I’m an avid manga reader during my 16-22 years old. Then uni happened and I just kinda read here and there and stop altogether. Then covid hits and I started reading again when I was 26 and been reading since.
I think, sometimes you dont have to force the connection you have with the materials or the act of reading itself. Get yourself a break, find a new hobby and come back once in a while to get yourself fill with the manga/manhwas. I think the years I didn’t read helped me alot cause I was missing a lot of things so I jumped into very manhwa i can.
Breaking away/reduce your time reading doesn’t necessarily sacrificing your hobby to your adult life. You gotta live both.
My most unforgettable piece is probably Bokura Ga Ita, Dengeki Daisy, Raeliana and for bl I have soft spot for Japanese BL.
Man you got me. I know what it feels like, I'm literally living those feelings right now, nothing really worth read anymore.
There's a lot unforgettable masterpieces, if I would choose one of them it certainly would be, purple hyacinth. (For better experience read at webtoon)

Here is my gems:

(there's a lot more _mostly my yaoi ones_ but I didn't put them in a playlist yet.)
I would really appreciate it, if you could recommend something great to read (any genre except yuri), what's your unforgettable pieces?
Hi guys, I’ve been reading bls for almost a decade now and lately I seem to have hit a slump.
I used to spent so much time reading different mangas and manhwas (sorry to say, never really got into manhuas), no matter how difficult to read the translation seemed to be, not caring about the quality of the scan or sometimes even the story. As manny, I assume, I grew up on wattpad and somehow ended up here (you know the whole pipeline right?) end well somehow years went by and i continued reading everything i got my little rat hands on.
Through out the time I outgrew some of mz interests but with reading bls it was always different. It was my comfort and my escape, the thing I looked forward to every evening and in the end it became such a core part of me that I couldn’t imagine ever stopping. And now here I am. Since the beginning of the year I finished 8 manhwas, 0 mangas (I basically stoped reading those in 2024) and now I feel like Im not sure if I want to start something. Or more like, I want to start something so bad, but I cant bring myself to.
I hate reading ongoing stories, im binger to the morrow of my bones. But there were some stories that I patiently waited for the updates (I actually still do for like 2 or 3), and they kinda defined some parts of my life. But now it’s not the same. I feel like ive read everything thats worthwhile, im more picky about the topics and quality and just all in all I dont have the same passion. And thats what I miss the most I guess. In the last year ive gone through so many changes in my life (friendships, schools, fr becoming an adult and a functioning member of society… just the general growing up things) and not all of it was bad but I think I kinda lost the sense of my self? And this was my safe space all along.
I dont want to give this up for some boring adult life, I love it so much! But it just doesnt feel as good as it used to and whenever I come back to this site, that I literally spent so much of my life on, I feel like a stranger. And I want that feeling back.
So here goes my question I guess: whats that one life changing, mind altering or just simply comforting or unforgettable piece that will always have a place in your heart?
