No and yes.
I was reading a BL and thought to myself that I’m tired of smut. I wished there was a BL without any smut, only romance. I forgot shounen ai was a thing

these days i just skim through and read the dialogue esp when im really invested in the story itself, i get tired of gratuitous smut quickly and only really focus if theres a major plot point in it (love confession, relationship/dynamic change, etc). I find that i do this less with mangas, I guess because mangas are shorter and more to the point wh...... reply
I absolutely love it when the couple has been together for awhile and then they have a 3 chapter long smut scene. I feel like that is acceptable. If I’m in the mood for a p^rnhwa then I’ll purposefully read one but I don’t want a story with a good plot to have smut scenes every 5 chapters. A lot of them don’t turn me on. reply
I'm right there with you queen, gone are the days where we had good stories with a decent plot line and the characters just fuck sometimes nowadays we get porn with crumbs of an idea or a concept of a plot and I'm simply turned off by all the fucking It's so bland and unprovoking just thrusting and busting reply
Yes but is bc i actually detest authors nowadays bc they choose to draw smut yet they dont rlly know how to play it out so they just show them getting started at the end of one chapter than skipped to the next day in the next. Like at this point I just treat them like a fucking "all ages"

no like thats so understandable. there are multiple works that I initially read for the smut but stayed for the plot (like Mr A’s thingy). When the smut and story be too good, you just gotta hang on for life reply
Why do many readers on here extend more grace to the top in a BL manhwa than the bottom? And don't let the toxic and violent top have a bad childhood 'cause oh my daysss, they're gonna defend that piece of sh*t like they're being paid a serious BAG to do it.
nowadays when I'm reading longer works and there is like 3 consecutive chapters of smut I deadass lose focus and interest like where is the plot however omg when there is a build up I will eat that shit up but if it's like once every 4 chapters? they're all getting skipped like I'm sorry..
I have three recs for ya.
1. Foolish Omega Bound to the Rewind System

This honestly made me cackle. It's a short and sweet 85 chapter ABO with a stupidly hilarious cast. You don't need to take anything seriously (I'm serious, I swear this was made to make fun of tropes)...... reply
Disabled Tyrant's Beloved Pet Fish. Mostly fluff with a little face slapping. It's an easy read without a lot of worldbuilding.
If you're ok with mpreg, I recently read Dr. Jiang is Pregnant with his Nemesis's Child. The doctor rivalry in the beginning was fun. Some of the medical stuff was iffy, but it was a surprisingly good take on mpreg and th...... 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!
