Pheromone Collision

A prestigious medical student and beauty, Jiang Li, at A University, has two secrets. 1. His pheromones are colorless and odorless, yet they cause all Alphas to suffer from impotence.2. He has a severe fear of public speaking, to the extent that he experiences breathing difficulties and cannot complete his graduation defense. The defense involves a panel of 33 professors taking turns to ask questions, and no one is exempt, except for those in the late stages of pregnancy who can opt for a grading system. Jiang Li: It’s a good idea, but— Coincidentally, a friend introduces him to a mysterious Alpha with an uncontrollable pheromone storm syndrome. Surprisingly, there is someone who can smell his pheromones without suffering impotence, and Jiang Li manages to calm him down. Six months later, at the A University graduate defense. Jiang Li’s lower abdomen is bulging, his lips are pale, and he doesn’t look at the panel of professors throughout his presentation. By the end, his clothes are soaked with cold sweat. His research is flawless, and the room is silent. The scoring device is about to announce a perfect score— Suddenly, a deep voice comes from the back row. “On the night of December 3rd, were you really in the laboratory?” Cen Lang opens the lab record book, his long fingers pressing on the date, and he looks up to ask the question coldly. Jiang Li, in the midst of a panic attack, clings to the table, his face uncontrollably turning deathly pale: “Yes.”What? Can’t I climb up and do experiments? Is that not allowed? Cen Lang, tormented by the pheromone storm for twelve years, causes anyone close to him during an episode to suffer from neuralgia as an aftereffect. Until one day, a deity briefly descended. Yet, it left him with a counterfeit. Cen Lang’s hands are folded, lazily looking at Jiang Li, his eyes dangerous: “The person who deceived me in this world—”Jiang Li: “Can I extract a tube of your pheromones?”Cen Lang: “…Fine.”

## My Thoughts on Pheromone Collision "Pheromone Collision" promised a fluffy, engaging omegaverse romance, and while it delivered on some fronts, it stumbled a bit in others. I went in expecting a lighthearted read, and that's largely what I got, but with a few caveats. ### First Impressions The premise immediately grabbed me: a clever MC navigating the complexities of an ABO world. I was eager to see how the dynamics would play out, especially with the promise of a "doting" love interest. The initial chapters were intriguing, setting the stage for a potentially captivating story. ### What Works Well The core strength of "Pheromone Collision" lies in its characters. I found the MC to be particularly amusing, with his knack for finding loopholes and outsmarting the ML. Their interactions were often funny and engaging, and I appreciated the slow burn of their relationship. The story is undeniably fluffy and sweet, providing a welcome escape. I also enjoyed the family interactions and the glimpses into their domestic life, especially the extras focusing on their child. The "what if" scenario exploring their childhood was a particularly nice touch. ### Areas of Concern Unfortunately, the translation quality significantly hampered my enjoyment. The inconsistent naming of the MC (Ping/Li/Ji/Fu/Chuang/Xin/Jun/Bo, etc.) was incredibly jarring and disrupted the flow of the story. It became difficult to fully immerse myself when I was constantly second-guessing who was being referred to. The translation issues extended beyond just names. There was a lack of editing and an occasional MTL feel, making it harder to follow the plot at times. This is a shame because the underlying story has potential, but the poor translation obscures it. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, "Pheromone Collision" ultimately won me over with its charming characters and fluffy romance. If you can overlook the translation issues and focus on the core story, there's a lot to enjoy here. I'd recommend it with the caveat that you might need some patience to navigate the rough patches in the translation. Overall, it's a lighthearted and entertaining read that could be even better with a more polished translation.
