I don't think reality is stressful. It's the opposite for me. I think reality is boring even though my life is pretty interesting, I guess? I lived in many places, tried out many different things, met a lot of different people ... You can express yourself in stories and you can learn about others in stories much better than in real life. But that's just my opinion.
Btw I write everything, my English is okay for writing comments on the internet but not for writing a novel, there are so many words I don't know. I coudn't even describe a field of flowers because the only flower I know in English is a rose. I like psychological stories, it doesn't matter if it's a love story (hetero, gay, bi) or a crime story. Horror, fantasy, sci fi - I write it all, but I'm most succesful with my hetero love stories even though I don't read or watch much hetero stuff. The irony ... Everyone is impressed if I say I'm an author, in reality it's a very difficult job. Yeah, I love it, but it's very hard sometimes. You write months and months on a novel and you love it deeply and then you try to sell it and people hate it. The works I loved the most were hated by my readers while the works I didn't care much about were loved. The most important question is always: What do people like? What do they want to read? It's the same with the manga we were discussing. I thought it was done pretty well, even though it was nothing new. I found it touching. Others think it's bad and stupid. I often feel like people don't get what I want to say with my stories, that's frustrating. But with over 100.000 sold books in two years I'm doing fine. I shoudn't complain. Someone told me once, there are readers out there for every book :P Hopefully that doesn't change.
You asked a personal question....unless you think profiling, in other words judging a person isn't personal. It's a question that is not easily answered simply by yes or no. You already said we are strangers and the convo hasn't been that long to arrive at that question....rapport hasn't been built yet you attack through something personal. And I don't know what isn't clear about what triggered me, I explained it literally.
I have no degree in psychology as well and I use it to analyze characters and often times on real people, too, but I don't use it directly on people at least not right away.
No its because you started ragging on this story (which I can see why some wouldn't like but I personally did) and viciously tearing it apart for no reason. Guess what? Maybe the author worked super hard on this and someone like you who has never written one doesn't have the right to just put it down like that. It's fine if you disagree with some mangas, but honestly you did it in a really disrespectful way. Also I've been best friends with with girl for three years now. Though I consider myself pretty straight, if she told me today that she was in love with me and never wanted to see me again because I'd unconsciously hurt her, I would do a double take and seriously consider if I could see her romantically. Who knows maybe I could? Clearly not every circumstance is like this and rarely can people be that understanding, but that's the whole point of fiction. I'm sorry you've never had a friend like that. Maybe that's why you lashed out at this the way you did.
I am just stating facts-
1. If you can collect knowledge about gay sex you may know most of them don't like penetration so they use other ways without going all the way.
2. If you love someone for 10 years and try to forget about them but all of a sudden they propose to sleep with you just for the sake of friendship not even giving a damn about your suffering, they are just satisfying their ego. So what will you do? Crush your self estimate and let them do what they want?
Ohh here comes the everyday overly cliche yaoi plot with unrealistic character development where in one of the characters magically falls for the other because WHY NOT ?? That is to say I am your best friend ...I never knew you held feelings for me for 10 yrs now...also I was straight to begin with but now as I have overthought things and I fear loosing you so I have come to the conclusion that I am gay ...and finally you know what I love you ....
Also rather than being thankful the uke goes all extra with the punch :..like wtf bitch u have just got your unrequited love come true and what's with this virginity shit ...man this was rediculous.
But on the brighter side we have beautiful art and uncensored D's yay...
