BL for GAY MEN
I need a BL that appeals to GAY MEN specifically. So none of that female centrified content bullshit. I, as a cis gay man, find all these popular "BLs" (specifically from female writers) absolutely shit and just extremely sexualized, along with them DOWNPLAYING the obvious topic which is sexuality. I'm sick of shit like Jinx, POTN, CBAW, BJ Alex, that one manhwa where the top blackmails the bottom into keeping the child, etc. I specifically hate the fetishized SA that literally gets resolved without any progression. SA in general shouldn't even be forgivable.
If my fellow gay men out there have some great recommendations that cater to my preferences, reccommending them would be appreciated.
It’s beyond me how some of y’all found a problem with this post. Bro said “plz get me books by authors who are like me and understand my experience” and all of a sudden y’all felt attacked. I could throw y’all into a fighting ring and y’all would feel more attacked about this post than in the pit of death. 6 reply
Girl just click the Shounen Ai tag. Not to mention the shit written by gay men for gay men is often significantly "worse" than any of the stories you just mentioned 4 reply
Most popular BLs are pretty shit. Even as a woman who is the target audience of these BLs I despise them . Here U are is pretty good and the author is a gay man. reply
BL as a genre has always been written by women whose audience is other women so if you want actual content that is for gay men Bara is a genre of bl that was created specifically for gay men by other gay men but it still has a lot of problematic themes (sexual assault, pedophilia) and it's mostly just porn and no plot so just a warning. reply

- Doukyuusei by Nakamura Asumiko is an all time classic for me; extremely beautiful story and art, funny, and really captured that freakin feeling I experienced the first time I had the fattest crush to the same sex. One of the GOATs. Sweet, wholesome, home.

The manhwa you listed are all by Korean authors I believe, you may have some luck with Japanese authors, even female ones who can write without fetishizing the gay experience. Try checking out:
