I always feel like the norm for yaoi is the uke staying at home just having sex with the seme, and the seme being capable while being head over heels for the uke. does anyone know yaois where the seme and uke are both capable and have their own lives while being mutually in love with each other? I get annoyed when the seme just handles every single thing for the uke and the uke just waits at home doing nothing.
eg. paid by fujoking, the sex is great but im a bit sad that taekyung just shelters heejae when he's capable. I feel like even though heejae has amnesia he would still have some independence but instead it feels like he's just at home to be dumb and airheaded. don't get me wrong-- I love gentle ukes but I want them to have a life of their own TT
eg itadakimasu gochisou sama: uke is gentle but has a restaurant and is a good cook,
a shoujo example: suit no sukima: fl has her own worklife and doesnt daydream about ml all day.
another example is cherry blossoms after winter-- haebom is so cute in sex ofc, but outside of it he doesn't have much of a life to speak of. taesung takes care of everything and haebom is just there to be babied and pampered. ofc I love it when the seme is very considerate like in on or off, but you get the idea orz
I agree with you.
Sadly, this can be explained by the sexism in our society - because the uke role is associated with « a feminine » one... so it comes with its clichés too #-.-)
I am bad at remembering works according to certain criteria but here some recs that should be fine :

http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/madman_combo/ (In this one uke has an independent spirit)
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/nichijou_climax/ (Quite realistic gay relationship)
I advise you to go for manga / webtoon that show more of a « realistic gay relationship » because couple in real life don’t have « definite roles » like in mangas (even the idea of a definite uke and seme is not realistic by the way). These kind of couple feel more equals
i remember in one of the later chapters, seme goes to the roof looking for uke, and uke poors water on his head. seme tries to climb the higher part of the roof and uke teases him saying he should work out more? and then they have sex. seme rips the condom open and uke notes that he looks sexy or something. I reread this recently and forgot the name AGHHH
I remember reading this almost 5 years ago and I still haven't been able to find it.
so theres this girl and she lives in a mansion with her butler, her parents are dead but her dad used to be a doll maker. in his atelier is a lifesize balljointed/porcelain doll of her that comes to life while she's asleep. her butler also rapes mc in her sleep aswell. the doll starts causing trouble etc etc, and later the butler kills the doll by stabbing in the eye or something?? it's really weird and i forced myself to forget the name since I was so shocked after reading it, but now i'm very curious about it again;;
WAIT WTF IT LITERALLY CAME UP ON MY PAGE RIGHT AFTER I ASKED WTF WAS MY 5 YEARS OF SEARCHING JESUS CHRIST

its this ... im lowkey salty that I found it right after I gave up
eg reading the seme's mind, seeing aura, rewinding time for a bit
preferably the uke and the uke only
Can feel the person's sensitivity for 24 hours after making eye contact with them for 5 seconds:

so there are these two bounterhunters/hitmen/mercenaries, one is a girl and one is a guy and they are on a balcony after a mission, and the guy stabs the girl for whatever reason and she falls into the sea. they were lovers but apparently the guy was just using her. she is either reborn or reincarnated into another world.
Its an anime i think it's name is “The demonic king who chases hid wife”

sorry TT i forgot to mention it was a manga, but thankyou!
