What is your biggest pet peeve when reading BL?

Tell us. Don't be scared. No one knows you here.

Mine is when a translator puts too much unnecessary comments. I hate it when I'm reading BL and all of a sudden I see texts like "omg yes", "yes bish get dat ass", "omg that's sooo sad", etc.

Don't get me wrong. I am grateful for these updates and I would rather see unnecessary translator notes than no updates at all. BUT... it really breaks the immersion when you're reading BL and see those texts.

Like come on man, I came here to read and escape the real world. And everytime I see those unnecessary texts, it feels like I'm being yanked out from another world and it's the worst feeling.

    i hate it when it’s blurry but it really can’t be helped so i don’t blame them.

    but i also hate it when,

    the chapters are all messed up, first it’s a fan translation then it gets licensed, and they start posting the official translation but then some other group takes over and post their own translation? like why?

    anyways that’s it really. i don’t mind anything else, like as long as i’m reading something that’s not shit, i’ll be good.

    Lol I just get used to not reading them, like the same way I don’t read text for noises. So yh that doesn’t really bother me, the things that do are weirdly cut webtoons and if it’s so blurry. Either way happy they upload I ain’t really complaining

    i just go for shounen ai, theres a lot less shoujo-ey stereotypical stuff in there, compared to yaoi where mans pants are dripping and blushing redder than trumps face on a hot day

    lmfao i don't really like it when the seme's automatically 'hot' and 'mysterious'. while the uke's 'cute' and 'naive'. not to mention that they have unnecessarily big eyes. like, really big. i mean, bish what? i get that uke's are innocent but i'd rather read some delinquent and buff bottoms than frail and weak ones. i want tops who are puppy-like and uke's who are high-class. lmfao idk really. i guess i just want some roles reversed for once.

    I read on other sites, and it's probably the comments. They're always filled with spoilers, fetishization, or complaints but otherwise I hate it when it breaks off into two parts in a super important part, excessive amount of watermarks, and brushed aside rape

    The “I’m straight but I’ll take a chance with this dude” it’s straight up bi phobic and weird

    If it’s in terms of scanlation, when pages get out of order I get so confused, or when part of the page gets cut off and I can see that there’s supposed to be something there but can’t read it ┗( T﹏T )┛
    Also when someone uploads over a scan group who has been doing quality and timely uploads with a google translate version...why.


    In terms of BL tropes...there’s a few but I hate when the story is awesome and the couples have great chemistry and actually like each other... and then there’s rape
    (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
    And then it gets glossed over and just...whyyyyy please it ruins everythingggg
