Why are the Protagonist Gong and Shou Fighting Because of Me? Chapter 47 Discussion

"Grandpa, Mom, if I was r*ped by Qin Jun, would you give me a slap?"

- Tang Bai

Wow, such a wonderful read. The novel actually portrays the true status quo of men and women in current society, men chauvinist attitude, patriarchy which I don't think is mentioned in any of the AO novels I have read thus far. In most of the novels, this topic is usually foreshadowed or mentioned in passing but really " What about the woman who has been r*ped?

Society will say, Wasn't it her fault for luring that man? Why did she have to go at night? Wasn't it because she led them on? It was because she dresses so scantily, so, she got what she deserved."

They, won't care about the fragile mentality of that woman. They, won't first point fingers at the perpetrator but rather the victim. It's a sad truth that despite the feminist movements such crimes still run in practice, be it in a well-privileged or impoverished society. The only difference probably being in the fact that the luckier ones are able to get justice whereas the less luckier ones are unable to do so. I wasn't expecting such a sensitive topic to actually be covered in such-depth because that's really not the usual norm in an ABO. Hats-off to the author to actually shed light on this topic and not brush it off as compared to its counter-parts.

Now, unto the character analysis. Usually an ABO takes two routes if you rule out the beta gender; either the MC being weak and squemish or being strong to the point of being considered as OP. The ML is usually portrayed as the guy with stone-faced who is responsible for sheltering the MC. But this was new for me. MC isn't weak, on the other hand, he is pretty strong. His life is equivalent to a caged bird, being pampered and preached to only be true and loyal to their respective alphas, support their alphas and give birth to their kids. But he does open up. 'He' is a coward and is afraid of society's accusations to the point of not telling his family regarding his dreams and ambitions and works hard for it in secrecy. Actually the only role of the "OG protagonist being Omega" is probably to give the MC the push necessary for him to open up and be able to do what he likes to do freely. On the other hand ML isn't at least a male chauvinist nor he is the typical stone-faced alpha. He has character, portrays various emotions and is supportive of MC. The comical misunderstanding amongst the trio (MC, ML and MC's ex-fiance) helped to lighten the effect of these heavy plots. Also MC's family is very supportive.

I'll post after reading the entire thing.
