BL tropes/genres

I’m not being on guideverses. I’m not even sure why. Dear 00 was nice though.

Big on*

It’s not exactly a refuse to read but I really hate when something so clearly would’ve been more beautiful and meaningful as a tragedy but the author made it a happy end just for the sake of it having a happy ending. I also am not a fan of when kidnapping arcs take up more than 10 chapters like obviously if that’s not the main plot point(secretary Jin’s diary for example) but when it just keeps going for 10 or more chapters i just drop it

Dom/sub verse. Butt cheek genre. Traditional bdsm is so much more delicious.

See this is a trope that I think I would be more into but I really dont read it as much. It's never done in the way I want it to be lmao. Dear 00 is legendary tho, maybe just cuz I'm obsessed with BWAT

I know this is ironic because I refuse to read things with a sad ending at alllll but I actually agree! I think people associate sad endings with bad story. Just cuz something didnt end in fairytale happiness doesnt make it a bad story. Some stories I read, I think "there is no way this ends in a happy way" but it always gets twisted to be a happy ending even if it is super unrealistic.

I think I have a couple of these genres in my TBR list but I actually havent read one of these yet, which is suprising. Is there a particular reason you dislike them?

No srsly BWAT is always the exception lol

I'm just so glad Dear 00 gets to continue. it would have been such a waste if it got canceled

Just hate the forced aspect of being a dom or sub in that universe and the inability to resist because it is the inherent nature of the secondary gender. Consent is vital in bdsm play, but if you're born a sub and you inherently cannot resist a dom's command, you no longer have consent. the doms themselves inherently want to control and can easily do so without regard for the sub's consent. The whole verse is just a disaster.

cheating tropes , abuser x abused , and stockholm syndrome eugh

ohhhhhh yeah that makes sense. I didnt really think thats how it was, I didnt expect it to be as forceful as it sounds

Same for me allthough my reason is it is so often so rapey. There were a few tropes I needed to warm up to but guideverse is in so many cases just red/black flag. Dom / sub in the other hand is very green flag coded, at least from what I read

Do you have any Dom/Subverse recs? someone else commented and they didnt like it very much so i wanna read some and see for myself lol

Disclaimer: been a while since I read them but with all the verses I struggle the least with subverse. Hope you can enjoy (one of ) them.
