Yaoi and shounen ai are my favourites—anything with bishies!
Too many people on my feed to track, so please use mail if you want to tell me something.
Greetings. I read mostly yaoi/shonen ai.
I make an effort to write thoughtful reviews of most of the manga I read, reviews I myself would want to see before picking something up (no untagged spoilers). Additionally I try to note if there is rape/dubcon.
Generally I prefer stories about adults (not a fan of school life/age gap, although there are a few exceptions) with emotional maturity, some degree of psychological complexity, and happy endings. Not a fan of shotacon, blood incest, or teacher/student stories.
Feel free to say hi. :) I am excited to talk to other readers and exchange recs.

Welcome, comrades.
Yaoi is like smoking. Try to quit cold
turkey, but sooner or later you come
stumbling back. So I said, fuck it, let's
spend some of those inculcated essay-
ing skills on making sense of this con-
sumptive fixation.
I promise I do it from a place of love.
Love for bishies getting it on.
First things first, I lack both sympathy and empathy, so I apologize beforehand if I end up offending people. So really I'm wondering if I'm taking virginity too seriously or other people are just taking it too lightly. As I was growing up I was always told that virginity was really important and it should only be lost to the one you love. I'm ass......
Tbh my siblings r collectively worth a Big Mac
BUT these r the absolute best BLs n ones I think have a lot of potential. This list has a bit of everything - HIDDEN GEMS, fluff, drama, action, horror, psychological etc. Wont include 2 with the same couple. Not a fan of pwp, romantisized rape, dubcon, blackmail, infedelity, pedophilia, incest, etc.

---------------About me---------------
I think of myself as a hard-to-please reader. I absolutely don't wanna waste my time reading a bad story.
<>Cute story without any exciting progress nor valuable messages? Hm... no.
<>Dark story without proper story-telling and character development? No.
<>Sad story with too much ridiculous drama and third-wheels? Oh hell nah.

That's why I create the list "BL Masterpieces" based on my own preferences. I won't add a manga on this list just because it's popular or has a high score. I did read and evaluate all of them carefully . You may also find some RARE GEMS here :)). Btw... I'm too lazy to create many lists lol so if you want to find some specific genres/types of characters... please search by my TAGS, it's extremely useful keke.
P.S I feel so happy and proud whenever I read your comments so thanks for all your kind compliments! They motivate me to look for more and more good BL to share to you all!
