NutMan's Things

I feel one shots are underappreciated and overlooked, when I think there's a subtle art to them, so I just wanna see some love for them.

Ha! You thought this was gonna be about rape. No this is a rant about how people write paragraphs defending fictional characters in bl or manhwas. Like why are putting in the effort to defend a character because they had a traumatic backstory when that traumatic backstory is pretty much just there to make you pity the character in a play out attempt to add depth to characters?

Stories that get too much hate. They don't even have to be good, just stories that have decent elements to them.

So for a manga it'd be under 150 ratings and manhwas would be under 200 given that they're more popular. I hear people say a story is underrated basically because it's not talked about but it'd have like 600 ratings so clearly there's some attention given to the story, and even stories with like 300 ratings I still see people acknowledge so I'm trying to get more obscure ones.

I've read a shit ton of bl, not as much as others but still more then average. I've come to realize that with bls, the ultimate purpose of the plot is to serve as a device to establish the relationship and dynamic between the ml and mc. In that sense, story itself in bl is a plot device. Some do have a comprehensive storyline, but they are usually still there to establish and explain the characters.
