Today I found out author of Until I Meet My Husband, you know the infamous story about gay author who wrote a BL based on his life experiences up until he met his husband....yeah, come to find out they had a messy divorce and there was allegations he CHEATED. This was 5 years ago old news but I just found out today. I'm late af but who cares! Love is dead
Anyone want to share their thoughts and opinions on Author ZIG and their 'Kiss- if you can' series stories? Are they all related? Which ones to read, which ones to just ignore? The good, the bad?
—Eat Me Up If You Can (Grandfather Dominic's generation)*
—Lick Me Up If You Can (Father Ashley's generation)*
—Kiss Me, Liar (Keith - Grayson's friend)
—Kiss Me If You Can (Chase )
—Run Away If You Can (Nathaniel - Chase and Grayson's brother)*
—Desire Me If You Can (Grayson)
"*" Means haven't released here
I think they all look interesting and need to read all series to understand all story since theyre all related.. but if i were to re-read all of them i would skip "kiss me, liar" Keith's story .. it was interesting at first (for me) but if you keep reading it you will start to hate all characters lol
Chase and grayson story are my fav. (Based on what ive read so far)
I like how chase are cute and changing because of love (ahh the power of love are just magnificent isn't it?)
About Grayson's story.. all i can say is Go suffer more u damn lunatic,. And show more Dane body pls (つ✧ω✧)つ
I'm watching The Prosecutor's Proposal and also finished the novel. It's a hate to love relationship with possessive and obsessive top and a smart but timid bottom. They have no sexual assault or abuse between them, just pure tension and desire. Top is a sadist and bottom enjoys a little pain.
Is there any BL rec with similar dynamic?
I like it when there's possessive and obsessiveness but no assault. Is that even possible in this day and age?(/TДT)/
Anyone notice the bolded '1. Use english' Rule that's been added to the list of rules to follow prior to posting on the homepage ?? Lol was it always there? Or when did they add that and why? Does people actually post so much in another language to warrant that added rule? I barely see anything except English anyway, what an odd rule
I personally think Yeowoon from guildmade next door is a good presentation of a power bottom. I don't know if that's because I like #bottomjigupropaganda or what, but I think a power bottom doesn't necessarily have to be big and bulky or super mean and hardened. A lot of these power bottoms are just previous aggresive tops who got coerced into bottoming and the new top is even bigger than them, or they're not really power bottoms, they're just bigger and bulker than the top. Yeowoon is kind and sweet, he's also average male size (compared to Jigu), but he takes control of the situation. Jigu melts under his touch. I really like it.
Who do you think is a good representation of a power bottom? and
do you guys have any rec with a similar power bottom? Thank you!
For me, power bottoms don’t necessarily have to be big and bulky either. I love a power bottom that knows what he wants, takes control of his own life, while having the seme wrapped around his finger. I haven’t read guildmate next door but the uke from https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/incidentally_dyed_by_spring_s_love/ was refreshing for me to see ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
i like the bottoms in these a lot

My takes of powerbottom that have displayed strong control, grace, and character:
Fullmoon alchemist
Darkness before the dawn
Kingsmaker
I can see your stat
Kiss me if you can
Park hanhoo’s manager
An unsettling scent
Here you are
Cover up
Dyed by summer’s love (mc uke have displayed such grace amidst tumultuous environments)

Hate when people recommend a "sad" story that I'm thinking will have the loss of and grieving for loved ones, self harm, mental health issues related, etc, idk, something more complex and layered with nuance, but it's just a rape slop story where the character gets tortured from beginning to end. Like boohoo it's so sad he's getting gangraped left and right, I'm not sad, I'm pissed the author thought this was content worth drawing in detail for every panel every chapter.
Rape slop stories don't count as "sad" stories because it's clearly fetish content. We've lost the damn plot.
Marring man omggg who said that
Couldn’t agree more. I asked for a sad manhwa with self harm representation, and while it technically had that, it was shallow and leaned on tired stereotypes about SH victims instead of any real depth. Then I asked for psychological recs and got handed straight up rape fetish content instead. Psychological & angst ≠ rape
and I have no clue what that story is, good for me (▰˘◡˘▰)
the bar is dropping too low these days people feel confident recommending rape slop fetish content as anything but rape slop fetish content ( ̄ε(# ̄)Σ
