Like literally so many different manwhas where there is no love in the relationship or the top/ML (sometimes the bottom) treats the other horrendously and doesn’t even redeem themselves or barely does.
I’m gonna be stepping on some toes but Codename anastasia, passion, the new pearl boy, some novels like run away if you can. Like almost everything I’ve read, complete and incomplete tbf, the relationship has like no actual love in it to me and the ML doesn’t even suffer for what they did or at least not in a substantial way.
Like tell me why you can abuse this person, rape them (and in a pure sadistic way mind you), manipulate them, be rude, sleep around, but in the end y’all get together after you just say sorry once or not even sorry sometimes. And then all these other horrible manwhas that are just straight torture, like Barge In and Reverse Thinking. I mean I do agree with don’t like don’t read and all that but I still wanna complain about all this I’m ngl.
It just pisses me off.
You're so right!
It’s dark romance, idk what you were expecting going in? Did you seriously not hear about them beforehand, or even read comments / summery?
I understand reading one and going :0 but you’re naming some of most popular dark romances and are pissed off because they have dark themes?
It’s funny coincidence that you read stuff you don’t like so often and then proceed to rant that you hate it on website where they are all consistently in popular section lol, gutsy, I’ll give you that. Though I don’t really care about any hate on them, I do gotta say that your criticism on them is pretty shallow because it comes down to preference / pov of the reader. You don’t feel their love. Doesnt mean it’s not there in eyes of author or the readers.
Me personally, I’ve only partially read Anastasia and didn’t try the other ones, and thats on making your own reading list with stuff you KNOW you enjoy.
Cus the whole “don’t like, don’t read” should be practiced not just preached.
Okay? But I can still complain? I’m not harassing readers or the authors. I do read stuff like this a lot, mostly with the hope that it won’t end up like most stories seem to. I’m fine with dark themes it’s how it’s handled and the ending that upsets me most of the time. I’ve read manwha where the ML was utter trash and then DID change and redeem themselves or at least say sorry and truly love the mc in the end.
It’s so funny when people say this though, as if art isn’t meant to be discussed and also talk about what is in a movie/how it was handled. Everybody has an opinion amd shares it on every single thing all the time but for some reason BL manwha readers suddenly hate opinions being shared when it comes to their dark yaoi.
Sure, maybe my opinion is shallow but there’s literally nothing wrong with me saying I interpreted it that way as well as the author making it that way.
And you say don’t like don’t read should be practiced and seem (key word is seem) to be upset that I made this post, yet doing the same thing as me by reading this and commenting lmao. You sitting here replying to my post and saying what you don’t like about it or anything you think at all is literally the same thing as me or anybody else sharing their opinion on a manwha, and yes sure maybe my interpretation of no love is different form other readers and the authors but idk man l think my interpretation of somebody raping and abusing someone then not even saying sorry doesn’t seem very romantic and like they actually love them.
Thank you
I have a list of my favourite couples with healthier dynamics
There is no r*pe, violence or cheating between main characters. Nothing unforgivable in general

That's so funny. I literally had to clock someone on that too. Like, we can't say any opinions about people being horrible in a comic, but you can tell us off because you have an opinion about an opinion?? I also read about a-holes and it incites me to discuss about it because I'm engaged, I'm feeling what you're putting down
Pearl boy makes me uncomfortable
Literally 90% of manhwas im crine
I haven't read any of the stories you cited precisely because I know they're mostly slop. I think you should definitely spend less time reading stories that give you no value in return on time invested. These days not very good stories are getting dropped, but personally I'd rather go on a drought not having read any good stories than pick up slops just to fill in time ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Y’know what, you’re right. Idk why I torture myself like this. I just always hope it’ll get better but it doesn’t
like you said, it's all in the handling. and so many (most?) creations in this category drop the ball HARD. people want to act like those stories get flack just because they're "dark" and the people who take issue with them are just sensitive puritans who can't handle hardcore themes and topics when a good chunk of the criticism they get is aimed at how shallow, flippant, and often poorly written and developed those stories are. acting like it's deep or impactful just because it's violent and brutal. is that all there is to honesty? what's with the sugarcoating all the abusive behavior by suddenly making it into a lovey-dovey functional relationship between abuser and victim just because there's a sob story for the abuser? can't even make it halfway convincing with a proper reflection and working-on-themselves arc for those abusers. just "chasing" and "it's all okay because now the abuser is affectionate towards their victim!!!". so many of those glossed-over abuse relationships are doomed if their creators were honest because they never actually address or resolve the abusive character's abusive behavior or their root causes. victims just magically get over their trauma, and so on. why not get into the dysfunctional relationships that would likely end in tragedy if they kept going? yeah, yeah, escapist idealized dark romantic fantasies or whatever. it's still unsatisfying in my book. even though a lot of those stories are some kind of "I can fix him (with love!" stories, they hardly ever/never dig deep into that either.
I'm deeply irked by the whole thing because sometimes there's potential in exploring mindsets and attitudes towards love, obsession, and intimacy, but because these creators don't want to do any research or something (idk), it's just shallow depictions of eroticized rape and violence a million times over. there are other conflicts! there are other ways to include sex scenes! I wouldn't be so irritated if these stories weren't so shallow and formulaic for the cheap thrill of it all! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

We gotta clock them together sometime
5’4/5’5 and I weight 112/113lb. I’m considered low weight but don’t look it My stomach looks super round and bloated alll the time, so idt it’s being “bloated”. When I press it it’s squishy too and it’s kind of like a separate part or my abdomen protrudes…idk how to explain it. Anyways, my stomach protrudes in the front and sideways. Idk what to do to fix it….
Are you a woman? That’s normal, nearly every woman has it. If they don’t, it would raise concerns
Ain't those your organs protuding? Even more normal if you're a woman.
And I mean, I would remove some of them if I could, but you just can't salad-exercise-diet them out.
Unfortunately.
I an a woman but it doesn’t look like a normal bump, like the ones you should see/regularly see. It’s like a pouch and it goes from the top of my abdomen all the way down to my pelvis.
They were working fine a couple hours ago but now lilyonthevalley has a 1016 error!? Cloudfare error 1016. I checked on the web for the site and then it said the administrator has blocked the site or something. Is this happening to anyone else? Wth does this mean
Yap session incoming. Okay, so, I have Gilbert’s syndrome and this causes me to look yellowish sometimes, like Jaundice (not quite as bad)
My mom said I look Jaundiced today and I replied sarcastically that I just love looking yellow, and my mom said “Well, you’re yellow like Asians. You’re always trying to be Asian.” And I was taken aback, but honestly not surprised she said that. I was like, “I’m not trying or wanting to be Asian, I just like a lot of Asian foods and Asian culture” and she replied “I was just trying to help you live your dream!” And she said it in a funny way ig idk, like a joke. But I feel like she actually thinks I’m trying to be Asian because of all the Asian stuff I’m into . And the fact that I mostly eat/like East Asian foods and recipes (Indian, Thai, and Chinese/Japanese food tastes the best to me)
Anyways, now I feel weird because I’m thinking of weird Koreaboos and people who try to “become” a different race.
I like a lot of East Asian culture, and I find East Asian culture the most interesting. I like anime, manwha/manga, East Asian foods, KPOP/CPOP/TPOP etc. and Jdrama/Kdrama/Cdrama. I do talk about Asian culture to my mom sometimes, like laws, stories, social differences, etc. And I studied Mandarin with a Chinese teacher for two years.
Now, I’m worried that I’m being weird?? Or others see it as me being a weirdo? Does it seem strange? I don’t think I’m Asian of course, like *cough* some people (Oli London) and I wouldn’t say I’m TRYING to be Asian, other than maybe wanting to live in a different country one day and experience the culture more.
Nah not weird, as someone who bow to people because of school habit, and sometimes eat with chopstick to eat less I have suffer this thing too by my brother. Of course it's a joke by them and I don't really care cause I find their culture beautiful plus chopstick are used by many and it does help me eat less abit so yeah you're not weird you're just passionate in learning the culture you love especially learning diff language and their culture deeply
GUYS i need help. My hair used to be really light, fluffy, voluminous and even a lighter color but I’m dealing with such bad buildup that it’s the complete opposite of that Even worse, nothing I’ve tried is getting rid of it!! Closest I’ve come to it getting better is when I did a baking soda and castor/rosemary oil exfoliation but it only worked for one day and immediately went back to before.
I’ve used my regular clarifying shampoo that used to clean my hair pretty well but hasn’t fixed it. (Paul Mitchell shampoo 2) I’ve also tried shampooing twice. Apple cider vinegar rinses. Other DIY exfoliations. Rn I’m too broke for a chelating shampoo or glycolic/salicylic exfoliator and scalp scrubs. I might try some when I get some more money.. I also don’t wanna buy a bunch of clarifying shampoos or whatever and find that none work.
If anyone has any products or tips pleaseee help me.
I have low porosity, thick, slightly wavy hair.
Also, I think the buildup occurred from me using dry shampoo too often and a new shampoo I started using a year ago to help for when my clarifying shampoo became too drying. I also do have hard water, but I’ve had hard water for 5 years and it never caused buildup like this as far as I know.
If you can, try a quick reset wash with a lil dish soap (just once!) and super warm water to lift the residue, then follow with a light conditioner just on your ends. You can also dissolve a pinch of citric acid or lemon juice in water as a DIY chelating rinse until you can grab a real one! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I hope it's a phase for your hair otherwise if you are a teenager you might be stuck with this new scalp (because of hormone change, people start to have scalp issues at this age)
I have the same type of hair as you (low porosity, thick, slightly wavy hair) and when I was around 14-15 I started to have buildup and it never left ╥﹏╥ I tried the common solutions and it didn't work (nizoral shampoo, etc) but not the more expensive stuff like multiple appointments with a dermatologist (during the first they usually recommend the same common solutions)
I don't think dry shampoo is the cause unless you use it every other day and mind you regular shampoo is able to remove that kind of residue
But to lighten the mood a little, nearly one in two people have dandruffs or scalp issues. So it's actually pretty common
Wanna cry bc I’ve noticed my memory has become so so bad and my ability to spell, speak, and knowledge of grammar as a whole has severely depleted. I forget the meanings and spellings of basic/common words all the time, can’t remember any names if anyone or anything anymore, things I did today/the day before, etc. My brain is just overall trash rn
It's best you consult to a psychologist when you can, I'm not entirely sure why this would happen or how since you are a stranger and I do not know your personal life, nor am I a professional in any. So I obv wouldnt be able to give you any strong advice. And I dont want to state the obvious with common advice like walking to somewhere like a park, or journaling what you saw or did today
I wish you good health in the future and wish your memory gets better as well stranger, or kim dokjas thighs lol
Thanks! I don’t have insurance though, unfortunately. I think maybe the problem is being on electronics wayyy too much and not socializing much. I just hope it’s reversible
I’ve been thinking about this a lot here lately. I know for the longest time I never knew real people were used for video games/most video games and thought the character’s faces were made up unless it was someone I could definitely recognize lmao. But using face models is very popular now. But to me, many times the video game character still seems/looks different from the face model so I just always see them as two different people completely unless it’s a situation with graphics like Death Stranding. Other than that most of the time I don’t see the face model as the same as the character, even physically.
I also have been thinking about this because I learned Leon Kennedy’s face model hates being associated with Leon Kennedy now bc so many fans started flooding his posts and talking about Leon Kennedy and sexualizing him. Like, Leon’s face model is handsome and kind if resembles Leon but they look very different. And why go for him when you have Leon himself??? And I saw an old Reddit post about the face model and voice actor for Connor from Detroit: Become Human. They said seeing sexual art of Connor made them feel gross because Connor is an actual person. Or people comparing Trish’s face model to her in game design for DMC and saying the model is prettier than Trish, etc.
So, idk I’ve just been thinking about it. Is the video game character and the model the same? Does sexualizing the character = sexualizing the actor? Do you guys view them as two separate entities?
Personally, I do view the characters and their actors as separate entities, because they are, after all. They only share the same face and maybe a few other aspects, but in the end, they are different and exist in different spaces/ universes. I think this is the healthy way to think about it and people should absolutely not harass the actors for simply doing their job. But oh well...it's unfortunately something inevitable and actors will have to deal with such people too. It's also understandable that some would take ofense and be bothered by people sexualizing their characters, especially if they grew attached to them and came to identify as them to a point and if people harass them because of a role they once played. But the internet will always do its thing and it can't be stopped. For thr most part, I think sexualizing characters is fine (depending on the context and as long as it's nothing too problematic). They do not exist and can't be hurt. Franchises earn a lot from the gooners' pockets too. But when it extends to their actors, which are real people with feelings and conscience, it's bad. All they did was do their job well. It's not their fault some people didn't fully develop their frontal lobe.
THE BEST FUCKING BODY TYPE RAHHH. Fat ass and fat thighs with some wide hips, it’s beautiful. Dokja with pear body shape…mmmmm. Kim Dan with pear body shape….yummy. Haemin with his breeding hips. Gimme that. I’m telling you, pear shaped body type is the absolute best when it comes to twinks.
In almost every BL, the top likes fucking the bottom while someone is watching. Or doesn’t gaf. Even if they’re incredibly possessive and wouldn’t want their lover flirting, cheating, someone else liking them, etc. Which kinda makes no sense bc how can some of them be so jealous and not want some other person liking their partner but also enjoy doing the boombayah with a crowd of people watching Anyways, I find it very interesting that almost all of them have some sort of exhibitionist kink
its totally some kind of ownership thing LOL. you're def right, it's partly an exhibitionist kink but you also mentioned possessive tops... possessive tops want to show the world who belongs to them so i guess that means having sex in front of people??? "his butt is mine and only mine" or whatever...
bro what are YOU reading???i rarely see stuff like that ???
I think its kind of like an ownership thing like the other person said. Like you can look but you cant touch or some shit i agree tho, what the hell are you reading LMAO
I have an iPhone, and I can’t find any apps to download manwha chapters from sites to my phone for me to read them offline. Does anyone know how to do that?
I don’t have apps but honestly I just download the images (long hold, save image) and stick them into my cloud files. Takes a bit but I don’t mind that personally, maybe that might just be me
Yeah but it takes time, storage, and it’s not like put together so I’d have to swipe through the photos. I’d prefer a quicker option where it’s literally taking the whole thing and just downloading it? Idk if there’s a way to do it on iPhone though :(
I tried downloading a chapter via iBooks and it works. But the panels are cut since it became pdf file. I did it in Safari browser.
Use Tachimanga. Add Keiyoushi repo then choose whatever website extension and the series page should let you download chapters from there but you'll have to read it on the app
