How has your BL taste changed over the years?

yes tbh i was more into really popular bls but now ik what i like and what i don't and surprisingly i started reading shounen ai more

Thank you for answering! And I understand, sometimes people just read for the romance and story, than for the spicy stuff. Lol

I started out with yaoi anime around 2013-2014 (I think).

My first watches were Junjou Romantica, Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi, etc. When I was younger, I really liked them, lol! But... I don't think I'd be able to watch them again because of the drawn-out miscommunication stuff, haha.

I don't think my tastes have changed all that much. I prefer wholesome yaoi, though psychological ones are also interesting to me. Smut scenes are also a good bonus~ (^u^) I try to stay away from the rapey/toxic ones because sometimes the characters are just... Bleh.

As for my preference in manga/manhwa, I tend to read more manga. I've read a few manhwa, but I don't usually click with most of them.

My favorite yaoi right now is Define The Relationship! The characters are such sweethearts.

honestly i used to read anything but my tastes have evolved so much that I can almost never read something that makes me satisfied lol...

anything with extremely stereotypical and i close it like the small uke big seme trope i got so tired of that i hate it and almost exclusively look for same body type or big uke small seme things.

i also have been really into middle aged/older aged characters in bls rather than years ago when i would mostly read school life or younger characters. age gap relationships that are like 30yrs and 45+yrs are so good...

its so bad that my tastes evolved this was because theres nothing for me anymore

Thank you for answering! Ah the good old days of Junjou Romantica and Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi. I can highly agree, miscommunication manga trends have been a thing that tends to pop up so often. If played out right can make a great story. But draw it out for like 4 volumes or more? It's too much lol.

Ah, yes! I like psychological bl manga/manhwa. They keep you on your toes. Especially if there is a plot twist involved. And I understand, haha. Some people like either jp manga, kor manhwa, or even chinese donghua. This bl world is our oyster!

Oh! I've read that a bit back. They are, aren't they! I like the omegaverse, but with a little change to it. They are such a cute couple. Comics that break away from the norm of a tiny bottom character that seem weak and frail and a top that's an ass-hat or just overall too dominant, are truly a breath of fresh air. MLM couples are one of my favorites. The relationship seems more wholesale when being developed.

Thank you again for answering!

Thank you for answering!
I highly agree. The basic trope of the stereotypes in bl manga/manhwa gets on your nerves after a while. Especially if you have been a lot time reader and you get older and more mature.
I've always liked the concept of mlm yaoi manga since I was younger, but they were SO hard to come by. So I totally understand the struggle.
Age apes in BL are great! But some mangaka ( or their Korean or Chinese counterparts) seem to miss a mark on how to play it out properly. For example, an age gap the involves a middle schooler and a older man in his late 20s or early 30s, is a red flag. But a collage student with and older man in there 40s is pretty nice. Especially if their personalities mix together very well.

Lol I hope you can find some that you'll come to like! I like to go back a read some old manga I like and try out something similar to them. To kind of branch of to new horizons.
Try that and see if it's for you. Can't hurt lol.

Thanks for taking the time to make your question and reply back. Made me reflect on what it was that I was trying to find from all the yaois I've experienced, haha. It was pretty fun to share my experience, and I liked reading about yours.

Have a good one. (●'◡'●)ﾉ

I love getting to know people that like the same stuff as I do!

Hehe, you have a great one too! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
