Solaris's question page 2 (29)

Personally I don't read too much horror/psychological yaoi or stories in general beacuse I know what I can handle reading and can't and some of these topics are too dark for me but for those who read it how do you bounce back from it?
Whenever I read books with really dark topics I can't lie and say it doesn't make me feel out of it but I usually try and distract myself with not reading anything for a while etc. Does anyone else get affected by what they read or is it just me?

Something I thought about recently was how representation really affects what your reading
I was reading a horror/psychological manga and it included scenes of child grooming/SA/rape and what was so disturbing I that could genuinely relate some of these SA scenes to scenes in yaoi/bl stories and what's crazy is that one is horror and one is glorified rape but only one of them is actually seen as disturbing and the problems are actually adressed
Yes not all stories are constantly about representation and sure there are reader's who call out these disturbing topics and there are reader's who say fiction is fiction and both are their opinions so I'm not segregating them into morally wrong and right
But this just reminded me how depection really really changes just about everything

Stumbled upon a art school video and thought about how if anyone went back In time they should just send Hitler to art school (p.s only if killing was off the table)
And it got me thinking how scary it must be for isekai'd people in books to try to avoid a villain just to get them interested in you like this mf killed a bunch of people heartlessly and now decided it's your time , I would genuinely do everything in my power to run tf away never complaining again about the dumbass moves a character pulls to get away

I haven't read wet sand but I lingered in the comments to check if it was a good read and all I see is wabi Sabi and a lot of comments but I can't tell if it's hate or if it's good
Can someone give me a rundown?

What's the most book-like , rom-com movie experience you've ever had with someone you liked?

So your telling me I haven't done anything whatsoever that I told myself I would do this year and I wasted already like more than quarter of this year...? HahahaHHAHAHAHAHA NO IM NOT CRASHING OUT YOU ARE
But seriously these 4 months went by in a blast I can't remember a thing I did that actually made a genuine impact on my life

Reading romance really gets you thinking man I wish they just communicate , naturally I think communication is the most important in a relationship but I realised that's not everyone's first priority , its a subjective topic and also a lot of opinions on this topic also roots from past experiences but I'm just curious about what yall think is important when your dating someone

The question is pretty obvious but if you could read only one manhwa/ga/hua again for the first time ever which one would u pick
I'll go first by saying dreadful night

I think the question is pretty simple , I think it doesn't really for me? But to anyone who's experienced it how does it feel? Or believes it exists , why do you feel that way?
