Tropical Island Novel Review

My Thoughts on Tropical Island

"Tropical Island" promised a steamy, action-packed omegaverse adventure, and for the most part, it delivered. I went in expecting a thrilling blend of romance, mystery, and mature themes, and I wasn't entirely disappointed. While the novel has its flaws, the unique setting and compelling characters kept me hooked.

First Impressions

The premise itself is intriguing: a BL story set on a tropical island is not something you see every day. The cover art is definitely eye-catching and pulled me in immediately. I was ready for a wild ride of survival, romance, and maybe a little bit of cannibalism (yes, you read that right!).

What Works Well

The chemistry between the MC and ML is undeniable. The initial dynamic of a seemingly arrogant alpha softening into a caring partner was well-executed. I appreciated that the MC wasn't a helpless omega, and the author did a good job of portraying his strengths and vulnerabilities in a realistic way, given the circumstances. The smut scenes were definitely hot, and the action sequences kept the plot moving at a brisk pace.

Areas of Concern

While the story started strong, I felt like the middle faltered a bit, and the ending was too abrupt. I was left wanting more development in the characters' relationship and a more satisfying resolution to the overall plot. Also, the ML's personality shift felt a little too drastic at times. He goes from being an alpha to a green flag, which is not a bad thing, but it felt a little too convenient and unrealistic. I also found the MC's military background to be underutilized.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Tropical Island" is a decent read if you're looking for a quick, smutty omegaverse story with a unique setting. While it's not perfect, the compelling characters and thrilling plot make it an enjoyable experience. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. I just wish there had been more side stories to flesh out the world and characters.
