I don’t have a different insight, I just wanted to reply to say that I completely agree! It’s so annoying when a story contradicts itself like that and I’m so relieved he’s not pregnant either. I feel like that’d just be a slap in the face, not even considering his trauma as well but the fact it was established early on that ML had a vasectomy and the MC is always taking precautions.
If they do have a kid however, I hope they continue to talk about it a lot more and plan with MC’s dad too as I’m sure he has a lot of valuable advice and will be an amazing grandpa
I get that, and I was glad he wasn't pregnant too. But also I can see how it was necessary to push the uke's character development and show how he is not like the person who gave birth to him, and how he is in a stable relationship. I think it really shows how deep and caring the relationship is and how they can overcome obstacles, and in the end they decide that IF they have kids that it'll be okay because it's with each other. And none of it is forced, it's their own decision. The uke isn't forcing himself into accepting having a kid just because he's an omega.
So I think that just because the story opened up the possibility for them to have children doesn't mean that it is the same as all of the other omegaverse pregnancy tropes. I actually think that this is a very nuanced and healthy approach to it.
This is all just my opinion tho!
Thanks! That's a really good insight and make me think
I'm glad he is not pregnant.
I need to get this off my chest. English is not my first language, so I will try to covey this the best I can.
I've been reading some romance novels lately, and many of them try to be different or offer a unique twist on typical tropes. But in the end, they often just fall into the same patterns.
For example, I read one where the SUB was the Top and the DOM was the bottom. But by the end, they just revert their second gender to doing exactly what we see in typical stories. In this one we have an Alpha with a vasectomy, and it was reversed so the Omega could get pregnant—again, it was supposed to be different, but it ended up being just like the rest. It can be really disappointing when stories don't live up to their promises.
Well, I know I'm just ranting. If you have a different insight, I really appreciate hear it. Am I not see something?
