If you mean his body was hot that I understand but This isn't hot and definitely making SA look cool isn't right! The guy did this to him without permission and he wasn't in right mind.

Yeah, that's what I said? The drawing is hot. The artist is great at making drawing attractive characters, is all.

Thanks and I guessed you didn't mean anything. It's just there's so many people who enjoy reading/seeing people getting SA'ed and R*ped and I'm sick of this situation.

Hm, I think it changed a lot these years though? I remember back then, ugh, every yaoi from the 90's and 2000's was rapey (those were the only translated ones) so I never really liked it, I always wondered what the appeal was in this so I'm glad the Koreans know how to give some more plot to their stories, the Japanese manga be it josei or yaoi, they still have lots of sa in it, it has changed, it became better but I remember it influenced me a lot when I was 11, I legit thought it was normal if somebody did that to me, one bad thing about manga I guess.
Anyway, i know how to separate fiction from reality now obviously so yeah, honestly the ones who worry me most are the guys who read action shouted stories and think that suddenly they can do that too and get away with it, also how they always focus on "mommy milkers" every time a girl character is seen, like at least in here we know how to talk about the actual chapter, what happened, we have actual conversations...etc sigh, anyway, im just so glad for the existence of women hhhh. Ah though these are just generalities I've noticed in sites with more guys and sites with more gals, still, girls do tend to take things a bit too seriously, it's okay to discuss, just don't start fighting an actual living being, for a non existent, fictional character.
While guys only focus on 2 things ..disgusting. though sometimes the fact they're not too serious is funny, still the disrespectful behavior towards women even the fictional ones is just too much.
What were we talking about again x'D

Yeah, I know what're you saying. But we know Women aren't perfect too and the fact I saw so many disgusting comments from Women It is really disappointing as well and They're not really different from Men's comments. For me, there's no gender rules for being a disgusting and horrible person But I understand we see more of this horrible action among Men than Women.
I just Wish the Authors of BL change this horrible routine of SA and R*pe because it becomes normalize among people.

Women usually project themselves onto the uke so the authors who draw rape and sa probably do it because they have a kink of themselves. Sucks for gay men tho, they’re stuck with having mostly that for representation in bl. There is definitely a huge difference in women and men when consuming gay content. Women don’t act violently towards gay people afterwards or try to have sex with gay men to “fix them”. Some women do behave weirdly when they see two men together but most do not. Those behavior are creepy but can easily be ignored.

Adding onto my first thought. That’s why you see rape and sa getting shrugged off (minimizing how a victim would actually feel) in bl so much because it’s not even thought of as a bad thing cause it’s probably a kink for many of the authors.

Yeah it is sad, I did see some mean comments, truthfully I just block anyone who says disgusting, gross sh*t!

Wait seriously?? I thought we all liked yaoi cause we could finally see subby men, and pretty men at that, you don't get that a lot, though we don't have prettier ML's nowadays so I'm glad, and they've become really submissive so tbh I only very rarely read yaoi, like the plot has to be awesome or funny or interesting to me, and a guy in an otome game is super funny and interesting imo.
Um, honestly I always looked at the uke, they're so cute and sweet, I don't care much for semes usually, only the one from Dangerous Convenience Store, that guy is such a green flag, my first time ever feeling attracted to a seme character, since as you said, they're usually very rough and we don't know much about what they think, I prefer the uke who's so upfront about their feelings, im glad more josei and shoujo too hopefully, are getting more men with emotional stability and intelligence, and that some of them only let their guard down next to their loved one, they don't try to act tough and be sadistic with the one they love, which is basic for romance, also, I don't really see much romance in anything anymore, josei are now about surviving a revenge plot or smth, yaoi's you get stuck in dungeons and the seme is a dangerous psycho who definitely hates you, ugh, where is the romance?!?!? Seriously, if you have anything with actual romance, like we see them getting to know each other first...etc, I know only one manhwa where I genuinely understand why anybody would be attracted to our MC cause she's amazing, it's that one woe and fortunate one or smth, smth about a villainess again I think, except she's got an actual personality and she's really attractive personality wise, I understand completely since even I wished to stay near her, oh and the one from When The Villainess Loves, kyaaa this one I loved her so much seriously, she's so cool, oh and the one from the emperor's daughter, that one I just genuinely think she's a great character, she doesn't have super powers and sh*t which I appreciate, it's really just a story about a loving family and that's so nice, of course we still have some nice plot points, I read it ages ago but it's still really nice, these are characters that I could definitely understand how and why anyone would feel attracted to them, they are actually great in their own different ways, while the others, it just seems like it's a coincidence they fall for one another, like, why does she like him? He's handsome, why does he like her "she's different owo so interesting, a grill who slaps me woah, so hoott" tsk. Give me an actual love story darn it.
Also the ones from the villainess flips the script, be it Judith or Ruediger they're the only couple I just get, they actually know each other, and Judith is very aware of her feelings for him, she's so smart haa it's awesome how he is also aware and treats her special, just doesn't know how to say it, and once she asks him he's just very upfront and straight forward about it, finally, actual romance with two grown adults who are green flags, no dense protagonist ah thank God!!!
It just feels so good I genuinely wasn't prepared for her to just straight up admit her feelings so early on as well, haa I love that author

Oh and I found it, it's woe or fortunate, for better or for worse!

Yes, some people (who are attracted to men) will naturally project themselves onto the uke. And I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of bl writers do this lol. Which honestly explains a lot. I also read bl mangas for fun, I don’t take it as seriously as reading bl novels and queer books in general. The only Josei and Shoujo manga I read are the historical ones, love the art in them. I agree, there are mangas out there that lack romance between the fl and ml. Love at first shit shit is so boring to me. Give me real chemistry. I also hate when ml is a piece of shit but is nice to only one person - the fl. Like why can’t ml be respectful to all women and human beings? Also it irritates me when like 4 people are in love with fl. It’s just lazy writing to me. It’s like the author couldn’t give those character’s their own dreams, interests, personalities, and love life so they made them all madly in love with the fl. It’s like they’re just eye candy.

I try to find interesting bl mangas but there’s so many that are just porn with little plot. I mostly read novels instead of mangas so oh well, but I feel bad for strictly bl manga readers.

Really? It had never crossed my mind that authors would do this, I always thought they just like drawing pretty and handsome boys, or just guys in general since so many yaoi just have male characters lolol, everyone is a guy, the teacher, students, people outside hhh, just a world of bros!
XD it's always funny to me looking at the backgrounds ngl, tryna find just one fellow girl hhh, oh and I didn't know that the novels are better plot wise? I guess it must seem obvious, still since I've been reading mostly manhwas nowadays it's just too addictive, manhwa art is simply splendid, I love especially another one with a villainess, and she gets the villain princess on her side and they're just so powerful together and it's like just women supporting women ah a dream come true, it's so healing to read it, there is no jealousy just fellow gals being friends aahh a dream I've had since I was young, ugh, so many girls in my country give you dirty looks just for existing, usually millennials, so I'm so glad for Gen Z be it the guys or the gals, we're so perfect x') seriously, girls and guys just smiling at you and being polite, without trying to use you for their benefits or whatever, ah just humanity TwT srsly I was so happy and felt so wholesome, I wish we could all get along like that, with animals and plants as well, and treating our mother earth nicely too TwT
Oh and same I also want a buildup romance, or at least if it's a first sight kinda thing, give us an explanation and a reasoning for it, are they both just attracted by like each other's aura or smth? Maybe they have been seeing each other in other places or smth, it needs to be reasonable, or give me a seduction plot you know, and a fun one, not manipulative like those "alpha" snobs, what did the Greek alphabet ever do to them?

The books/novels go into a lot more detail than mangas. The world-building is also better, stories are more plot focused rather than porn. Though I do understand the appeal of mangas, I read them too. And there are many bl mangas with good plot. The exclusion of characters identifying as anything other than a cis man doesn’t bother me (cause I tend to ignore it) but it would be great if that changes in the future. And honestly even the characters who are men aren’t that diverse like what about disabled men, asexual men, and many others. Why can’t both men in a bl manga be feminine, cute and pretty? I could also go on and on about the misogyny in some bl mangas and how disappointing it is considering how many of the writers are women themselves but i’ll stop lol.

I also like when the fl becomes friends with the villainess or og fl. Like genuinely don’t understand why they’d fight over a man. I read a gl where the main character transmigrates into a game and she’s in love with the villainess. She fangirls over her but never forces her love into her, she’s content with being friends. But honestly is this only shown in love stories, why can’t a women fangirl over another women in a straight manga? And I agree, those “alpha male” dudes are so damn annoying.

I did that chapter. If you're interested. I could give you a run down of doing it yourself. You don't really need to know the language per say.

OMG really?? I mean I'd love to if I could!
I hope it can be done with a mobile only if possible, I'd love to know the steps, thank you so much for proposing it!!

If y'all need help with the language, I'd be down. I have experience translating webnovels and manga and quite like this one.

I use this translator called DeepL. it's really good. a fellow subber once talked about it and I tried and fell in love with it. I don't mind at all. the raws are from https://www.baozimh.com/comic/enujujuepaonanzhu-mobeimingkuri_j
it has a lot of water marks though. I think the og translator group is actually waiting for the official chapters to become free, so that they have a better copy to translate. I checked and the last free chapter was 45. I feel like I did something I shouldn't have.

anyway.
first I run each page through google lens (after cropping the page if there is a need for it). for the most part google lens does a good job at catching the words from the image. (if for some reason it don't recognize a character or if the pages are separated mid sentences, I take a screen shot and run that through instead), I copy the ocr sentences and run them through deepl. (one sentence at a time, or sometimes a paragraph to get the context. it's better to work with single sentences tho, cause large paragraphs are condensed and simplified too much).

https://lens.google.com/search

Next I open the image file on paint. if the dialogue box is white, then it's as easy as directly replacing it. if not, for different colored backgrounds, (and try to remove some of the water marks) I remove the dialogue and try to fill the background with the same color, if the background is of actual drawings, I try to remove as little as possible, (which I am really bad at).

after that it's rinse and repeat.
sorry if the explanation is too confusing.

TLDR
download-google lens-deepl-paint.

Oohh that's so nice, I mean I don't know how we'd do it but do tell me haha

Kyah thank you! I only know the raws of manhwas usually so I'm so glad you're here, thank youuu!!!
And i understand the people doing the translation too, they're super cool as well haha it's just, you know how cliff hangers are, you just wanna know what happens next, curiosity is such a powerful motivator lolol!
