Actually I do think that this is CHEATING, atleast from the beta's perspective, think about it, if we can see the omega's suffering, we shouldn't ignore how painful the beta's heart must be after going through that TWICE. But since there's a supernatural cause involved, we should be open to think further. Now he main reason I think this uke is still much better than many other cheating ones out there is because as you said, he really made an effort, he was given a choice to go for a poly relationship( he wouldn't have to leave the beta and could cut his "losses" and be more selfish) but he didn't do it. I had a doubt, what if he was only doing it to alleviate his guilt when he actually really wanted the Alpha but it was proven otherwise when he made it clear that it was only instinct, once his instinct is gone, his real feelings do not lie with the alpha, which is why he went for the surgery eagerly and proved this right. Now the cheating that he did before cannot be forgotten ,but his actions have made it clear that he willingly chose to make up to the beta for the rest of his life and fight for his relationship even when the beta said he was ready to compromise. So, he's not someone who never made an offence(cheating is more than a mistake imo so) but he also made TRUE CONCRETE efforts to be better and he'll have to keep that up.
You have a really good point and I agree to most of it. I did not put how the beta was feeling coz other comments have given emphasis to his feeling already but yeah He also suffered from the thing that the omega did. I'm just happy that they both find happiness and peace.
Really, not saying this is that good but there're much worse stories out there. Especially Erito Ω Wa Yoru ni Oborete. I really hate it, the suffering of the beta in that story is probably 10x more than this. It's just that they're not officially dating there but it's so much more disgusting watching him beg and walked all over again and again and AGAIN. The omega there keeps dancing between "feelings" and "instinct", he's the ultimate emo king lol. He says he's going to live alone and fight destiny but he's never been able to really, not saying he has an obligation to but then dude atleast stop saying you love the beta and you're doing all that with the alpha for the beta. Really, he should admit that he's only doing all that coz he can't resist and his love is weaker than instinct or it's just not important enough in itself for this omega. The beta seems so pitiful there, really. It's not cheating much still so much worse than that somehow haha. Until the last chapter it doesn't get any better and that thing has like 20 chapters. Seriously?? It's just torture and the "good" ending does nothing at all. So yeah, imagine this having a lower rating. Ig that's mainly because of cheating but idk when comparing, this trash is still recyclable but that ohhhhhh
I've read that too HAHHAHA. The amount of tears I shed for the beta . I just continued reading that coz of the beta and the illustrqtion
Loool. I just wished someone would take the beta away istg. I want to erase that story from my memory. Now I think you n I know very well why we think this story has a silver lining and is still salvageable haha. Poor beta, he shouldn't have ended up with that emo king omega(the omega is so invested in helping 'his' alpha n his mother that he doesn't even have the time of the day for the beta so wouldn't you agree that he should've just stayed with him afterall hoh), THE BETA DESERVES BETTER. See, now no-one can accuse us of being people who always favour the uke/omega. We favour the poor beta there .
Goodness, I certainly can never ignore the suffering in love, begging and wronged love interests.
Anyways, that trash makes this one look like a 'love triumphs all' epic !! Haha.
A lot of people are saying cheating this and cheating that without understanding the world they live in. We can't really uphold exactly the same standards to them because there are factors thqt we don't have irl. In the 2 cases that the uke slept with another guy, he did not consent at all. So what do you call s*x without consent? So basically, he never cheated. The omega is under soo much pain and stress that his beta partner will never understand even in a lifetime. We should give the omega some slack. He fought for the relationship(somehow) because he only wants to be with the beta. Not to mention, the surgery he did.
