I miss the feeling of getting the excited and my organs flailing around, the BLs that made me feel like that was Here U are and Heesu in Class 2. For some reason I can't seem to get excited or too into the BLs i find these days, I just finished Netkama Punch and yes it was good but it wasnt oh my god it changed my yaoi life, this also applies to other recent BLs I've read.
Idk if it's the adult life finally hitting me and my lack of romance action in my life that made my perception of love and dating completely disappear. I just really miss the excitement I had back then when reading BL.
And this might probably be a problem but I'm really a picky reader too T_T. If the artsyle isn't great I might drop it, if i cant click with the characters I drop it, I leave it on reading and never finish it, the writing is mid or straight up creepy, I love fluff and smut esp when the smut is so juicy.
So if u have like any BLs u wanna rec me feel free to share or just express if u relate as well
Yeah it's true. BLs kind of lose its charm I know. I don't know about you but personally the BL which made me restart yaoi again was "1995 youth report". But that's just me. I quit reading BLs after 2021 (I like buff bottoms, and no significant age gap) but during those times age gaps was a thing, and buff bottoms were rarer in manhwa. (I remember reading Cherry Blossoms after winter during those times and gaslighting myself that the uke is not THAT much of a twink lol , yeah it was a bad time to be a buff bottoms enjoyer). I did enjoy full volume back then, mainly due to SMUT (lmao). Nowadays I just read whatever. I like a good buff bottom pairing with either friends to lovers or bickering to lovers dynamic with virgin4virgin leads. But that's just me. And q995 youth report is like, all of this. So I was kind of locked in for this. Haha. I don't know if this is your taste or not, but I js shared my experience. XOXO peace out!!
I feel the same way recently, BL has lost its touch for me. Gosh I used to be so addicted and read BL or Shoujo like a madwoman. Nowadays all the new BLs are so boring and filled with unnecessary tropes, I find myself skimming more often than ever. I used to be a super picky reader. If I saw one plot hole, stupid trope, bad art, or bland characters then I was gone. Nothing is ‘change my life good’ anymore. I was introduced to BL very young and it was all very exciting at first. Now, the story has to have any one of these things to move me: be earth-shattering, have depth/nostalgia, or light up my heart with it’s wholesomeness.
Here are some that accomplished this for me (although I can’t promise it’ll do the same for you~)
