Are readers nowadays too woke? I've been around since the god-awful yaoi proportions and honestly I couldn't care less on what type of them a BL is. Incest, rape, large age gap etc idc I read if it's good and interesting (and if I can stomach it lol) since it's fiction and it doesn't reflect on me as a person. I see most people saying "oh you read this and that you must be like that as well or you like that stuff" and I just go ???? Idk just my cent and genuinely curious on what others say on this matter as well.
New gen readers are obsessed with shoving morality down your throat over fiction these days, its worse cuz a majority of them usually end up being minors who shouldn't be in certain spaces that are ment for adults in the firet place. I fear we've lost the plot of "don't like don't read" and "fiction is supposed to stay fiction". It's the same argument we had in the past about peoppe watching crime so they must wnat to commit crimes and video games make people violent, unfortunately theres always gonna be people that can't separate fiction from reality.
I think being so clenched over stranger's thoughts and opinions that don't align with yours over fiction should be considered a form of mental illness cause like who gaf genuinely. Just dislike and scroll away from those comments lmao.
(Not aimed specifically at you btw OP I'm just talking in general about people who always complain about this issue everywhere on this fricking site because I'm annoyed with both sides).
I remember the uke being helpless or depressed and he lives with seme. IIRC uke went out for a bit but he had a panic attack and it worsened bec he couldn't get inside the condo, he didn't know the code. He called seme and seme used numbers in a sentence to also calm uke. That's all I can remember aaaa
I feel like crying today and depressive/suicidal bottoms hit home for me. Where you know, bottom's just wanting to end it all and top's just there for them genuinely and is a actually understanding them.
i think you'll like this one. hits close to home.. but it doesn't have any sexy scene tho (and yes it's from mrm).

I neeeeed sweet nothings BL rn. Preferably completed hidden gems. I've already read the general/popular fluff one such as Unsleep, Sunny Days, Protect your purity and etc.
I would recommend this:
Yang Il-woo and I
Define The Relationship
It's Just a Dream...Right?!
The Art of Taming A Tiger
Puppy Love
Plin's Love Juice
These two aren't hidden gems and you might already read them, but I recommend anyways
Robber x Lover
