Why do ya'll mainly read BL/yaoi?
For me I have a bad habit of self inserting in stories where the FMC is bland/has no personality which leads me to not enjoy the story. I cant self insert in yaoi cus im not a guy, so I can read the series at face value even if both MCs are trash/poorly written.
I'm actually a lesbian. I discovered yaoi at a time where I was at war with my identity and didn't want to accept that I liked girls, so I started reading yaoi as sort of confirmation that I did in fact like men.
Of course no matter how much I tried I couldn't be attracted to men, male characters, etc. but I did find BL to be charming. It was a w...... reply

i'm a straight dude, so i do not find any appeal in men but shoujos that are targeted towards women, it's just cringe most of the time, same with shoujo targeted towards men, it's just mostly porn or harem.

Well I use to read yaoi just for fun ngl, the drama can be so stupid and funny, literally they can be so easy to solve LMAO. But I stopped reading mainly yaoi and moved on to action and reincarnation reply
I love slice of life. And shounen ai bl mangas have so many slice of life so I love reading them. Even tho I like bl, I hate bdsm yaoi stuffs and how rapey some yaois (mostly manhwas) can get, so I don't read them. Also I read straight shoujo but bl is fun to read haha reply
I mainly read BL because I love how the author give emotions to the character and the plot ... Even though it looks repetitive but some have a special something on it .... for example "10 years where I love you the most" I only read half of it but the impact of the plot and characters was so good that every chapter makes me cry
I also read Romanc...... reply
