I think they do it in yaoi more than yuri but yeah I get it.I mean it's a fiction but still that is just too unrealistic for me.... Like what do you mean she is a girl just cross dressing.
History has many examples of women successfully cross-dressing as men, its not that unrealistic. Either way, I don't think the author cares about realism it it is literally set in the MC's fictional webnovel. I can't remember if the cross-dressing subplot was in the MC's original webnovel or one of the ways the characters are different from her webnovel but I think it works for the manic gay soap opera tone of the story. This is one of the gayer manhwas currently being published so its a little silly to come looking for heterosexuality here.
Look sorry if I offended you ok I have no problem with cross dressing. What I meant to say that the author wanted to make everyone gay here like you said tried to set the manic soap opera tone so the only way author was able to do that was make the male lead actually a girl who was cross dressing to make him seem like a man and I'm not trying to find heterosexuality in a gl or bl manhwa. I just was replying to the other person that sometimes the authors do it a little too much.
I get your point but ig it doesn't really matter here because the story itself doesn't have much logic or realism involved although it's kinda weird that after completing the story setting the author reveals ML to be an FL actually and feels like a forced plot twist
That is exactly what I was trying to say it just felt so forced beacuse the author tried to make it look like a plot twist but if it was shown from the start that it was something the novelist aka the the black haired fl has added to the novel for extra drama and we readers have known that but not the other characters it wouldn't have look so weird... I hope you get what I'm trying to say.... [My English is worse than an elementry kid]
That "ML is actually a girl" subplot is soooo unneeded imo, why couldn't she just be a guy? I can take hetero couplings in yuri/yaoi, it's better than making every single character gay. If it weren't for that fact that straight couples are the only one who can procreate I think author would've turned even the parents gay lol. I'm menhera but not crazy enough to forget that most humans are straight.
