The Fallen Merman

My Thoughts on The Fallen Merman

"The Fallen Merman" was quite the ride! This book pulled me in with its unique blend of omegaverse, action, and sci-fi elements. While I went in expecting a simple, fluffy story, I quickly realized that this novel had a lot more depth than I initially anticipated.

First Impressions

My first impression was a bit mixed. The initial chapters had a lighter feel, but as I delved deeper, the plot thickened with mysteries, human experimentation, and some surprisingly dark themes. It definitely subverted my expectations in a good way.

What Works Well

The world-building is phenomenal. The author seamlessly blends the ABO genre with sci-fi, creating a unique and engaging universe. The characters, both the main pair and the supporting cast, are incredibly well-developed. I found myself invested in their individual stories and struggles. The action sequences are also a major selling point. The fight scenes are exciting and well-choreographed. The relationship between Bai Chunian and Rimbaud is truly unique. Their dynamic is complex, and their character growth throughout the story is compelling. I especially appreciated how the novel challenges typical ABO roles, presenting Omegas as strong and capable individuals. The plot is intricate and full of twists and turns, keeping me hooked from beginning to end.

Areas of Concern

I can see how some readers might find certain aspects of the story confusing at times. The sheer amount of information, especially regarding weapons and abilities, can be overwhelming. And while I appreciated the complexity of the plot, I felt like some plot points dragged on a bit too much.

Final Verdict

Despite a few minor drawbacks, "The Fallen Merman" is a truly captivating novel. The world-building, characters, and plot twists kept me thoroughly entertained. It's a must-read for anyone looking for a unique and action-packed omegaverse story with depth and heart. I give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
