Omegaverse (part III)
What is Omegaverse? It is usually a subgenre of BL - I say usually because it happens to be also some straight or GL stories of this type. I'll list some tropes you can usually find in these stories, but keep in mind that it is not always like that, authors like to vary as they should, so you might find some works with total opposite stuff.
In this universe people have also a secondary genre, so they can be divided in three categories: alpha, beta, and omega. Betas pretty much share the characteristics of "normal" people, instead alpha and omega have some really unique traits.
Alphas are usually depicted as the elite people, strong, charismatic, rich, at the top of society, desidered by everyone; Omegas are present in a very small percentage of the population, they are often depicted as weak, fragile, exploited by many, and both female and male omegas can conceive, while both male and female alphas can impregnate omegas; they are affected by pheromones, about this there are so many theories that I'll just skip. Omegas have periods of heat, during which they release strong pheromones in order to attract alphas, it's a very delicate state where they can be vulnerable and lose reason to instinct. Alphas as well can enter a period of rut, they become more aggressive and lose control towards an omega. Moreover, an alpha and an omega can share a very special bond, they can be bound for life by becoming mates with the alpha biting the neck of the omega, this way the omega will be affected only by his alpha's pheromones.
"It's as if I'm a slave..." "As the lowest ranking member of the royal family and as an omega, my life has been decided from the moment I was born..." Iliya is an omega with the lowest rank in the royal family. He's been set for a political marriage and now has to leave for a faraway country to marry its king?! (Source: MangaDex)
Yokosuka is a high school boy who gets the result of alpha in his secondary gender test. This is a big surprise since his parents are beta, so he is forced to attend the dating party for the marriage interview proposed by the city council. There, he meets many cute omega girls, but will he be able to find a nice girlfriend...?! Motivated by this, Yokosuka decides to undergo the compatibility diagnosis, and the kind of partner who was on the other side of the door with whom he obtained a maximum percentage of 92% was someone rather gruff with a look of unfriendliness that turned out to be... A MAN??!! (Source: Tokyo Mangasha, translated)
Cheong-ho is a national swim team member who has been struggling with poor records. As an alpha, his physical condition could be improved greatly through sex with an omega, but he has a fear of omega pheromones. His hopes of being a top swimmer seem to be sinking, but that all changes when he meets Yi-rim, an omega whose pheromones don't give off any scent. Yi-rim is only too happy to help Cheong-ho out, and thus the two of them start a purely physical relationship. It's almost like they're a match made in heaven. But...why is it so hard for them to close the distance between each other? (Source: Lezhin Entertainment)
"This cute sweet-tooth samurai is forever mine..." Kenzaki Ryuunosuke, also known as Samurai-sensei, is an Ω who often gets mistaken for an α because of his manly looks and strong power. He took over his grandfather's dojo and became a kendo teacher, though recently, weird people have been visiting him for the shopping center development of the area. He protected the dojo, having the tables turned on them as if it were nothing. But one day, their boss, Ootori Masamune, finally comes to the dojo, and...? Erotic omega-verse love between an overly-attached obsessive α and a strong, manly swordsman Ω! (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
