Here are my opinions [Ik people are gonna give me lots of hate and probably deserve it]
1. Inc*st makes any bl/straight couple manga/manhua interesting because of the psychological arc (eg, what made them fall for each other or what forced them into that relationship even though they were supposed to be family)
2. A good psychological bl/straight couple doesn't need romance
3. Confinement and kidnapping bls are my most favourite bl subgenres cuz they have beautiful psychological elements present and barely need any romance to proceed with the story
4. A lot of s*x in any bl ruins it for me. For eg, if the author has planned a very good plot with interesting fantasy elements then they should stick to those elements which will help the author creating the next chapter but filling every chapter with characters having s*x literally spoils my interest to read further cuz I get invested into the fantasy plot
5. Bl with zombie apocalypse are dumb because whenever the characters have s*x and even moan, literally no one, neither the people in shelter nor the zombies can hear them
6. Feminine uke is the worst approach an author can take because they are literally trying to change a man and woman's relationship to a seme and feminine uke to make gay bottom men feel less about themselves because I believe gay men are also men
7. Gay s*x is not empowering to women, bl genre is NOT empowering to women in any way it's just how guys fap to lesbo p*rn. (for eg, if a girl swears a lot, smokes a lot, drinks a lot ~ it does not make her an independent women who's empowered it just cuz some men do)
I don't think it'll count as an unpopular opinion but I don't like it when ppl are going to read a toxic manhwa/manga and then complain that it's toxic. It's supposed to be toxic, that's the point. And then say, oh this story romanticizes rape/dv when it's not. It's literally up to the person reading it they like it or think that it's romantic. Like for example, Nii-chan by Harada, ppl we're like 'ugh, romanticizing p3dofilia/grooming. When I got from that manga is that the man became like that bc of his trauma, bc he was also groomed. And he ended up doing it to another child. I mean, yeah, it's disgusting and it's also very real. And all they got was that Harada is writing p3dofile stories??? Huh, okay.
And also, when they'll willingly read stories with toxic romance and they don't like it. They will bash the author and the readers who happens to enjoy it. Like btch it's not for you.
My upopular opinion -
1- I like it when seme is the leading one in relationship and uke just play along also dominant one.
2- i like semes who are yandere and uke stay unknown to his behaviour even better plot for me.
3- i like toxic stories with less annoying uke's
4- i like reading forbidden stories especially whom people don't like much won't tell much about this part I m reader who read story only for seme uke sometimes if he is interesting.
I think I also have to agree, honestly if a story is written well and has disturbing themes I REALLY hate when people just reduce it to the disturbing themes, like what about the psychology and how interesting it is to see how the abused repeat the cycle if they don't get treatment in some way, but yeah your opinions are great
I wanna know ya'll unpopular opinions
