A beta gets tangled up in a love triangle between an alpha and (blond) omega (alpha is probably endgame).

Theres this one BL where a guy works at an office and his boss is harsh and demanding of him but one day he sees that his boss doodled him into his papers. The worker guy also lifts his office's spirits with his positivity.

There was this mermaid BL I can't remember the name but I was planning to read it but it got lost in my tabs. The cover had a merman with white hair black fins and a tail. It was called "sh------ mermarid" I can't remember the first word.

Can't find this one smutty straight fullcolor manhwa. The whole premise is that the guy is into streaming and one day when house hunting he's apparently streaming on his phone and the realtor (female) shows him some houses and his chat tells him to grope her boobs and he tries. She then kicks him so hard the house collapses from the impact. She is then fired because she hit her boss with an ash tray (I think her name was hyuna..?). She then goes to the main dudes hosue and tells him she'll be his manager for streaming and that he has to take responsibility because it's his fault she got fired. First smut scene involves her having to cover her coochie with a mic while trying to turn off the stream. Other girl has big tits, short hair, blue eyes and is a sex addict and I'm pretty sure. Other chick has orange hair, yellow eyes and is a tsundere. Guy has an ex that gets mentioned sometimes. Didn't finish it.

I'm looking for a yakuza hetero manga where the two leads are heirs to their own respective yakuza clans (F= Osaka and M=Tokyo) get arranged marriage where the guy is a psychotic sadist who likes it when she insults him.

Usually I'm fine with it if it's a prologue in isekai because they accompany it with some visuals but it's explaining the magic system and weapons like a textbook with diagrams and huge paragraphs where I want visuals and actual demonstrations of what's being explained because I'm not reading a light novel I'm reading a manga. It's like use your medium and sometimes they do this when explaining political drama and even then it's like the situation isn't even that complicated or well thought out so it's not even fun to read through. I also hate it when mangas put a rectangle where they basically just give you the characters name and age as if you will remember the 10 back to back boxes with the characters you've seen once and know zilch about.

I hate when information is unorganically inserted into the story like a character explaining something that should be some mundane it should'nt even be explained like when a character does the equivalent of explaining what a car is and how it works.

it's super immersion breaking I was wondering what everyone else thought of it as well as sharing their most egregious examples of this thing occuring for me it's "The Villainess' Slow Prison Life Began With Her Broken Engagement" with it's pages full of explanation/ descriptions and recently "Tabun Akuyakureijono Hazudeshita Bijou Margaret he Yokoso" with the magic stones

I'm looking for non harem smutty works where the girl is a logical kuudere/ calm collected and the guy is a loving horny bitch that can't keep his hands off her. Where the girl doesn't just suddenly turn into a deredere or generic smut female lead that moans at the slightest graze or even worse she gets all shy, blushy and nervous as soon as her clothes are off. I don't want the kuudere to stop being a kuudere during sex I mean. I am okay with some expressiveness

(Istg if one of you recommends one that's too wordy or plot heavy. I do not want a "The Broken Ring : This Marriage Will Fail Anyway" where the girl is so cold she's a bitch and the man is such a whore that it's annoying and hypocritical whenever he opens his mouth.)

The prince and MC.... are they related? Because the MC is the bastard of the king right? And the prince is mad at the king for reasons? I just want some clarification because I am hella confused.

So do you ever find a good promo or one shot with beautiful art and when the day comes when it finally gets serialized——the colors got saturated the characters look cartoony and simple as hell compared to the promo and it’s like getting cattfished

Ok so we all know about the trope where everything about the plot is just misunderstandings right?
It can be annoying right?
But I found out how it can be used for a pretty decent story.
There is a good example of this and bad one
Father I don’t want to get married
And
Everything was a mistake
I’ll be trying to figure out why the flaw in one is a good feature in the other. You can check out these Manhwas because I won’t spoil any specific parts of either story.
So I believe one of the key reasons is that Father I don’t want to get married is that the misunderstandings lead to the reader’s enjoyment and overall fawning of the character dynamics as there really isn’t much frustration that comes from these misunderstandings they actually make you want to keep reading because the most likely thing to happen when the misunderstandings are cleared is that everyone will get along and the fans will get their payoff. We spend time with the characters outside of the misunderstandings as the dramatics of their lives don’t consume all of their traits it is very endearing for the story to have it’s characters be well liked even in misunderstandings.

Now we go to everything was a mistake which is just pure frustration with it’s misunderstandings as the misunderstandings don’t lead to good characters, by this I mean that the characters don’t have any traits outside of “I don’t want to die” for whatever reason. The misunderstandings actually keep the readers from good character interactions as if they have any traits. At some point the drama and misunderstandings got so muddled that I just dropped it. The story doesn’t treat itself as a romance because no matter how hard it try I have given up on considering it a romance as the two leads can’t even stand being in the same room. The misunderstandings just lead to less character interactions, less characterization, less story progression and worst of all less fan service to the readers. At this point the only things I’ve seen of people tolerating this is them being too deep into it to drop it.

Simply put one misunderstanding leads to good characters and good story the other leads to confusion.
I will not force you to like,hate or read either of these stories as everyone has their own opinions on the matter. The main reason I compared these two is that they are so similar with plot that I had to try and understand why I liked one more than the other.

What are your opinions on the matter?
do you think Everything was a Mistake worked better?
