does anyone else get really tired of seeing all the comments lambasting characters thatre literally just insecure or some shit? like im so autistic i can hardly take a theme out of any media rnd even i know this shit
like miscommunication is such an overused trope and its annoying, whatever we all agree on that but its a real ass thing that happens!! and when authors actually GIVE a reason for the miscommunication (take the bbgirl in my pfp for example, hes so insecure bc ash is his first real relationship + literally 0 social skills) it makes sense and is more realistic than other weirdass shit authors pull. ESPECIALLY WHEN THESE CHARACTERS ARE FUCKING TEENAGERS. WHOLE TEENAGERS IN HIGHSCHOOL. do yall not remember how shitty that time was????
its so annoying hiw people will type away, basically harassing a whole drawing without even considering that the character.... has a personality and shit..??? literally saw someone saying dan kim needs to stand up for himself to horse-face as if he wouldnt be beaten and/or thrown out to the curb.
man this shit just annoys the fuck out of me like all these characters that have issues with self-esteem and communication and shit have those issues because authors give them really fucked up childhoods/backstories. (AGAIN TAKE LYLE AS AN EXAMPLE I DONT THINK BRO EVEN WENT TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL P SURE HE WAS HOMESCHOOLED. LIKE WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM HIM AFTER SPENDING 33 YEARS WITH A FAMILY THATS EXTREMELY EMOTIONALLY DETACHED AND HAVING GROWN UP KNOWING HE WAS JUST A TOOL???? FOR HIM TO MAGICALLY BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THINGS OPENLY JUST BECAUSE ITS ASH??? is it obv that in particular i really hate the hate to lyle being scarid to talk abt things)
anyways idk i just needed to yell out ento the endlessness of the internet ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ and if someone agrees and finds this then epic woohoo
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
YES OMG everyone is so quick to hate and judge a character forgetting that people are literally supposed to be complex and have different personalities!! It irks me sm when people hate on “doormat” or pushover/shy characters when in reality their actions are perfectly rational and they’re justified in feeling that way (/TДT)/
i wanna read more fantasy BLs but i feel like theyre so hard to find as is but then looking for ones with healthy relationships is even worse.
i wanna read fantasy that is like a) the dragon, middle ages, knights kind, b) (post)apocolyptic world from zombies or something similar, like mutated animals/humans from radioactive waste, or c) everythings regular just either mc/ml is and angel/demon and the others a human or the opposite if the other, angel x demon for example (i love that trope sm, its forbidden love but better), those kinda things. either of those typa things is what im looking for, other stuffs cool but just no esperverse or abo, please god.
ones im reading/have read rn like one of these are 'Sweetie, Sweetie, Sweetie', 'I Can See Your Stats!', 'Rainbow City', 'The Fallen Duke & The Knight Who Hated Him', 'The Modern Wizad Hunting Project', 'Affectionately', 'Your Dream Is Delicious', 'Angel Buddy'
idk man i just want fantasy BLs with sweet relationships like more shonen ai oriented stuff i want fluff and sweetness, i dont mind my heart being stomped on either. thanks for any suggestions, even like links to lists with this kinda stuff vaguely is appreciated

okay so its explicitly stated that ash has his rut annually in the novel, next chapter i believe he says once or twice a year. for reference, its mentioned that ruts typically occur once every month to 3 months (month to 3 months might be incorrect but i remember it being mentioned that its pretty normal for alphas to have ruts once a month sometimes a little longer). so hypothetically ash has ruts around 12x (6x if twice a year) more intense than whats average.
and im not saying anything more than this in relation to his previous ruts: its more than safe to say that ash also had a lot of... pent up energy in a way
i just wanted to mention this for people concerned about how he was acting. if you read between the lines enough this is something that can be thought of without this information (i came to this conclusion at chapter 95 before even finding a complete trans of the novel). also by all my interpretations i believe lyle doesnt consider any of it as non-con. poor guy just needed a second to catch his breath and ash wasnt thinking enough to realise until he passed out
btw translation is on wattpad (yes, wattpad, im serious) done by @ Yuikobayashi2 . theyre also actively translating the arranged marriage au.
