Randomly decided to check out the story a few days ago, and now I’m hooked! Binged all 59 chapters and eagerly awaiting more!
however, I’ve had one burning question soon after I started reading. Was any of your story inspired by the Omega series from Ackbar and Jacksmith? The whole setup with normal people, specs and the Fang/Chen Dynasty/Amrita Corporation seems an awful lot like the alphas, betas and Omegas/Aegis from the Omega series.
Not calling anyone out for plagiarism, and it’s not like the two works don’t have their differences (Deliverance has way more worldbuilding/backstory, and an almost anime-like quality in many spots… bothe great things), but from the thousand foot level (no pun intended), it feels like there’s a ton of similarities to Omega.

Wow that’s a lot to get through in a few days, I’m flattered!
So I’ve actually not read all of the Omegas Series yet. I’ve read Inheritance, Homecoming, Tough Love and currently checking in on Animus but I can’t say I’m enough of an expert on the series to claim it as inspiration.
Deliverance actually does take a lot of inspiration from a popular Webtoon called “UnOrdinary”, with Jisoo being originally loosely based off the main character John from that series. Similarly the structure of Deliverance is strongly based off the storytelling of UnOrdinary which slowly reveals secrets and more information about the world over time. As for the mythology and magic involved in this final arc of the story, much of the inspiration to include that is taken from a game called Genshin Impact. Many characters are named after Genshin characters or places (partially because I needed a variety of Chinese names) such as Xiangling, Lihua, Xiao, and Keqing. Other characters names are taken from anime as well and lots of anime have been my inspiration too, such as Eren from Attack on Titan, Satsuki from Kill la Kill etc.
I don’t think I’ve come close to reaching the incredibly quality of that series, so I do take it as a compliment to see people comparing them favorably! Thank you so much for the feedback!
