Random ass nobodies with no legitimate reason to hold a grudge coming in and starting trouble, rapists repeatedly attacking their victims until they apparently "want" it, people keeping dumb ass irrelevant secrets from their partner to not "burden" them which ends up causing more problems and ruining relationships that were actually good... Like i get it, conflicts that need resolving helps push the narrative forward or whatever, but the stuff happening in some of these titles right now is just utter bullshit
Welp they're common tropes in trashy bl and josei so we have to dig deeper for the good ones unfortunately. The majority of the ones that use those tropes are shallowly written with no complexity so I tend to dnf them since the chances of it being a quality read are abysmal.
I think once I stumbled upon good ones like Love Sick Dog and Our Sunny Days, I just can't gloss over and ignore trashy tropes for the sake of the read anymore. If you got any good recs please lmk
Okaay so u might've asked the wrong person because i am fond of some toxic angst but I'll try my best:

Sorry for the subpar descriptors lol I'm half asleep
fr girl im so tired,,
Please name your BL faves!! We're looking for healthy relationships here, even if they're complex with some redemption archs. Second chances are welcome, but for the love of consent, please DO NOT put a trashy rapist on here.
There's this R15 BL about a mid 20s loan shark and a homeless high school vampire half blood. They lose touch and reconnect after the vamp does his military service. My lists got deleted or something and i can't remember the name of it. Anybody know?
I’m not sure but is it “A Lovely Meal” ?
