I still don't get omegaverse, it feels like a fetish and a weird way to erase women - all the omegas in this book could be women and literally nothing in the story would change, there isn't even smut. And I don't like pregnancy talk in my BL books. If I wanted that, I would pick a het read. Idk man. This book would work perfectly fine without the alpha/omega thing, I don't feel like it adds anything.

Is it the law that every danmei must have a younger (step/half/adopted) brother who is a little slow to understand things and a little naive? Lu Yan here (bless his soul for finally noticing he even HAS a brother), Xue Meng in Erha, Jiang Cheng in MDZS, Qi Rong in TGCF (cousins count too), whatever the hell He Yu’s brother’s name was… I’m noticing a pattern xD

You know what my main complaint about this is? There’s like five freaking couples and barely any romance. The main two have cute moments (and are LITERALLY MARRIED), but Error: Metamorphosis by the same author had so many kissing scenes, cuddles, declaration of feelings, characters thinking about their partner’s beauty… - all that while also being fully fade to black and non explicit. I miss that here :(

You know maybe I cause reading blocks because I switch between books, unable to really get invested in any of them because I keep forgetting shit. So rn I will stay committed to Fallen Merman, I’ll make it to at least 70% or eat my words

Made it back to where I stopped last time. And - shocker - a female character?! At last?! Lin Qian has AMAZING ladies in the Error series, so having no women in The Fallen Merman has been so jarring... anyone who could be a woman is just a male omega... weird... but finally, one of the bad guys is legit an aplha woman, I could cry. She has not been on screen yet, just talked about :D but yay women actually exist!

Ahhh I love how deep the characters are, how all the little details build up. Stuff like Bai Chunian bringing up his “mini honeymoon” to literally everyone and anyone without prompting, because he wants go show off since he is a romantic softie at heart… You don’t just get told character is shy or something, you see it happen without the author hitting you over the head with descriptions. I love her writing

(continued because I hit the limit: I mean the omegas are described as being petite, cute, physically weaker, motherly, nurturing. Like stereotypical women. Like. I know the superpowers are tied to the glands, but you could just have superpowers. I just don't understand WHY there are alphas and omegas since it doesn't make a difference, other than the alphas having crushes on the omegas. And I can't stress how in the past 2k pages, there has been literally one woman. Every mother that appeared ended up being a male omega. It's so weird D: just weirdly redundant. I don't wanna be a hater I just don't understand this here. I get it in smut novels, but there's no smut in Fallen Merman)
