Do you guys think that your type in fictional character correlates with your type in real life? I can’t really say I have a type irl but I do tend to like the scary stoic but kind characters the most in manhwas.
In fantasy world? The blond mfs in behind the scenes and honey trouble OR a devoted one like the blond from Smyrna & Capri or the top in unsettling scent.
Realistically? The top in private call or the top from you are my world (they seem more realistic, the other ones or don't exist or they're going to have me landed in the psych ward).
Guys what is cakeverse? What does that mean?
idk man cakes and forks and some shit. I think this is the one verse I'm lowkey not even interested in reading cuz it just sounds funny to me lol.
I think a fork is like someone who cant taste normal food but cakes taste good to them or something and cakes are people that taste good to forks? I think?
ive never read one and dont know any more than this but there are cakes and forks, and the forks...eat the cakes. idk if its literally or figuratively. and like in an omegaverse cakes give off an extremely alluring scent to forks and the forks cant resist them or smth. there are also normal people (non-cakes or forks) like in an omegaverse. it sounds weird to me
I think it's more popular than I first thought. I actually saw a manga in the bookstore that is cake verse and I was so surprised. The only other verse I've seen with physical copies were omegaverse. I think it was this one https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/shitasaki_kara_koi/
Is jinx actually good or just over hyped? I’ve lowkey avoided it because I thought it might just be overhyped because of who the author is but now I’m in a reading slump and need something good to read.
Overhyped. You'll waste less time reading this https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kaze_no_chinkorou/
It is overhyped. Tbh there are a lot of underrated (in L*zhin US) bl manhwa that deserves jinx popularity but international and korean readers prefer not well written stories over stories with a well written plot, characters and storyline.

For those who are open about reading manhwa, how did you go about telling others? Idk but it feels almost embarrassing? But like I know it shouldn’t be and isn’t but I can’t help it. ESPECIALLY Because I also read BL too, not exclusively but still, like that just puts it on a whole other level. Like how am I gonna keep this to myself for the rest of my life. Especially if I get a boyfriend…. Like I haven't even mentioned anything to my childhood best friend of 11 years. Not even my parents know. It’s not like I don’t wanna tell anyone it’s just I don’t know how and I don’t want them to perceive me differently.
don’t you think you’re overthinking it? it seems like you feel guilty about it & you should ask yourself why. if you don’t want to tell others, or it just doesn’t come up, why should you? my friends know because it’s just another interest of mine, thats it, it’s not something you have to blurt out unprecedented like a confession.
Own it girl,, reading is a hobby not a secret. Reading manga or anything adjacent (manwha, manhua, etc) is a pretty common and popular pastime hobby. I understand if you’re uncomfortable telling them you read BL but you don’t have to keep it to yourself for the rest of your life. I mean like people found out I like BL cause I had my background wallpapers set to heated rivalry LMAO and surprisingly I bonded over it with some random girl classmates ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I'm an older reader who also sometimes reads BL and Danmei novels. I, too, struggled with letting people know I was an anime nerd -- I didn't discover manga until much later. Mind you, I grew-up reading DC comics and watching Marvel cartoons, but I hesitated to tell people I enjoyed anime due to its negative personification as that "JP CP" stuff. It wasn't until I was a senior in HS that I even admitted I watched Sailor Moon to my friends. But that was the first step into breaking out of the fear and silence as they accepted me. My first year in college, I decided to put it all on the line, and be upfront about the things I liked and I ended up joining like-minded clubs and making like-mined friends. I feared I wouldn't be accepted in HS, but my biggest fear was I couldn't accept myself for liking what I liked. I had to confront that part of me. Friends are not always going to have everything in common, but true friends will still accept you for who you are and accept this as another aspect of you. Trust your friends!! Be open and true to yourself!! Take small steps, admit to reading manhwa, but keep the BL to yourself until you feel more confident that your friends and family don't treat you any differently.
As for my family, they knew about the anime, as I spent half of my paycheck when I was in HS buying anime. And through a good friend of mine (met online through fan fiction) I discovered manga. I was already a huge bibliophile, so, again, my family accepted that part of me when I started buying those too. ^_^ As for the BL part of this fandom, I only have one family member who is slightly unaware of it, but since I have my own place now, I don't hide it from them when they come over, unless it has an explicit cover. (●’◡’●)
Also don't believe that BS that once you grow up you should put away your childhood toys and likes!! My home is decorated with anime and cartoon plushies, anime/cartoon figures, manga, comics, and regular novels laying all around. Giving up the things you enjoy just turns you into a bitter adult!!
So my irl friends who also read BL.. when I first met them. They first got to know tht I watch anime... Some of my Asian fujo friends they kinda showed me few of their BL reads (Not Yaoi). Then I asked them do you know the term fujoshi. And from there we both started freaking out after realising we both are fujos.. with other buddies i usually talk about cultivation manhwas webtoon etc.... When I was showing my to read list. They saw a BL comic and asked me abt it. Then I told them that I also read them lol.. My guy friends who are into action manhwas.. I shamelessly told them about the existence of BL. Anyways try to feel out the person and then slowly reveal... Example U can ask about some shounen ai mangas...then step up the game by subtly mentioning some famous yaois.
Also I get why Ur feeling hesitant... Cuz yea earlier even anime used to be like weird thing. But I think ppl have started to become open and accepting... Plus it's us gaining the courage to go out of our way to ask.. I guarantee U, once U find one person who also reads BL... It's gonna get easy to spot fujoshis
Any GL recommendations similar to the characters in “How to survive the rainy season”? https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/how_to_survive_the_rainy_season/
