Love and leashes (Sensual M) or Strictly Confidential (Confidentiality)????? I’m talking characterisation and story wise, Confidentiality has well written characters with realistic flaws etc, very 3 dimensional

I am pleased that the authors now realise that the women crave smut too but damn, the stories and characters are all so badly written
Yesss, smut books and novels, bodice rippers, historical romance, dark romance, etc etc, I’m mainly talking about smutty manga, there haven’t been a lot until recently and they’re all really bad. As it has been the last couple of years, any work that was spicy was for men (hentai, harem, etc) and they’re all also pretty bad but it was misogynistic slim pickings for the women (why do they think women want to read that shit). Still really bad but more bad options I guess?
Is yuri experiencing a slopocalypse?????
In my opinion, I think all romance genres - straight, BL and GL - are experiencing a slow degradation; most new stories, especially manhwas ngl, are just filled with either the most cliché tropes you can possibly jam into one storyline or are straight-up romanticising disgusting behaviours and acts that definitely shouldn't be, ie. incestuous couples, illegal age-gaps, non-consensual acts, etc. etc.
Anyone know of a historical fantasy manga/manhwa/webtoon where the mc has not reincarnated or transmigrated or has a book to tell them the future or knows anything about the future or has gone back to their past body. Basically any way they know the future is an no no. I want them raw dogging life. Also can it have a well written romance??
I really like your throne for this, Emma and Opium were also good though they aren’t a fantasy.

YOU GUYS LIED TO MEEEEE, THE VILLAINESS REVERSES THE HOURGLASS IS MID AS HELL AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The only well written character is the protagonist, her mother (very few lines tho), and Oscar. Author put their whole being into writing her, everything else, the villains, the setting, the romantic interests, even the freaking lore was mid. An extremely well written protagonist couldn’t save it for me, everything else just weighed it dowwwn. Which at least is better than most reincarnation manhwas I guess because they don’t seem to have that lately.
I couldn’t even stick around for the complete revenge, I dropped it when her and Asher first travelled to another kingdom. At that point she just showed that the entire family were a bunch of idiots including step sis and so there was no point in complete revenge for me. I didn’t care about Isis enough to see her destroyed. There wasn’t a villain I would love to hate. She had enough money and was engaged to the prince, she could have just gotten her mom and her maids out. I just didn’t feel that burning desire for revenge anymore. It didn’t feel visceral.
The only well written character was our protagonist and she definitely had depth. I could even read 58 chapters solely because of her, nothing else was interesting though, not any other character except maybe her mom and Oscar, no proper fleshed out villain, no good back ground, no good lore, nothing else, and eventually even our beloved protagonist couldn’t save it for me.
Read this it’s soooo good

I can’t tell you but lemme just say that I personally hate love triangles, they really make me so mad and I always root for the second ml because they are usually so much sweeter but this one did not make me mad and I guarantee you will love it. I guarantee ittttt!!!!! You will love every single character, it’s very very well written
Can you convert or expand your love to yuri and become himejoshis pls? You guys are the drive behind why there are a lot of great high quality bls and yaois out there, with your tenacity and dedication perhaps yuri and gls can have better more high quality stories that are abundant and not so few
I'm mostly a manga reader and in most yuri manga they just look like little kids
But yeah I think I already read a fair share of Yuri but mangakas need to draw them like mature women pls
And manhwa, I mean they're ok but they're either toxic or the art style just throws me off
I'm a picky reader sorry himejoshis but I try
Nooooo, what about theseee

I need devastating friendship stories, friendship breakups, friendship shit
Not devastating but if you are okay with a manga with lots of wholesome moments and friendships them i definitely recommend you check out this one :

It was about a woman who newly joined a company (I think? Or started to work under a different boss who is our ml) and doesn’t like her boss, he seems to be very straight laced and kind of a perfectionist but he’s just misunderstood and quite gentle, he picks up the slack and works very hard (he’ll probably be you’re favourite character at the end), and there’s a whole arc where there’s a leak of information and they are trying to find the insider who is actually another company’s spy stealing ideas and the ending is very very sweet, they end up together

Why would u want that huh that disrespectful to nuns . Grow up
Women were forced to be nuns by their families in the 18th and 19th century so idk man, some interesting stories from their perspectives have to exist
Thank you!!!! The princess of sylph looks so interesting!!!!!!
