Picking Up An Alpha On Garbage Star Chapter 56 Discussion

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.

Spoiler

MC was said, and shown, to be fitter and stronger than any Omega and even many Alpha.

As soon as he's together with the ML, he suddenly has many problems due to the things his body has gone through before he took it over. He gets sick easily, can't take the cold, yada yada, all just so ML, the strong Alpha, can pamper the smol Omega MC.

On top of that, MC would have no problem with getting pregnant. The whole time he was shown and described as someone who protects his people, fights for his ideals, and is especially logical instead of emotional.

But now he's fine with getting pregnant and having a child – while he's in die middle of a rebellion. Activity planning to take revenge and overthrow an effing interstellar government. Yes, logical timing for getting yourself into an incredibly vulnerably state and subjecting a newborn to potential war and death.

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.
