To all the straight and BL readers who are out here disappointed in this manhua just because it’s tragic and not the rainbow sparkly gl fantasy you stereotypically expect, you disappoint me.
What’s with these unrealistic expectations? not all gl stories are meant to be fluffy and cute. Some are tragic, some are toxic, and yes, some are literally just porn. That’s the beauty of it, it’s a genre with range. If you think gl is always doomed and you’re crying about being disappointed, acting like the author betrayed you just because they didn’t hand you the fairytale you wanted, then maybe you should just move along and find another story that actually fits your taste. No one’s forcing you to stay.
Stop dragging the whole genre down just because one work didn’t give you the ending you wanted. It’s not the genre’s fault. You just have skill issues and can’t even be bothered to use the search bar to find the stories that match your preferences. That’s on you, not on the authors.
Authors are free to write the stories they want, whether it’s a happy ending, a tragic one, or something in between. Not everything is created to satisfy your personal comfort zone. So quit acting like spoiled kids throwing tantrums online. If you don’t like it, go find something else instead of bashing an entire genre because one story didn’t cater to your fantasy.
fr bestie its not for everyone :CC
Tbh
I don't mind sad ending as long as they get liberty
Just like "living will"
holy yap fest
bro used manhua instead of manhwa, you would think people would learn the difference by now and people have the right to criticize a story if its bad. its not dragging down the genre bc there is yuri that is more plot- devised than this, that is also tragic and yes yuris don’t relatively need to have a good ending. people are allowed to dislike a story whether you like it or not, and you can’t criticize others for criticizing a work, you are just annoying and calling others spoiled kids is not the serve you think it is. also you saying: “go find something else instead of bashing an entire genre because one story didn’t cater to your fantasy.” when this story is just the author using a very popular fantasy and porn plot its not original at all, just because you like doesn’t mean other people will, stop dickriding!
To that "due to user's settings i cannot reply" yes you Yuriclits.
Yeah, I mixed up manhua and manhwa. My bad. But that’s not the point. The problem isn’t what I called it, it’s how people think.
I never said people can’t criticize. People can dislike whatever they want. You completely missed my point and acted like you were under attack. What I’m calling out is how quick some are to label a GL story as "trash" just because it’s not fluffy, wholesome, or rainbow and unicorns. The moment it gets tragic, sexual, or uncomfortable, people treat it like it suddenly becomes garbage.
Yes, it might be a popular porn or fantasy plot. That’s not unusual. Many stories people praise use the same tropes. Does that mean stories like this are automatically trash, or is it just prejudice because it’s a GL this time? How lame is that? The art, execution, and how the narrative lands are still imperfectly functional. It made me feel miserable, which is good. It shows it achieved its intended impact. The story works, even if it’s not my cup of tea. But did I diss it or call it garbage? No, because I respect the hard work and time poured into it.
It’s fine to be upset with how the story turned out, that’s fair. This kind of story is not for everyone. But what’s not fair is dragging the whole genre down because of it.
GL doesn’t have to always be “safe” or “cute” to be valid. It can be dark, tragic, uncomfortable, straight up porn, and that’s still storytelling. Sometimes it’s meant to hurt, to show a side that’s raw and imperfect. That’s part of representation, even if others are blind to actually see that.
It’s funny how you cry about people having the right to express their opinion yet completely lose it when someone points out how shallow or biased those opinions actually are. Complaining about being called out doesn’t make a critique stronger. It just exposes the ego behind it.
Calling this story “trash” because it didn’t fit your taste isn’t analysis. It’s entitlement. Not everything you dislike automatically equals bad writing. Others might find it interesting, and that’s completely valid too.
The thing that really gets me is when people keep boxing GL into one shape. Either it has to be soft and pure, or if it’s dark or sexual, it’s suddenly "trash." Meanwhile, when BL or straight romance goes dark, it’s called “mature” or “deep.” That double standard is real. It is incredibly disappointing.
Honestly, attitudes like that might be exactly why there’s so little GL out there in the first place. People acting like only “safe” or “cute” GL counts just makes it harder for authors to create anything outside that box, and that’s how people who think this way bring down the entire genre.
Calling me “annoying” or “dickriding” just for defending an author’s creative freedom, while saying “you can’t criticize others for criticizing a work”? That’s hypocrisy.
To whom it may apply, grow up. If this story wasn’t your thing, fine. Do yourself a favor and find something that actually fits your taste. Easier to do than throwing tantrums.
