Fellow elder here, I feel your pain as I also reentered the sphere a couple of years ago. I’ll drop a few of my recent faves below, happy hunting!

it's been 6 years since i've last touched read manga/manhwas, moreso yaoi or shounen ai. i started reading in middle school, and now im a full grown adult working my ass off, having no time for bs plots. i NEED peak recommendations.
by peak, i mean, plots that dont center around sex, and has actual substance, yearning, angst - you get the gist.
I'm not a big fan of reading without visual drawings, but since some stories update too long and I'm such an impatient person I try reading the novels to see what happens next.I tend to give up reading pretty quickly since imagining a lot hurts my brain. But this time I actually manage to push through and damn what an experience. Reading the seriou...... reply
Staying quiet once doesn’t make you fake. Sometimes you freeze or don’t react because it’s not worth the drama. But if ignoring it clearly isn’t sitting right with you, that’s your sign you know it was wrong and you don’t wanna keep letting that bs slide. You don’t gotta argue with her or try to change her, but you can call it out whe...... reply
Talk to your brother. Tell him first that you want to do this and that, he should know how and can give you an insight how to deal with her girlfriend or if you can correct his girlfriend. Don’t casually correct his girlfriend coz she might twist the truth and will get offended and make you the bad guy.
If he gives you the signal, find the oppo...... reply
Honestly maybe the only way to do it in this kinda situation would be to approach the next time with "genuine curiosity", as in when she says stuff like that to be like "oh why do you think that?" and just keep questioning whatever she says and show the fallacies in her logic. But i would talk in a genuinely confused tone so she can't act like you'...... 1 reply
tbh i have never been in situation like this and it must suck having her close to you (via brother) all the time
i personally would avoid her at all cost and wont stir any unnecessary drama but i can tell you are fed up by her behaviour... i think it's for the best to let her be and try to ignore her... i know its hard but that would be the health...... 1 reply
My brother's girlfriend (27) sucks but he's got mommy issues so I gotta be nice to her or I'll won't see him as often cause she'll avoid me and he's her slave. I have to be nice to her but she says horrible things and I feel like it's disrespectful to my values to ignore. Whether it's bullying her mom into drunk driving to get her ice cream at 1am or calling girls sl*ts and wh*res because she's insecure about her body. (not an assumption, she said she was insecure before insulting these women for an hour) I am disappointed I just stayed silent and didn't react at all when this happened last time but I've never stood up for my beliefs before. I don't like that about myself and I want to change and this is a good opportunity to practice.
How do I casually and calmly correct someone without making them hate me? It's mostly for myself and the people around us because I don't think she'll ever change.
And notice how there are always new words to bash women like birds, pick mes, white lotus (I think) etc but nothing for men ? And how so many insults towards them like son of a bitch, pussy, manwhore etc are still against women. 2 reply
fr you are right ive noticed that too... ive also noticed that people love the male character in mangas/animes much more, even when the fucking character is the worst ever written character that is also a bitch and annoying, whilst in the same show the female character is overshadowed and usually have much better and deeper character writing

No You're not overreacting because you are right. Everything has always been about Men. And Men on social media is why no one loves men and men have a loneliness epidemic. This is how you know sexuality can't be controlled because women are straight against their will. Men should be castrated at birth and earn their penis. It will solve 99% of the ...... reply
goth onlyfans creators aren't a problem men sexualizing a culture and being creepy to goth ppl r cancel culture is stupid and doesn't work and some things ppl get canceled for is just mistakes of youth not actually being a bad person commentary youtubers are just ppl propped on a pedestal for bullying other ppl women dont need to cover up men need ...... reply
You can feel how you want, but this feels like an over correction in response to the sympathy people have towards gay men. No party is more pitiful than the other, women who get into loveless marriages are already following the contract for cishet monogamy. It's standard, not something extra heinous. It's a sad situation on both sides, yes, but tha...... 2 reply
lately, quite a lot of scanlators kept uploading repeated chapters on a lot of manhwas, like i'd be scrolling down and i'd see 3 versions of chapter 4 or something and it's from 3 different scanlators too.
and i was even thinking of reading a new bl and then looking at how the chapters were uploaded, i was like, "fuck nah, i ain't reading ts."
and there would be some readers that would comment about it and some that would argue that, "you should be grateful cause at least they uploaded" yea fuck no.
why is everything about men?? even memes revolve around men these days, ''son'' ''bro'' ''brochacho'' ''bronion'' yeah okay ''bro'' is gender neutral but when i say ''girl'' you correct me that you're a guy? yeah i can see that you're a fucking male matthew shut the fuck up maybe i'm just projecting but are you guys seeing the vision
Using symbolism, illusion, angst, or featuring hard topics, nary makes a story deep or interesting. They're just slightly more competent than their peers. A lot of these "serious" stories usage of literary devices are shallow at best, and absurd at most. Media literacy also includes not accepting what the author gives you 1 reply
'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
