Is men'ul illness, luv (BL)

When mental illness is part of or the main theme of the plot. Characters dealing with shit and struggling. Not every portrayal is entirely accurate or good representation, but it's also not used as some scary character device in a horror plot. Just illness impacting life, which is the true horror of it all.

Representation/depiction meter (in my opinion):

 Bad, shitty, overused, just for the shock value
 Not bad, not great; somewhat okay, nothing special 
 Good, pretty good even
 Great!

Depiction of a very important topic; doesn't go deep enough or show the healing process realistically enough, yet still good enough execution

Author(s): Oryu
Genre(s): Yaoi / Webtoons

- emotional processing disorder (possibly symptom of autism or a cluster A or B personality disorder)

(I've included this in the mental illness list because a) the ML might have a personality disorder of some sort especially given his lack of empathy, and b) autism itself can create and/or raise the risk for mental health issues. It also presents itself in ways that create emotional distress and interpersonal issues in the story.)

It's okay, not too bad, not too great

Spoiler




- imo self harm behavior (presented as extreme masochism both outside of, and in bed) possibly because of CSA

Good representation; very chilling yet straight to the point reveal of the childhood sexual abuse, nothing sensationalized about it; the way the survivor of it came to be also makes sense
