You're right .
FOR REAL!!! I GOT A RECOMMENDATION THO
THIS
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/positively_yours/
The FL is a strong-minded, independent woman
Thank u so much! I need more string independent woman in my life (ಥ﹏ಥ)
Check out In Full Bloom. FL is an assassin, no romance.
"The lady and her butler" is a good start
The women in bl tend to be caricatured nuisance as well because most authors can't be bothered or ironically arising from the internalised misogyny of female mangakas (on rare occasions, there is a healthy representation of women in mangas such as "love so pure")
Give me your hands (webtoon) by the same author as No doubt in us. Both are amazing. No doubt in us also has an anime (Liang Bu Fi).
Give me your hands is a story of a famous actor who suffers from a crippling hand fetish (he is in clinical therapy for it) and meets a make-up artist with beautiful hands who also secretly moonlights as a hand-model influencer "most beautiful hands in the world".
You see this is why i HARDLY read straight romance shit anymore why do they always ALWAYS make the girls dumb and fucking annoying? Even IF they are the main character they act so fucking spoiled and entitled gosh I wish authors make more action manga/manhwa/manhua with either a good female character that doesnt need a man or a man character that doesnt fucking romance in his life. If they make romance i wish I JUST WISH they make it realistic and not overbearing cause istg I’LL LOSING MY FUCKING MIND
