Like the title, regarding the definition of no CP and the definition of no male protagonist, I think it’s better to explain it first.
As a non-CP person who only likes to see the career line of the female protagonist, but can accept a male supporting character who admires the female protagonist, or a female protagonist who admires a certain male supporting character but decides to choose a career, I found that I was wrong! I am not a non-CP person!
I checked online today and found that there are quite a lot of disagreements about no cp.
On the premise that the heroine is pursuing a career, some authors believe that no CP means that there is no emotional line at all, and the mother and child are single to the end. It does not count if the heroine does not take the initiative to have a heartbeat. It does not count if a supporting character has a heartbeat but dies in the middle.
It doesn’t count if you are forced into a passive marriage, there is no ambiguity at all, only the plot is without cp.
What I think is no cp has always been that the protagonist has not formed a couple with any supporting characters. The focus is that he is not with anyone. The protagonist can have a romantic partner, and there can also be supporting characters who are attracted to the protagonist. As long as the heroine does not actively choose to want to
To form a spouse, there is no cp.
But now it seems that the type I prefer is more appropriately described as "no male protagonist".
So for readers who like non-CP, let me warn you in advance that this book does not have a male protagonist.
Thank you all for your tolerance and understanding!
