ABO Cadets

I adore this narrative! The Omegaverse concept is prominently featured, where omegas are seen as珍贵 yet oppressed, lacking fundamental human rights. Their births are meticulously documented, and they're destined to bear children repeatedly for their alphas. However, the main character (ML) appears to exhibit common sense, which alleviates my concerns.

Here's a brief summary of the plot:

Lin Yuan, the protagonist, is officially registered as a male Beta but is actually an extremely rare male omega. He undergoes a sex change program and receives injections to suppress his omega instincts. If he continues until he turns 20, he'll become a genuine Beta. At a military academy, his mother can only supply him with pills. Lin Yuan is believed to be the offspring of Marshal Rosen and disgraced Major General Lin Yu. Both were omegas in disguise; Lin Yu suppressed his omega traits and excelled as a Beta, eventually becoming a Major General with his own corps.

During an operation, Lin Yu's suppressant fails, leading to an omega heat. His crush, Rosen, helps him navigate the heat. However, the military uncovers Lin Yu's deception, stripping him of his accomplishments and sentencing him to life imprisonment. Fortunately, Rosen rescues him due to his pregnancy, and the punishment reduces to house arrest in Rosen's apartment. But Lin Yu chooses to escape, leaving Rosen heartbroken. A spacecraft later found crashed in a space storm with Lin Yu's blood on the debris, and Rosen erects a memorial in his garden, turning cold.

The story seems lighthearted despite its initial complications. I'm excited to see how it unfolds. Plus, the translation is clean and well-done, translator!

Now, back to Lin Yuan, who genuinely believes he's a Beta and unaware of his mother's secret. His roommate, Prince Caesar, has an incredibly sensitive nose, picking up on Lin Yuan's omega scent, although the prince doubts himself.

Looking forward to the story's progression without any major tragedies. Thank you for the translation, translator!

Before you criticize the main character (MC) for attending the school as an omega or for being innocent, it's essential to consider that MC was raised as a beta. Moreover, their upbringing focused primarily on living a peaceful life on their small planet. The MC's family had intentions for them to live a normal life, so it's not their fault they didn't disclose MC's omega status.

If this story takes place in the same universe as "Runaway Guide," there might be inconsistencies, but since I'm aware of that, I'm willing to overlook them. If you're looking for a novel with a detailed explanation of every aspect, perhaps this isn't the right choice for you. As someone who enjoyed the previous novel, I'm genuinely excited to dive into this one.

I adore all the relationships in this novel. It's a heartwarming tale of an Omega and an Alpha coming together. The protagonist's Omega status is incredibly delicate, necessitating them to conceal it, even from themselves, through deception. The MC consistently believes they are a Beta due to their adoptive parents, both Betas, making it impossible for them to have offspring with different traits. Thus, they choose to lie about their origins to prevent the MC from discovering their adoption and potentially uncovering truths that could expose them to harmful secrets during a tumultuous time for Omegas in terms of politics and warfare. Thankfully, they eventually resolve their issues, leading to a joyful conclusion. 🎉👏👏

The story revolves around a military science fiction fantasy world, featuring epic mecha battles and intricate political maneuverings. It stands out as an entertaining tale with multiple captivating couples, making it a delightful read. The slow-burning romances and the alpha characters' loving devotion to their omega partners create a heartwarming dynamic. The alphas consistently demonstrate their unwavering commitment to their chosen omegas, which adds a satisfying depth to the narrative. Overall, it's a feel-good story that I greatly appreciate.

Well, I decided to read it mainly due to its relatively short length and my interest in the supporting characters, particularly Ling Yu and Rosen. Frankly, I find myself skimming through most parts to get to their storylines. The characters tend to be one-dimensional, predictable, and lacking depth, which makes it difficult for me to fully support the main protagonists. It's riddled with cliches and fails to stand out as something extraordinary or memorable. However, if you're looking for a casual read with nothing else on your plate, it's passable.

The plot and translations deserve a solid 5 stars. My interest compelled me to read it via machine translation, and I appreciated how everything connected. I sincerely hope that a group like Chrysanthemum, Rainbow, or Exiled Rebels could take on the translation, and I would be eternally grateful for their efforts.

"I am thoroughly enjoying the novel and the translation thus far. The main character is likable, and I find all the other characters engaging.恳请尽快完成翻译，真的非常感谢！😊"

Finally! After struggling with Google Translate for about four to five days (my eyes ache and my head is pounding from lack of sleep ???), it was all worth it. This is incredibly adorable, and I absolutely loved it. The story is fantastic – not your typical tale of an overpowering general or president who claims you as theirs; it's a heartwarming, genuine love story instead.

The main character possesses remarkable talent but tends to be emotionally cautious and straightforward. On the other hand, the male lead is handsome, gentle, patient, and caring – he's just amazing in every way.

Due to my dizziness, I can't fully express my thoughts right now, but I apologize. Trust me, this novel is well worth your time and the lost sleep! I adored it! ????

This book is quite challenging to read. Although I'm a fan of the ABO/Omegaverse genre, I'm unable to proceed further. The characters lack depth, and the main character's (ML) affection for the protagonist develops almost instantaneously after their initial meeting, without a proper reason. All the intriguing aspects about the MC are disclosed early on, leaving no room for intrigue or curiosity.

For instance, the revelation of the MC's parentage and background is abruptly presented, not as a gradual discovery for the character. The author reveals this backstory too soon, eliminating any suspense or mystery for the reader. The explanation of the relationship between the MC's parents is poorly executed and rushed. The omega father heats up unexpectedly during a crucial mission, and the alpha father defies his orders to stay away, leading to a clichéd scenario involving heat, hormones, and a hidden crush. The author could have developed the story more thoughtfully, but instead, the omega father's pregnancy and disappearance happen abruptly, followed by an alpha's surprise confession. It reads like a hastily written fanfiction targeted at younger audiences, with rushed plot points and cringe-worthy inner monologues. I simply cannot continue reading.

3.5/5 Stars: Honestly, the story of the previous generation holds more intrigue than the current one. Initially, I was captivated by the tale of the lone Omega general and his disappearance – that seemed like the highlight of the novel. Even his brother's narrative was compelling.

The title should be "AO Cadets" instead of "ABO Cadets," considering there isn't a notable Beta character. Betas appear as mere supporting backgrounds, almost non-existent. No Alpha-Beta pair among the main characters is featured.

It's surprising in this era of interstellar advancements, where memory transfers take hours, they still haven't found a solution for estrus. Despite having brilliant scientists, none could create a medication to suppress it for a year. This implies that Omegas, no matter how powerful, still rely on Alphas.

Everyone's inhibitor conveniently fails, and their Alphas are conveniently around to "mark" them. Lin Yuan's resistance to acting like an Omega makes sense, but his estrus incident actually benefited Caesar, as he easily found an Omega for himself. The protagonist's inhibitor doesn't affect him, leading to a permanent marking. Wow!

From an Alpha's perspective, Omegas are seen as needing constant protection. They claim to respect Omega autonomy and strength, but treat them like delicate treasures. If an Omega doesn't wish to have children, Alphas express disappointment, as if the world is ending. This hypocrisy is disappointing.

I appreciate that the protagonist didn't agree to pregnancy impulsively; otherwise, I might have stopped reading. As for Caesar's disappointment, come on, you're only 18, and your partner can potentially bear children for a century. Don't overreact.

Once again, everyone's pregnancy coincides. Congratulations.

Overall, while there are some redeeming aspects, the lack of significant Beta characters, the reliance on Alpha-Omega dynamics, and the inconsistencies in the plot frustrate. However, the protagonist's decisions and the portrayal of relationships deserve credit.

I had to stop reading due to this issue - the portrayal of AO's relationship felt insincere to me. The Omega heat concept doesn't resonate with my preferences either. Moreover, the story's predictability takes away from its mystery, as I could anticipate key plot points from the beginning, like the identities of the characters' parents and their backgrounds.

Regarding the omega characters, I understand their situation might seem naive, attending school surrounded by alphas to avoid discovery. However, it's odd to label them as rebels when their identities are already known. I find it hard to accept the MC's parents expecting a second child, considering they didn't adequately care for the firstborn and lacked affection.

Additionally, I disagree with the ML's emotional scene where he appears sad over the MC's reluctance to bear a child. After all, the MC is only 18 and still in the process of completing their education.

If obtaining genuine and unforced consent is crucial to your reading preferences, I wouldn't suggest delving into this narrative. The content took me to unsettling places, and it was a challenging read for me.

Despite the premise of an omegaverse, the omega characters portrayed are surprisingly well-developed. Lin Yuan, in particular, stands out as a strong individual with aspirations and dreams he refuses to abandon, which I appreciate.

However, the romantic aspects feel manipulative at times, ironic considering the theme of equality. While some omegas attempt to break free, the relationships often serve more as constraints, except for Snow and Brian, whose love predates their markings. The plot employs clichés and questionable justifications for dubious consent and non-consensual situations, even involving the main couple. Lin Yuan, despite his potential, sacrifices his military career due to feeling indebted to Caesar for allowing him to live independently, essentially becoming a captive partner.

The romances themselves are questionable, as the omegas seem to be coerced into emotions by their alphas, who treat them like possessions. Alphas' behavior towards omegas is paternalistic, undervaluing their strength. It's disheartening to see Lin Yuan reduced to a role defined by his value as a breeder, especially when even his parents and Brian's parents fall into similar dynamics. The author sacrifices character development for a forced "happily ever after," stripping away their emotions and aspirations.

Additionally, the excessive focus on sexual content distracts from the plot, and the lack of conflict weakens the storytelling. The author prioritized romance and sex over substance, resulting in a disappointing narrative. A word of advice to aspiring writers: a "happy ending" doesn't guarantee quality; this story does not exemplify that.
