I NEED a bl with a good plot rn. Like guideverse or gamer verse or isekai or espionage or apocalypse or royal palace, literally whatever, but just like the plot is banger and the romance is secondary (but also banger). I know there are like a million but for some reason I can't seem to find any.
if you see anything on here you haven’t read highly recommend. I also have a grey/red flag list if you are open to that https://www.mangago.me/home/mangalist/3537915/?filter=do&page=1
The s class Guide is sweet as honey? Something like this i don't properly remember the name but you'll like the plot the male lead is nice but kinda like a red flag, but like U will know when u read it why he's like that so Ig.

Where the uke saves the seme when they're younger and then the seme comes back to be with the uke when they're older
The only one that comes to mind is this one.

I will add more if I remember.
Yo, why was this shit so depressing? Honestly really does fit the bill... I can't lie, I actually felt really weird about the fact the mc raised the ml, even though that stuff normally doesn't bother me all that much. For such a heartfelt story trying so hard to make moral points, it just really didn't fit that that was like his kid and the twincest bro what? But I guess that's just the author's personal taste. Honestly, it was still good. I have a lot of mixed feelings. Thanks for the rec
Does anyone have recs for bls that have a good balance of light and fluffy with angst? I don't like that every story is either all fluff no substance or way too dark... it feels like there's so little in between. I'd love something fun with some comedy that also has real angst & struggle at the same time! Thx in advance ^w^
This is maybe an odd request, but lately I feel like everything i read on here just makes no damn sense. Half of it is because of poor translations and half of it is just poor writing. Does anyone have recs where there is a good plot that actually makes sense and the story is translated well? I just want to read something good rn.
ESPECIALLY if the author is good at breadcrumb trailing instead of just a bunch of plot holes and things that don't make sense or too much mystery/drama at once. Anything with good pacing and good story telling please
Hey guys I just read another infuriating rape to love... so I would love to read a bl where the mc is raped but gets hella revenge on his rapist and does not forgive/fall in love with him even if the rapist falls in love with the mc and regrets it. I would really like it if the mc gets with a green flag seme as well who helps him heal lmk if you have recs like that! Even if a part or two I mentioned is missing.
this (slight spoilers about the revenge) honestly you'll wish worse things happened to the rapist but it's very realistic imo, u won't really be that unsatisfied though. also the ml isn't a superrrr green flag in the beginning cuz he has his own trauma BUT HE BECOMES BETTER AND GREENER. I highly rec !! https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/stigma_marloong/
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/i_became_a_slave_to_the_man_i_abandoned_nebul/ THISSS (I mean the novel!! The manhwa is still faaar behind)
I'm becoming boring because I always recommend this for that reason LMAO.
The first half is terrible, basically torture porn full of misunderstandings, what I love is the SECOND half, the revenge!!
The main character never fully forgives his rapists (kills one of them, the emperor, to become the new emperor and tortures/makes his dog the other male lead). There is a third male lead that hasn't appeared yet in the manhwa that is the sweetest (in the side stories he still keeps both the surviving male lead and the sweet third male lead as his lovers, with clear preferential treatment for the latter).
That surviving male lead REALLY regrets it and gladly takes any revenge the mc has in mind (he deserves it)
Can you guys pleeeease rec me some yaoi/shounen ai where the seme is really gentle and sweet? Any will do, but ESPECIALLY if he's mature and soft spoken but confident. Like, a megane doctor or teacher or something like that, who is gentle and kind but still self possessed. BONUS POINTS if the uke is spicy and sly!
I've been thinking a lot lately about how if I ever get a gf (becoming very possible in the next few weeks), there are a lot of sides of me I will likely never show her (exhibit A: this account). I was wondering if the gooner squad here also keeps this stuff/fandom stuff a secret irl to appear normal and not get dunked on or if y'all just embrace it and don't care?

I am so done with the seme fucking the uke all night long ("just one more time? Please?" X100) and the uke asking to stop and saying it's too much and it's always the same... I get it's a lot of people's tastes. But I wish there were more variety. I feel like you could take a sex scene each from all the top 50 yaois, blur the characters' faces and names, and they would all look exactly the same and no one could tell which scene was from which manga... It's just gotten so monotonous. Where's the creativity? The unique couple dynamic? The variety? *sigh* anyway, lmk if you have unique recs (maybe one where the seme doesn't have endless stamina or the uke is more into it than the seme is or they do it once and are satisfied, idk)
yupp cause if i had a penny for everytime a seme says "are you sure you want to stop, you're body says otherwise" i'd probably have over a pound's worth it's so repetitive and it's not even hot, its actually such an ick.
Sometimes i think its too unrealistic. Cause who the hell had sex for 2 days straight????
