## My Thoughts on ABO Cadets "ABO Cadets" promised a blend of sci-fi, mecha action, and omegaverse romance, and as a fan of all three, I dove in with high hopes. While the novel ultimately delivered an enjoyable experience, it wasn't without its quirks and flaws. ### First Impressions The premise is immediately intriguing: a protagonist, Lin Yuan, raised as a beta, unknowingly enters a military academy teeming with alphas while secretly being a rare male omega. This sets the stage for a potentially explosive mix of school life, military training, and the ever-present omegaverse dynamics. I was quickly drawn into the world and eager to see how Lin Yuan would navigate this complex situation. ### What Works Well I found myself genuinely invested in the characters, particularly the main couple, Lin Yuan and Caesar. Their relationship, while perhaps a bit rushed for some, had moments of genuine sweetness and tenderness that I appreciated. The exploration of family dynamics, especially the backstories of Lin Yuan's parents and other side couples, added depth to the narrative. I also liked the author's worldbuilding, which mixed military, sci-fi, and monarch themes that felt unique. ### Areas of Concern However, the novel wasn't without its shortcomings. Some found the science aspects weak and implausible, with physics being used incorrectly at times. Others were concerned by the initial premise of Lin Yuan being kept in the dark about his omega status, which they felt was contrived and potentially dangerous. Additionally, some readers found the battle scenes lacking in detail and suspense, and the plot relied too heavily on overused tropes. The beginning was also a concern, with the series not starting properly until after a few chapters. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some reviews brought up concerns about consent and potentially manipulative dynamics within the relationships. The initial interactions between Lin Yuan's parents, involving forced marking, were particularly troubling for some readers. There were also concerns about Lin Yuan giving up his military career at the end, feeling that his agency was taken away for the sake of a "happy ending." ### Final Verdict Overall, "ABO Cadets" is a flawed but ultimately enjoyable read. It offers a unique blend of genres and some genuinely engaging characters, but it's important to be aware of the potential issues with consent and the occasionally shaky plot. If you're looking for a lighthearted omegaverse story with a focus on romance and family, this might be worth checking out, but go in with realistic expectations.
