Please help me find this BL.
I think it was an omegaverse.
The top is a gangster who loses his memory, the bottom is a policr officer that takes care of him. The seme thinks he is a child when he wakes up.
The seme is actually older than the uke.
He doesnt lose his memory for long. It was only a few chapters
Sorry for the spam, but I just need to get this last thing off my chest. Also I typed this in frustration if notice any grammatical errors and spelling mistskes, just bear with it please. I was not in the mood to edit and check.
I absolutely hated it and was dying of cringe when he referred to himself as “daddy” during their spicy scenes, and when he said, “I’ve molded you to fit all my preferences, and now I’m supposed to let another asshole have you?” EWWW. So creepy. Typical grooming talk.
2) Her desperation — and that’s why it’s even more frustrating that she goes back to him. I hated how she was begging him to divorce his wife. Bro, he’s going to cheat on you in 10 years when he sees another 18-year-old. Writers love using cheating as a trope to prove that a couple’s love is so strong. Notice how so many favorite love stories involve cheating:
- The Notebook
- Bridgerton S2
- Scandal
There are so many more. Dang, this story really rage-baited me. I need to calm down!
It’s so annoying when the arrogant guy wins in the end. That ego and overconfidence in believing she will never leave, and then also saying that he knows her so well and that she was lying, was so annoying. Well, she never had a backbone, so I guess we can’t be too surprised.
Because I would call the cops if my ex kept showing up at my workplace, and I would obviously call an ambulance, but then call his family member to look after him. But no, she’s too dickmatized to even think clearly.
And don’t even get me started on how the author made her have sex with Hwaik so it would seem like she’s not dickmatized, because there’s still that stigma of a woman being attached to the man who took her first time, that they form an emotional attachment.
This is why I hate couples with pre-established relationships, because I’m really confused about how she fell in love with him in the first place.
I don’t get it.
Im so curious what are the comments from the actual korean readers or on the legal websites. Did people actually like this story.
Cause I know sometimes korean and foreigner opinions can differ
One thing Im happy about is the fact that Hwaik was the one who ended things, Ive read too many love triangles where the MC rejects the 2nd ML at least this time he was like nope, Im out. Good on you sir!
I genuinely want to understand why she would make Yewon forgive that creep and take him back after everything.
I’m so sick of authors giving us a better 2nd ML just for the FL to choose the shitty ML. Like, I think most of us are tired of that repetitive plot. They always make the woman choose the toxic man who, in the end, changes for her.
I have so many questions. Like, why is rape somehow justified when it’s the ML? But when it happens to a random character, suddenly it’s taken seriously? You can’t romanticize rape under the guise of “rough sex.” It’s weird. I went back to look at some chapters because this story is so frustrating, and I needed to check before making a comment.
Like, this asshole doesn’t deserve redemption at all, especially after chapter 24. Also, notice how in chapter 14 or 15, I think, she notices his ring, but then he subtly removes it while preying on her. That is so damn creepy. It makes me wonder, if she knew he was married from the beginning, would she have still gone through with it? But then again, she stayed even after she found out, and the way the author wants us to sympathize with her and feel sorry for her... girl, bye. I have no empathy for you.
All that suffering, all that work to move on, and you still forgive him and take him back? Fainting is also so emotionally manipulative on the author’s part. Three years of toxicity, she leaves for a year, and let me guess, she’s going to forgive him within a month.
And the author trying to justify the cheating trope by making the marriage a business deal. Bruh, be so for real. If you’re going to write a taboo story, then write a taboo story. Don’t try to find excuses to justify it.
Even her losing her virginity to him was annoying because it creates this narrative that a woman is somehow forever attached to the man who took her first time. I’m so tired of the love trap.
If someone posts a comment that triggers you and you respond but they dont reply do you think
A) you got em
B) They dont actually care
Also why do people feel the need to gell you they accidentally liked or disliked a comment. Does anyone actually care?
I heard sometimes the manhwa is changed from the novel. Welp I guess not in this one. THAT DAMN SECATARY PISSED ME OFF. WHY WOULD YOU LOOK FOR HER. LEAVE HER ALONE!
Does anyone else get annoyed when an author uses a love triangle just so that the there is tension, conflict and drama between the main couple.
It feels so lazy and overdone in stories. Im so tired of it!
I like a good redemption arc but this story really annoys me and thats why I dropped it.
The age gap, the cheating and the love triangle pissed me off. Honestly I don't even know why I read this in the first place when it had so many tropes I hated.
Before I found out the novel spoilers. I was really hoping she was gonna move on and not end up with that weirdo.
Would have been a much better story if he just got over that stupid crush.
I dont get why authors always have to overcomplicate things.
These types of stories where no matter who gets hurt as long as the main couple ends up together. Really annoys me.
Looking for the BL
Im pretty sure its chinese. I remember they fight over being the top and theres a scene where they go camping and do it in a tent
Could you please reccomend me a place to download BL series. I used kissasian and dramacool before but I cant download anymore.
Please help me find this BL manhwa
The uke works at a convience store and develops a crush on the seme. There is a rumor the seme will sleep with anybody who is an omega.
I think the uke is a beta who takes a drug to turn him into an omega and asks seme to sleep with him.
I'm looking for manhwas with older woman x younger man. With small age gaps (1 to 6 years)
WOMAN MUST BE OLDER PLEASE. I don't like when the man is older. Bonus if he thinks she's younger
and please NO stories that include step siblings, cheating or love triangles
I'm looking for a manhwa where the MC is non-human and the ML is human.
Okay, here we go.
I've had a lot on my mind this week, and since we're all part of this community, I wanted to share some thoughts. Maybe some of you will relate, and maybe some of you won't. I think when you have opinions that aren't very popular, or you notice things that don't seem to bother most readers, it can be intimidating to talk about them because you feel like you'll be the only one. But I've found that even with some of my less popular takes, there's usually at least one or two people who agree. So maybe I'm not completely alone.
Anyway, here's what's been on my mind.
I love romance. I'm a romance girl through and through. Sometimes I'll be watching an action series, reading a thriller, or consuming a story that isn't romance-focused, and I'll find myself wishing there was at least a little bit of romance. Not because every story needs it, but because sometimes the chemistry is right there and it feels like it would fit so well.
The problem is that the more romance I've consumed over the years, the harder it has become for me to enjoy it.
I think once you've read enough books, watched enough movies and dramas, and spent enough time engaging with stories, you start figuring out exactly what you like and what you don't. Sometimes it's specific things, and sometimes it's broader patterns. The downside is that eventually you start noticing the same plots, the same character dynamics, and the same tropes being recycled over and over again.
I love when authors take a familiar trope and give it a fresh twist. I remember reading a Wattpad story years ago where, instead of the typical "best friend's brother" trope, it was the best friend's cousin. It's a small change, but it felt refreshing because it wasn't exactly the same thing I'd seen a hundred times before.
I've also noticed that as I've gotten older, a lot of romance tropes that I used to tolerate have become things I actively dislike.
For example, I've completely lost interest in the whole "she can fix him" narrative. The bad boy who becomes a good man because of love. The toxic guy who gets chosen over the healthier option because the author wants to give him a redemption arc. The love triangle where the emotionally manipulative character wins because he's more dramatic.
I just can't get invested in those stories anymore.
I think everyone has their own idea of what chemistry and love should look like. For me, love is built on mutual respect. It's not about power imbalances, possessiveness, obsession, control, or emotional dependency. Because of that, a lot of romance stories simply don't work for me.
That's probably why I've never really been a dark romance reader. I've read some dark romance before, but a lot of newer stories don't even feel romantic to me anymore. They just feel abusive. Of course, everyone has different preferences, and that's completely fine. It's just not something I enjoy.
Another thing I've realized is that this doesn't just apply to romance tropes. It also applies to how characters are written.
I've never really understood the idea that a character has to be deeply flawed, extremely relatable, or have a tragic backstory in order to be interesting. Personally, I don't need to relate to a character to enjoy them. A character can have a completely different life experience from mine and still be compelling to read about.
Likewise, I don't think every character needs a devastating backstory. They don't all need to be orphans, survivors of severe bullying, victims of betrayal, or people carrying years of trauma. Those stories absolutely have their place, but sometimes it feels like writers rely on tragedy as a shortcut to make readers care.
The reality is that not everyone goes through something life-altering, and that doesn't make them less interesting. Some people have relatively normal lives and still have fascinating personalities, relationships, goals, and struggles. When a writer can create a character who doesn't have an overwhelmingly tragic past and still make them engaging, relatable, or memorable, I actually find that more impressive.
Maybe that's also why I get frustrated when stories introduce certain character choices that feel unnecessary. There have been so many times when I've really liked a character, only for the story to take them in a direction that completely changes how I see them.
For example, in Lucky Paradise, I really liked the top and I was happy he was chosen in the end. But then there were chapters, especially in some of the side stories, where he treated his friend horribly and almost got physical with him. After that, I found myself liking him a lot less.
Or in Dangerous Convenience Store. I never finished it, but I know the top disappears for a while, comes back, and by that point the bottom is dating someone else. Maybe the boyfriend wasn't perfect, and maybe readers can justify why the relationship wasn't great, but the fact remains that he was still in a relationship. Then the story introduces cheating because we're supposed to root for the main couple anyway. That completely took me out of it.
I think that's part of the reason I struggle with a lot of romances these days. It's not necessarily that the characters are flawed. I actually like flawed characters. It's when the story expects me to overlook behavior that I personally find difficult to excuse just because they're the main couple or because they're destined to end up together.
There are so many stories where I'll really enjoy a character in the beginning, and then they'll do one thing, or the relationship dynamic will shift in a certain direction, and suddenly I'm asking myself, "Why did the author have to do that?"
That's also why I don't usually enjoy relationships built on major imbalances. The classic example is the older, wealthier, more experienced man paired with the extremely naive, innocent girl. He's her first love, her first relationship, sometimes even her first everything, while he's had years of experience.
That dynamic has always made me uncomfortable because it feels like the relationship starts with one person having significantly more power than the other.
I also dislike when authors use a character's first romantic or sexual experience as a way of permanently tying them to someone. Sometimes it creates this feeling that the character can't move on because that person was their first. As a reader, it can make the relationship feel less like a choice and more like a trap.
That's also part of why I'm not usually drawn to first-love stories. Sometimes they're cute, but I don't like when "first love" gets treated as if it should outweigh everything else, including unhealthy behavior. Being someone's first doesn't mean they should automatically be their forever person.
All of this has made it surprisingly difficult to find romance stories that I genuinely enjoy these days.
One of the last romances I really loved was Guildmate Next Door. It was cute. There was some tension, some misunderstandings, and a bit of the enemies-to-lovers energy, but it never crossed into the kind of toxicity that completely takes me out of the story. I also really enjoyed Maybe Netkama Punch for similar reasons.
I think people sometimes assume that healthy relationships are boring, but I don't agree. A story doesn't need extreme toxicity, obsession, manipulation, or constant drama to create tension. You can still have conflict, chemistry, emotional stakes, and excitement without making the relationship itself unhealthy.
So lately I've been thinking a lot about all of this. Maybe it's just part of getting older. Maybe my tastes have changed. But I've definitely reached a point where a lot of romance media just isn't hitting the same way anymore, and it's frustrating because I still love romance as a genre.
Anyway, that's my ramble for today. I have another related topic I've been thinking about, but that's a conversation for another post.
