I really tried to get through this novel. I made it to chapter 29 the first time, and chapter 32 the second time. I usually try to give novels a chance and avoid writing negative reviews, but this one just annoyed me too much.

My first major issue is the quality of writing. I'm not sure if it's the translation or the novel itself, but there are so many mistakes that it became a chore to read because I kept having to mentally keep track of things and figure it out... more>> on my own.

1: Names

Multiple names are mixed up so the reader has to follow along based on context. There were four characters by chapter 30 that this occurred with most frequently--

-MC's friend and researcher subordinate Li Chengrui, and MC's sexist admirer combat team leader Lu Changhui. The latter was introduced with the former's name and kept that name until several chapters later when it suddenly changed to Lu Changhui, and I suspect this only happened because his name was the chapter's title.

-An omega named Fang Qin who ran away after being trafficked and was given a temporary mark by Li Chengrui, and an omega also named Fang Qin who was trafficked, repeatedly r*ped, had his glands damaged, and wanted to die.

2: Sentence structure

There are many issues regarding who said/did what and noun/pronoun placement.

Like if I wrote [MC gave ML the box] but it was actually supposed to be the other way around with ML giving MC the box. Or MC spoke but his subordinate's name was written instead. Or an example from chapter 30 where someone was supposed to say "She, a mere captain, actually didn't want to sleep with me", but it was written as "After sleeping with me, she still wants to be a mere captain. She didn't want it".

Usually it's alright, but sometimes "I", "she", "she" etc are used wrongly, and with the above issues, following along is hard.

And chapter 9 is just a wall of text with no paragraphs??? I get that this happens sometimes but it's a pain to read.

3: Characterisation

MC's personality changed at around the chapter 30 mark which is why I dropped this. I understand that he was in his heat period, but he went from a cool, collected badass to someone who cried easily, got into fistfights at the drop of a hat, and lost his scheming intelligence.

ML fell in love s*upidly fast and the bad guys are dumber than bricks considering their positions.

4: Other issues

The plot became cliché. The characters started becoming flat too. By chapter 29, it's like everything started going downhill, which is surprising since this is when the action began and the plot should have picked up.

Frankly, I'm disappointed. I enjoyed the beginning of this novel. It was a good premise. It's just a shame that the ball was dropped. <<less

Can be summed up in two points.

One, the ABO setting is nothing but a plot device, it plays no actual role in anything.
It's only purpose is to highlight how good MC and ML fit together.

Second: Inconsistencies.
It would be a mediocre, cliché interstellar ABO novel without the unbelievable amount of inconsistencies.
I'm done with this at chapter 55 after another one that just broke the rest of my still surviving immersion.

These things happen constantly. The writer establishes a fact then overrides it as she goes, other things are conveniently glossed over, like MC's mental power.
No one questions it, not even people directly torn apart by it. I thought mental power exists in their universe but no, it doesn't, it's just that everyone acts like it's totally normal.

There are other things I highly disapprove of, like the continues use of r*pe to let MC/ML play the hero, and overall how the topic of r*pe, trafficking, and trauma was handled.
Obviously, the writer did no research at all but is throwing these topics around like confetti.

There are only 20 chapters left, if it doesn't magically change without any foreshadowing, MC being from a zombie-universe has no significance either.
None. He doesn't even show signs someone with such a background would have, he's yet another MC that doesn't fit his backstory.
It gets mentioned every now and then to explain mundane things, like MC not being a picky eater, but he has no nightmares, no PTSD, no trust issues - nothing. Neither is he ruthless enough, uncaring, or really anything that would make sense.

It's easy to see that the writer wanted to write a "cool" ABO story and that's it.
Soldiers have nothing on their mind but love/sex, they bring it up during the most inappropriate times, like right before/after a battle, during active planing of important things, etc.
The writer wanted to get MC and ML together, nothing else mattered to her, even the story's integrity got ruthlessly sacrificed for it.
Characterisation, romance, or execution, all of it makes little sense and is very juvenile, it's like reading a fanfiction written by some lonely teen trying to get the plot out of the way so the "good stuff" can happen.

There's a line between oversight and bumbling incompetence/lack of genuine interest in their own story, and this writer crossed it.

Focusing on romance is fine, but at least keep your nonsense backdrop-story consistent. It's the minimum requirement for any media.

Pardon me for my dumb review this is my first time doing a review.

So far so good, from the summary itself it seems to be a good story. I like the flow so far, how MC and ML interacting is fun.

Try to read it first for other dear readers and give a thought about the story.
