Description
In a typical ABO society, alphas are in dominant positions while omegas are merely child-bearing resources, laying in the palm of the alphas’ hands. There was no freedom, no human rights, and no right to regular education. Their main duty in life was to get pregnant and give birth. Until one day, everything reversed.

My Thoughts on Reverse
"Reverse" is a completed yaoi omegaverse novel with a blend of drama and romance that I recently dove into, and it certainly left me with a lot to unpack. While the premise initially intrigued me, the execution proved to be a bit of a mixed bag.
First Impressions
The initial hook of "Reverse" lies in its subversion of typical ABO tropes, or at least that's what I was expecting. I was quickly disabused of that notion when I realized that this was a heavier, more angst-ridden story than I anticipated. The marriage of convenience setup, coupled with wealthy characters and a cold love interest, painted a picture of potential drama, but the intensity of the plot definitely took me by surprise.
What Works Well
Many readers praised the plot's ability to captivate, and I have to agree. Despite some reservations, I found myself drawn into the narrative and eager to see how things would unfold. The story has a way of pulling you in, even when the content becomes emotionally challenging. Several reviewers mentioned that the male lead undergoes significant character development, transforming from an "a**hole" into a better person. This redemption arc, while perhaps familiar, seems to be a key element that keeps readers invested. Also, the bonus chapter is a must-read, as it provides a more satisfying conclusion to the story.
Areas of Concern
However, there were aspects that gave me pause. The level of angst and tragedy can become overwhelming, and I can see why some readers might find the story too emotionally taxing. The way the author depicts mental illness, particularly in the male lead, is a point of contention. It felt like the ML was made to suffer immensely, perhaps even gratuitously. I was also hoping for more character development from the MC.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Reverse" is a story that elicits strong reactions. While the plot is engaging and the character development of the ML is commendable, the heavy angst, potentially problematic portrayal of mental illness, and abrupt ending may not appeal to all readers. I'd say it's a 3 out of 5. Proceed with caution, and be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster.
