I low-key hate whenever author have their Twink bottoms quote "act" like a bottom but the buff muscular ones either were tops before or "act" like tops. Why does one have to "act" the way they look? Can't a muscular man "act" like a bottom? (Acting like a bottom isn't a real thing). And can't a Twink uke be a former seme? I think the reasoning for that is kinda rooted in hetronormativity. Not saying I hate it but it's always the same. "Uke looking" uke acts like uke and "seme looking" uke acts like a seme?????

    There's a ton of manhwas where buff and huge bottoms "act" like stereotypical bottoms, so i don't understand your concern

    There is not? Most "top looking" bottoms act manly aka like a "top". And Twink ones? I can count on 1 hand how many of them "act" like tops. Or were former tops. And I don't understand why You are getting defensive. Or maybe u aren't but I get the feeling that u are. Not to mention it is not that hard to understand my point.

    I may have some recs for you because I like characters that break out of stereotypes. Are you looking for stories that have beefy femme bottoms specifically? Or stuff where characters personality is different from their how their body is stereotyped? Ie manly/masculine twinks and femme/girly muscles.

    1. If you're really into that i can give you a lot of recs, cause personally I found a huge amount of such manhwas to the point where it started feeling too repetitive and the other way round felt more refreshing, so I can help you if you want it

    2. No defensiveness here, but like the korean and alternative name of this specific manhwa is "that guy was a top", so it's like literally the main point here with 2 couples, so i don't think if it's even true it should be applied to this manhwa.

    3. And also I haven't found anything similar in characters dynamics (I mean season 4 couple) anywhere else even though I would really like that. Like I needed to gave up sm manhwas because at some point everywhere bottoms start having more "bottom" bodies or starting to act and behave like "stereotypical bottoms" and it feels just sm more common to be fr

    4. But if you were talking about first couple (red hair guy and black hair guy) than yeah that's getting common and mb I was kinda overreacting, but if you said that about the third and current couple and their specific execution of it then you're just wrong, because it is frankly extremely rare

    For your 2nd point id like to point out how the name should have been applied to all couples, but again that's where my point comes, it's only about the ukes that "look" like a top and not the Twink one. Literally my point, top looking ukes were former tops and Twink skinny bottoms have always been bottom (or have never done it, same thing). And yeah I'm not complaining about the fact they "act" like tops, I'm complaining about them only doing so when they quote "look" like tops.

    Hey btw please do not take this in an offensive way, if you do please not that it wasn't meant that way, I just wanted to make my point clear. (I'm tired of arguing with people so I'll say this in advance)
