Ahhh DZL, one of my preferred writers. This is a relatively short book for DZL tbh (though I've only read 3 books), as many of DZL's popular books are over 500k CN words.
Well, the length of the book was a little short, as it was borderline rushed/ perfunctory. Based on the synopsis, the MC was reborn as a NEWLY BORN SON. You read that right. We read about the MC growing up since birth. At the ending, the MC was about mid-20s. So can you imagine squeezing in 20 years in a novel that can be finished in a day? There were just lots of time skips, especially skipping most of the school life. To satisfy the readers, there is one side CP to whet readers' appetite while waiting for the MC and ML to mature.
As usual in an ABO setting, there's discrimination among the secondary genders - Alpha being superior over other genders, yada yada. I can't judge how terrible the treatment of Omegas was, as the book wasn't explicit about the home environment of the general population. We are reading from the POV of the good guys, so the treatment of Omegas was fairly respectful, though they were mainly birthing machines. In general, Omegas did not have much future in the novel's society other than being destined to give birth since Betas have low birth rates. Based on the antagonists' actions, it seems as if they did not have much choice in their choice of spouse as well. I would say that the Alphas in the couples we read about all went through quite a few hardships. My fav side Alpha is definitely the poor toolman General.
There are quite a few plot twists in the novels. Some were expected, while some weren't.
Interactions between the MC and ML and between the other CPs were quite varied, as there were vast character differences between all the characters. There were lots of dogfood/ fluff/ sweetness with the number of CPs in the novels. Smut was none, as they were all fade-to-black. Lots of buns, but not much focus was given on them as we read about them growing up pretty quickly. MC's siblings in particular played such a minor role, even though MC had 3 other siblings. The lowest appearance rate was his 2 poor sisters.
There are surprisingly few female Alphas. Based on what I recall, there were only 2, which is pretty regrettable.
Overall, I feel that the novel was pretty interesting to read. Not the best ABO out there, but definitely nice to read. Worth a one-time read, but I feel it has low re-read value.
