well they are the most popular
idk are they? To me it feels more like that's the only thing available lol
Like Dear door was REAAAALLY popular (there is some grape at the very start tho sadly)
It's Just a Dream, Blood Bank or Anti PT were also very popular
I think the push and pull is whats popular. Many enemies to lovers are popular AND well received with consent written in.
Rape is just another fetish (especially in bl universe) that doesnt add anything to the plot unless it is for trauma/overcoming/savior tropes
Right? Angst, psychological or complex doesn't mean toxic
Pearl boy (which clearly could have been less dark) was heavy and psychological but the main couple was not toxic
The author forced themselves to write a toxic story ?!
There are already tons of those tho lol
