Unfortunately, there's not a lot i can truly read. Let's say i check out 10 stories to read on the discover page for shounen ai (and mostly the art or summary catches my eye), maybe around 8 will contain rape, sexual harrassment or boderline sus dubious consent because it has become way too normalized. And most won't have the rape tag attached, which is even harder for me to sort through. This story was brutal for me, in the sense of how rape was displayed here. There were also almost no comments/topics warning or mentioning the rape scenes. (I usually go pages of comments just to try to see a rape warning) And due to personal trauma, rape is not my preference in stories. Yet it seems normal for most BL to include it, even in regular heterosexual stories.
Just wish it wasn't so normalized or at least more clearer for me to avoid!
Actually for me, when it comes to reading heterosexual romance stories, it’s very rare that I see anything to do with all that stuff. But it might be because the ones I’ve usually seen don’t include smut scenes or skip over it, unless you’re talking about the really smutty romance ones that mainly don’t focus on plot.
If you’re looking for ones that don’t include much bad stuff, you could try asking a question on the main page of the site for recommendations. Some that I’ve seen are:
Fools (manhwa)
Cherry blossoms after winter (although I haven’t actually read it fully yet, I’ve seen tons of posts and none about any rape things)
Heesu in class 2
19 days (bromance/shouenen ai)
Whose baby is it? (My fav. no yaoi scenes last I’ve checked and mainly focusing on romance and a cute baby)
Sasaki to miyano (shounen ai/manga)(pure cute love)
In my closet (diabetes for days)
Don’t forget that I like you
To be or not to be (historical/transmigrated)
18 unlimited (bromance/comedy)
Snail pond robber (cuteness to the max)
Modern wizard hunting project (witch x angel)
Secret XXX (workers who run a rabbit shop)
Ookami-kun wa kowakunai

These are only some that I’ve read and can remember, though you might have seen a lot of these since I’ve checked from the rankings of most popular stories I’ve read
Actually i would take my heterosexual stories comment back cause you're right, i meant more of the manhua that I've read (Chinese straight romance).
And thank you so much for the recommendations! It's been pretty hard finding stories without the bad stuff I'm avoiding! Mostly because I've just been searching by shounen ai. I've been trying to figure out if i could search up people's lists with stuff i would be looking for/avoiding, but i haven't figured that out yet lol
How do people actually enjoy reading this rape shit? Like holy fuck, and there's so many other shounen ai/yaoi stories filled with rape. They REALLY need to make the rape tag one of the first one you see among the rest when browsing.
