I've decided to move away from Lezhin due to their shady treatments of their content creators.
But sadly I'm finding the whole pay for coins system is a money pit. I've spent around $15 in the last week because I'm addicted to the stories...but ultimately I find that it's not really worth the cost for me.
Why? Because often times these new chapters are really short or unsatisfying. it's only really good when you're reading it all together as part of a large story....
so with that being said, do you guys have tips on controlling your spending on webtoons/manga/etc?
I'm feeling depressed, devastated and haunted by this sad shounen ai story I found last night. It was so beautiful and the art was just my style that I love...and then the ending is this absolute gut punch....
I'm having trouble moving on from it...anyone have any fluffy shounen ai stories to cheer me up?
I find it hard to read a lot of yaoi because the characters are drawn in this "samey" style with body proportions that are bit too big at times.
I mostly look for heartwarming stuff or fluff because I'm a sucker for "cute" stories... I need this material to fill the void in my soul!
I read yaoi when I'm horny oR TO READ CUTE FLUFF LIKE THESE http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/cinema_next_door/

http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/you_re_my_princess/
now this one is almost what I'm looking for ^
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/chu_zhong_yi_nian_ji/ This right here is so cute but it's been ages since it was updated.
Do anyone here have a good recommendation? I prefer stuff that doesn't have sex until the end because once they do it the story kinda fizzles out a lot of the time. But I'll give anything a try!

My friend has been actively pursuing guys this last year, he is better looking tall, white and has a decent job.
I'm also gay but have been forced to live with family due to foolish mistakes on my part in education. It's my fault and I brought it upon myself. I'm going back to school for a degree that can actually get me a job and I'm happy to have a goal to work towards.
But when he showed off his boyfriend...I was really surprised at how I felt. I felt not joy for him. But this dark pit of jealousy. I didn't feel hate for him or anything but...I had successfully buried the sadness that I got from being rejected by men (especially white men) away and his announcement just made the wound bleed again.
Why can't I be happy for him?
Black or white, doesn't matter, just get yourself a boyfriend who loves and cherishes you for who you are. It's ok to be a bit envious of him but just get over that and get a guy so that you can also show off too. If you're not ready for a relationship then you don't have to get a guy just for the sake of showing off or something, get a boyfriend because you like him and he loves you. Forget about colour, love is just blind, unless you just want a fling ;)
Same. I'm always being rejected by girls.xD but that's fine I guess, the right person will come, just focus on your goal, you wouldn't even notice he's there already. And it's okay to he jealous, but you NEED to stop it. Just tell yourself, "there's nothing to be jealous of. He's happy, and that's great for him." even if you don't feel genuinely happy, then keep telling yourself this and you might realize sooner that being jealous is not worth it :D
Why can't you be happy for him? Because you're normal. You're lonely, stressed, tired, scared and heartbroken. Don't add more conflict to your emotions feeling guilty about being jealous. You can do both: be happy your friend got lucky AND be miserable because you didn't (yet). You'll get over it when you start feeling rewarded for your efforts. For now, fuck both of them. Let yourself have a pity party for a few days and then move on. You're not being selfish and he's not being a douche, it's just a FLEETING unfortunate moment. You're not obligated to be their page, if you trust your friendship you can be honest and tell him you're very unhappy about your situation and it's too hard to hang around them by yourself, maybe the boyfriend has a friend?? You never know when your life will turn into a yaoi lol. Don't say anything if you think it will hurt your relationship, just lick your wounds in private and get back on your feet. You'll need clarity and peace for school, don't worry too much about finding a partner. It's a fucking hassle anyway.
Ikr, people should become more open minded, if they did then it would be easier to find the right man or woman for themselves. Restricting oneself to certain conjectures just makes it harder to find the fated person.
I m a girl and fair skin.I think it shoudnt bother me but I like white gay men over any other races even my freinds are like that.so I think it is just natural and doesnt have anything to do with hate.
It's just the ramblings of a sad gay guy. Once I started trying to date guys I experienced a weird sort of racism where white gay men were considered the gold standard. If I listed my ethnicity the responses I got would drop significantly.
It's created a very warped view about race and ethnicity that I wish I didn't have. Gay people of even different ethnicities treat white men like a prize to be won. It all makes me very sad and not hopeful for finding someone im attracted to.
I get it, ramble on until you feel better. I'm sorry I can't add anything of value to this issue. I haven't experienced any of this. I live in a relatively small city. There's no "gay scene" here, I've never heard of anyone rejecting anybody because of skin color, wtf. There are preferences, OBVIOUSLY, but it's more about looks in general, particular aesthetics.. aaand well I bet you know what else. Full disclosure, maybe I'm just being an unaware asshole because I'm attractive, but I'm pretty damn sure it's a good sign of a hefty pool of dicks to choose from if men in your hometown can be picky about the stupidest most unbelievably irrelevant crap like skin color. Right? Bright side? Did it work?
She might be pan...idk ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Lmao Pansexuals get cheese cakes, puffs, pies, patooties, you name it
You're worried you won't find love, you are jealous your friend got it etc.. same everywhere. Also people tend to judge upon looks.. why are you in a rush? Give it time, focus on your studies and things like love come eventually . Try tinder or a dating app if your family is strict. Good luck with finding love and happiness
What Is that?
I'm not sure if you're speaking about gay dating or dating in general, but discrimination based on one's skin color in the dating scene is nothing new. I'm not surprised to hear that the OP is experiencing something similar in his/her environment. I won't get into interracial dating in the US as many of us know that prejudices can be directed towards interracial couples, but it happens within other ethnic races, as well. My Indian best friend was using a Indian online dating service for a while, and one of the many qualifiers listed on people's profiles was skin color - ranging from honey wheat to chocolate, etc. Undoubtedly, there were definitely men who filtered out darker skinned-women. Pale/lighter skin is the standard of beauty for many people, so it's absolutely not surprising that some choose to prize these features in a partner/significant other, sadly enough.
You're not an awful friend! It's normal to feel jealous. You feel like he's got everything working fine but I'm sure your friend has had struggles too, you just don't know about.
And just stop comparing yourself to him. Just focus on you and you'll figure things out and it'll all be okay eventually. Fighto!!
Ugh, I get the personalities but I don't get the colour, like don't people love Hulk and he's like green for fuck's sake, I'd love to marry a purple guy or girl cause idgaf about anything actually as long as they have heart.
Lol instant self esteem boost. Good for you!
"But dirty horny men will say ANYTHING to get you to have s-ssex with them, don't flatter yourself" said the stupid side of the internet. Pay no attention. If you are safe, carry on. It does sound fun, but I'm just not looking for that kind of attention. Enjoy yourself!!
Anyway, holy shit. Racism is so fucking lame, I don't get it. I hope FNP just fucking survives that bullshit. There's racism everywhere, of course, but honestly the kind of racism in my country has more rooting in economic status and education levels. It's not "eww, dark skin". Not saying it's any better here, but it adds an extra layer of ridiculousness to be so superficial in the us, of all places.
Absolutely agreed, these things apply to any sort of human relationships. In this particular conversation I was actually being a little more specific about gay relationships. There's a huge factor that I'm not sure how it would "translate" to straight people: there was always a little voice in my head that told me I was destined to be alone because the odds of finding a partner were close to zero. The fear of loneliness is universal, but as a young gay nobody you feel like being single forever is an inevitable reality because what are the odds of finding not only another gay person, but a kind gay person willing to LOVE you? Seems too good to be true, so you start settling and/or getting desperate, just like FNP. All jokes aside, I was really trying to cheer him up, but there's just no way to guarantee things get better. You just have ti suck it up, keep yourself from making stupid decisions and try your best +1
Did I piss off all you colored guys. Happy.serves you right.
You FNP take a mirror and look at the first racist then delete my comment.
Not everyone on grindr is a dirty horny man tho and its a hookup app so..
I talked about grindr because its the most known and used app, and on any other gay app you will find Whites saying they don't want men of color to message them and being total jerks and racist to them.
Majority of White gays are trash so its nothing new or surprising
I swore that I rated it and put it on a list but I can't find it! I'm pretty sure it was under a shojo tag and some folk really wanted it to be a BL but it wasn't. The main character works as a police officer or detective (boyish looking, probably early 20s) and them finds a naked man in his bed. The nude guy then disappears and the main character is exposed to weird demon shit and then joins their department where the naked guy already works.
Does any of this ring a bell for someone?

Maybe that? TBH though I didn't read past the first chapter when I realized, despite it being by Asia Watanabe, it's not actually Yaoi.
My issue is that I'm sort of sick of Japanese manga for a lot of these because I keep seeing characters who look exactly the same. It becomes hard for me to get into the stories when the characters look so derivative.
Which is why I've really enjoyed Chinese and Korean webtoons as of late ,but I'm unsure if I should search for BL or shounen Ai. Perhaps I should look on sites other than Mangago?
Yaoi isn't bad, but I prefer stories where the relationship builds up. Yaoi can often turn into nothing but sex scenes...
anyways, how do you guys find these stories?
