This. I abhor the concept of mc turning into an eta before ml treats him better - from the get-go, ml’s attitude was wrong towards mc, so if mc turns into an omega, then any changes in ml’s philosophy would just be attributed to that change, which then leaves the same problematic prejudices the ml has intact and his “love” quite questionable. Yeah, that kind of narrative full of holes just ain’t my cup of tea, either.
correction: omega* not eta. Wth is with the autocorrect lol
i 100% agree. The writing is honestly all over the place for me. Some times i think the ML doesn’t want to sleep with the MC because he has trauma from when he was younger but the author honestly isn’t doing well with expanding on that. It’s like they can’t choose between going that route or the homophobic reproductive route you were mentioning. It’s weird and annoying. And this story is only going to get more frustrating because, is the ML feeling true feelings towards the MC or is it because of his new omega traits?? Who knows atp. Like ugh, authors need to retire from this troupe.
Yknow the blockhead homophobic top trope? "I don't wanna be intimate with you because you don't have reproductive capabilities but you also can't sleep with other people of your own volition because your my possession and that would really hurt my fragile ego" typa guy? It's so ass. ML's character is all over the place, does the author even know whatthe heck it is they're writing? And with the MC, I wished he didn't turn into an omega because at that point can we even really tell if the this trash guy loves him for who he is or is it because trash guy can now be in a heteronormative relationship with MC? Boooo *tomato *tomato
