The "rape" tag is a serious matter, and I'll discuss character development later. This story is set in an Omegaverse-inspired world, where alphas appear to lack self-control around the omega protagonist. Thankfully, the author does not use this as an excuse for the main characters' (MLs) terrible behavior. The first ML is portrayed as a despicable individual, who viciously rapes a former saint until she dies. In his perspective, her doll-like demeanor and appearance fueled his sexual violence, as he sought to break her facade and provoke a human response from her. He despises how the saint seemed emotionless, yet treats all of them without empathy.
The original female lead (OG FL) actually dies during one of these brutal sexual encounters. The ML finds the act disgusting because he was interacting with a dead body, but he doesn't seem to feel remorse for taking a life.
Frankly, I'm not a fan of this genre with explicit sexual violence or non-consensual elements. However, I continued reading because I had strong negative feelings towards the ML and hoped for a plot twist where she escapes him, causing him profound suffering. I was looking for some form of redemption or growth for the character, but it doesn't seem like that's the focus of this novel.
In this Omegaverse context, the MC's body is biologically inclined to desire the alphas, even if she fears them or rejects the objectification. It leaves me uncertain if she will genuinely want to leave this situation in the long run.
Regarding plot and character development, there isn't much beyond the central theme of the MLs trying to control the MC. The story appears to revolve around their desires, acting mostly as a backdrop for the sexual content.
