i see ty, i learned a lot
You're welcome.
Lotsa female done the "doesn't have to put any effort in to maintain at all." part irl (they can effortlessly get a mate because.. well, female.. lotsa men are simps too), so why won't anyone create the reversed gender version in storybooks lol.
It's a business potential.
A simpler way to put it, it's fantasy, so it sells. Why would someone, write something that happens every day, all the time, all around the world... especially in a male dominated space.
Might work as a light-novel, but they'd have to ramp up how much the dude does for the chick, while also not actually doing anything, cause the man doing something i a turn-off at the same time.
Would have to be a benefits by proxy kinda thing.
O wait... I just described 90% of these female lead webcomics.... Oops. But they're not an actual role reversal cause the man acts cold and reserved... doting... ah, well the father looking after his daughter ones has that... but well, that's not romance.
Maybe there are some LNs that have it? dunno, but it ain't popular enough to get an adaptation that does well.
Cause who'd it be for? Men don't want it, Women don't want it, so who actually wants to read, a man one-sidedly simping for a girl... No one, if anyone did, they wouldn't find a book about it, they'd go on the twitter or chats of a female twitch streamer :|
p.s. The true role reversal, ignoring the whole "gender-equality" bullshit, would be something like 50 shades of grey. i.e. dominant man, in a basically rapey way, but is still very macho, and not creepy at the same time.
