    The only time I saw raws for an ABO was in a QT, and for that instance, they just went with A, B, O, I think...

    No, most ABO stories in Chinese just use the English words (yes, they literally type out "Alpha", "Omega", "Beta" in between the Chinese characters).

    In the story you're referring to, the author made up their own Chinese terms for ABO since it was an ancient Chinese setting, so having English words in there would disrupt the flavor of the text. But, in all other cases I've read, these terms are always written in English.

    Yeah, I read those but actually came across one but forgot the title or even if it was a novel or manga. Though, I think I will change the setting to something else similar now.
