After reading BL manhwa and manga for about 8 years now, I can proudly say I've read a good amount of content and have first handedly experienced the rise of manhwas in this genre. While at the beginning manhwas were definitely more rare and innovative with both bringing in colour as well as the digital format, I do have to say the market nowadays is oversaturated.
Don't get me wrong I love me some good old smut and kinky shit, and I am not really sensitive when it comes to certain taboo topics. WHYYYY is it though that every new manhwa I have read in the past two years or so must have a LITERAL PSYCHOTIC MALE LEAD, like a genuine psychopath who murders and kills and blablabla. I am soooo sick of it, like we get it he is a bad boy, sure, but WHY does he literally HAVE TO ENJOY MURDER. And it's always the innocent naiv bottom who is calming his guts.
As said I don't mind edgy stuff, I've read a lot of edgy stuff but ever since Killing Stalking suddenly everyone is a MURDER, PSYCHOPATH, CEO, MAFIA BOSS. Can we have some other types of bad boy?
And look I get even Japanese manga back in the day were also getting repetitive with the office/ highschool plotlines, but not EVERYONE suddenly turned out TO BE A CEO.
(I know there's also a few manhwa out there that have more original plot lines, but these are becoming quite rare)
Anyways, has someone else also experienced this frustration?
