Y’all don’t even bother with this one. It ends in 4 chapters and has the most abrupt, nonsensical ending ever. My brain is still trying to compute it.
Seme is nonchalant all the time in their relationship. His emotions increase like 30% during sex but even then he just does Uke from behind then fiddles on his phone. Uke tells him he wants OUT so they drive to the beach like a little last date ever outing. Seme does not give a shiT and is like “ok you done? Can we go?”
They do it one last time and Uke asks to at least face eachover and semes like “sure I guess”. Nothing. Nada emotions.
Driving back, they get into an accident and both are transported back to the exact moment where they first meet.
Uke just lets it play out exactly like it did in the past. While seme doesn’t remember the future, he is overcome with ukes prettty face, not wanting to do it from behind because it’s like he’s wasting seeing his beauty. He thinks to himself that Uke is precious for some reason and his GUT is instinctively telling him to treasure him.
…anyway, they have good sex for once and Uke is like “oh my god maybe this could be our chance to redo everything!!”
And it literally ends there.
Fuck ass story.
Typical. Seme has been getting his cake and eating it too, flirting around with whoever he wants whenever he wants, but if Uke does it suddenly seme has a problem. Double fucking standards, the fact that uke is unable to do it with others is so cliche why do so many female bl writers do this?? It’s like they have an evil misogynistic version of remy from ratatouille controlling them when they come up with these characters
"evil misogynistic version of remy from ratatouille" is insanely accurate
It’s exhausting and I’m beginning to genuinely despise this trope because it’s genuinely the default in romance genres. The Fuckboy x virgin dynamic does absolutely nothing for me because I simply cannot suspend my disbelief that in anyway the relationship will last, would in fact be mutually healthy and respected, or the simple fact that cheating would not be involved. It’s so ridiculous a trope in practice especially from vantage point of a woman yet somehow it’s the golden standard for an entire genre written and consumed by them.
I just don’t understand why female writers would write characters like this in the first place. Is it meant to be a self insert thing? They add feminine traits to uke characters and then have them go through typical things that majorly women go through? Like…why would you create media depicting a character being treated like this and NOT clock that it’s internalised misogyny??
Having ukes getting constantly SA, They are male characters but for some reason they have the physical strength of an average woman and are hardly ever able to physically fight and defend themselves. Seme characters are more often than not entirely dominating them, controlling the sexual relationships fully from their own end..
It’s like they’ve taken the worst things about being a woman and have romanticised it..then applied it to fictional men
It’s so bizarre to me that Asian BL written, drawn, and portrayed can essentially be distilled to your point in how the majority of its visual representation genuinely see no issue in perpetuating misogyny, rape culture, and romanticizing abuse. It’s been there since the BL’s very first yaoi and does not look as if it will change in the foreseeable future. This is the genre, and I have to accept that. I understand it’s a cultural difference in comparison to my western understandings but in 2025, I have to just accept a pig is still a pig even with the pretty lipstick. I honestly just read shounen ai types because I have to actually truly dig to find content that doesn’t adhere to this standard within Asian BL.
