Question regarding the shounen ai vs. yaoi tags
From my understanding, shounen ai is when there is no smut or explicit sexual scenes, correct? Is there a reason some BL, that also has 0 explicit scenes isn’t tagged as shounen ai? (By both mangago AND user tags?) or inform me better of what truly makes something shounen ai or not
a lot of stories are mislabeled on here so sometimes its that, to add stories on here you have to send it to the devs with all the info, is not that reliable
Other times the stories change genre (it starts as shonen ai but future seasons/volumes are yaoi) and may be either previously tagged as yaoi even tho theres no smut or it kept the shonen ai tag even after the story turned +18
I need a heart wrenching BL where a character yearns for another character but can never have them.
Idc if it’s a love triangle or if they can’t be together because of society, class, etc. PLEASE not recs for something where the character is just a little sad about it, or where this heartbreak is only like a panel/scene long. Something where you yourself feel how painful it is for them. Thanksss
Favorite smutty BL recs please and thanksss
