods" in the game, but it's a light hearted novel.

[collapse]

The antagonist were annoying (and somewhat persistent) but no lasting harm and quickly swept aside each time. The matter of the pheromones is also well wrapped up.

As for side CP, very barely there, don't get your hopes up for seeing them. And only 1 side CP confirmed in the extras and nothing more. Wished had more content for them.

Minus 0.5 stars was for the abrupt ending. It's a HEA, no worries but
Spoiler

author ended right at the start of the competition citing that it's not a e-sport novel. Understandably. But it's just really too abrupt.

[collapse]

Overall, a very lighthearted short novel that's easy to read even without MTL. <<less

I liked this more than I expected. I’m giving it 4 stars because it does a good job at what it is—a short, light read. It doesn’t get in depth with most of the things it introduces, but it doesn’t need to.

The point isn’t to explain the world or solve a mystery or win a gaming championship. The story is more like a coming-of-age story than anything else—how Yue Ran finds his place in the world, with both his family and his friends. If you look at it from this... more>> angle, it accomplishes what it set out to do very well and makes for a fun read. <<less

Just leaving a note here for myself. I stopped at Chapter 50 coz I got tired of it. I kinda got annoyed with the ML, although a lot of people would say that the ML is reasonable, yada yada. But I still think he’s pushy and just imposes his feelings too much on MC.

It's fluffy and cute with no dog blood drama. This is about a tsundere omega with mutated pheromones and a very doting high class alpha.

This is not an e-sports gaming story, the story revolves around their gaming characters, the people in the guild and their interactions, until the main couple finally met in the university with the help of the shou's cousin. By the way special shout-out to my boy QX, YR's cousin and YS, YR's dad!! They are my favorite characters! The other side charaters are good too, but... more>> they are there like decorations only! Lol. I also feel bad that until the end, we only know their gaming names and not their real names, I mean c'mon author!!!

The translation is good, so I'd like to thank his effort and time translating this novel for us/me/everyone to enjoy.

Do I like the story? Sure.

Am I going to reread? No.

Overall this is a good novel for beginners!

Kyahhhhh!!! I forgot the fluffy chicken!! So cute!!! <<less

I was looking for a fun, funny, and sweet ABO with all the hijinks entailed in an ABO setting. AND I FOUND IT IN THIS AND I AM SO FRIGGIN HAPPY

So many laugh out loud moments. I am in loooove with the MC and ML. I love how despite being all cool and stoic the ML is, he's actually pretty honest with himself and his feelings. No s*upid self-denial here.

I like how they develop and enjoyed their interactions together and with others so so much.

MC's dad is so friggin hilarious... more>> and I almost died trying not to laugh while reading in public. Mostly tried to cope by covering my deranged smile lol

The pacing is pretty good.

Spoiler

The whole identity misunderstanding was resolved pretty well and I am so glad it was done in a very lighthearted way and didn't drag too much.
I love how the MC isn't completely oblivious and has a reasonable hurdle to overcome with regards to responding to ML's feelings.

I loooove MC's cousin. Gosh. He's the perfect wingman but not in an annoying s*upid way. So many characters are well written with distinct personalities and I am so happy to just bask in it.

[collapse]

The ending was pretty sweet altho I can definitely read more from this couple. I wish there was a sequel where
Spoiler

the main characters pursue e-sports and MC does his own thing and occasionally dabbling In e-sports for funsies lol

Pretty cute and rather well thought out.

Story is nothing new but really entertaining put together and you feel that it was planned out from the beginning on.

MC is a cute little spitfire tsundere with mutated pheromones. Insted of seducing, his smell is repelling alphas. Little MC was planning to find an alpha and start dating now that he enters college but this dream just died. So, fired up by his cousin he starts to enjoy his vacation by playing a game that he was playing 3 years prior but... more>> got "forced" to delete the account by his parents.

Now this little good is back with a newly bought account... and putting on a show for his cousins sake?

Well there is fake dating, misunderstandings and some other standard stuff but I really like that it does not exactly target MC and ML. All the drama is somewhat happening to them but the two of them get along well and have great communication. I totally like their flow.

While MC is a bit tsundere he is cute but not cloying sweet. The story has a nice flow with lots of fluff and a bit face slapping.

I felt really entertained. <<less

That was a short story but it really packed a punch! I enjoyed it so much and couldn't stop reading. I highly recommend. It's hilarious and just cotton candy sweet!

Cw: non-graphic bullying, foiled but thought of s*xual assault (mentioned but not explicit in the least)

Actual rating: 4.5

Tbh, I find the romantic development between the MC and ML somewhat fast that it made me feel lacking.

... more>>
Spoiler

I think it's due to the time skippings here and there specifically on the "falling-in-love" period of them.

[collapse]

I know that genres like this with "too long" chapters can get boring but too much time skipping can also ruin the romantic and character development (tho in this novel, I don't think there's a need for focus on the character development).

Spoiler

btw, there are side cps, which involves the cousin and the other side characters. Personally curious if there would be development between Sunken Moon and Fish God.. Wait, why the heck the author didn't bother to give them names aside from the cousin and MC's dormmate?? The unrelated omega rescue leader had a name but MC and ML's game friends don't?? Poor side characters lol

[collapse]

Regardless, I find their interactions cute and entertaining, specially MC and ML's shenanigans with the other side characters (cousin and game friends).

Spoiler

Kinda sad with the abrupt ending, and justifying it with "it's not an esports novel".. Ok then xD

[collapse]

Antagonists and cannon fodders are a bit annoying,

Spoiler

what's up with this unreasonable fan mentally of ML's admirers where "I can't get them so no one should"?? I mean hellooo he's got a life and is capable of making his own decisions 🙄

[collapse]

but yeah understandable, a story will not be complete without them lol.

Anyways, looking forward for the translated extras~ :D <<less

Sure enough, it's a really fluffy ABO novel. It has a fast pace (not too fast), and the plot was nice. The plot twists (?Reveal?) seemed natural and the things happening weren't too much for it to be a drama or dog blood novel, yet it's enough to keep up your interest. The main and side characters are really nice, most of them have personality to a degree, and their interactions (not just the MC and ML) are really cute. There are some side CPs (mainly one side CP and... more>> one implied one). Despite being an ABO novel, it had a nice ML who didn't fall for the MC because of pheromones or something vague.
Perhaps the only thing I didn't like was the ending, it felt a bit too fast for it to be ending and a bit fast, though I think it did avoid the situation of repetitive plot (which happens in a lot of mmorpg novels). Definitely recommend it to fluff lovers. Sorry for the bad English and have a nice day. <<less

So cute and fluffy! I like the unconventional take on mutated pheromones and gaming aspect. I definitely enjoyed the college life part more than the initial setup during summer vacation.

I do wish there was further development on Jiang Xiao's character.

Refreshingly sweet story with a bit of suspense 🥹
Not a drama-filled conflict, but it was 'enough' to spice up the story.

Our MC is a tsundere, but he's not annoying, really he's cute in a sweet way. Quite tough, and her tsundere nature just makes her character more lovable...

Our ML is the best. He fell in love first, pursued in a super epic way, the best PDA spreader, and he's Sexy 😭😭 he's like a yandere in a gentle way, he's possessive but reasonable, he's sexy and smart, and very... more>> loving...

I love how they come together not too slow but not too fast either. It's just right and sweet!!!

Bottom line it was one fun read.

Thanks for you're translated, 🥺🫶 <<less

This was a fun read! I rarely gaming BL web novels, so I'm really happy this one exceeded my expectations (^▽^) I'd recommend this if you're looking for a feel-good omegaverse story with low stakes!

What I loved:

  1. I love, love, love how Jiang Xiao was firm in his romantic attraction towards Yue Ran!
    Spoiler

    Qin Xiujie couldn't deter him, Yue Ran's conditions couldn't stop him, nosy gossipers didn't faze him.

    [collapse]
  2. I like how Yu was bold but not arrogant. He knows how to stand up for himself, but he never initiates unnecessary fights. In some BLs, I get turned off from reading when the author thinks making the bottom arrogant is the same thing as making them bold (ー_ー) They just end up as annoying to me. This author did NOT do that, which is great!
  3. Yue Ran's parents are so silly!
    Spoiler

    Nothing wrong with stories involving unsupportive/abusive parents, but I like that both Yue Ran's and Jian Xiao's parents were good people. More feel-good content for me!

    [collapse]
  4. The chapters set in the game was easy to follow as an ex-League of Legends player. I was kinda worried it would be boring, but it was pretty entertaining reading Yue Ran and Jiang Xiao's initial, online-only interactions.
  5. The author was creative with
    Spoiler

    Yue Ran's condition. Obviously, it's not a new trope for authors to use sci-fi elements to explain stuff in their story, but as many other readers pointed out, it was nice to see some effort put into this. Yue Ran and Jiang Xiao weren't merely "fated partners" (although there's nothing wrong with that trope!)

    [collapse]
One thing I think could be improved:

  • I wish the author
    Spoiler

    put more time into Jiang Xiao's romantic attraction towards Yue Ran. Yes, we did read about their flirty interactions in-game, but I feel that's not enough to convince me Jiang Xiao fell for Yue Ran. It felt abrupt... Maybe it would be better if Jiang Xiao fell for Yue Ran after getting to know Yue Ran more in-person? Or maybe having chapters about Jiang Xiao and Yue Ran just chatting on private voice-chat about random stuff? I don't know. Still, I was eventually convinced Jiang Xiao loved Yue Ran after the story showed his efforts to woo Yue Ran.

    [collapse]
Random thoughts about the story, not relevant to whether it was "good" or "bad":

  • I wish there was
    Spoiler

    more chapters exploring Jiang Xiao's and Yue Ran's ambitions. They briefly chatted about it, but I think it would be really heartwarming to read about them sharing each other's dreams and talking about other interests aside from gaming.

    [collapse]
  • Spoiler

    It would have been great to read about Jiang Xiao's parents a bit, just cuz I'm curious ( ̄ω ̄)

    [collapse]
  • Spoiler

    I lowkey want a spin-off of Feng Zhuohao's story (//ω//) Since he was disarmed by Yue Ran's condition, it would be nice to read about him encountering a fifth case with someone else and actually end up with that person (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)

Short and enjoyable with a good mix or humour and fluff.

I think my favourite part of this was that the main character's dad gets into gaming too to support his son. I haven't seen that before in a gaming novel and it was really fun to see. The side characters in general were a highlight too.

The mix of gaming, college life, and omegaverse worked and the game content felt fun. I love the fat little chicken MC raised in game.
