PLEASE!!! I YEARN for older ukes and younger semes, I’m NOT talking about a measly 1-5 year age gap, give me a GOOD 10+ years. My internally confucian-self loves to see such a reverse in authority!!!
I’m very tired of almost 90% of the stuff I read being that the uke is younger and the seme is older.. especially since I can’t even escape that common relationship theme in real life in the first place. (Also the fact that sometimes these ukes are SO baby-faced and naïve)
Examples I really enjoyed are:
ENNEAD
Master-Peace
Indomitable Champion [SIDE STORY - What if… ]
If possible, I would like not-too-short stories, but if they are that’s fine too! WITH A STABLE PLOT. I HATE WHEN THEY DON’T MAKE SENSE OR IT’S THE EASIEST PLOT TO UNDERSTAND EVER.
Straight to the point: give me the most LIFE-CHANGING, GUTTING, DREADFUL, ANGSTY, TRAUMATIC, HUMAN, PERHAPS PSYCHOLOGICAL manhwa/manhua/manga you know (especially psychological thriller being the focus). I yearn for more…
Examples that forever live rent-free in my head are:
Unchanged Man
Warehouse
Master-Peace
Bait
ENNEAD
Secret Alliance
No Home/Homeless
Mob Psycho 100
Death Note
Thank you! ANYTHING will do. Any romance, no romance… I do not care!
I genuinely read the main story expecting “slop” as many called it and it was just neutral, I mean it didn’t really stir up anything in me as I’ve read so much worse and people will enjoy/hate what they will; I read that main story with the straightest face ever and a bit of disappointment in the fact that the DIRECTOR was the one Hojoong ended up with since I was totally expecting Ricky due to his fascination with Hojoong from just one match in the ring…
THEN BAM! THAT WAS THE SIDE STORY. AND BY THE LORD, THAT WAS FANTASTIC. I REALLY DID NOT EXPECT THAT SIDE STORY TO BE SO DAMN GOOD?!?!? PUSHED UP MY LIST, PAST HALF OF MY FAVORITE BLS. THAT WAS GENUINELY *THE* BEST SIDE STORY EVER. The author truly put their ALL and I just have to express my strong emotions of joy for RickJoong beyond just putting it in my list They’re a match made in hell and it’s so awesome that we got to explore beyond a “raping game” to this complex fucked-up relationship that included impressive, realistic development.
I wonder what the next side-story is… I’m excited and terrified but I’m sure with their newfound passion for further developing the characters, HOPEFULLY it’ll be great as well.
