"what did you expecttt this is a DARK manhwa" and aforementioned dark and bad things only happen to the uke tch. The uke could go on a public toilet and get chlamydia from the toilet seat and lose all his money to his father's brother's sisters daughters uncle debt and the whole penis cast want to stick their cock in his unwilling asshole. That ain't dark Romance brUH. I want half of these miserable ass things to happen to the seme
I would say that it's not even reversing or inverting misogyny when people pull the "dark romance" bs in bl. it's all the same ideology and power structure. also, I'm very much including the straight "dark romances" in my initial reply, because people like to act like getting off to a fantasy featuring standard patriarchal dynamic of power and sexual terrorism, control, and submission #834748 but written by a woman to an audience of women who are into that is this awesome subversion of patriarchal ideology. sure, it flies against notions of sexually pure and chaste women to be openly and actively indulging in intense and even violent sexual narratives, but it's not a challenge to patriarchal ideology in the end to uncritically create and consume them, just because people (the subjugated) are opting into it. that's the source of my complaint and frustrations with that talking point. regardless of the genders involved, so it's "standard" for dark romance to be all about one party leveraging power and violence to dominate and exploit another party and making that integral to the emotional dynamic between them. what about challenging the notions beneath that dynamic? what about switching things up? shaking the table? what about imagining different ways of engaging with sex and power?
Wanna read a work where bad things happen to the seme instead of the uke plsnpls

The only one I could think of
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/checkmate_1/ Eunsung (the top) has a rich old man, who’s the antagonist of the story, completely creepily obsessed with him. And Soohyun (our badass bottom) handles that dude so well because he wants to be the only one who gets to crush Eunsung (he switches careers for this shit)
Does being a top means signing a form that says that u have to outdo and outclass the uke in everything they do even the uke is some big bad mafia and the top is just some store cashier or sumth pls someone recc me something where this doesn't happen. Especially the mafia x assasin trope PISSES me off because assasin uke SHOULD be cooler and stronger and better than fighting than any mafia dude. Or sportsman uke but the top is somehow better. Or if they are academic rivals, you BET 99% of times the top scorer dude is the seme and uke is second best and sooo jealous. We've all seen these tropes atleast once.
More like this: if they both play a sport but somehow the uke had debt/injury stopped playing and top ended up going forward and succeeding. It's sooooo annoying
Gosh I'm so jealous of people with a basic common tastes like rich seme poor uke or are capable of enjoying the 2847th runaway pregnant omega trope without being bored or even like the typical big strong seme x fiesty but smaller uke trope. I get why it's popular but it never appeals to me even though it's like majority and that makes me mad like why can't I like it too jeez.
I've seen aromantic bottoms, but I'm yet to see an aromatic top ngl
