unpopular take: yaoi is a cash cow genre
I feel like when I read yaoi, I would know or feel when it's made for money. To be a cash cow...
See...I'm tired of reading yaoi with the same face syndrome. And that weird yaoi proportions. Like give me real men body proportions or atleast don't make them look like they had a whole box of creatinine this morning.
Also where's the diversity? Skin white as my discharge oh my god.
And with too many holes in the story. And just them sucking dicks and fucking in the first chapter. And 7 chapters of just them fucking and the rest 3 chapters are just the story rushed. Too fast paced like two virgins rubbing dicks with each other.
And just the same story plot all over again...ahem ahem korean yaois ahem ahem.
It's like some authors stay on their chairs thinking all day about their next big hit, but really it's just the next big shit.
I feel like yaoi is just a cash cow genre nowadays that's why they're all SHIT.
To be fair this isn’t only in Yaoi but in other genre. Stories are repetitive that you seem to be reading the same series but different author. They lack creativity. Finding a real gem is difficult.
and when you’re looking for something good, readers will overhyped it, only for it to be a total shit.

Smut, gay and straight, has always been a cash cow. Especially with selfmade authors posting on LZ, TT and so on.
Anyway. Maybe you should filter by tags, read descriptions and check pages for artstyle. It makes things MUCH easier.
Literally 90% of what you mentioned can easily be solved by avoiding the smut tag and read what the plot is. Which I ...... reply
"Skin white as my discharge" you're funny I like you
Tbh I'm rereading old bls and switching to novels, I swear you get delicious plot and hot sex at the same time I don't know how they do it. I think authors just find plot bls a risky area since you have to put alot of effort in them and still make it worthwhile but when it's smut you just draw ...... reply
no disagreements with the complaints here. in fact, you could extend them to other genres beyond just bl. it's a consequence of the low-investment, click/profit-driven webtoon/web publication market and the lack of other avenues to develop, support, and promote a greater variety of things beyond these same-y, derivative stories just meant to pump o...... reply
Well, actually some other genre's too, like the villainess trope, weak to op, system, dungeon, harem and isekai, if it's bl then rich x poor, omegaverse, fwb, guideverse. Sometimes it's so generic and cliched overused plot that you can already predict what will happen next. But the thing about it is that people or readers dig that, so it works well...... reply
But I think most media can be put through the same criticism. If you look on kindle the most popular books, you'll find lots of slop, unoriginal and "fast food" literature. People say the same thing about music, paintings, clothing, makeup etc everything became a microtrend
The authors need to pay the bills and I don't blame them for doing what's ...... 1 reply
That's not ridiculous, that's not ridiculous to say that, AT ALL.
