I know that almost dying and literally being comatose can mess with your brain and the fact he was bleeding out and haemorrhaging just means that his brain didn’t get enough oxygen and therefore parts of his brain is dead. I get all of that. Scientifically, it makes sense. Romantically, it’s heartbreaking and we get to see a redo of their love story. BUT I STILL HATE IT! Every single yaoi romance author either uses amnesia, SA, controlling and abusive ex’s, power harassment and imbalances at work or homophobia and I’m so tired of it. Even miscommunication is overused but that’s not only just yaoi authors that do that one. I just want one book where shit happens and they realise “damn… the last thing I thought about before my ‘death’ was my lover and I can’t imagine living or dying without them by my side, holding my hand” and they live happily ever after and have extra chapters to prove it. That’s all I want. It’s not a big ask. All you have to do is chop out the 20 chapters of bullshit tropes you’ll normally use and just replace them with love and joy. That’s it. It’s just that simple. Please authors, please just give us a little something more to be happy about.
