Yaoi on sites like this are, unfortunately, read by far too many young people who lack the maturity required to grasp the concepts presented, let alone have the maturity to withhold a comment. They are young, life has been kind to them. They will learn.
How about you explain the concepts presented since you seem to understand them better than the young-immature commenters here?
Gladly. Let's start with the fact that all seven stories are shounen ai. There are no explicit sex scenes. There are *suggestive* scenes where an ass is shown bare, but those are the limit to the nudity. Thus, thus qualifies as shounen ai.
Shounen ai and "soft yaoi" are erotica. The purpose of the story is to entertain and arouse feelings of love or lust. Since these genre are written for females aged 16 to 18, love is prioritized over lust, since love is historically linked to lust and sex for young females through the influence of "fairy tales".
Now let's get specific. The first two chapters are the typical Harlequin Romance Novel version of "ravishment by an older, higher status and influential man". The maid loves and admires the prince from afar and due to an error on her part, the prince notices her.
Sorry, clumsy fingers.
The prince is overcome with desire for the maid and ravishes her. She thinks that, due to her status, the prince will never love her. So, she runs away, but the prince does love her and searches for her. When she is found they live happily ever after. This is the Harlequin Romance version of the first two chapters. Substitute "boy" for "maid" and "president" for "prince" and the same story is told.
The third, fourth, fifth and seventh chapters are also typical, but these are more straightforward "damsel in distress" stories. Nothing terribly unique or notable. A common theme in erotica for women is the Damsel in distress" being saved and ravished by her saviour.
The sixth chapter is an attempt at "bondage and discipline" with the dark twist of "revenge turned to love". This is also typical in romance novels where the heroine seeks revenge against a man who committed a grave injustice against her or her family, but when they meet she falls in love with the man she sought revenge against. He is usually a dark, but kind character. Treating her gently and spoiling her until she doubts herself and tries to take her revenge. Then, he ravishes her in his frustration and fear of losing her. Once their fears and anger are abated, they live happily ever after.
The final chapter is, again, typical romance. The dark and brooding warrior type whose gentle and kind side can only be brought out by the heroine.
Honestly, these are all remedially written romance themes that can be found in every erotic romance novel ever written. It's not rocket science. However, the typical age of readers here is between 15 and 23. Unfortunately, since the 1990s school systems in most liberal countries stopped teaching critical thinking skills. Choosing instead to simply require the answer, rather than asking "how" the answer was reached. This lack of critical thinking skills is easy to notice when a person reads a story and must relay a report or review on what they have read. Reading comprehension is poor in those who lack critical thinking skills. They have no idea how to read deeper meaning into what is happening in the story and can only relay what is written on the page. This seems unimportant until a young reader begins to read anything that is not a textbook. The subtleties and nuances of descriptive prose are lost. This is not the young reader's fault. The fault lies with the schools and teachers who only taught students WHAT the answer was rather than HOW to find the answer themselves. When a person lacks critical thinking skills they can only rely on others to tell them the answer because they lack the ability to find the answer on their own. This makes for excellent future "sheep"for the "shepherds" in power to lead around.
