Description
※ The background and setting of this work are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to actual people, places, organizations, or companies is purely coincidental. Please also be advised that the work includes depictions of coercive relationships with third parties. Marvin, who overcame the misfortune of being born a “rut baby” and served as a secret agent for the National Security Intelligence Bureau, gets caught up in a conspiracy during a mission and is forcibly transformed. Hiding his identity, he now works at a rural hotel, quietly awaiting his return. One day, a prosecutor named Jang Jinwoo appears before him. For some reason, despite Marvin’s lack of pheromones, Jinwoo seems to know from the start that Marvin is an omega… * “I’ve been curious about something for a while now. If you work at a place like this, do you get free heat relief services?” “…Excuse me?” Marvin reflexively responded to the sudden question. “I don’t think someone with a partner would leave you in this state, so I figured maybe you handled it within the establishment.” “I’m not sure what you mean…” “I’m talking about you, Manager. You’re in heat, aren’t you? Do you really think the smell of cigarettes is enough to cover it up?” At that moment, Marvin’s face stiffened. His black pupils, hidden in the shadows, trembled slightly.

My Thoughts on Acidic Scent
"Acidic Scent" has definitely grabbed my attention, and based on what I've read, I can see why others are hooked too. This omegaverse story takes a different approach than what I'm used to, and I'm all for it. The blend of action, drama, and romance, all set against a backdrop of contracts and revenge, makes for a compelling read.
First Impressions
My first impression was strong, largely due to the unique premise. The idea of a former Alpha agent being turned into a half-Omega, stripped of his status, is a fantastic hook. It immediately sets up a world of unfair power dynamics and a protagonist ripe for a compelling character arc. Plus, that cover art is absolutely stunning; I can see why people keep going back to admire it!
What Works Well
What truly shines in "Acidic Scent" is the world-building. It feels meticulously crafted, adding depth and believability to the omegaverse setting. Marvin, the MC, is a standout character. His resilience and strength, even after his transformation, make him incredibly admirable. He doesn't conform to typical Omega stereotypes, maintaining his Alpha-like fighting spirit, which I really appreciate.
The relationship between Marvin and Jin-woo, the ML, is another high point. Their partnership feels mutually beneficial, avoiding any sense of one-sidedness. Jin-woo's unwavering support and genuine admiration for Marvin are heartwarming, and I'm eager to see their relationship develop further. The slow-burn romance definitely adds to the tension and intrigue. The author's writing style is engaging, and the pacing keeps me invested without feeling rushed.

Overall, "Acidic Scent" is a captivating read. The strong world-building, well-developed characters, and intriguing plot make it a standout in the omegaverse genre. While the slow-burn romance might test some readers' patience, I find it adds to the overall tension and anticipation. I highly recommend diving into this story, but be warned: it's ongoing, and you might find yourself impatiently waiting for the next update!
