Yo wtf. Did she just imply he had feelings for his sister??? what the fuck is wrong with her.
Also either the writer isn't clear or the translation is messy, but they aren't clear on the fucking verbal tensed and it's fucking up m'y understanding!!!
Is the guys fucking married or not????!
She days he considers her his top priority until he marries. Then that whole translation is a hot mess because they forget negatives like not and don't even show clearly who tf she's talking about. You have to infer it's about the supposed wife but then why is she blushing like a chipmunk and calling her a cutie while not showing they have a relation.
Like. ??? They can't have married cause shen by her own logic she wouldn't be his first priority but she said she knew he was going to go??? So wtf does that mean.
BUT THEN SHE ASKS WHY DIDNT THE DOCTOR GO TO A WEDDING(????) HUHHHHHHHH???
excuse you? Look ik I'm being bitchy but if you're not going to translate well just don't do it. This chapter was a mess.
i feel like the translations fine? unless you’re talking about a different chapter that isn’t up anymore or something cos you can understand it pretty well? she said that Harrison USED to have her as his top priority until he married the Doctors sister, and then after that Harrison had his wife as his highest priority. She asks why didn’t the doctor go to the wedding because she assumed as he’s family of the bride he would attend — but he explains he didn’t because they don’t have a particularly good relationship because of the family drama. I don’t exactly know what you mean by her implying he had feelings for his sister, not sure where you’ve picked that up. I think you might’ve just had a misunderstanding around the story in general that caused you to be confused because this translation seems perfectly clear to me.
oh wait no i reread and see what you mean about implying he had feelings about his sister ew i didn’t even notice that i thought she was just excited at the idea of a big family drama going on. Also i see where you mean about the missing not that causes some confusion,. Besides that i still think the translations pretty good. I mean in comparison to other scanlation like teenmanhua this might as well be shakespeare, at least you can follow along easy enough.
About the marriage thing, I was mostly confused because if she *used* to be his biggest priority before his wife, then why is he going to come get her *now* when he has one? Shouldn't he go and be with his wife instead?
That plus other little things in the chapter set me off. I'm sure the translators tried their best and everything but I keep having to drop stories because of translation. It's like half the fl romantasy manhwas are MTL..... Ironically enough, the genre with best translators is fucking toxic yaoi but I do not want to be reduced to that.
It's because the sister is dead (I read it again cuz I got confused who Knox was, turns out it's just Rudfisher)
With regards to Cherry's reaction to as to why he didn't go to his "sister"'s wedding, I don't think it's necessarily incest. Maybe it's big drama in the sense that Rudfisher was opposed to the marriage in some sort of way and she's excited to hear the juicy bits of just why exactly. After all, she has her modern world memories too and even if there ARE incest in the current world, it wouldn't be widely accepted at alll
Oh the thing is, this is a little bit of spoiler but Harrison's wife is actually long dead, i think? Like before the story has even started she was already dead. Ultimately what she meant about being his biggest priority is that he is his sister and all, and well Harrison does love her. They are each other's only family left after all.
Out of curiosity, are there any female omega verse?(Where they aren't Alfas )
Cause I was thinking the whole omega verse genre is dumb asf, because it's literally just about what women go through, and ppl wanting to see men in those positions but then giving them everything a woman does have and goes through except for the flat chest + privates. (Which doesn't even make SENSE because how else are you going to breastfeed+ birth the damn child. You just want women with extra steps)
Like, the sexism, the danger of SA, the social stigma, literally getting pregnant, heats, scents- they're all based ok what real women go through.
So the point of the genre is to see "men" go through that.
That would mean any reason for there to be a female omega verse story pretty meaningless cause literally just put that story irl and it would have the same effect. But idk there are all kinds of stories out there so I'm checking
For a female omegaverse they can still explore their relationship with all these parts and cis women still cant get each other pregnant irl. Also it depends on the creator, like a creator might make it so female alphas dont have a womb to carry a child or something
But the worldbuilding/lore aspect can be off
If it's true that women read omegaverse because they want to see men going through the same things they do then I find that really weird. Personally I find it painful reading about a man going through the crap women go through on a daily basis and worse, especially since most of the time omegas are depicted as innocent and look feminine. I think people just want to read het porn but without the women.
I agree with everything you said ( ̄∇ ̄")
Anyway:
There are, but the ones I found were mostly korean novels without manhwa adaptation and untranslated, so I don't think people are very interested in them (probably for the reasons you listed). The only manhwa I know with an omega female lead is this: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/which_alpha_do_you_want_to_play_with/
There are a few with a female alpha and male omega couple but that doesn't fit with what you're asking because it's still the same concept of 'switching gender situations'. There were some GLs as well, but I haven't read them so I don't remember which and it still involves female alphas so nevermind
as a girl that reads omegaverse, i also would find that kinda weird and i personally just read it for fun - but tbh i kind of still would understand why, since i think it's probably not about wanting to see men going through that pain but rather maybe understanding the social struggles and how it's not made up problems by feminists (since many men think that way) but yeah man idk myself what to think and what not LMAOO but what you said at the end could also be true for some stories where it's not about plot but rather p0rn
This is an interesting take, and tbh it WOULD be interesting to see a switch of gender to portray discrimination and social struggles but barely any omega verse BLs focus on that... those mangas are more so rampant with rape and it kinda uses the secondary genders as a tool for justification / victim blaming (omega's pheromones so the alpha couldn't help himself) so that the author can write noncon in so I just find it ickyyy personally
I don't necessarily see it as women wanting to see men suffer like them, but I can see how omegaverse probably came to be due to a juxtaposition of women's struggles on men, probably because women wanted to read BL but still identify better with the main character.
I personally don't read it for either reason, I don't even particularly care about the mpreg (don't kill me), I just find the dynamics and the concept of bond interesting to read (when it's healthy)
But you don't really need omega verse for that?(Except the pregnancy for everyone part but I have weird feelings about pregnancy in general so imma ignore that for now)
Like, there are other genres with "heats" if what u want is the sudden sex craze. And even then again, I can't speak for men but plenty of women go though not exactly a heat but a period of heightened arousal because of their hormones before their period.
As for the soulmate thing I think some author's add that but it's not obligatory in the genre. You could just as perfectly wrote a soulmate au without adding omega verse.
Ik it's written mostly for the hornyness but like. Idk. It's literally the day to day plights of women but (slightly) exaggerated and on men
Yeah maybe. I think it's a bit of both?
People want to read het porn without women(and I think that's the cause of a blend of fetishism and sexism) but also I do think it's a way for some to buffer out the empathy in a way?
Like, as girls, we've basically all goes through some form of SA or harassment before. At school, work, public transport, whatever. So maybe reading about women in those situations makes it more realistic and therefore painful? If it's a man since it statistically doesn't happen often they can treat it as just a story.
Just my two cents
Lmaoooo
See I'd understand it if everyone read omega verse but let's face it, almost everyone who reads it are girls.
There's no need to deconstruct it when we as girls already know what it's like to live in a patriarchal society.
Sure wish we could force men to read it from tike to time tho. Might just give them the littlest bit of empathy lol
I've also heard of a theory that one of the reasons why BL is so popular among teenage girls is because it allows them to explore their sexuality in a more subtle way, because they would not relate directly to the main character (who usually assumes the submissive "feminine" bottom role) but can still unconsciously use them as a self insert, so their gender is essentially the "buffer"
Exactly. As much as I hate omegaverse I can see the tiniest potential for an opportunity to write a story that explores societal issues and injustice. But the way the genre currently exists I don't see any redeeming quality. It's just a way for authors to write rape scenes and justify them. The number of times I've seen comments like "what did you expect guys he was in a rut he couldn't control his instincts!!" is insane.
hahsh :P
and sure you may, but to be honest i'm not so sure myself loll
i think it's mainly because i developed a reading obsession so i just read whatever story there is no matter how good or bad (unfortunately) lmaoo,
but for omegaverse specifically i really think that i read just for fun - when i first came across omegaverse i was stunned like really really confused and maybe even weirded out, but after reading more and understanding the concept (even though it's kinda...unique?) i started developing an interest, so i think it's just that -
but I sometimes really do have some serious thoughts about it in the back of my head when reading, just like you already stated your opinion in the beginning so yeahh
I hope that this answered your question
Loll im not a fan of the omegaverse so i cant speak for everyone but i agree def. Tho i think its that the omegaverse is an easier tool for them to have *all* of this and have a simple page explaining the lore and thats it, with other universes or realistic stories it might require more
Also i want to add to the sex craze, i think its also ab having the characters be on a primal instict type of thing, a lot of ppl have predator/prey kinks, (primal play)
I know this stuff doesnt apply to everyone tho, some ppl just enjoy the concept of it all
There are stories that explore it.
Majority of abo is straight up porn() but there definetly is.
I just don't see the point of writing about injustices in a made up society made to mirror sexism when....real life sexism is right there?
Far be it for me to dictate what anyone writes but women go through so much, you have so much material that would have an actual impact because a lot of times sexism isn't as cut and dry ABO stories make it. Even the ones that try to explore it write about it like an intro to feminism seminar to stop domestic violence abusers from hitting their girlfriends its
Idk I'm a hater so my opinions are a bit skewed in that regard
Maybe because it makes it too real? even when omegaverse portrays omega men similarly to a woman, it still allows them to maintain a distance from the character and explore their fantasies without directly involving (their) female body because it is still a man, not a woman. Even though western societies are very sexually liberated, I think "sexual desire is a taboo!" and the pressures for a girl to be pure is still surprisingly common. Not that this makes it right in any way but yeah
I'm just imagining. A straight omega verse with the typical plot points they sprinkle in sometimes to disguise how it's just straight up porn, like telling an omega they're only good for having children when women already hear it on the daily .
Like no shit.
I've read plenty of straight (non abo) stories where the female lead already hears that, omega verse quite literally changes nothing
Oh yes thisss, some ppl have done research on it and i agree, i wanna add that a lot of cultures, religions and just the world dont allow women to explore their sexualities, and make them feel shame, excluded and repressed, this was one of the foundations to how yaoi came to be, and why dark romance is so popular among women, its an outlet to explore the most taboo of topics and inner feelings/kinks but in a space you wont be forced to repress it or have men be violent towards you. Im not gonna get into why people develop dark kinks or desires tho thats a really long topic and complicated
I see some potential in maybe a dystopian story. Dystopias usually present real issues but exaggerated to the extreme. Though you're right I'm only grasping at straws here because I genuinely can't think of 1 good thing about the omegaverse genre. No matter how much I try to wrap a my head around why people like it the only conclusions I can come up with are fetishisation and heteronormativity.
Yeah and it does make sense, but it is problematic imo bc even though it isn't perpetuating violence against women, it is doing so with another marginalised group, so gay men are essentially caught in the 'crossfire'. That's why I can't get behind it, because in creating a safe space for women to explore their desires, we've done reinforced stereotypes, misrepresentation and fetishisation
Ur so right, its the biggest issues with the genres, for gay men who already go through hell its a disservice to boil their identity and struggles to a literary porn genre that never tries to really address them as people, the one gray area i see is that many BL/yaoi explore gay men in relationships but theyre not really..men? If that makes sense, sometimes the genre feels like a androgynous caricature to project onto rather than a real depiction at all, but thats not always the case, plus theres plenty of homophobic/fetishizing readers so obviously it has major problems
In my opinion its especially bad when they try to excuse said problematic things in fiction "its not rape if..." "its not fetishizing if..." "its not abuse..." bc that is normalizing the behavior and how can they recognize that behavior irl if they genuinely believe its not bad?
Imnnot gonna read it I just wanted to see why the cover looked so goofy lmso
