is korean BL becoming more boring?
i usually find new things to read by scrolling through the latest update page of this website, but recently i feel like ive been sifting through grains of sand for hours to find one slightly good or above average manhwa. korean manhwa oftentimes isnt that high quality because of the sheer output that publishing companies shit out, but nowadays i feel like its becoming worse. the same trendy types of stories that have become the norm for action/straight romance stories are being pushed out with BL.
every manhwa starts with a rape scene and has a redflag top that takes advantage of the bottom for like 80% of the series and im sick of reading the same plot with the same boring personalities every time i press on something new. brutal sex scenes and absolutely no stakes for anyone except the usually impoverished/abused main character bottom.
the crazy thing is that i havent noticed this really occuring as rapidly with jp or cn BL. mostly just korea because again, the industry for manhwa there is HUGEE and fast.
the latest manhwa ive picked up and have genuinely been enjoying is master-peace and that brought me back to like 2015-2020 era BL where good (or even just unique) storylines came before porn.
finding a good, enjoyable, non-mainstream and isn't a porn slop manhwa is rare nowadays, after LITC ends I'm only invested on "yang ilwoo and i" 1 reply
Unfortunately BL manhwa writers like to follow trends and since toxic yaoi with a sprinkle of rape and a massive power imbalance between the seme and the uke is hip rn and constantly trending, those of us who don’t enjoy those themes have to suffer or find older BL to read until the next trend we like rolls around and we can start enjoying again. reply
A lot of us probably have nostalgia because I reread some of my favorites from when I first started reading BL and it really isn't as good as I remember. I still look at them with fond memories though. (Like back in the day they were a 10/10 but now I would say a 7 or 8 out of 10). I think this way because I met a newer BL reader recently she likes...... reply
I totally get you, bl manhwa cover all the feature page but every one I click is just the same copy story with only bit decent art that I can't bother to finish the first chapter. Till the point I just want to filter out all manhwa and read manga only now. But I feel like manga scanlation have been somewhat staggered and it also hard to dig out of ...... reply
I think it's because we're getting more mature ig(?) But yeah i do understand you man thats why i'm rereading the manhwas or mangas from back then that doesnt have rape or bad things in it reply
honestly, i like yaoi mangas more- although the art in manhwas can be a bit more refined, i feel yaoi mangas actually give a good chemistry between the characters and the intimate scenes are more romantic and less hard core porn which i am seeing is becoming more prominent in korean manhwas... than the new yaoi mangas coming out. i mean no offense ...... reply
its becauze they all have the same damn plot and no character depth. without you relating or feelinf that they r a real perzon and they are almost perfect, it feels dull and boring. All of them (author) r not a good writer. reply
