wah, time sure passes too fast, yes??
it's sure became complex as we became older and older,
I like it better when I find demon-about story.
heavy with high quality story
no bitch woman / man
exaggerate? no-no
I detest betrayal a lot
If so, there is rape - bitch - betrayal - suicide - affair / two timing - fucked story, it's okay for me but I need strong reason for her/him doing that.
oh I like it better when the story focused on a lot of good things,
i am as picky as you i just want good story good art lately i have started to like shounen ai more than yaoi dont know why though bt i like soft manga if there is too much sex even then i dont like whwn i like a manga like super lover and other sweet ones i just read them a thousand time i dont really know why bt has this happened may be i am getting old
me too its just too troublesome being picky ( ̄へ ̄)
bt u arnt even too old
idead we do become more complex with time, i remember this anime http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/tokyo_mew_mew/ used to be my entire world when i was 8 or 9 or smth, but now. . . #-.-) i can hardly believe how silly i used to be Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
hahahaha nice to meet you too i am older dear (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ i am 21
Hmm....I don't think I am a picky reader. At least not now. There was a time when I used to be. But, with time I understood, that if I want to expand my reading experience, I need to learn & read more. I believe that if you haven't read something bad or worse you won't understand the true value of a good thing or exactly how good it is.
For me, plot/story & the way it is carried out/expressed is EVERYTHING. That's all I ever care about & that's what I am picky about. I don't usually like - extremes of sex mangas like - rape, hardcore sex, 3P, BDSM, too much blood & gore, Bara, two timing, too much angst. BUT, if the story is good I am willing to overlook those dislikes. For example, I just mentioned that I don't usually like Bara. But, a really nice mangago user once recommended me a Full colored Bara Dj of Batman x Superman, which was extremely sweet & sexy. Well, It's not like I suddenly started to like Bara, but now, at least I don't cringe on finding out that the manga I am interested in is a Bara. Just like that, if a rape manga shows that the rapist is punished OR he shows regret,remorse & redemption OR if the rape victim is not forced into a relationship with his rapist, I might come to like it.
Art is also a big plus point for me. I am weak to beautiful detailed art. Even if a manga has a typical/common story, with breath taking gorgeous art, I might be willing to overlook a few stereotypes :P
What I absolutely dislike/never pick up/re-read in a million years is a manga
full of just sex to satisfy the readers for the sake of fan service with absolutely zero to non-existent story. I try to forget mangas like this right after reading them.
I read everything too,i just drop it if it gets too bad, that's why i'm so picky now. When the characters are done bad, it feels like they live just for sex,.
Problem is most yaoi forces sex too soon or too much just to satisfy the readers. I don't know which i like less, the no plot - sex, or extremely lame not believable plot - sex
u are older how old?????
for me you always seem to be a cute lil kid ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Lately i've noticed that i am an extremely picky reader. That is, for me to enjoy a manga or book, it absolutely MUST have well developed characters.
It's becoming more pronounced as i get older, if the chars aren't well done and don't have psychological deepness, i end up subconsciously dropping mangas and stories and never going back to them┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
And if i do finish them i pretty much forget what it was about in a week.
On the other hand the stories that managed to pass that high criteria, i remember and love no matter how much time passes. I end up immersing myself in the story completely, and more often then not, end up falling in love with the characters (both male and female). They become so incredibly dear to me
As you can prb guess it's quite a big problem for a yaoi fan, testament to that is the fact that there is not a SINGLE yaoi manga that managed to pass that high criteria (a few shouunen ai's did tho (edit: just for references sake, the only shounen ai that managed to do that completely is No. 6, i love those two so very very much ╥﹏╥ ))
i still read yaoi despite that tho(● ̄(エ) ̄●)
Well there's not much helping it and i'm trying to stop doing that and to at least tag the mangas i stop reading as discontinued so i know what i've read
So i'm just wondering, how picky a reader are you and what are you the most picky about ?
(sry for my rant (⊙…⊙ ) it's been on my mind quite a lot lately)
