Ever read them the one called Go the Fuck to Sleep? Its a real book. You can even listen to Samuel L Jackson read it. https://vimeo.com/27019462
Egads you haven't lived the true fujoshi dream until you've read Captive Prince. I can't describe how awesome it is. Made me cry so much. The writing is truly top notch. It takes an old cliché bl abduction tripe and spins it on its head. Waaah its 215am here and my sentences don't make sense! I suppose I should call it a night.
Oh we're in the same time zone. I'm just used to this cause I have bad habits. Is it like a tear your heart out depressing thing like hua hua you long...not so into brutal stories I'm a big fluff ball at heart...and body well not that fluffy but...you know. I mean I can get through tragedy if the ending is decent.
Ahh well I don't know how it ends because I haven't read the 3rd book. But there's a very sweet scene in the 2nd book that is such a tearjerker because all the feels have built up. I would say its a little hard to read but not a primarily angst story. Its both romance and adventure, and the characters have nuance that is very atypical of smutty bl. If you want sweet romance I suggest Hot Heads by Damon Suede and for a hilarious yet sweet read, Sno Ho by Ethan Day. Stupid titles but don't judge them based on that!
Probably Captive Prince is not for you. If you want quality upbeat bl fiction it can be hard to find because there's some kind of angst fetish among lots of bl authors and readers. I like bl comedy because angsty emo yaoi is so boring to me. For most ppl i think writing tragedy is easier than comedy because writing jokes and making them appeal to a wide audience is a skill that doesn't come naturally to many. Truly funny situations can't be recycled the way tragedy can be. I mean there are a million ways to write about rape and Stockholm's syndrome. What can be more difficult is finding a way for a character to go through rough times but still be able to laugh at themselves. What makes emo yaoi boring to me mainly lies in the unbroken and unrelenting stream of shitty hands the MC is dealt. The MC is suffocated by hyperexaggerated negative emotions and it ends up suffocating me. But probably its just because I've been through super depressing shit and I know based on experience that the only way one can survive abuse is by breaking free from abusive situations and people. It's extremely rare for a person to fall madly in love with their abuser. But it's basically standard yaoi canon nonetheless. Omg why am I ranting like this?? ( ̄へ ̄) Argh I need cheesy yaoi to boost my PMSy mood.
Oh wow! I made it. I have 1000 manga in my already read section. It's all yaoi
I am officially beyond help!!
