Can anyone link "The Light I give You" here? I can't seem to find it, thank you! ML is a blond crybaby and MC has dark hair
Any recs where MC regresses so he could fix what happened? Something like "Again". Really into time reversals rn lol

"Beyond Memories"
Is "Unhinged Overnight" in here? It's about MC having to be an obsessive top or else the system kills him lol but I can't seem to find the alt name for it
It's a bl manga where there are 2 students who cover their faces. They sat tgt then they meet again in a train, where both of them accidentally reveal each other's faces.
Iirc ML was a former model and it's one of the reason he covers his face up. Also I remember one guy was being homophobic to MC and showed a pic of him kissing another guy back in highschool (?) and their friends stood up for them
Yup it's this, thank you!
Labelling characters as *color* flag is weird to me. Like reducing their value to green, yellow, red when they all have nuances? Some would compare this and that character as both red flags but they aren't remotely the same. "Oh they're a red flag but he still loves MC so he's a green flag!" "This character was such a green flag, then he turned yellow, then red, then green again."
I also don't get people not wanting to read a story because others labelled it as a red flag. It's not like everyone else's standards for what is considered *color* the same. Maybe I read too much but I went and read Painter of the Night half expecting him to be a monster but he didn't even exceed my expectations.
Just read the damn story and form an opinion.
It is just a descriptor bro it is not that deep
minors and mostly tiktok readers use it lol same i hate it too on x app people there dont use that terms
tropes and cliches have always been reductive; this is essentially the same. that’s all.
Yeah people just say whatever colour based on how they view the character. Just ignore it and read whatever u want sis
It’s another case of terms being overused and losing their meaning. Unfortunately rather common.
Although a slight counterpoint would be that the terms are useful for categorising and finding certain stories. …Assuming it was used correctly in those cases—then we’re back at square one.
Idk but to me regardless of they love or treated the uke in later part of the series I’d still label them yellow or red or black. As you’ve mentioned POTN ioncare if he loved Nakyum he’s still a red flag to me. No amount of character development can change my mind when an ML SA the MC.
It’s literally just a quick way to categorize a story. Yall getting woke af
They have nuances sure, but a character who asks for consent and has boundaries and a character who rapes and tortures are two completely different characters. The colors exist to separate these big differences. Of course characters who all do weird things will just be a nuance of red, but to help people avoid reading those nuances of red all together, it helps to have the label.
POTN, Jinx, Pearl Boy, Reverse Thinking, Waterside night, etc, these would all fall in the category of red. I haven't read any of them, idk their distinct nuances, but it doesn't matter, because people who don't like to read toxic stories should avoid all of these together.
It was a guideverse, iirc the ml had black hair and red eyes (?) And was SUPER obsessed with mc. He was wearing some military outfit too. I cannot remember the plot at all..
No but thank you
bloodbound? but the ml looking is actually the bottom
"Oh this top is such a crybaby and is so submissive he should've been bottom." "Oh this bottom is so badass and cool and always controls the top, he should've been top." "Oh this bottom IS TALLER than the top, he should've been top." ???? You are tasteless. There's this thing called sub and dom. Topping and bottoming isn't a personality trait. Not very woke of you guys?
On a side note, why are people so obsessed with characters switching too? "It's so unrealistic that they don't." not every gay couple in real life switches too?? What happened to preferences and dynamics? Fictional characters can be written with their own preferences too? Oh, buff guy x buff guy = switches? Really feeding into the stereotypes there eh?
/targeted to a lot of people
+1
YESS youre right Its a pretty stereotypical and heteronormative way of writing automatically making the more feminine character the bottom and the more masculine one the top. It reduces characters to a formula instead of letting their personalities actually matter.
Sorry I've been so used to seeing the term "switches" that I forgot that isn't even the correct term. It's "VERSE" that's for top and bottom, "Switch" is for sub and dom.
Ppl who "don't like miscommunication, angst, drama" in their stories are so boring lol you don't want any rising action or climax to the plot? Just begin the story with the side stories then, god.
"Oh they should've just communicated" that's the drama and plot. To flesh out the character, just put them in situations to see how they act. Taking too long? Click off.
miscommunication can be well written and also very poorly written. some miscommunication tropes are horrible to read. you can tell when it’s just the author wanting to drag their story and who doesn’t really know what to do with their own story.
i feel like miscommunication is well written when it doesn’t need 30 chapters of them acting extremely dumb and stupid. it’s like in horror movies when the protagonist makes the most STUPIDEST choices ever. you just wanna shake them off and slap their face. well it’s the same in books. it’s very frustrating when the plot isn’t going anywhere and that the author is writing bullshit.
i personally hate when a character keeps overthinking and not communicating when a normal sane person woudlve communicated since the start. like omg please for the love of god communicate….
I used to be this person but then I realised that angst makes the story SM better
Those readers are asking for a delish burger but only buns and patty and no sauce
