A Boring Tale

Description

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

What’s the point of getting married? Anyway, we’re going to divorce.

Divorcing anyway Omega (Mei Yisi) x absolutely not divorcing Alpha (Gu Shi)

Translator:

Mei Yisi is an unsociable omega who feels that everything and everyone is “uninteresting.” He goes on a blind date as a result of his parents’ pestering. He meets Gu Shi and marries him.

Why is Mei Yisi indifferent about who he marries? Why does he think he will get divorced sooner or later? Will Mei Yisi find this marriage “interesting” enough?

Note: This is essentially a long oneshot with two extras.

Play on words: The story title is “méi yì si de gù shi” with méi yì si meaning boring; uninteresting. The MC’s name is Mei Yisi, and Yisi means “he thinks.” The name adds a layer of irony/playfulness to the story, given that Mei Yisi is nonchalant about marriage and keeps thinking “we’re going to divorce, anyway.”

没意思(mei yi si, boring) and 梅伊思(Mei Yisi, the MC) sound similar. The author has used word play throughout the story.

When you start reading you wonder if this is a story about an unpleasant apathetic omega whose apathy is because they just can't be bothered with other people or if there's another layer and perhaps it's actually about someone who's apathetic because of deep depression that he's hiding behind an emotionless mask. By eighty percent of the way through Chapter 1 I had decided it was probably a story about depression and was likely to get very angsty. Then, at the end of the chapter, we get the plot twist... more>> (I won't spoil it, but it's entirely unexpected at this point, and far less soul wrenching than expected) which completely reframes the story.

Chapter 2 is the protagonist learning that with his "silly" (actually intrinsically very decent and soft-hearted) alpha husband's support, desire and unconditional love, even if his life is ordinary, it can be less boring; it's fluffy and sweet and altogether unexpected after chapter 1. It manages to be a romance without any of the obvious romantic trappings. It takes about 10 minutes to read and is well worth anyone's time. Thoroughly recommended.

(Chapters 3 & 4 are just very short and sweet extras). <<less

Short and sweet story about a indifferent mind reading MC who marries a simple and straightforward man, finally finding peace in the non-contradictory thoughts and words spoken.

Short and cute story. MC seemed like a jerk at first but the reason is revealed later on. ML is a sweetheart. I’m glad they were able to get together.

Spoiler

MC could hear what people were saying in their hearts. This led MC to be jaded about people and relationships. ML was different in that he was an honestly good person.

The story is just so adorable 🥺🥺🥺. It's a short story, but it really touched my heart. It's very cute and I found the MC to be pitiful. Thank goodness he found his happiness in the end.

I won't say anything regarding the story or give spoilers. Reading this story is an experience. A good one. It doesn't take long to read and it's pretty light hearted. Give this a try if you want to smile.

Plot: 4/5

Entertainment Value: 5/5

This is a short, sweet story about a troubled shou and a gong who loves. Him wholeheartedly. The two are perfect for each other. I honestly teared up because of the gong's immediate acceptance of the shou's special ability.

Light hearted short story, it is very straight forward, no angst or heavy drama and a little fluff on the side.

The MC, our omega is indifferent to a lot of things and there is a reason for that, which I am not going to spoil. ML is such a sweetie and a very doting lover.

Overall, it's a nice read but don't expect too much. Probably not gonna read this again but you might want to give this a try! Happy reading!

Nice short read. It’s chill and cute, not sad or have much drama. The story premise is interesting and it didn’t take long to finish reading! Probably won’t reread because it didn’t have huge plot twist or made me cry, but it’s a nice one to kill time and take a break from heavy stories.

Some interesting about the naming in this story:

Meí YìShì de GùShì means Boring Story,

... more>> Mei (No) Yishi (Meaning) is MC name, Gùshi (Story) is ML name.

So the title can also be translated as “Gushi (ML) that belongs to Mei Yishi (MC) ” or basically “My Alpha”!! <<less

Sooooo moe.... So sweet... But it was too short. It's one of the best Omegaverse I have read so far.

On the first chapter, I was actually wondering why MC seemed to apathetic and thought it was a bit iffi thank God I continued on (partly because it was short and partly because I wanted to know the ending).

It's good, I just really wished it was bit longer. Hehe

I seriously considered just dropping this halfway through the first chapter because of how apathetic the MC is. Continued cause what the hell, it's only four chapters.

The last couple of paragraphs in the first chapter really changed my view on the MC and it's all fluff from there

A cute and easy read! Mei Yisi starts off as this super indifferent omega, but there's a reason why for it. Gu Shi, the alpha, is just the sweetest—his straightforward personality balances Mei Yisi's aloofness perfectly. ^O^/

It's all fluff from Chapter 2 onward, with their relationship quietly growing into something really wholesome. No drama, no over-the-top romance—just a cozy, feel-good story that leaves you smiling. The extras are very short but still really adorable!!

There are times I had to pause reading and jump up and down due to their actions,... more>> especially Gu Shi's words XD

Would I reread? Hell yeah! (≧∀≦) ゞ <<less

This is sooooo moe. It's seriously so cute. I love it and I enjoyed it a lot. Simply much needed after reading a long antsy novel. A breath of fresh air. Yisi and GS pair so well with each other. ❤️♥️

Unexpected such a Pleasant Cute Short Novel.

Honest at the first chapter I was worried if I would dislike the MC or/and ML.

I'm glad the story explained the reason why MC act like what he did on the first chapter. And the Growth of the Characteristics and Relationship between them.

It's such a Cute and Precious Lovely novel. I'm ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOOVING IT!!!
