Ohhh now it makes sense You’re actually right. People would eat it up if it’s bl but lose their minds if it was a straight romance.
That’s literally how I felt with The S-Classes That I Raised. I saw spoilers that it’s bl and I was so confused I LOVE BL, don’t get me wrong, but I was lowkey hoping it’d just stay focused on the family/sibling bonding with little to no romance. Not every story needs romance fr.
I’m not against romance at all, I actually love it when it’s done right. I just didn’t expect The S-Classes That I Raised to go that route, so I was lowkey disappointed when I found out huhu Then I opened the comments and everyone was celebrating that it was bl while I was just sitting there like… “am I the only one who wanted zero romance?”

Nah yall js hate s8 male mc romance (esp the female love interest) in general while praising over the sky bromance hoping it canon (e.g s class that i raised, aint no line in sight we see hate comments abt the "bromance"(gave it a quote cz ts lit bl in disguise) ruining the fantasy action story or endless yapping "i js want PURE FANTASY ACTION STORY" in that story), and liking fantasy action fmc w romance w lots of hot male ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Conclusion
Change the gender of love interest to male BET theres no endless yappinggg~
So no matter how good the female love interest is (e.g raviel/alicia/elena) yall gonna said romance romance ruins it (or worse called her a bitch in the first moment she showed up like whaaaatt (⊙…⊙ ) gagging cz yall genuinely a clown, funny af) as long as its not a "male" yall gonna complainn and complain
But we or js YOU aint ready for that convos yet
Anw its has romance js dont read lmao. I avoided harem like a plague do is still read story that hv harem? No ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
