You should be directing your grievances at the publishers and the readers. The readers love these stories, so, the publishers demand from the authors what the readers want and the authors provide provide what the readers want because they have to make money. A simple law of demand and supply.
you are so correct. Related to this, I think that the popularity of "redemption arcs" has done a lot of danger to readers, I've seen that people start a manga with awful characters and like them just because they know they "will redeem themselves", and at the same time I get the feeling that some authors like it that way (like mingwa or euja¿). Anyways, I completely agree with you, sometimes I forget that all this also involves publishers and demand jskshdjdj
I really need to know why is the obsession with sa so popular in bl. Sure, this was already clichè with the debt thing and a top who's rich, but you have something a little creative within it (the whole magical girl/game) why would you add the sa? do authors think it makes it more interesting? is it a fetish? and I know it wont be a thing for the manhwa, the bottom wont have any ptsd or other consequences, so whyyy???
I'm just tired, you can't read anything without it having sa as a subsubsubplot (and most of authors don't take it seriously). Anyways, maybe I am the one taking it more serious than I should¿
