Poorly written side characters always focused on the main couple. Or whenever they have a side ship (bl/gl/straight) its just there for shits and giggles. But what I hate most is when some side chars who would help mc would just exist and nbgaf abt them now because author is too focused on mc and ml. Theres times where I get attached to side chars ......
Omg I get you with the first one. I hate it when the main character or male lead have no other relations/friends around them (unless it is a purposeful character point) and they only hang out with each other. It's giving codependency in the worst way and, as you said, takes away from the depth of the characters. I also dislike the trope where the......
I really hate when MC is just pretty much an old shoujo female protagonist with a dick. He has a face of a girl, with a petite hourglass body and is extremely weak willed and shy. Or the author makes them look like a little girl. To top it off ML is very abusive and manipulative. It’s like an old shoujo in disguise. Even shoujo nowadays isn’t t......
the fact that authors often write the most disgusting redemption arcs for mls (i am a victim to shitty redemption arcs, kiss me liar you bastard) it hurts when they do the bare minimum and bro goes "omg he's changed" no girl he just doesnt beat you anymore, thats it
On the topic of shitty redemption arcs. I need MLs to die or something. I think that needs to be a new redemption arc trope or something. I need more MCs going in for the kill. I need the last panel to be the ML bleeding out. Like shit, I don't not read bls with violent MLs. Thats on me hahaha.The ones where the ML remains tormenting the MC to th......
It can be really annoying when their's not even a single female character around the mc that is genuinely a decent human being and platonically loves and cares for him and all females he has around him are rude bitches who keeps throwing themselves at the ML. It seriously cringes the hell out of me. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
author forgetting original plot points that were only shown in early chapters, like in the midst of all the drama and fucking they forgot to make them go to their jobs or school, or just abandoning the original concept of the whole story
The rich ceo mfs all looking the same, its not just bls its also in straight romance genre cus tell me why when they said "choose your favourite ceo men" and they all look the same??? i cant find pics for example but just think of like 3 ceo men with like slick back black/brown hair. They also all share the same personality and its either super col......
Showing explicit sex scenes involving high schoolers. This is a criticism I have against like.... every medium of stories in general.... but it's particularly bad in bl. And before anyone says "but high schoolers having sex is normal" I KNOW THAT!!!!! Doesn't mean you need to show close ups of a 16 year olds asshole. I don't mind when it's like sem......
I'm sure it's probably mentioned but it doesn't seem like I see it often. But I am really getting worn TF out by all these characters who have sexual trauma from their past, or are currently being sexually traumatized via blackmail or horrible friend/relative/etc. And that's their character depth. That's the whole thing. They're abused so they nee......
Readers aren't yapping enough when it's the Bottoms that are groomers, assaulter, rapists, etc ... Step-brother troupe, raising ml troupe, teacher x student troupe is kinda iw too
Naaawh cus idc if you can "seperate fiction from reality" you still mad weird if you read porn about cartoons that look they got a madder case of botox baby syndrome than madonna and max height at about 4'5. Like mf NAWWWHH that aint your waifu thas sum kid you created off gachalife. Also same shit w/ BL like aint no way you in your grown ass age ......
Entertainment based on real serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer is unneeded (especially if the families victims publicly protested against its creation/ did not give consent) and people who openly brag about enjoying gruesome descriptions about how real innocent victim died are gross. It feels insensitive and disrespectful that they think liking stu......
Since we are in a site to read mangas I will talk about something manga related. Most popular manhwas have terrible writing. It’s just the same copy pasted trope with pretty colourful art and the art is what makes the manhwa popular. The more cliche your manhwa is the more popular it will become. It's incredibly hard to sell your manhwa whe......
Your BL criticisms that you don’t see many people bringing up?
