I am pretty sure that hiding one's secondary gender isn't an uncommon thing in this omegaverse. Chapter 2 page 14, chapter 6 page 23 and the start of chapter 7 clearly shows us that asking someone's secondary gender is considered sexual harrasment regardless if the person is an alpha or omega.
The MC isn't meek and shy about his sec gender because it just doesn't affect him much at all. Chapter 3 page 20 - we find that chips exist that basically help omegas hide their sec gender and so no one can easily identify it.
Also MC's personality isn't about being an omega at all. From what I have read till now the MC has more struggles related to his past as a former athlete than his gender.
I don't know what expectations you have of this story but from what I have heard in the comments, the story is a slowburn with maybe getting a kiss scene nearing the end of season 2.
I kinda feel like you are just burned out or not in the mood of reading this type of story. Maybe you should just drop this story for now and read it in the future when you do feel like you can withstand the boring parts in the beginning. Don't force yourself to read something otherwise you would only end up hating it.
Thank you for your nice reply and explanation. Yes I guess this much slow burn is not my thing at the moment so I have already dropped the story as soon as I left the comment.
NAURRR too bad it will get better and interesting later on, MAN IVE READ 180 CHAPTERS OF THE NOVEL NONSTOP BECAUSE IT WAS SO GOODD. How the artist handled ABOverse WAS FUCKING BANGINGGGGG.
I’ve read a bunch of omegaverse and I’d say this really stands out from the standard meek omega macho male alpha stuff where the ABO only exists to lazily justify their attraction or to cause an sa scene and either alpha saves omega and becomes his “not like other alphas hero’, or it happens between them and omega is now stuck with him stuff
Here ABO is barely even relevant in the story of their romance or even in their world cause omegas can have chips that turn off their pheromones and heats don’t happen, it’s more about them and their back and forth till they get together and a lot of sport plot tho idk if manhwa will focus on that as much as novel did, but they’re REALLY not trait caricatures,
Honestly if you have the time and don’t mind it not being visual I’d recommend to read (or listen to it with a screen reader) the novel cause the story is hella charming and lovely, I read it so now I don’t feel impatient and annoyed with the manhwa moving slowly

It seems based on both of your opinions that it is indeed different from the usual. Since I left the comment I had time to think about it and I'm kinda sure I shouldn't be reading ABOverse. I'm not sure however why I always give them a chance when I very well know they are almost never catering to my expectations. For me it's almost always a dealbreaker if I know who the bottom gonna be from the first moment. In this one, I couldn't tell right away and I was hoping for a non-alpha/omega couple. I was upset I wasted my time and left a comment reflecting my disappointment. For me it's still not worth it due to the dynamics of the main couple but that's just a personal preference.
So first of all I didn't get past chapter 6. This story has such a basic boring plot. MC hiding he is an omega, gosh what a surprise I have never seen this before! (sarcasm)
I don't understand why most omega characters have to be these meek shy scared things who think they have to hide their sec gender and their whole personality is being an omega. I genuinely hoped the other guy was the omega so it's a little different from the default ABO verse...
ps.: I got really fed up and had to leave this comment this time, it's very out of character for me so... Please be nice if you disagree!
