Self-loathing alpha marries a vagrant omega out of guilt for first meeting him mid-heat. The marriage is healthy with both partners putting each other first, even though that leads to some difficulty when the omega believes that the alpha will be better off without him. Good story, good pacing, likable couple, emotional - its only flaw is that it wasn’t longer.

Inversion of normal omegaverse where omegas are in charge and alphas are looked down upon. Healthy relationship develops between a chaebol omega and a common but good-hearted alpha. They end up happily married with 1 baby and another on the way. Their chemistry doesn’t make a ton of sense at first but they are rock solid. The main characters and their families are very likable. My only wish would be for their big wedding ceremony to be shown in the epilogue and maybe see more of their happy family life over the years.

Downtrodden young omega is taken in by a kindly alpha who has one-sidedly imprinted on him. Healthy relationship + the way the imprinting is handled is fairly unique. Very sweet and uplifting. Artist changes after season 1.

Popular, gregarious omega seduces a shy alpha and they engage in an undeclared relationship. Hilarious, interesting, likable characters. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Famous athlete tracks down his high school sunbae and uses business to re-involve them. Relationship turns sexual despite the sunbae’s clear lack of romantic interest, with the future outcome unclear and the present is somewhat tragic. The sunbae is unshakably heterosexual, divorced, stubborn, disinterested, gets panic attacks for which he is medicated and he is close with his longtime friend who is also secretly sexually interested in him. The sunbae goes along with things (though with significant resistance when it comes to the hoobae) and is often oblivious - all likely due to low self-worth from past trauma that just compounds with life’s misfortunes. The hoobae is kinda meh. It isn’t totally clear who will be seme/uke and switch is possible. There’s a reason it took me so long to sum it up - this story has more complexity and plot than most do, with better art, more unique settings and less smut. Can’t wait to see where it goes, because it’s not as predictable as most.

HOLY CRAP! Smiled nonstop, lol’d, just endless joy while reading this. Zhiyu and Yan’s relationship is so iconic. 0% compatible and violently at odds by reputation, but 100% compatible all along and a healthy romantic relationship starts about halfway through. Happy omegaverse. The word “tangerine” gets a bit repetitive and I wish it showed their wedding but those are my only “complaints”. An easy all-time favorite.

Great characters, well-paced, a balance of fluff and comedy with an overarching atmosphere of harmony. Azuma is my favorite character - cynical, stubborn, analytical, but also loyal, earnest and alluring. Wish they’d done an epilogue or at least shown a kiss, but at least they’re happily together and doing well.
