I feel ya. I tried to read those, but the girls were so unnecessarily weak and the males were so arrogant that I immediately stopped. So much drama too... I know that's typical for a shojou, but god dang...
Agreed. For some reason, most shoujo smut I've read are all the same basic plot .. :/ Kinda like how 'this girl is being forced to do such and such' or eveything feels like rape. (Most of the reason that I found myself liking bl more is because of the common theme in shoujo smut) That's just my opinion, though. Not pointing fingers. (￣∇￣")
LOL LOL LOL LOL
Because of that, I Love Yaoi so much, more.. more than shoujosei smut. they have no feeling at all when have sex. always always always forcefull. hatefullll. it's really really really different when uke say "no no, don't... " to seme. my heart felt content. but when some shoujosei smut MC say "no no, don't.." I just scream.. bitch, if you don't want it, just kick him. slap him. SCREAM!!
LOL
oh, I never said that all of them had bad story yadda yadda, I find some good manga actually, like: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/koi_wo_suru_no_ga_shigoto_desu/
Just needed to get this out as I've hit a wall of frustration- apologies for the rant lol!
When I'm looking to get my jollies, I find myself usually gravitating towards yaoi (or the occasional yuri) but decided to shake it up over the last several days and explore the world of shoujo sex (aka the smut tag). Needless to say, I hated. Ignoring the overuse of rape, which is heavily featured in yaoi as well, there are just tons of reasons why shoujo smut pisses me off.
1. The main lead is pretty much always, always an asshole. In the rare cases he isn't, he will have an asshole friend who tries to rape the female MC. Always
2. There's never really any conflict resolution. Maybe it's just me but...does anyone else feel like the guy just gets away with whatever? It's like the girls are so dick-dizzy they forget how to confront them. Or it's a shallow "sorry" without addressing the root of the issue: possessiveness, paranoia, plain old douchebaggery...
3. Unnecessary drama. Well this is pretty typical in all shoujo but I find it's heightened in smut because now we have rape! So stupid scenes like a jealous girl group surrounding the MC and telling her how much her boyfriend dislikes her (cuz, ya know, they're bffs with the guy and all) now turns into girl being kidnapped and (almost) raped by a random group of guys! And every minor guy who blushes when he brushes hands with the MC becomes a brutal horndog whose need to hump her outweighs all rational thought. Seriously, it's like all the characters are on drugs- their reactions are so extreme!
4. And this is really just a preference thing but the art just isn't as detailed and it ends up feeling like a ton of buildup for nothing!
Once again, super sorry for the rant. I was originally going to write only a few lines, but apparently I felt more strongly about this than I thought lol. To anyone who managed to read this far- cookies, cookies, everywhere. Or would candy canes be more holiday appropriate? Anywhoo...I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts on it and/or you've come across any smut that really exceeded your expectations, either good or bad (I'm up for a laugh). (⌒▽⌒)
