yes, that's so true! I would read something with an interesting premise and the comments saying it's wholesome and stuff but immediately get hit in the face by smut. it's not that I don't want smut at all in the story, because I would just use the tags, I'm saying it's a lazy way to start a story and it should be a plot-driven narrative.

Literally all peak BLs are gone now, or rather the authors are not creative anymore in making them.
The only BLs I'm interested in reading right now are Dreadful Night, Melting Point, Between the Lines and The Taming. The problem is they'll start off strong with interesting plots but halfway the season it becomes so boring so to counter they'll put unnecessary SA in them that the only thing I'll remember from reading that is when the MC was raped and that will be the turning point of the story whether the MC will still forgive the ML to have a happy ending.
I'm so over this. I tried keeping up with mangas but they're practically the same just shorter.
