I Don't Really Know September 17, 2019 11:54 am

I don't have high hopes for this, I basically read it just because I'm bored and my favorite bl mangas don't have new chapters.

For me the story seems pretty predictable, I read in the comments that people think that the main characters need therapy. I think nobody would go to a therapist in the story, because its BL.

Idk I have a very pessimistic point of view on this.

By the title, you can understand that I'm disappointed. I really liked Hyung in Never Understand, he was such a cool character. He was so loyal to his childhood friend and he wasn't cold-hearted, he liked Jaerim.

I liked Hyung because without his background story you could at least understand him, which is rare for those kinds of characters. I liked him, even more, when he hadn't left his childhood friend behind but took her even tough he knows that she is not a good person.

But in this manga, the author took it all and put it in the garbage. Now we have a rapist who is also a virgin, who falls in love with a guy who he knew like... a week or so? Oh, yeah and now he's apparently super emotional.

Look, I'm not saying that a character cant change, of course, he can! If a character changes that means that the character learns and becomes better. But come on, Hyung Completly acts like a different character! All he's morals and ideologies were changed in one day because a guy that he met.

And it would've been okay if they ended in chapter five. But no, also after chapter five the uke Completly changes his personality.

Anyway, this manga was made just so Hyung would have a couple, what could I expect.

    i dont know what the fuck youre going on about but i def like this hyung better than when he was in never understand ( ̄へ ̄)i mean his childhood friend was a literal sewer rat who sucked the life out of him just by being next to him i mean she used him like a fucking ragdoll making him do everything for her, getting beat up and beating up ppl for her when she didnt even love him while he was head over heels for her and you say that was better? got me fucked up my dude and also his commitment to her was so great that he even assualted another guy and almost became a rapist even tho he was a virgin. i literally cannot see how you like that hyung better when it was obvious he was suffering every day until he met woori like yeah maybe it was all a little fast paced but im guessing the author just made this as a short spinoff not an actual long-running series sooo idk my dude i respect your opinion but i cant say i understand it ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

    I'm not going to be as harsh but Hyung doesn't owe his "childhood friend" anything, he did the right thing and dropped her toxic ass, she's not a kid anymore and should have learned her lesson about getting into trouble.

    As for his personality change, its been a awhile (2 YEARS) since Never Understand updated so the author probably forgot some details and decided to add more to his character. Last thing, you make it sound like its impossible to fall in love in a week.

I'm really curious how you guys critic manga, especially BL manga. BL manga is a whole other topic, it has a lot of stupid stereotypes and cliche stories.

I critic BL manga like this:

If it has sex in the first chapter - the plot would be bad, cliche and mostly pathetic. I'm not saying that all the mangas are like this, but most are.

Also, many people don't notice the problems or the unoriginality in BL manga because "UwU its so soft and cute UwU".

So how you decide if a manga is good or bad?

    Flaming Uterus September 2, 2019 1:54 pm

    I read almost all type of yaoi, but... I like the ones with a logical relationship growth pace (makes me cringe when in two days they fall in love and shit, I don't mean about when sex occurs, that I don't care because one night stands are a thing), good body proportions and how they resolve their problems. I hate when they make a fucking drama from a stupid misundertanding. When I find a couple who actually acts adultlike is a fucking bless.

    yoru September 2, 2019 2:01 pm

    I just read any bl except if the first chapter is from a seme pov. It varies from genre but the main thing is that as long as the story manage to make my heart goes in pain (like you know, pain reading angsty stuff), then i know it's a good enough story.

    Mpompina September 2, 2019 2:13 pm

    The first thing I want is the art to be good if I don't like the art I don't read it, then I look at the dialogues if the translation is bad I don't read it even if I like the story and the characters, I also don't like it when there is too much dialogues... I read everything except the supernatural and brother x brother ones

    I tend to never read the summaries bc they’re usually off or cringy at times. Once I get a chance to read the manga itself, I check to see the setting (high school? college? workplace? all?). After reading a bunch of manga stereotypes, you get the gist of what would likely happen in that certain environment. In a school setting, I really get tired of teacher uke stereotypes. The student falls in love & does something to pester the teacher then the teacher miraculously falls in love too. OR the childhood friend confesses or rapes the uke etc. A workplace setting would be like the new coworker transferred to the uke’s department, turns out they knew each other blah blah. But don’t get me wrong. I really love these stereotypes as well. It’s just that there are mangakas who have just went beyond the stereotypes and created something unexpected that makes you speechless. One of my all-time favorites are in the categories of these stereotypes. Anything that gives you that angsty, heart-clenching feel is usually the best. But whatever that aren’t these settings are usually gold too. Here are some that I think have good stereotypes or unexpecting storylines:

    It depends. Really. One stereotype in one langa will make me go uwu while this same stereotype in another manga will make me go "meh".
    Hard to explain huh. But usually, if there's blackmail/rape in the first chapter, I drop it. Not because of the trope in itself. After all, I do read and enjoy some of those stories when the rest is well written or the plot is focused on something else rather than the romance. Just that as I always say "there's like 100 mangas out there with the same plot but some have better art". Yeah. If the plot already goes in a bad direction, the least is to enjoy the art no ? No... Okay.
    Second, when there's a sequel. Most of the time, it goes to the never ending gay world where straight people become a myth. Gay everywhere, anywhere, from right to left, to the daddy until the unrelated uncle. Unless it's set where they all met up in a gay bar or something like this, I end up finding it boring. All the more if it's a sequel to the father's love story (yeah, I just so love this sibgle daddy cliché) and then you get the son's story. Like WHY ?
    Still. If it's your usual 5chapters story, I can put up with it. It becomes an issue with long ass manhwas over 100 chapters where most of the time, the slice of life/ school life means "never ending drama life". The drama repeats over and over and over and over until it doesn't make sense nor plot anymore.
    To those, while reading, I do cringe from some cliché things. But if the plot in itself is interesting, I won't make a big deal out of it.
    All of those give me some standards rating:
    1 star for reeeeeally shitty annoying stories (when you can't even finish the first chapter).
    2 when it's bad but I could put up with it for some time before dropping it.
    3 when it's okay, but the art is meh.
    4 when the story is okay and the art great. Or when the plot is great but the art is not.
    5 when it's a gem. (a personnal word of course.)

So, I have many things that disturb nor disgust me, and if I would make a list it would have no end.

So lately I noticed the thing in BL manga, in which the top jerks off when the bottom is close to him and sleeps. When I just saw this for the first time it was... okay. I just thought that it's not that important or something and basically ignored it. but now I'm thinking that it's so disgusting.

So this is just a thought I had, what disturbs nor disgust you?

    Who am I? August 2, 2019 1:18 pm

    im a pleasable person so i dont think anything grosses me out but there is one thing that i am but a bit neutral with: calling some dude’s asshole a pussy hole. i can see the appeal of it but really turns me off. overall treat an asshole like an asshole ᕕ( ᐕ )ᕗ
