Bottom A, Top O

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Innocent looking but is actually a scheming lawyer Omega (gong) x Gentle and honest police officer Alpha (shou)

Nie Zihang and Yu Jingxuan’s first encounter took place in the police station late at night. Because his omega lover had cheated on him with an alpha, he had tossed a sphere of concentrated pheromone extract into a packed hot pot restaurant. He had to tell his lover that all alphas were wild animals that couldn’t tell friend from foe when they sense pheromones.

The story concluded with him being questioned by a police officer who, despite his gentle voice and dainty features, turned out to be an alpha as well.

“Mr. Nie, as a lawyer, don’t you think it’s bad to deliberately break the law?” The alpha asked him.

Nie Zihang casually tossed a video recording of the incident while smiling. “In accordance with the ABO Protection Act, my actions were lawful as self-defense. Officer Yu, you should not show unprincipled favoritism to wrongdoers simply because he’s an alpha, okay?”

The alpha courteously released him.

He assumed the issue was over until the next day, when a familiar face arrived at the law firm. A casually dressed Yu Jingxuan entered his office and mused, “Mr. Nie has a strong animosity against alphas. Would you mind if I asked you for help suing an ex-boyfriend? I want his reputation to go down.”

Nie Zihang arched his brow. “Oh? More information would be appreciated.”

Only then did he learn that Yu Jingxuan was also engaged in AA relationships. His ex-boyfriend had also cheated on him with an omega.

Since AO is the right path, why don’t we give it a try?

Anyhow, the gender also coincided well.

5 stars!

Very short but very sweet! I like the concept where they are both viewed as gay in their society for liking their own secondary gender and it does come with some thoughts ... more>>
Spoiler

like how society views them and going against their secondary gender biology. And it's not as simple as an O top being together with an A bottom because there's also society's view on such a pairing.

[collapse]
Of course it's not in-depth analysis or angsty but it was a refreshing read.

Their relationship is really fast paced but for the length of the story, it works out.

My fav part is:
Spoiler

when MC realises that ML's friends (post breakup for them respectively with scum ex) all encourages him to meet someone better, yet his own friends encourage him to give up and just go with one-night stands or something. And he questions if there was something wrong with his own friends xD

[collapse]

Also extra kudos to the fact that there was no forcing on anyone due to pheromones because that is a trope that I do not like.

Overall a good read in the atypical dynamics genre! <<less

Cute story with a happy ending. An easy and quick read. MC, Nie Zihang, and ML, Yu Jingxuan, are both likable characters. The introduction has most of the plot, although it isn't completely right.

The first part of the novel was super cute with the relationship in the discovery and interest phase. I didn't like it as much once they got together because ML's strong and capable alpha police officer character becomes meeker and weaker. Comparing the beginning and ending story ML, they are too different. This trend of weakening the shou's character once a relationship is established is annoying. It happens too often, so acknowledging it's there and trying to appreciate the novel's other good points is all I can do. 😑
Spoiler

MC's omega actually cheated with ML's alpha.

Very cute! Role reversal with Omega top/Alpha bottom.

I only have a few small issues with the text which is...

... more>>
Spoiler

why is it that there's role-reversal, but the main couple is still so stereotypical?

for example, the "top" is taller (even though he's an omega, he's taller than the alpha).

for exmple, the "top" spoils the bottom. the "top" makes more financially. the "top" takes the initiative.

the "top" is more aggressive and protective.

the "bottom" is gentle, effeminate, and worries about being too assertive. meh

[collapse]

Literally we have the exact same gendered stereotypes, without any modification from the tropes, minus that the ABO titles are switched.

Baby steps I guess. 🫠

Finally, translation started out fine, but started reading like it went through ChatGPT formalization. It had nothing to do with the "tone" (formal or not) of the text itself, but rather, the redundancies in the writing that come from throwing something through ChatGPT.

Spoiler

Eg. "I have taken it upon myself to assist him in responding to the incoming call..." so damn wordy?

Can easily be: "I am responding to the call on his behalf..." <- just as formal but not as wordy.

Eg. "Hanghang, as the Mid-Autumn Festival draws near, would you be inclined to make a journey back to your place of origin? Your father and I yearn for your presence with great intensity."

"Hanghang, the Mid-Autumn Festival draws near. Do you have plans to journey back to visit your old home? Your father and I yearn for your presence." <- Again, formal but less wordy.

Yearn already conveys "intensity, " there is no need to both use descriptive adjectives AND further emphasis.

Take the sentence: "Your father and I miss you intensely." <- an adverb is acceptable here because "miss" is a commonly used word. "Your father and I yearn for you intensely." <- here, you can see, just by a simple substitution, the intensely immediately becomes redundant to the usage of an uncommon verb.

Typical writing would not include both, but ChatGPT loves it. Mindlessly substituting verbs and replacing every single word through thesaurus doesn't make good writing.

The most elusive ABO pair of them all, a OA couple!! Our A ML is just too cute really how could MC not fall in love?! They have a little misunderstanding midway through but it's not drawn out and MC is good at drawing ML out of his shell. Just a wholesome and sweet relationship between an unlikely but also perfectly matched couple.

Definitely one of my favorite ABO stories, always love a trope subversion! Bonus points for the seme protagonist POV, and having MC fall first is a personal favorite... more>> just because I love a good pursuit.

Really happy the TL has been completed! I will say though, some of the dialogue is pretty pretentious sounding which makes me wonder if they actually talk that way or if it's the translator's choice to make them sound like they're in Victorian times lol <<less

I was excited to read a role reversal story of a Top O and Bottom A but...

The Top O is still stereotypically Top.

The Bottom A is also stereotypically Bottom. And in the end...

... more>>
Spoiler

The A even got pregnant.

Pure AA and OO relationships are considered not widely socially accepted in this world, like homosexuality. I think one of the reasons why homos*xual relationships are frowned upon is because of their inability to procreate.

But in this world, Alphas can still get pregnant. So realistically, an AA relationship shouldn't be so controversial, right? Like imagine in the real world, men can get pregnant. Gay relationships should be more socially acceptable, right? And if Omegas can get Alphas pregnant, then they should also have the ability to imp**gnate other Omegas, right? So OO relationships should also be more socially acceptable, right?

Sorry, I just got thrown off at the end when A got pregnant.

[collapse]

The story itself is very cute though. <<less

If I were to explain this novel in one word, it would be; Fluffy.

In two words; Extremely fluffy!

This short novel is surprisingly really, really good! Kudos to the translators! ☆ The MC and ML are an interesting and rare OA pairing. The ML is a super cute, lovable and adorable little fish shou~ (Don't misunderstand, theres no animal characteristic or demons tag here. Its a nickname~) While the MC is a super gentle, teasing but affectionate gong. What's interesting about their situation is that MC's wife (Shu-somethingathingwhitelotus) abducted ML's husband and vice versa where ML's husband (He-somethinathingscumbag) abducted MC's wife.

(Well I suppose you can consider them ex husband and ex wife.)

The two pair of exes are scumbags, no wonder they're together. The saying 'birds of a feather, flock together' deems true in the case of their actions. MC's ex, though we would only seem him and never again in like two? Three chapters? He's a certified white lotus, daring to act pitiful and even attempt to seduce our beloved ML!

While ML's ex is equally a scumbag, using ML for his own satisfaction and I don't know, sadistic kink? It's mentioned that he uses his pheromones to suppress ML into submission. Absolutely despicable.

Anyway, before I spoil you any further, basically ML and MC are in separate AA and OO relationships. Where their exes got together and as you can see in the summary, ML and MC plan to sue ML's ex due to more spoilery reasons.

They're initially just strangers who met one day due to MC's pettiness over his boyfriend, wait no- ex, cheating on him with an alpha. They began to meet more and more often due to coincidences and ML's case. Although their s*xual orientation is directed to their own secondary genders, they eventually fall in love with each other, regardless of the other person's gender.

MC even stated it himself!

Spoiler

MC: Even if he's (ML) an omega, a beta, or an alpha, I love him (ML) regardless.

-Thats not what he exactly said but my memory isnt perfect, you can read the novel to see what he actually said. Also FYI, and to provide further context, hes talking to a younger omega who confessed to him and asked about the ML.

ML was listening in on that time and instead of only rejecting the omega and shoo him away, he added that he loved the ML a lot. Because MC is a gentle (albeit a bit teasing) gong who wants to instill a sense security for our beloved ML.

One more thing-

When I saw the Mpreg tag I was a bit confused on how they did it since MC is clearly the 1 and ML is the 0, I thought it'd be a reversible couple but that won't explain why theres 'seme protagonist' instead of 'reversible couple' tag.

Well, apparently, ML is a rare alpha that is able to conceive children. And I think he got pregnant shortly after the main story ended where MC marked the ML (It's possible to mark alphas in this world but alphas would genetically and typically resist it. Which is why ML handcuffed himself. Yes. Himself. Not MC. MC would never do that to our baby fish.) and 'papapa' (although its a fade out and we don't get any snusnu details). So it slowly made sense.

The little dumpling is super cute too. Although we only got like, one chapter of the little dumpling, and a brief description of his appearance. Hes so cute. Hes an omega by the way. He has daddy Nie's and dada Yu's good looks.

If only theres just a few more chapters of the little dumpling. I really wanna know how Dad Nie and Father Nie would react! As well as MC and MLs friends! It would be hilarious~ maybe they'll even assume that it was MC who give birth and theres a small misunderstanding about it.

Which would be cleared up or end with the MC and ML figuring out what they misunderstood and be speechless. Or the misunderstanding will ensue. Whichever three happens, it would be a good laugh.

[collapse]

Anywho~ I highly recommend this good novel. Its not too long and very sweet (It won't take a lot of your time to read). There's a short mishap in the middle but it's quickly cleared up because it's a short novel. Please don't be afraid~ theres nothing sad or bitter about this novel. It's very, very fluffy and wholesome. Full of sweets~ Full of dog food~

Shou is so sweet and soft and Seme is quite the gentlemen. Though it was short but it was worth it. 🥰 Though I could not find the extra chapters 🥲 to MTL it so I will wait till it's translated.

Lots of ❤❤ love.

First half was pretty cute, up till the relationship confirmation then it lost flavour for me.

Personally prefer two strong leads, not sure why the ML alpha suddenly became so soft and sticky after the confirmation without any of the previous strength and reliability that it was a turn off for me. It was cute at first, but it got too much.

It relies heavily on the ABO stereotype of AO but beyond that setting, it really is just a 1 looking for 0 and vice versa without much emotional or character... more>> development impact.

Was hoping for like a reversible couple not really a

Fluffy and super cute read! I really enjoyed reading this! Plus I live for role reversals!!

Depending on how you see it, the characterizations might be a hit or miss though if you're not a fan of stereotypes. On one hand, both our MCs are kinda like your stereotypical top and bottom, but on the other, because of that, they're the furthest thing from your stereotypes of alphas and omegas that we usually see in fiction too (which really appealed to me lol). So it all really depends on how you... more>> view it at the end of the day <<less

If you want fluff, it has all the fluff.

There's a definite plot; sometimes it seems important and present, but other times, not.

Among other things, it's a story of how we act different just to fit in. How others are stuck in stereotypes and uncomfortable when people stray from those.

But honestly, these are my real thoughts: ... more>>
Spoiler

Acting submissive just to be liked by the aggressive Omega was disappointing, and sometimes just weird. The Alpha was so helpless and hesitant and I hated it. It didn't make sense that the Alpha admitted he thought he needed to act submissive to be liked, but then kept doing it even after the Omega assured him he didn't need to. Their relationship reminded me of a BD*M pair - extreme submission and dominance.

[collapse]

And, finally, the translation was excellent. <<less

Thank You for the translation~

8/10 for me this would have been in 10/10 if it just had smut and I know I sound h**ny but this story was practically made for it but then it went PG and I was incredibly sad, with pairings like these it's so rare to see and I feel like there would be a lot of s*xual intimacy and dynamics that are interesting and are more appealing than the supposed abusive alpha and soft omega shou.

But otherwise, the story was Great, consent showing that it... more>> is possible to restrain yourself when there's beastly instincts and pheromones involved not a lot of angst, and a healthy relationship I wish it was longer I recommend it. <<less

Novel that tries really hard to subvert omegaverse norms and instead doubles down on gong and shou stereotypes.

While there are some good moments, the reason why both OO MC and AA ML are cheated on is because their ex boyfriends wanted to date an alpha/omega. Why? Pheromone preference. So it's not who is on top and bottom, but rather their biological preference. And despite trying to subvert that, the MC and ML are still omega and alpha, it's just their s*xual preference matched. So what does it even matter?

But that's... more>> not all. The 'shou' Alpha ML acts like the most stereotypical shou to the point it feels like a parody of itself. He whimpers, he whines, he clings, gets drunk way too much for such a short story so he 'acts' coquettish even more. Blushing and shy and stammering. And this all is 'unmanly' for the Alpha stereotype of course but it is playing into every single 'shou' stereotype that exists.

so really what did this novel subvert other then just the title where an Omega topped an Alpha and that's supposed to be groundbreaking, instead of characters that feel like people and don't want to be defined by omega=bottom and alpha= top label but don't act like stereotypes of it either. Even the ending becomes ridiculous the more you think about it. <<less

MORE TOP OMEGA STORIES !!

Read it exactly for what it said it was & it delivered. No magically switching genders midway, no abrupt role switches, main CP stayed true to their preferences & made things work. MC is an omega who tops while ML is an alpha who enjoys being the bottom. When both run into the same issue of being cheated on by their exes... why not get together instead?

Short, straight to the point, little misunderstandings, much fluff. Story went into typical social dynamics in ABO & I liked... more>> how the main CP isn’t your conventional pair. It adds layers & I liked how there were also other characters who had similar preferences so it didn’t seem that MC & ML were too isolated. It just made it feel more realistic. <<less
