I really tried to like this but holy shit the communication is so fucking bad and the characters are so unlikeable. Takano’s asshole friend has no business trying to interfere with his friend’s relationship. He was painfully petty and bitchy and the mc just believed him at his word. Mc is also just leading the ml on even though the ml had tried to validate the mc by telling him he loves him a lot. + side couples chapters were placed weirdly in the middle of the story 4/10
not bad compared to others on this list but I couldn’t get into it no matter how much I tried. Both of them are straight to gay. I don’t like that trope because of how unrealistic it usually is. it kinda puts gay as a bad thing/something to not be revealed(?)honestly you shouldn’t be dating if you can’t be open with your lover. (tho they weren’t really lovers bc nobody made it official??) also what’s with that random girl trying to rape mc 6/10
Only read the first few chapters but had to drop it bc mc was literally getting groomed by an older adult and then when he moved to Tokyo he cheated on his childhood friend lover. Like wtf 2/10
I really don’t like any of the characters except the ml for the second couple. Blonde mc has pissed me off time and time again with his horrendous communication skills and the black haired ml is basically no better. Also in the 50’s chapters why tf did the blonde go meet his ex at a bar and give him money, they’re ex’s for a reason I don’t understand why he did that and lied to his bf about it 5/10
First of all you shouldn’t be rough with a virgin and SECOND OF ALL wtf was up with him getting kidnapped and raped by that alpha woman(she had a d too) like what the actual fuck she knew he had a boyfriend and they already broke up so she decided to induce his heat and rape him. This is why I sometimes really hate ABO 2/10
Yeah nope can’t read this hits too close to home and it’s just gross. Imagine being raped by your boyfriends brother as a child, absolutely not. No wonder the mc has a phobia of alphas, he was brutally raped as a kid that’s so fucked up 1/10
I don’t hate this manga or anything but a few parts really irked me. I liked how mc’s specific trauma was shown as physical repulsion with smell so I find that is realistic but the author trying to justify the ex’s actions is so fucking wrong. Ex let the mc get gang raped and it pisses me off even more that at the end it showed the ex and the ml being “buddies” LIKE WTF the ml knows full well the mc was gang raped by the ex that ruined it a bit for me 6/10
First of all their relationship moved at the speed of light and second of all it lowkey felt like he cheated on rain with theia. Like I get that they're the 'same' person but they felt completely different so it felt like the dude just moved on really fucking fast :/ 4/10
Idk what I was expecting but I was cringing the whole time. Dude was basically a high class sex slave who was in love with and repeatedly fucked by the mc’s shitty dad. Multiple times he was raped and the mc even watched his father fuck him and then he was forced to watch as people gang banged the guy he loved. I rlly hate tropes of people watching their lover geting raped 1/10

The pearl boy review is just so insanely disrespectful, acting like all of us handle our trauma the same exact way. Imperfect victim vibes. I actually handle it the same as the uke, so thanks for basically spitting on my face. Considering you also do not know what dark romance is, you're probably a child who should not be reading half of the novels here.
Great descriptions. There's some stories I've read in here that I've had the same opinions on as you. They're insane and not in a good way and ppl just brush over it or try to excuse it. ITS SO ANNOYINGG
the way you haven’t fumbled a single one of these descriptions??? too real
every single point made on this list was a hit i literally agree with EVERY comment you had to make 10/10 list
THANK YOU for the validation bc some
of these manga’s are rated so high that i’m
like questioning if i’m the only one who hates it (´༎ρ༎`)
You're so right dude
<3
YOU ARE SO REAL FOR THIS
REALEST NON BRAIN DEAD LIST EVER
LMAO ily. This was honestly therapeutic to make
God my damn stomach hurt so much from all this laughing for reading all your thoughts about the mangas you've read
omg this is my favorite list ever, everything is so right, this is definitely something I would do if i wasn't so lazy
there's just this very toxic part of me that dislikes something and wants everyone who liked it to know it's trash and they have bad taste
i mean, non-con, player character, "straight" guy, cheating, "i sexually harass you because i like you"... ughhh, enough with thoseee
youuu understand me loll.
Honestly I’m rlly lazy too but I eventually just read a manga that I had to rant ab somewhere so I ended up making this list haha
ily for making this list xoxo
