So, obviously, if I've read as far as the 700s, I did like it.Side characters: 5/5 (I love characters with their own personalities, distinct appearances, backstories and so on. Somehow even with so many side characters, they're all memorable in their own way without feeling overbearing) MC: 4/5 I love me a good unreliable narrator. Also, the simping gets old. WE GET IT. KISHIAR IS HOT. Also OP but in a refreshing way...? His 'awakener abilities' (basically superpowers) are OP as hell. Beware the power couple trope. Literally everything folds in either fear, or respect for him.ML (Kishiar) : 5/5 I love love. Kishiar is the best. (crying) He's the best. The whole green forest. I wish I could include a picture of him smiling. He's the most precious ever. Beware the tragic backstory of your local sunshine character.Story: 3/5 Okay I be real. It is waaaay too long. At this point the plot has me in exasperated tears. Why is this guy still making trouble? Why are we still investigating this? And so on. Especially the author's need to never resolve conflict cleanly (everything comes around to be somehow significant later) . This really didn't need to be this long. 700 chapters of maybe 3-4 major plotlines... Sigh? Well, it's fine, it all comes together in the end.About the omegaverse:I don't usually read ABO. In fact, I skipped over reading this novel despite its popularity for this very reason. However... the ABO concepts are mild. The main thing is that they're awakeners with strange powers... and the ABO is presented as second genders, which are manifested later on. Really, it's manageable, to be honest. I'm not sure why it's even there actually... But don't be scared off because of that. It's manageable, even for those that don't particularly like it like me.As to why I read so far... and why I'm going to continue keeping up with it. Long story short, the couple's chemistry. I'm a sucker for chemistry. Kishiar is my little princess (grown ass man..) and i'd do anything for him. Intersting characters can carry the slow-paced story :)
