In the previous chapter, a reader left a comment sharing her thoughts: “If you write that ‘O,’ although not having a physical advantage, generally has much higher intelligence than ‘A,’ perhaps this worldview would be more balanced.”
I understand what you’re saying. This year, I’ve also been following Mrs. Xie’s ‘Parking Lot’ series, and her piece ABO Military Conference has such a setting.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Even Betas have advantages in her story and are equally powerful. I think it’s great. This is what the author wants to express about gender equality, an ideal worldview where no ABO is weaker than the other.

The way I understand ABO is more akin to an exaggerated version of the real world. The difference in intelligence between A and O isn’t significant. Of course, O might excel in intelligence overall compared to A, or may excel in certain areas (such as being faster, having quicker reactions, or possessing strong intuition—I’ve hinted at how Master Jin utilizes his advantages to defeat Alphas), but I ultimately didn’t make the advantages of O’s too prominent. Because, in this worldview, I want to convey that ‘gender is original sin.’ As long as A’s hold more social power, so-called equality is only superficial, and all the virtues, advantages, and qualities of O will not be truly recognized. Even though Master Jin is intelligent and capable, he still can’t openly reveal his gender. And what Ryan does represents the maximum exploitation of O’s by A’s in this world. This is the world in which Master Jin lives, and it’s also the reason for Bai Ning’s resistance in Eat the Consequences. I’ve exaggerated gender inequality here as much as possible, hoping that readers will say, “I never want to live in such a world.”

I’ve been a fan of novels and comics since I was young, and I’ve never thought there was anything wrong with these ‘less highbrow’ books. Because even in humorous works, or novels mainly about love, or even erotic literature, the author must imbue the story with a core that brings reflection if they want to move the reader. With this core, the story has the power to touch hearts, and readers will remember it. Without this core, it will surely be lost in the sea of books, never to be mentioned again. I’m not yet skilled enough in mastering stories, but I will always strive to write a good story.
Because of the comments from readers, I’ve thought of something to share with you all. I appreciate every comment, as it makes writing stories feel less like striking an empty palm and more like creating echoes that collide together.
Well said author nim. It’s called artistic freedom, writers are free to build their own fictional world.
