opinions

I remember seeing a list about this

Here https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangalist/911011/

wow, it's vindicating to see so many bls i always hated be in there the op is actually sane

omg, the opinions are so valid too

when i saw lucky paradise on the list i actually felt seen

finally a sane mgg user

for this list, there's some i agree with, some i don't. reading is all about personal preference, at the end of the day.

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. As you said, reading is a personal preference but people who expects rainbows and unicorns in bls tagged as psychological ones are airheaded.

Ennead??? Missing Love?? can't believe they're on this list...

Psychological doesn't mean romanticizinng rape abuse and other toxic shit either and people are allowed to dislike that shit

Haven't read Ennead but missing love is just torture porn

omsim bro, that toxic shit is so deeply integrated within bl plotlines to the point where it gets normalized and even praised. i think most readers forget the fact that the psychological genre is only meant to explore the motives behind a character’s fucked up actions, not for us to emphatize with their shitty ass.

LOL. Please. Did I even say something about rape, abuse, and toxic shit? I said "people who expects rainbows and unicorn" in psychological stories, not people who don't want rape, abuse, and toxic shit.

This is the very root of mental health crisis. They advocate mental health but don't want to go deep and act shock when psychology isn't rainbows and unicorns. Almost the same kind of people who thinks it's all in the head. This is what I mean because I do agree that some bls are torture porn disguised into a psychological piece.

Oh yes I have so many psychological manhwas I like that's not trying to justify any of the shitty protagonist's actions but while reading a psychological BL there is like 99 percent chance it's gonna romanticize something toxic

Oh I thought you were talking about this list I linked below since it had psychological BLs as well and most of them are romanticizinng problematic things. I personally have never seen anyone expecting unicorns and rainbows while reading a psychological BL though.

Cherry blossom after winter ? Finally a mgg user that understands me

Sometimes, I experience what you mean. It always happens when I read mainstream stories I initially avoided which have been around for quite a period of time already and I finished them or caught up with the latest chapters, I was like "This is it?"

So I tried to analyzed what causes this and I think it is because they are stories I would label as "You had to be there" ones.

For example, when I was 9 years old, I adored a very mediocre story in Wattpad just like other girls and that story is popular until now. New readers would b e like "Whaaaaaat?!" so nostalgia plays a huge part especially when it is one of their first story in that genre. But maybe in some case, people just like a story because it is their (questionable) taste.

I encountered a lot of them in FB and T!kTok comments and I am so tired of seeing them I could cry. An example goes like:

Plot: BL is about MC and ML hunting down someone together and focused on criminal stuff. No sexual implications—a slow burn.

Idiot 1: I am so tired of this story. How long until they have to find the criminal? I kept scrolling through chapters to know if we're getting any smex soon.
Idiot 2: Right? Why can't they just hug and kiss and fuck each other and call it a day? I would like it more if it is focused on romance and action is only a side thing.

Just kill me.
