Like I'd ask for recommendations and Its the fact Ive already came across them either Ive already read, is currently waiting for updates/reading, or dropped either due to the artstyle, comments or plot/characters
I geuinely wanna be stuck reading smth that everytime u have a free time u js go to it yo read
You might want to try this it has a unique plot and it's one of favorite manhwas
Paljae, Child of Winter. It's a manhwa and it's historical and has korean mythological stuff, heavens, humans, ascendants, demons. It has danmei type of plot
Summary:
It's more than just coincidence.
Young Paljae drifts to the isle at world's end to be taken in by Munryeong, a hermit with a mysterious past. But when Paljae begins to waste away in the sun-bathed climate, Munryeong takes his little companion on a journey to the cold north that uncovers their forgotten past encounter.
(It's my fav manhwa, it's honestly so well written and has amazing art, the characters and the story is complex and it's plot based)

By the way it's not a pedophile manhwa or anything, the mc and ml's relationship is so complex and deep and they've met in the past they just don't remember
I’m not sure how old you are but you could just be getting older and your tastes are maturing and your standards are higher than anything these quick-turnout story formats are able to offer. I recommend looking into classic literature for more engaging work cause you probably just want something more intellectually stimulating (which is normal). There also also classic manga with heavier themes out there too if you want to look for them. Reading the same genre over and over will leave you pretty bored of it after a while I think and I’ve had the same problem over the years and come back to BL and webtoons only sometimes. I don’t mean to knock the webtoon format and I think it’s a valid way to create art but I think you could just be looking for something different
If not that then maybe if you’re not enjoying other things either you could be down emotionally and just not enjoying the things you usually do but you would have to be the one to know that for certain
Maybeyou need a break from the manga/webtoon format. Try BL dramas instead of you want romance in a different format. I highly recommend watching Sammy's Children's Day, Bad Buddy, Word of Honor, To My Shore and 10 Dance.
Mix it up. Read some classic world literature. Then watch obscure period films. Explore world media. Then come back to the BLs. Try GL. If it doesn't work, get really busy with life/work/school and then come back to the stories. This was what personally helped me break out of a repetitive rut. Ultimately, when we keep doing the same thing everyday, our brain is gonna get timed to notice patterns and predicts things easily. The dopamine hits will be less as a consequence. So sometimes a dry spell of not consuming a lot of media continuously could also reset the brain.
(Kind of hijacking this post sorry) do you have any novel/novella recs? I’m always looking for something new to read and perspectives from different places :D
I been reading bl or just mmm's in general(manhwa, manga, manhua) since I had access to the internet (I will estimate around when I was 8). Idk if Im genuinely tweaking but I literally GOT NOTHING too read anymore
Manga in general mostly usually have the same plot structure specifically on their respective genres, theres good ones but ofc they already eneded or is in hiatus
Manhwas are js copy n paste in general in most genres, esp in fantasy & romance(including straight, gl,bl) and even if there is smth good its either theyre on a hiatus or already ended
Manhuas are 50/50 u either come across the most beautifully written piece or ur reading some bs that has the same level of an ai writing a story(most of them are on hiatus, the "what the fuh r these translations" ahh), mostly have godly artstyle and some r either genuinely too confusing as a plot that ur js there questioning what even is going on
Basically in general, I got nothing to read anymore
Nothing interesting—I really like manhwas with no ROMANTIC interests but its hard to go by those without getting hit with the same plot structure
Atm im reading fogland which out of all the stories im reading rj is the most interesting
Idk I swear theres smth missing
