a novel with a physically strong omega is This Omega is Sweet and Wild... you can read it on Chrysanthemum Garden.. i really like this novel. sorry if you didnt want recommendations. or you already read this. thank yoy.
Thanks for the recommendation :) I did not read this yet.
I read "This Omega is Fierce and Wild" which I liked very much (Has mentally strong omega). Also "Undead" (has zombies and gore) which has physically strong omega.
I read this novel after Pay Attention To Me. Was fascinated with the physically strong omega character. But there are a few things I did not like about this novel.
Firstly Shaoyan (omega) is looking for an alpha with strong pheromones even if that person is a jerk (Zou Rui). He actually likes Wang Zhe (alpha) but still does not act on it initially because of his weak pheromones. This at least is understandable since in this universe, an omega would die if they do not get proper pheromones during their first heat. Even with this life threatening condition he still chooses Wang Zhe pretty quickly.
Now to the point which greatly disappointed me. This part in the novel
"Jiang ShaoYan fundamentally was not as strong as everyone thought.
Even though he had a buffer physique and stronger fighting ability than the average omega, could he win against two alphas at once? In the end, he was still an omega."
This is from the POV of Wang Zhe.
Throughout both novels we are shown that Shaoyan is both physically and mentally strong. He can and actually does defend himself from alphas. This particular scenario happens when Shaoyan goes out and for some reason his suppressants stop working. He is attacked by 3 alphas lead by Zou Rui (the jerk). Wang Zhe after not seeing for a while, becomes worried and starts looking for him while thinking this. And guess what Shaoyan actually does defend himself successfully here, though he gets injured in the process. Wang Zhe then confronts Shaoyan after finding him and tells him to delay things if such scenario ever happens again and that he would definitely come protect him.
Yeah.. yeah.. some might find this very romantic, but this is impractical. So what.. does he expect to always follow Shaoyan everywhere he goes? Or does he expect Shaoyan to not go out of his house anymore to stay safe? Or does he plan to put a tracker on him like a creep? I understand in scenarios where there is a choice it's better to accept help and fight together, but what about when there is no other choice like in this case? Should he have submitted to Zou Rui and be r@ped. Like what... Defending one self is wrong now..
And cherry on top, even before knowing that Shaoyan's suppressants were not working and was injured he has these thoughts about him being weak. I am not saying him worrying about Shaoyan when is in heat is wrong. Everyone has weakness at some point in life. What I am pissed of about is him degrading Shaoyan as being weak and just an omega when he himself has seen his strength many times. Where is the confidence and trust?
You might want to protect your loved ones. Even if they are strong. You don't want them to be harmed. Nothing wrong with that. But don't talk about them in such demeaning manner. Don't undermine their strength just to satisfy your protective instincts.
This especially got me since Wang Zhe is shown to be a very devoted alpha in Pay Attention To me. And the comments in that manhua/novel suggested that there is no better alpha than him. But reading this part, I can't bring myself to respect him and think of him as the best alpha there is.
