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.
I haven't read a lot of the popular manhwas because of this. Always the same old bullshit in most of them. I do end up finding gold every once in a while so that's alright. The market is always gonna be full of unsavoury works because they cater to majority of the money spending readers' interests ig. reply
