Status Updates From Year of the Rabbit: Shifter...

I don't understand this super harvest Moon problem. Like, bro. Just stay home. Hide in the basement or something. Are you telling me they're going to smell you through the walls and break down the door?

Summary: "it's not a love triangle"
Book: very clearly a love triangle?? AND he's gonna end up with the wrong guy!

Supposedly Elliot is his fated, but he's clearly so much more immediately, naturally and inexplicably attracted to jun??

They keep saying he's a beta, but I feel like they're just trying to make it sound like "oh look I'm subverting omegaverse tropes!" when they're really not. Because he's literally just an omega. Like, he's got alphas crawling all over him, and he needs to be protected on a full moon because he goes into a super heat?

Okay, I appreciate that this is reading a bit like danmei. But also, how the fuck do you introduce jun and then expect us to root for elliot. I don't like golden retriever types, so hopefully his personality doesn't match his shifter type. Sucks already knowing that the as of yet unattractive one is endgame. Sigh. Me:

"Damn, Jun is hot." *rereads summary* "well fuck, guess I'm setting myself up for disappointment."

Hold up.. did Levy just randomly join an advanced calc class in the middle of a semester or sth? What happened to a) prereqs, because even if his family can cheat his way into the school, that shouldn't get him placed ahead (set up for failure much) and b) mr prof bought cupcakes for an annoying kid, meaning he had to have already met the kid, and if this were the first class or a first year class, he wouldn't have..

If I wasn’t ARC reading this I would have quit already. Levy is INSUFFERABLE OMFG
