Sex scene was really disappointing honestly. Ive really begun to hate sex scenes in Korean BLs because they are either noncon or the bottom/uke is constantly saying no, stop, wait, it's too much. It's like Korean writers are scared to show a uke who is actuly really into it and wants it. You've shown him basically begging for sex for chapters on end but now that he's having it it's no, stop, I don't like this, wait. These BL writers sure know how to write the stalest sex scenes.
For real!
I totally agree. I’m always excited to read until I see the bottom screaming this bullshit like, STOP PLEASE, WAIT, I DON’T WANT THIS. And it completely turns me off. It always feels like a rape scene. They can just call each other’s names and moan, we don’t need all this bullshit.
seems old-fashioned from the times where enjoying sex for women was treated like a real sin and the only thing to break it to allow pleasure in fiction is expressing not liking it and feeling forced to have pleasure. japanese stories seem to grow out of it, korean ones are kinda still there.
I totally agree with you in almost all of manhwas both yaoi and hetero the consent is loose or not existing entirely and the male leads do not listen are not gentle, are not careful, but there is one more thing that is standing out to me in some manhwas, the expressionless faces or almost expression less faces, it feels cold and with no emotion, no love, no excitement, no nothing, also the approach to sex the initiation to it is kinda bland idk, these male leads have no game. That is why I didn't like the whole sex that is portrayed, all of it.
Yeah I was gonna write that on my comment but had to go do something. Koreans are very prudish in general. The women are not allowed to be forward with wanting and enjoying sex you see it a lot in kdramas. Literally scenes where the woman is just laying there because if they showed her actually enthusiastically wanting sex she would be labeled a whore. Korean BL manhwa writers are transferring that to their ukes especially the ones they design to be "cute" or "virgins" or "sweet" they don't dare "corrupt" their image by showing them enjoy sex. I was pleasantly surprised when an omega verse that I planned to drop because of the uke had the uke be very enthusiastic during his first time with the seme. He was literally the cute omega type but was saying yes, don't stop, please break me. Haha an exception to the rule.
The 40th story of an alpha(who was probably bullied directly by the bottom or by the bottoms family) making a medication to alter the secondary gender of the bottom. Even though the bottom comes from a powerful family he will not use any resources to stop or get back at the top because he'll be afraid that people will find out about his gender change so he will take being raped over and over again over possibly people knowing his secret. The asshole with the omega from before will try and rape him and his rapist (the top) will come and save him and he'll think about how he isn't that bad because the rapist saved him from being raped by someone else and what more could you ever want in a romance partner? He'll get pregnant and they'll live happily ever after. And then people on this site will call it peak storytelling.
Thank you for the warning
"And then people on this site will call it peak storytelling."
We shouldn't forget about the "they are so cute," "the seme is a deeply complex character," "their relationship is complex," "the story has psychological depth" and such comments.
