YES I AGREE!! tired of the dead wife / divorced wife trope. Its one thing if shes a beard fully, its another when shes just used as a tool to show a "toxic" ex
We can't really judge someone for not wanting to be what they are born to be. I mean he probably just want to be normal. If he's was beta he'll probably still be with his ex-wife. His ex-wife probably left him since he's a omega who is infertile. Probably the reason why he hid the omega things. I really don't mind the story telling in this one since it make kind of sense. Just my opinion tho( ◜‿◝ )♡
"want to be normal" you're saying it like being an omega isn't smth normal. Listen, it's fine if he himself doesn't like being an omega and goes get a girl as his partner and all, I don't mind. But here he denies himself, denies being an omega/bottom role just for what? His future partner is an alpha and his future role is a bottom. Out of no where his ex wife made a "toxic" debut with blaming on him for being an omega just to show readers how bad he was hurt and how much he loved her just for what? He did not respect her by hiding his trait in the first place.
In some settings male omega cannot make women pregnant and I've known for many that korean authors don't usually draw a clear line in their work. But they still go on and let their characters screw with female characters and finally end up with one male only and that is where i feel uncomfortable bc. They do all that just to show how attractive their characters were on a scale built on female just to have a final male character be on top. Ridiculous.
Yeah I got my hope up cause I thought it'd be he got divorced with another alpha or whoever it was just because they fell out of love not bc of ts
FINALLY SOMEBODY WAKES UP THE MISOGYNY OMG I LOVE YOU
No, the reason he hid his secondary gender was because their society is like secondary gender patriarchy.
So they allow alphas to do anything and everything, glaze each other, enable each other, bla bla, but an omega can’t.
He wants the equal opportunity to do what an alpha can do, so he pretends to be one.
I thought it was pretty well established tbh
Wait hold up, what stories have the uke, or seme I guess, be divorced from a woman? Or more specifically thrown away by a woman and saved by a man? Cause Ive only seen like 3 of them, and its usually a seme to justify them having a child. I really havent seen it often enough to call it a trope.
If it's your fictional taste, help yourself i don't mind. Hope these help:
- Oya No Kao Ga Mite Mitai (divorced seme)
- Seven Sundays (divorced and closeted gay uke)
- Kimi To Asa Gohan! (Divorced or d34d wife seme)
- Motoyan Papa to Hitsuji-sensei (divorced seme)
- Innai Kansen (adultery while the uke has a wife and kid)
- Nobara (don't really rmb the plot)
- Devouring the Goose Dad Next Door (same as innai kansen)
- When The Yakuza Falls Inlove (đ34 wife seme)
- Kazoku Gokko (divorced or d34d wife seme)
- Harumeku Katabutsu (d34d wife uke)
- Baby Risk (one of them got divorced or sth i don't rmb but then he and the other guy renunited)
- Papa datte, shitai (divorced or d34d wife i don't rmb)
These are only the ones I do remember the name one way or another. There are a lot more that I don't remember
Oh yeah i forgot the infamous "Our Sunny Days"
I agree with the misogyny part 100% but I do also believe that plenty of people are bi so there are plenty of dudes who have ex gfs/wives and end up with a man at some point because they like both (even if it’s usually women over men) however I do hate stories where them dating men is at the expense of a woman. I feel like him getting divorced by his wife isn’t as bad as some stories I’ve read so him moving to a man isn’t the worst thing since she initiated
I have mentioned my mindset but maybe it wasn't enough. I'm fine if they're undiscovered gays, I'm fine with them being bi. I have my own standards and if I don't like the story based on my standards, I'll leave quietly. However, what I'm saying here is that I'm tired of the setting in which the characters are unknown of their gayness or whatever it is and end up with their male partner like some ultimate decision. Yes, it is the at the expense of women like you said because they would say things like "I've never felt this with my exes gfs/Did I love her this way/Is this how love is supposed to be etc." or in some cases, the women would be the antagonist like how this story is portraying to levitate the guilt of a male character as well as a pain for his male partner to "fix". Those are what I see as misogyny.
It could have been just fine if the omega and his wife got divorced bc they can't have a child, not bc he lied to her then made her be the villainess for getting mad at him.
You’re super valid in your points no doubt, a lot of these tropes suck really bad
Tbf, it’s not necessarily putting her in a bad light, you can kinda acknowledge that they’re both a little strange in both of their parts.
He shouldn’t have lied about his secondary gender, so his now ex was definitely well within her place to break up for that reason, however as mature adults, she didn’t have to be so hateful towards him.
Being an omega is most likely not any better than being a woman in this scenario so you’d want a more understanding response, but she was just straight up pissy.
And not to frame her that was as a character, but because that’s how she handled.
The way she's portrayed in that situation plus the omega's background are what I think funny. Even with her being mean like that is just like adding oil to his misery, another reason for the alpha to "fix" him. She had a famous boyfriend who proposed to her on the field in public, isn't it normal to be proud? And the price of pride isn't cheap. Is she smart enough to take the whole situation in? The answer doesn't lie on her, it lies on whether the author wants her to be a female or a character. And although I stopped following the storyline, I don't wish for her reappearance because it could be worse if she's the first one. If, by any chance, she's better written, I'll reconsider reading.
100% agree with this tbh
Oh yeah another one with the yes I've been with others but I've only been on top so you're my first blablabla really turned me off. And what's with him hiding his second gender to his ex wife and denies himself being an omega. Thats lowk misogyny. Why do so many authors think it's fine to have their characters screwed with girls then boom magically get an endingwith a male? And a happy ending at that . Not to mention some even have girls being the mean ones and have the ML protect the MC like !? Can't we get a different character development??
