To be honest, I think people who rate this novel so high are just really... generous, given the scarcity of straight (reverse) ABO. The writing is flowery, meandering and repetitive. The FL is beautiful. The FL is gorgeous. The FL is classy and wears a choker, a suit and gold rimmed glasses. Spoiler
"Song Yi looked at her calmly. She buckled the restraint ring slowly and gracefully. She fumbled around her neck with her snow-white smooth hand, and then took it back when she was sure to wear it. Everything she does looks beautiful, with unbelievable exquisiteness. Even with her eyes down, her long, thick eyelashes resemble a feather fan in a beautiful painting"

[collapse]Not to mention the excessive amount of description about the smells and pheromones and glands. I know it's in the tin, but like... You still have s*x ed class in university? Despite it being mandatory since elementary school? It's like the world is new to the concept of second gender with everyone talking so much about it all the time. You're just plain s*upid if you go into an ABO novel and get icky about reading ABO stuff. Which... might be true. I don't have anything against ABO, but to have the leads developing feelings based on smell alone seems so lazy? Not to mention how freaking cursed it is for the smell to be creamy. CREAMY. Of all the smells in the world, this dude had to smell creamy.And don't say they will only develop their feelings after getting to know each other, because while that might be true for the ML, the FL is already a completely different character from chapter 1. She went from an immortal cold monk in two lifetimes to a besotted and possessive alpha who smiles all the time in two days.
