As the title says, I'll try to keep track of all the omegaverse stories I've read so far, might skip some titles I didn't like at all!
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.

rather than fall into generic execution, these BL utilize the typical settings, character traits and sentiments to morph them into stories that embrace visceral emotions of the human heart.

Protective? Yup. Strong? Mhm. Forgiving? Maybe. Unless it has to do with the uke, in which case, it's a definite NO.
These tough guys are usually in control, or maybe even cold. But touch their uke and all Hell is let loose.

If you're looking for more than simple fluff and classic twist and want a story that will stay with you for a long time after you're done reading, these are for you. Not to worry, these aren't dark dramas, they have their own kind of happy ending, but it's not with a carefree light heart.
I've only listed the reads that even though they really got to me, they were still beautiful stories. Each one of these titles gripped my heart and made me feel more than the usual BLs. Whether it be a character or the storyline, my mind kept going back to it, even several other reads afterwards.

This stack contains omegaverse BL manga which are different compared to the average omegaverse story, for example:

- Characters not acting like in the average omegaverse story (alphas not exploiting every situation because "they can", strong omegas etc.)
- Characters going against their instincts
- Characters questioning the omegaverse and its elements
- Characters trying to change their fate
- Story focusing on omegaverse elements in a good way

These manga don't have non-con, mpreg etc. or only minimally when it fits the story.

Little or no red flags, violence, or cruelty.
(Mostly cute works)

BL mangas that imo have beautiful, splendid and captivating art, whether in the official art, cover and chapters.

• Doesn't influence the story
• Any demographic
• Any year

bestest bois of the best - mostly catered towards the semes ❤️
this stack also doubles as my fav BLs that i would recommend <:


note: won't include "romance" or "smut" in the tags because 99% of the list has them

Sadness in various levels, from "a little bit teary eyed" to "absolutely bawling my eyes out". Some happy tears, some heartbreakingly tragic.

Most of the series are completed, from different genres and themes, not in any particular order.
