Nothing’s new (in BLs)
Is it just me or has the BL genre become kind of..stale?? Nothing really speaks to me anymore, maybe it’s just the lack of stories that I actually like, but I really feel like it’s the entirety of BL as a whole. Someone please back me up on this.
If the cover is ml groping the unwilling mc from behind yk the story is ass. (Yes ik im judging a book by its cover but this has literally never failed me)
Anyways uhhh shameless plug for my list of bls w actually good plots :3

I haven't really been having issues finding good new manga, but I've definitely been incredibly uninterested in manhwa recently. They all just reuse the same dynamics and it's boring and I hate it. Or they're all toxic, or fake deep, or have way too much smut, or all of the above.
Every time I open a new bl manhwa and it immediately starts with a...... 2 reply
agree. i often times find myself reading bls that are completed 5-7 years ago. only a couple new ones caught my attention, most are just recycled plots and cliche, mostly bland characters. i have a lot more left to say but i suck at explaining/expressing myself good lord.

Oversaturation of a genre causes staleness. Everybody wants to make a bag out of creating bls and since fujos eat up anything as long it has two guys fucking in it people know they don't actually have to put effort into writing a story reply
And the wild part? Even when something tries to be different, it still somehow circles back to the usual beats. It’s not that BL as a whole is bad; it’s just stuck in this safe zone where nobody wants to take risks. So yeah, the stagnation is real. Trust me, you’re not feeling this alone. The genre isn’t stale because it can’t grow it’...... reply
I thought I was the only one feeling that way.
Well yeah, the new ones are like the same repetition of plot. I can't find anything that interests me....
Been re reading the old ones on a repeat process. reply
I have learned if someone asks this question, go snoop into their profile to see which kind of BL they consume. "BL is formulaic" because these are the kind of BLs that you are consuming. They are all with the same plot and characters. Improve your list. 4 reply
I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I feel like its burnout or nostalgia effect but I also really feel like a fisherman who's only reeling in 3 tunas a month(thats generous to say even).
Most of the BLs I'm currently invested in started years ago, and the more recent ones are really just because they have mpreg. I just went through 19 pages fr...... reply
well there is this in flux of koren manhwas which is literally copy paste same poor uke plot , or toxic ml plot .. & the same plot kept on getting recycled by almost everyone ...& since manhwas gets updated every week you could get bored of same story line easily ..leaving that aside good quality mangas hardly gets uploaded here which i saw gets up...... reply
Manhwas are what get me. I feel like this is an issue with both shoujo and BLs when it comes to manhwas. It’s always the 5 same stories with the same characters, same plot, same cliche, and same tropes. I’m literally so SO bored atp. Highkey I completely skip stories nowadays if it’s got the “webtoons” tag on it. Like I tried the new BL Y...... reply
