clinically depressed and possibly autistic fujo tries therapy and finds yaoi to be more effective [shocking]

- love triangles = i kill myself
- unrequited love is okay as long as it's either the MC or ML experiencing it, not a third party towards either MC or ML
- i don't have a favorite seme/uke dynamic or trope. anything works as long as they have chemistry and good writing. i will eat up anything.
(i lied. enemies/rivals to lovers is my guilty pleasure.)
- vers / switch couple = peak
- #1 victim of 2nd male lead syndrome and rarepair shipping
- I believe in redemption arcs actually
- Moscareto and Samk #1 fan
- a total gooner for pretty and adorable bottoms...
- as much as possible i try not to read ongoing BLs 'cause if that thing gets dropped by the author halfway through, the only ending we'll be getting is me ENDING MY LIFE (i'm looking at you, author of "The CEO is an Idol Stan")
- unpopular opinion: we need more SEME PROTAGONISTS!!!!!
fav settings/genres in order of preference:
1) slice of life (adult)
2) slice of life (college and high school)
3) modern supernatural/fantasy
4) historical supernatural/fantasy
5) sci-fi
6) historical
7) high fantasy
8) crime, mystery, thriller
favorite microgenres, ranked:
1) transmigration / rebirth / time travel / body swap
2) school life
3) omegaverse (in dire need of AxA, AxB, BxO, and Omega semes)
4) gaymers
5) showbiz / celebrity
i'm open to any trope presented to me. my preferences are as diverse as the colors of the rainbows BABYYY (of course, given that the writing can deliver.)

Yes yes!! These were the kinds I used to read during the covid era... but oh my god, how the times have changed.. sometimes I find it recognise who I was with the kind of things I read now
