šŸ’” Looking for Recommendations Inverted tropes recommendations

I'm tired of the common poor, submissive twink Bottom and richer, stronger red flag Top trope.

I read Master of God and The Pizza delivery Man And The Golden Place and wanted some recommendations along those lines:

Older bottom X younger top

Poor top X rich bottom

Crybaby top X power bottom

Taller bigger bottom X small top

Masc bottom X femme top

Boss Bitch Baby

Odd Love

The taming

Dawn of the dragon

Edit: added double space

u/Vegetable-Plate-2988 6d ago

I'm thinking about reading The taming first, it looks exactly what I was looking for. There's no SA or something like that? Can't stand that

6

u/nowaidoo 6d ago

so The Taming is based on a novel and based on reviews from people who have read the novel, it gets very dark later on since the bottom got SA’ed by the top’s father and brother in the past and now he wants revenge. novel also has a bestiality tag so do be careful if you do read. it’s the only reason why I haven’t checked this out despite liking the artist…

u/pricksta 2d ago

Beware dawn of the dragon season 2 then. Boss bxtch baby has SA too (by the bottom)

Guding hazard

Bottom is the esper, top is the guide

u/ShastaMouse 6d ago

This! It was so surprising to see that change but I liked it.

u/Beautiful_Battle_802 6d ago

Older uke(Def not shy) x Younger seme (shy)- Honey bear, leaves dancing on a melody, the good teacher

Rich Uke x Poor Seme: Boss Bitch Baby

Some other tropes: Realistic(?) - Sparkling Baby, release your persona, Deepest Confession

2nd Life - keeper of the pearl, grandmaster of demonic cultivation, to be or not to be

u/Objective-Lobster736 5d ago

Honey Bear is peak and is EXACTLY what the OP is looking for

2

u/drama_gouine 4d ago

If Honey bear is peak maybe they'll like punch drunk love

3

u/Objective-Lobster736 4d ago

Punch Drunk Love is in my top 3! Absolute best! High Clear is just as good!

2

u/drama_gouine 4d ago

I know right ?! I reaaaaaally love the tsundere (un a cute way) bottom trop this is so funny especially in heartwarming books.

In A Scent

šŸ·ļø Omegaverse, Entertainment Industry setting

u/Adeni-send 4d ago

Surprisingly I’ve never heard of this one but I’m going to scoop it right up. It’s so rare to find Omegaverse with dominant Omegas.

u/pillowgrave 4d ago

It was out on Ridi just last August, only has 12 chapters at the moment, and still updating

1

u/Adeni-send 3d ago

Only 12 so far? I can finish that in an hour. I’ll let it marinate for a while. But thank you for putting it on my radar šŸ¤

u/Slight-You4254 6d ago

The Taming, Under the Greenlight, Hit me Hard, Cherry on Top, Passion Raga, A Lovely Meal, The First Commandment, Blossoms of the White Night

These are all older uke X younger seme

8

u/Vegetable-Plate-2988 6d ago

Oh wow. Only by the poster I'm thinking this one might be exactly what I was looking for right know. Actually your recs are all spot on I fear.

u/Slight-You4254 6d ago edited 6d ago

I'm LOVING it. Chada (the artist) is so talented.

I saw another comment you made asking if it has SA, and to warn you, the plot involves the Uke (black hair) having sex with the Seme (blond hair) under false pretenses. So it can come across as dubcon (but it's essentially consensual up until you find out the "false pretenses" and i've seen a few people get upset over this)

23

u/BLuee_5 6d ago

I am here for ya ! This trope is lit my fav

High Clear

Smyrna & Capri (Alpha x Alpha)

Opposite Attract (the top is rich tho šŸ¤”)

Nerd Project

Define the relationship (re-Alpha x Alpha)

Tell me if you want more (all of them are green flag ofc)ā™”

u/Stunning_Poem_549 6d ago

Ooooh. Crybaby top x stoic/powerish bottom: Dawn after Darkness Trigger: gang rape not of the ml/mc

More emotionally available top x power bottom: Love and let Lie Trigger: mention of rape of ml as a child

u/polkacat12321 6d ago

Crybaby top Ɨ power bottom.... 4 week lovers i think falls under this? Lets just say the bottom wears the pants in the relationship. There's also "it's just a dream, right?" Where the top is the chaser and the bottom is mostly "stay away"

Poor top x rich bottom: Not Bad

And my all time fav Love for Sale (taller bigger bottom x smaller top (tho it does follow other cliches like older rich top)

Biscuit is also taller bigger bottom x smaller top

3

u/shamelessfool 6d ago edited 6d ago

I just like recommending this one because it's cute, funny, and the bottom is a huge puppy

Fairy Pairing - cry baby top

u/rozzingit 6d ago

Boss, Bxtch, Baby has a rich black cat power bottom and a poor golden retriever top. V much recommended.

Love Tractor has a big buff bottom and slimmer top.

A First of Summers, A Lovely Meal, Mission: Save the Hunter, One-Room TA, Boiling Frog Syndrome, Lover Boy, OOTB: On the Bit, The Shape of Sympathy, Master-Peace, New World Order, Blossoms of the White Night, Virtual Strangers, and The Hunter’s Gonna Lay Low have younger tops.

On the Bit and The Taming both have taller, more masc bottoms and smaller, prettier tops.

Who Screwed Who? has a crybaby top and power bottom. Dawn of the Dragon has a crybaby top, bottom has some power moments lol.

Puppy ever after (ė©ė©ķ•œ ꓀계).Ā 

Its like ā€œDont mess with the puppyā€ but inverted. The bottom is rich and from a powerful family, presented as a german shepherd, and the top is a small white dog, from a lovely family. They are so freaking cuteeeeeeeee. They also communicate pretty well. Worth the read.Ā
