Description

As the most beautiful omega from the Silver Moon clan within the last decade, Yu Lan was abducted as a young child. When he was about to be sold to a wealthy businessman at the age of 22, he managed to escape. Barefoot and running desperately. -And ended up crashing into the arms of a man. When Yu Lan first met Shao Mingyu, the man was handsome and elegant, and with a calm expression, he said to him, “I won’t touch you, come back with me.” So Yu Lan was ignorantly picked up by the man and moved into his manor. He didn’t know why the man took care of him, but he hid his affection within his heart. He obediently took inhibitors on a regular basis, not wanting to lose himself during his heat and do something… something terrible to this man he had a crush on. Until one day later, when Yu Lan wanted to give himself an injection again, the man clasped his wrist and asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you still need to use inhibitors?” Shao Mingyu gazed at him, his voice low and soft, “Little grape, don’t use it anymore, okay?” Yu Lan’s eyes widened. As the man’s kiss fell, the inhibitor fell from his hands to the floor. Soon after, news of the Shao family’s young master, the top alpha that everyone was paying attention to’s, marriage spread like wildfire.

My Thoughts on After Being Picked up by the Top Alpha

"After Being Picked up by the Top Alpha" is a novel that certainly evokes strong feelings, and diving into it was quite the experience. While the premise intrigued me, the execution seems to be a point of contention for many readers, myself included in some regards.

First Impressions

Initially, the story pulls you in with its blend of sci-fi and omegaverse elements, hinting at a potentially unique take on the genre. The idea of a trafficked individual finding solace with a powerful Alpha is compelling. However, the beginning is where the problems start to arise.

What Works Well

The strongest praise centers around the "fluff" factor. Many readers adored the sweetness between the MC and ML, finding it a comforting escape from more angsty stories. I can see the appeal; the devotion of the ML is definitely a highlight. Some also appreciated the relatively quick resolution of conflicts, avoiding drawn-out misunderstandings. The ending, with its happy family, seems to have resonated positively with those seeking a feel-good story. Some readers felt the plot was well-written considering the length of the story.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, the pacing and character development are major stumbling blocks. The romance unfolds at breakneck speed, with the MC readily trusting the ML after a traumatic past. This lack of realism extends to the MC's rehabilitation, which feels rushed and undermines the severity of his experiences. I also found the ML's motivations somewhat flimsy. His obsession with the MC stemming from a brief childhood encounter feels unconvincing and a bit unsettling. The lack of subtlety in the plot and character interactions also detracts from the overall experience.

Final Verdict

"After Being Picked up by the Top Alpha" is a novel with potential, but its fast pacing, underdeveloped characters, and questionable plot points ultimately hinder its success. While it offers moments of fluff and a happy ending, readers seeking depth and realism may be left wanting. If you're looking for a light, quick read and can suspend your disbelief, you might find enjoyment here. However, be prepared for a bumpy ride.
