“i love you so so SO much but i’m still gonna let you walk out of the door over a simple miscommunication that can be solved in less than three sentences, and we will probably not see eachother for multiple chapters even though I also have a phone… and feet and a car— if i truly wanted to see you”
“He’s never been with a man before so he might leave me for a woman someday.”
This one annoys the hell out of me for 2 reasons, one, does it matter who they leave you for? If they fall in love with another man, would that hurt less than if they fell for a woman? And two, why would you start a relationship thinking and expecting the worst?
And th Simone probably happens in other genres as well, but since I mostly read BL, I’ll just base it off that, and it’s the promised to a supernatural being.
It just bothers the hell out of me when the romance is kinda forced upon one party because of a “promise” an ancestor made. Additionally, a lot of BLs employ the “I was straight until I met you” plots, but those usually come about “organically” meaning there is no expectation of romance, it just happens. In these promised ones, since one party has an expectation of reciprocation, the other party will eventually reciprocate, which is very cockeyed.
Jinx right now, I guess? I know it will get better, and I don't mind it too much rn, cuz I know that's just how it is.
“I’m sorry for sexually assaulting you, I was just frustrated that you weren’t being honest/did something I didn’t like.”
It never gets better but I always gotta read till the end
Frail boy uke, Manly Man seme
There are of course gay people who are more feminine compared to their partners, BL just completely exaggerates that concept to the point that theres no point in the uke being a guy cause they're much suited as a Futa instead, one artste observable is the author who made "love is an illusion" they have one of their works where the uke has some actual manly features broad shoulders and etc then fast forward to a couple of chapter BOOM! MAN LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING SHOTA
The uke being a prostitute or ex prostitute is annoying. I run into that trope too much in manga
omfg this trope pisses me off the most. its even funnier when the author clearly wants the readers to empathize with the character by giving them a pathetic backstory about “my ex left me for—” as if that justifies their actions
like why start a relationship when you’re aware about your unresolved issues that you haven’t moved on from for 5 fucking years
That's me w 99.99% lovers rn
Fuck buddies.. to lovers
WHAAAATTT
It's common like. Uke like him but seme just there for sex.
Or
One sided love sex.
Or
Contract. To make love. N uke got money.
Or
Drunk.. but then oh no i can't forget our first time.. fuck buddies to lovers..
Or
omegaverse trope! Fuck buddies to lovers trope is used too often in when omega in heat╮(￣▽￣)╭but I still read it. Cause it'll get better. Maybe.
Now I feel kinda offended cause u named all the tropes that I like
Lollll you really called out the tropes but I love this one More common ones you’re probably tired of, but they’re my faves lol:
Enemies to fuck buddies to lovers
Two players/don’t want to fall in love but do
I’m personally tired of the rich dickhead seme/poor weak uke especially where the uke is bound or indebted to the seme. The power imbalance is icky and I usually end up disliking both characters. Dickhead seme gets a trauma background and treats uke nicely for two seconds and all past grievances (usually rape and abuse) gets forgiven and forgotten. Uke never grows a backbone. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
This trope is in 99 percent omegaverse stories :-)
Don't get me wrong I also read those lolol.
Fr they literally open up to each other cause they do it too often. Slowly falling for each other.
what do you guys think are the most overused trope and plots in BL that you’re tired of seeing but still read anyway to see if it gets better at the end
