does any one have any recs for BL stories that are just calming for the soul. well written and refreshing, not too old either. both characters seem well adjusted and arent just exaggerated caricatures of tops and bottoms.
otherwise BL stories where the ML chases the MC and they have a sort of slow burn romance. idm manga, manhwa or manhua

( i went a little overboard sorry about that. These are some of my most favourite bl there are slow burn/fast burn chasing the mc kinda a mix, but I'm sure you'll love them all )
looking for a finished manhwa, its a/b/o. rich ceo omega paired with college student journalist alpha. they end up getting married in the end. the whole premise is that because omegas are more rare than alphas they are more precious and treasured and respected. If anyone knows the name pleasee tell me so i can save it :(
ive been on this site for like 4 years now and i feel like maturing is just not bothering with the topic section. like when i was younger i was debating with mfs on every chapter of love or hate that came out and now i read the most problematic shit and skip the topic section because i know it’ll be like a twitter thread of why everyone who reads a certain manga should die in a hole and is worse than scum. end of the day we’re all on a pirating website and it is absolutely our choice what we choose to read or skip, although i get reading something out of hate. I do that alot too i js dont comment anymore
LOOKING FOR A BL MANGA WHERE THE TOP IS WAY SMALLER THAN THE BOTTOM AND HAS WHITE HAIR AND THEY WORK AT A DELIVERY COMPANY OR SOMETHING AND THE THUMBNAIL IS RED? more plot details uh,, the top really admires the bottom at work, they end up getting drunk and the top pukes all over his expensive jacket and to compensate for it the bottom makes him do much harder work in their workplace?
I really wish this website would kill the term "yaoi" and finally just roll with BL bc like yaoi is such an outdated term and ppl misuse it all the time yknow.
This is not sarcasm or anything but what’s the difference??? Besides yaoi being outdated and everything. Like uhmm what affect would it make? Is it bad to use the term yaoi? I just want to know cause I’ve been reading yaois and bls for so long now that I don’t notice much difference. Please help me understand better ┗( T﹏T )┛
I get it but if girls are only reading for the smut = fetishizing gay men, does that mean when pple watch str8 porn, they’re also fetishizing them? I mean some yaoi are technically porn (djs, porn w/o plot) just like how str8 porn are and most fanfics. And isn’t it just like how men prefers to watch lesbian or read yuri?? Again this is just plainly curiosity, I don’t mean anything behind my questions.
BL is a much less problematic term in my opinion. Even manga publishing companies are starting to stray away from the term and opt for BL instead. BL is also alot more universal it is literally any fictional media that depicts an mlm relationship. A good example of the misuse of the word yaoi would be with Yuri on ice. People describe things like yuri on ice as a yaoi when its really just a sports anime with BL. Given the problematic nature of the word i feel it'd be more appropriate and respectful to use it rather than just watering it down to some "yaoi", ygm?
I feel like you missed my point but its fine. shounen ai directly translates to boys love, but can also be translated as a term for romantic relationships between young boys and older men. https://futekiya.com/what-is-shounen-ai/ this article sums it up pretty well, and also outlines how much BL is used outside of western audiences.
sorry to butt in but yaoi is outdated because it's hardly even used in japan anymore outside of some doujinshi sites. the term refers to mlm parody fan work doujinshi with no plot and it's not necessarily sexual. the "sexual yaoi" and the "pure wholesome fluffy shounen ai" are just made up by western fan spaces. (ironic how shounen ai is actually about pederasty and pedophilia.) it's better to just call them all BL. you can always use nsfw or sfw if you want to make a distinction between those with sex scenes and those that don't. cmiiw
I will leave this link here there was vast discussion on it -
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/11218694/
I would say just cuz japan stopped using this word why we should I m just stating, open tht link there was whole as explanation tht u r tryin to convey here don't get me wrong I m old yaoi reader and I find yaoi word more suitable world do not work on specific thing there r different people and many people find yaoi word in short to find anything.
because the japanese people made it. it's their term, their language, a part of their culture, and they don't want outsiders to misuse it. yet you're here, still prefering to use the word incorrectly when you already know better. you're just helping to reinforce the negative connotations wether you mean to or not by making distinctions. i get that it's easier to use yaoi or shounen ai when searching works but outside of that, i really don't think there's a point. it's not that hard to say BL
for the link you sent, yes i've read it but it seems like you haven't or you just chose to ignore those that don't agree with you. i suggest you also read the google docs link that was in one of the replies. it has lengthy explanations about various aspects based on credible sources
first of all, i already said sorry for butting in cause you initially weren't talking to me. however, this is a public convo and people are allowed to add in their thoughts. also, you already involved me by replying and asking some stuff so that's also on you. second, i already told you that it's your choice. use whatever term you want, i can't actually stop you. i was just saying why it's better not to. lastly, this topic might seem nonsense and unimportant to you but to others it matters. why do you think academic papers and books are written about it? yeah, so people don't get misinformed. you don't really seem to care unless things benefit you since most of what i say flies over your head so i'm gonna stop here. i hope you have a good day
what website are we using for kr raws these days
Newtoki
There are various hosting sites of Korean raws - newtoki , toonkor , blacktoon. But I prefer newtoki it's easier to use
do you have a working link atm bc my old link dont work no more :(
