What’s a super popular manhwa (any genre: BL, GL, historical, romance, murim, dungeon, etc.) that everyone seems to love but you just didn’t enjoy it? Don’t be shy, spill the name! No judgment here.(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
If you like comedic GLs set in high school with a wholesome, slow-burn romance, then Tamen De Gushi is perfect - it's pretty much fluff only with some minor drama sprinkled in.
On the other hand, What Does The Fox Say? is a bit like a soap-opera: convoluted and dramatic plot points with shallow and unlikeable characters, an intense love triangle and tons of smut.
Honestly, give them a try - they're a good introduction into the GL genre, I just personally couldn't bring myself to like them, but maybe you will?
What’s the most toxic manhwa you’ve ever read? Like, the kind that made you so frustrated or disgusted you felt physically sick? It can be from any genre—BL, GL, Murim, historical, dungeon-themed, whatever. Whether it’s the plot, the characters, or just the overall vibe that screamed red flags everywhere, I want to know. Spill the tea!ヾ(☆▽☆)

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/it_s_a_sunny_day_again/ i hate this
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/if_you_hate_me_that_much/ i think the ike suffers a lot
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/why_is_it_you/ i think it was this which i couldn't read anymore because the mc and his ex broke up and it really felt real their love more than the ml
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/royal_servant/ I'll never read it again... one of my first bls and it was sooo

there's this story by the same creator of "hit on by a kinky guy" called "Rental Kamyu-kun 1-7 day"
It's abt a boy who's used by this guys and they decided to give him to his old man to train him, he does a lot of crazy shit to him
Like starting training his nipples and at some point putting syrup on them then putting a ton of bugs on him and leaving all night like that
Putting him on the other side of a one side glass on his ship with a machine fcking him not stop
Bringing a beast and leaving it there w him, the beast trying to fck him and when he hide from it he got put on those "bitch suits" and left again w the beast fcking him all night. While he was passed out the old man put a big egg inside and next morning he made him "gave birth" to it and told him he was special and could get pregnant (just to mess w his head)
Inviting multiple men to play w him and one of them pulling out a electro kit then being against it and getting tied up by the others so he couldn't help the boy (this was actually staged by him and he allow them to do all of that from the get go), they put the boy in all this bondage, gangrape him while shocking him w this electro device and everytime he passed out they would wake him up w this medicine
There was definitely more I'm forgetting but you get the gist
Tbh my scale is way off since I've spent the last 5 years or so reading everything and anything and I very rarely feel anything anymore but I talked abt this story w someone before and they reacted so horribly I think this one counts(?
Oh my gosh, I swear that story was so horrible it traumatized me. After that, I started avoiding toxic manhwa completely and only read fluffy ones with green flag MLs and MCs. Even now, I still can’t figure out how I managed to finish reading it. These days, if I see a manhwa with a toxic, messy plot, I drop it right away..I just can’t do it anymore .
I know right I'm like who truly wanted this? (except uh the author maybe hmm) and it's not like it had exceptional writing either.
speaking in contrast to KS, because Killing stalking was Great. I personally liked it and I count it as a successfully executed plot. yeah sure it was fucked up too but it was a fucked up i got hooked onto like a drug. while No Reason is simply...torture porn. and the same goes for Reverse Thinking which I had started reading out of curiosity but backed out after a few in.
What are some manhwa that are popular, but you ended up regretting reading and dropped without finishing? It could be any genre like BL, GL, Murim, historical, or dungeon. I'm just curious, so feel free to share! Don't worry, I won't judge. I know everyone has different opinions and tastes when it comes to reading.
Hihihihihi(≧∀≦)
I might get a lot of hate for this, but…. How to Get My Husband on My Side I’m sorry I really liked it at first, but then the plot turned into a whole pity party. It was exhausting to read I felt like every character was assaulting the fl for no reason like the plot became so predictable and I felt like the art style changed a bit as well like they made her more cute and childish appearance which didn’t help with the storyline it kept reminding us that she was just an innocent fragile petite poor kitten who needs to be saved every single chapter and the fact that the male lead is 10 times bigger than her and built like a gorilla also doesn’t help.
Love History Caused by Willful Negligence, I was there when it was newly uploading and It was promising as first but it fell down so bad everyone is STILL unlikable and no character development or whatever the uke is such a sissy and the seme is mentally deranged, the author wanted to make him look like a hot toxic top but he just looks retarded to me w his bullshit don't get me started on how the plot isn't even there anymore, the uke was supposed to avenge his friend n shit but now she's forgotten and he's a pushover who doesn't have a personality his only qualities is being a petite kawaii uwu boy who listens to whatever the seme asks him to do it's just SO FUCKING PATHETICC, ik I'm so worked up over it but I LIKED IT AND THE PLOT HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL BUT NOPE THE AUTHOR HAD TO MAKE IT ANOTHER YAOI MANHWA W A RAPIST UGLY SEME AND RETARD UKE LIKE WE DONT HAVE A MILLION OTHER MANHWAS W THIS SAME TROPE.
OMG U GET ITTTTT. bro the rapist top's one of those alpha male podcaster bros too. he says the corniest shit like "i wanna dominate that hole" like girl stfu . also the bottoms stupid as shit too. he basically has no character now except for being a pushover like u said. but also, HE LITERALLY DIDNT HAVE A GOOD REASON FOR REVENGE IN THE FIRST PLACE. like whatever happened in the past literally wasn't even the top's fault so what was the fucking point of changing your name, throwing your whole life away and moving to another country to get revenge on that wet mop. it was so promising at the beginning but imo it went downhill as soon we learned what actually happened to mc's friend.
Honestly, I dropped that manhwa too! But I might pick it up again once the story’s finished. I mean, the FL was so annoying, and the ML? He’s basically a tree stump, just standing there, doing absolutely nothing. Like, why is he even in the story? And the lack of communication (or none at all)? It was driving me up the wall! ╥﹏╥
I don’t know why, but before this, whenever I wanted to read a novel on Novel Updates, I could just click on the chapter number, and it would take me directly to the website. Now, nothing happens when I click it, and it’s so frustrating.
Now, every time I want to read something, I have to look for the website name, open a new tab, and search for it manually. It’s so annoying! Has anyone else experienced this? I even signed up for a Novel Updates account, but it’s still the same. What’s going on? ╥﹏╥
What is the best manhwa that you wish you could read for the first time again, and one that you never get bored of?ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

The BL manhwa Monday's Saviour keeps popping up on my FYP. Is it worth reading? Should I give it a try?
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
No. If you want a full on depth then it's because the ML is always forcing himself on the mc and there barely even a story or a plot. If you want to read something that has sex, sex, sex, and sex then do as you please but if your actually looking for a.story with amazing plot then this is not it. People tend to forget, a good bl doesn't need sex to be a good bl. A one bl story is one with a plot and great arc.
I also like to add on that the plot doesn't even make sense and it just ro add "depth"
Is not worth the time to read. The only reason it’s so hyped is because of the gorgeous art. The relationship between the main characters lacks proper development. They barely get to know each other before the ML forces a kiss on the MC, then suddenly assumes they're dating and constantly forces himself on them. Just because the ML is strong and has a tragic backstory doesn’t justify his behavior or make it romantic. Saving the MC from bullying or other situations doesn’t make their relationship any less uncomfortable to read. Not to mention her other works which involves grooming.
The story lacks a meaningful plot or character development. If you’re looking for engaging arcs, and a compelling story, this is not it. The focus is so heavily on sex that it completely overshadows everything else. That's the only reason why it also so popular. The art and the sex. I mean what else is good about this shit? In my opinion there are far better BL stories out there, this one simply doesn’t live up to the hype.
