I have very strong opinions and express them often, so I mean what I say. If it makes you mad, it's not my problem.
DNI if you can’t grasp why SA is wrong, don’t know what consent is, think dubcon/noncon isn’t SA, glorify it, excuse it, victim blame, normalize it, or romanticize it. DNI if you're a minor and on top of that, disagree with all I've stated above. Genuinely, get help immediately if you are any and all of the above. As long as you understand all of the above, I don’t care if you read stories with TWs/CWs and love it cause it's in its nature or cause of other reasons.
DNI if you're rude to uploaders! I don't support full AI translations, only when used if needed.
DNI if you slap “autistic” on every socially awkward character. Social ineptness ≠ autism. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition you’re born with. It’s not caused by a bad childhood, trauma, or “being bad at socializing.” They don’t share your experiences just because you relate to them, so stop projecting. Unless it’s explicitly stated or portrayed (consistent traits like sensory sensitivities, communication patterns, developmental context, etc.), they’re not autistic. Not every quiet, blunt, or emotionally stunted character is neurodivergent. Sometimes they’re just written that way. Stop throwing labels around and actually comprehend the character instead of reducing them to a one dimensional ‘autistic’ label. Not sorry.
Getting me to read something below a 9.0 rating is difficult. Ironically, my average rating ends up being a 6.3.
I will always prefer the green flag over the red and black flag. Or just the overall better ml.
I farm on official sites when I have time.
Good art ≠ Good storyline
• All Time Fav BL •
° Love for Sale ( Peak )
° The Summer Hikaru Died ( Ik it's queer. I love the symbolism and metaphors that I find. )
° Aporia ( One of the better bdsm series )
° MadK ( Literally read it once, and now, I think about it every once in a while. )
° A First of Summers ( Another wholesome, grounding age gap )
° A Home Far Away ( This shit is ragebait. )
° Koi ga Ochitara ( Short, sweet and simple age gap )
° Stigma and Ouroboros ( Both on dark topics and themes related to SA and abuse, that I relate to, think of often, and wonder why we don’t have more like these two, among a sea filled with SA and abuse that handle them so poorly in narrative writing. )
• MLs/MCs who I love and think they deserve better. This means I dislike the series and/or their toxic, abusive partners. •
Seo Yeon-Oh ( Limited Run )
Saein ( Say A Little Prayer )
Dong-gyun ( BJ Alex )
Yesung ( Incomplete Combustion )
My Beloved Joseph Landi ( series is not worth mentioning )
My Beloved Youngwoo Shin ( same fuckass series )
Uncontroversial Opinion : Killing Stalking is not a BL.
• Genres / Tropes I Dislike •
childhood friends (always the same boring plots) | friends to lovers (same boring plots) | showbiz (cringe) | school with smut (they're minors bro) | college (boring setting, unless art is pretty and plot is good) | extreme financial gap, especially involving yakuza/mafia (seen and read a million times before), slice of life (boring, no substance, unless mature and executed well, like Love for Sale) | mother like ukes (it's usually their only personality) | any top who can't do basic household chores and cooking without even trying and falls in love with the bottom just cause he does these for him (superficial) | toxicity, sa, abuse, huge power dynamic (vast majority with these themes are not handled well and almost everyone will applaud, thinking it's truly dark and psychological ☠. If I manage to read them, it's only for the emotional aspects.)
• Genres / Tropes I love : No explanations needed cause they're simply unique, rare, or peak when executed well. •
omegaverse | age gap (preferably older top and younger bottom) | similar statures / buff bottoms (I really don't mind skinny bottoms though. They deserve love too.) | switches | power bottoms | bdsm | coming of age | wholesomeness | drama | psychological | yearning (puppy and yearning are different. Not a big fan of puppy lovers), pure hearted and selfless lovers | grounding | healing/emotional journey | character driven plot
• First BL : I Hear the Sunspot : 7.5/10 •
Purchased at a bookstore cause the art caught my eye lol. I don't plan to purchase the latest volume cause I didn't like it that much when I read it on here. First couple of volumes were really good though. I love that it's a wholesome romance and brings attention to deaf and hard of hearing people. The character development just needs more work, and the plot needs more substance. The author also doesn't seem to go deeper and explore more implications of the deaf hearing relationship. It's starting to feel like a generic romance manga.
Starting to pick up josei and GL cause I'm getting bored of BL or at least I think I am. I only keep up with my favorite updates. If I'm reading josei, I want a dominant, independent, strong female protagonist. I berate the men in josei if they're reasonably trash, including the ML. I do the same to trash men in bl. All fair.
Fuuucckkkk They're so cute
Their confession made me cry
Help- How much time has passed since they started dating?! From ch. 5 to 5.5, I was like awweee and then like Togawa touching Nozue and Nozue saying he gave a bj. Sometimes I forget fluffy couples like them can get freaky too
"It's always just been, 'wow, Nozue's cute.'" Literally. That's all that should matter. Who cares about age, gender, sexuality, what others think. Love is love, and a person who really loves you will love you for who you are. Ughh
SAY YES!!!
