Personally for me, i despise the billionaire's ex wife and alpha and his mate tropes. Both the novels tropes get on my nerve.
But still, there are plenty of novels like this in many platforms, which has more than 1 million views.
But first let's start with the cons about the "billionaire's ex wife novel."
So mostly in this settings. The mc (mostly FML) gets abused in the marriage. (Mostly by getting neglected, emotional abuse and sometimes physical abuse too). The FML gets married to ml who is often described as cold, rutless, distant and blah blah blah. But god knows why, the mc is in love with him.
She tries her everything to make the ml like her. But in the end gets humilated by him or his ex girlfriend. (Can you believe that? The male leads ex girlfriend is living with him and his wife. And the reason for that is nothing. She is only there for plot. Nothing else.
But after enduring this much abuse. The FML suddenly be like. "Screw this, i am not in love with him anymore" and after that she starts to ignore the ml but still deep inside in her heart she fancies him. (Like girl, please chill. Stop simping for a dude who treats you like a trash)
But after that, the male lead's little ego gets hurt thinking about how can a woman ignore him? This mostly happens because they are so used to of girls throwing themselves on them. (Because they are rich)
And now, the male lead is like (She ignored me, now i love her. Even though I treated her like s*** for years)
But just for extra drama, the FML wants a divorce now. And after 100 chapters she does take the divorce with him. (But guess what? She got pregnant in the process.) (And reading this I was like. Why? If you don't love him anymore then why did you slept with him? (But guys, mostly in this type of novels. The ml forces themselves on the FML but still some people find it romantic. What can I say to them?
And now we have ml, FML, the villainess and now we need a second male lead too right? The one who will protect the female lead, support her and love her unconditionally. But still, in the end. The stupid FML leaves the sml for the jerk. (I am not an emotional person. But i pity the second male lead guys the most) (they usually either kill the sml off or sometimes the author makes the sml a villain. Just so they could show their jerk ml as a saint.
But you guys know how those novels end right? Yeah, the stupid doormat FML goes back to her cheating ex and have 5000 babies with him. And after that, the end
