!!! This is true in like every genre too... /looks at several of the most popular yaoi/
For me, I also hate how after treating the MC like traaaash, if the ML is suddenly nice after “falling in love” the ML defenders will yell about character development as if that excuses everything they’ve done? Sometimes the ML’s personality does a whole 180 in a few chapters like... babe that’s not character development, that’s a personality disorder.
This!! Finally someone said it TT i’ve fought so many on this site bc they’ll literally defend any man just bc he changes a lil as if that makes their past shitty actions disappear. And i wanted to mention some names from yaoi mangas that this happens to but honestly that almost every yaoi manga sonce the ml’s are always shitty ppl and fans always excuse their actions
Male leads in reincarnation manhwas are the definition of pretty privilege bc they do the most disgusting shit to the fl before her reincarnation but a sprinkle of their past trauma suddenly excuses all of their actions and everyone defends them like they’re paying ur bills, all this just because he’s hot
