Guys let's talk BL manhuas. I feel like when we're usually talking about BLs and their storylines and elements we're mostly talking manhwa or mangas, but why not talk more about manhuas and what they bring?
I feel like I've built up a bias towards manhuas even though I enjoy BLs across the board and I wouldn't say one is better than the other, I think I just enjoy a lot of the elements you can come across in manhuas like either, martial arts & cultivation setting, ancient China setting, Chinese mythological figures, Chinese idoms and I think I prefer the comedy in manhuas and chinese mediums though that may just be because of 19 days, SVSSS, and the donghua You Yao. And I remember when I was younger and new to BL I wasn't that into smut so I was more interested in manhuas because of you know censorship and I also liked how because of censorship the romance may also be written to be more ambiguous, that's something I highly enjoy.
Though my scope of BL is very limited as I don't consume lots and lots of BLs so you guys may have different views. What are your guy's views on BL manhuas? And what do you think they add to BL?

As a younger gen z I was quite shocked with the realization that some gen z-ers are already nearing 30. It's weird to me because I hear headlines saying things like 'what the young people notice' (young people being gen z) and about gen z ideologies, values, movements and I think 'ok.. Ig this is my generation' thinking the people referenced in those are of a similar age range to me, but then realize that some gen z's are already in their 20s, some nearing 30s.
The older gen z's have been adults for a few years and already been establishing their worldview, voice and outlook on life, that it made me feel like gen z and the era of gen z is already defined, and that we're now anticipating the next generation, gen alpha, and what they'll be like. But I've realized, I'm of the younger demographic of gen z, and I haven't gotten my claws into the world yet, try to bring my own influence, feul the things I find value in, have the world bare witness to what I want to say or implement how I would act on things I care for.
I thought gen Z is already defined, but then realized the world has yet to have the younger gen z's take front stage. And I, as a younger gen z, want to be of influence not by posturing myself as more socially aware, demeaning people or things to signal I'm morally/socially superior, or to part take in a form moral outrage for social reward, but to instead have the world bare witness to how I choose to carry myself.
Anyway those are my thoughts after growing up with all this 'Gen-Z' noise and now on the cusp of taking on the world.

Do you guys prefer seme protagonist or uke protagonist in your BLs with top/bottom dynamics?
For me I prefer seme protagonist. Whether the bottom is dominant or the seme is dominant, or the bottom is submissive or the seme is submissive, the bottom is proactive/passive or the seme is proactive/passive, I would overall prefer to be in the seme POV.
Maybe I'm influenced by most BLs being uke protagonist so I want something different, but I also find I like to be in the perspective of loving the bottom, or noticing the bottom or reacting to the bottom. I also think being in the seme pov allows the uke to be more interesting in a way I'd care about and be treated by the story in a way I'd find interesting. And I don't like POVing the bottom as they react to or are chased/lusted/loved or yearned after by what are the audience's ideal man (top) in their ideal romance storyline.
What POV do you guys prefer in BLs with top/bottom dynamics? need opinions in reference to BLs with top/bottom dynamics. yes ( ° ʖ °)
