If you want to try out some adrenaline inducing fighting type of story I would probably recommend
-lookism: really really good but maybe hard to get into of your new to this genre since it has a lot of chapters.. but if youre used to reading a lot of chapters I would say give this one a chance!
- how not to die: it's really good and a hidden gem. It starts of kind of cringey imo bit this gets resolved by chapter 10, but the story turns hella good if you keep reading and the last few chapters are really good as well.
- how to fight: really really fk good also, with this one you need to get used to it a bit, since you have a lot of second hand embarrassment in the beginning. But don't let it turn you off, as you read more and more chapters it gets better and better and it's really good
These are just some I really liked, so I hoped it helped!!
I used to be just like you and I literally could not physically get myself to read anything other than bl, but I have in the past year or so been read and watching a lot of other things besides bl. Here are some of my faves!
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/i_love_amy/ - about a girl who is obsessed with this guy, she’s kind of crazy, but then she meets another girl named Amy and plans to kill her at first, but then they become friends, and soon to be something more
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/beauty_pop/ - this manga kind of reminds me of ouran high school host club, it’s about a girl who’s really good at cutting hair, but nobody knows how good she is, and there’s a group of hair cutting guys at school and they compeat with her, but it’s a romance
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/mashle_magic_and_muscles/ - one punch man x Harry Potter x black clover
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/beware_of_the_villainess/ - girl gets reincarnated in villainess body and everyone falls in love with her
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/mystery_to_iunakare/ - I ship the two guys in here so hard. The Mc is super smart and solves mystery’s
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/ojisama_to_neko/ - CATS AND TRAUMA XD
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_yakuza_s_bias/ - yakuza starts to idolize a boy group
Even after all these years I still haven’t found a shojo “romance” protagonist like Kiri. She’s my absolute favorite. So unfazed about everything, including her feelings. Even Haruhi couldn’t remain completely unfazed once she discovered her feelings for Tamaki.
Thanks for the recs. I’ll check them out.
I’m very, very picky with what I like.
Back in my younger days I read a lot more variety of stuff, but lately all I read is BL.
It’s not that I’m getting tired of it or anything, only that I’d like to have other topics of conversations. Usually I don’t bring up I like
BL unless it needs to be said.
I’m used to be ok with shonen, but after Bleach and Naruto ended, I I haven’t really seemed too interested in picking up any other “big” ones.
I have JJK in my back burner, but that’s about it. As much as I enjoyed AoT, I haven’t watched the final season or read the manga (didn’t care for the ending).
The only non-bl series I’ve read somewhat lately that I truly enjoyed was The King’s Avatar.
I’m tried Solo Leveling and I can see why people like it, I just couldn’t really get myself to like it.
I’ve been eyeing Omnicient Reader’s Viewpoint. Have heard good things about it.
I guess it comes down to this.
Any recommendations where there is no romance, or if there is romance the characters are not annoying about? Or if it happens, it doesn’t become the whole character’s personality?
Thanks!
