What do you don't like abt webtoons in general(like the tropes and such).
Bl reader here
The whole concept of BL top and BL bottom. Like yeah they're both man but the bottom is a feminized 14y/o looking boy who moans and whines at every touch
Also the fact that they always get hit off by men ONLY and tops get hit off by woman
like idk it's so annoying I'm trying to read gay stuff but it's so heteronormative
Amnesia tropes are just a pain to read
I personally have an issue with the concept of breaking smth in an unfixeable way so anything that involves someone losing a limb, or simply permanently ruin an aspect of someone's life is out for me
I hate doormat mc like I understand that it’s probably hard to get out of toxic relationship once you’re in it for years but like you know damn well you’re being taken advantage of and do nothing about it like broooo
Another one is from bl like when the mc say something along those line of I definitely don’t like him cause I dated a girl before like bro you’ve f*cked a man and like you can be bisexual it’s not like you can only like one gender
Genuinely why are authors (especially BL authors) so obsessed with awkward situations and embarrassing situations? WHY? WHY? Like bro, I can practically read anything in BL, I almost never have any complaints but the amount of times I just had to put down my phone and go take a walk because of the embarrassing situations istg. Like the story is fine, PLEASE FIND SOEMTHING ELSE FOR THE PLOT INSTEAD OF EUGHHHH. Also HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT EVERYTIME, I’m talking EVERY SINGLE TIME, in any BL, whenever 1 character tries to give the other one a gift, IT NEVER ENDS WELL, IT NEVER DOES. WHYY
And I agree with all of your opinion(sad but true).
Why do authors keep copy pasting the plot? And people read those shits like "wow new webtoon from my fav author" or "wow what a hot sexy porny cover, bet it's good" so on and so forth. I can read the summary and guess what kind of story I will be getting. But sometimes I just gotta get my hopes up(in vain) thinking that maybe the story wouldnt have shitty slutty seme, weak virgin uke, repeated plot point, bully to lover, rape to lover, dub con/non con, debt, blackmail, unnecessary second couple, unnecessary 2nd lead(either will be a worst guy than the seme whom the uke won't choose or a better guy than the seme whom the uke definitely won't choose, straight-turned-gay-for-one-guy seme, straight-turned-gay-being-bottom-on-the-first-try-without-considering-otherwise uke, and much more.. it's giving me a headache... (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
there's like a bunch of manhwas/mangas out there that i really want to read but i just can't because it has the love triangle trope. i just can't stand MC going back and forth on someone, it defeats my idea of romance. i also can't stand plots with concubinage in them, especially when the ML is like the emperor and he has to have multiple partners and has to f*** them to produce heirs despite being in love with the MC (this often happens on straight manhwas tho) but yeah i guess i just want to see loyalty in a manhwa because i barely see any of it irl.
It’s the typical damsel in distress trope. I think it’s because of gender norm bullshit. you usually see in old straight romance where woman needs protection and the man is the savior. This implies to bl where most uke got generalize to be more feminine. In other words it’s just old fashioned straight romance pretending to be bl.
If the omega verse is based on wolves, shouldn't they be loyal and mate for life?? This is disrespect to wolves ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
the omega in yaoi or the modern one is different from the original wolf one. The modern omega stories are basically pheromones and secondary genders, in a way they are just made as a way to allow the male lead to give birth or to get treated like a woman in a misogynistic way while still having a penis (bro the way omegas get treated is vile)
Experienced uke and seme + smut + green flag seme + drama + good plot + no rape

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/don_t_cry_sunbae/
This one is such a gem. I just found this in my want to read list.
When will I get a decent bl story with a decent seme who wholeheartedly dates and who's not a fuck boy. An an uke without a debt and who has a back bone and doesn't act like a weak damsel in distress. An uke who might also dates other people even when he has a crush of 10 years who is a whore. A seme who doesn't degrade the uke.
I can talk on and on but that would only ruin my mood and gives me a headache.
You young damaged soul....I hope that all the BLs without this troupe find you
(I'm bad at remembering stuff so I can't give any recs)
LMAOOO
But rn I have a bunch of stories open in different tabs
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/dial_again/
I'm reading this one, uke has the ability to die and come back to life so he decides to be a bodyguard for people in the underworld, good pay. He comes across the seme who originally hired him with the same intentions but immediately caught a liking to him
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/honto_yajuu/
Police officer x Mafia/Gangster
They're so cute. I LOVE rereading this and the author has great work.
One day a guy gets his underwear stolen by an underwear thief (LMAO) The police officer catches him and the uke immediately falls in love.
Their journey is so cute try this one first for sure
There's 2 other couples but not as much screentime as the main
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/antinomy/
Actor x Actor
Currently rereading this one
Uke is traumatised by fire when he was younger so he took a break from acting, he's back now and meets the seme who likes him. Seme has the ability to read minds and was there when the fire happened so he knows it was caused by someone. So he tries to help the uke get over her trauma and find the culprit
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/what_s_with_this_strange_dream/
Reading this currently cause a friend recommended it.
Uke is a shaman who disperses of bad dreams
People call him to basically "exorcise" and in order to do that he needs to enter their dreams. But if someone goes wrong they'll be affected with a STRONG side effect. For his grandmother she was filled with a very strong rage.
When in someone's dream, the seme (his new assistant) accidentally falls into the dream as well and although it went smoothly...in the middle of exorcising the nightmare, the flames were about to touch the seme so the uke pulled him aside and was hit instead. Now he suffers from a "strong sex drive" side effect.
Haven't finished yet but so far I love it, it's cute and wholesome
Rainbow city (it’s kinda unclear when they start dating but they OBSESSED WITH ONE ANOTHER (eventually) so trust the Seme will NEVER be a fuckboy. The Uke becomes more down bad for the seme than the seme is of him and the Uke, despite having a weaker body than everyone else and needs saving ITS NOT JUST YOUR AVERAGE CRY BABY UKE and can hold his own to a certain degree. (Head strong)!
(Also the plot is amazing, and if you wanna see the seme and Uke being lovey dovey, it’s mostly in the raws)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/antinomy/
For this one ive already put shitty story tag, but I don't remember why..
Honestly...yeah...LMAO
Different sites, different results
Mangago has a bunch of BL cause that's what it's most popular in but honestly a lot of it is toxic.
(I don't find sleeping around before your current partner toxic...how were you supposed to know you'd meet the loge of your like ) But yeah, a lot of it is toxic. Doesn't mean there's no good ones though! The only thing is you have to REALLLLLYYY search for them. Because people be rating ANYTHING with 5 stars and that's why the site shows those types of stories instead of the underrated ones. You can also ask for recs at different times of the day (timezones). People are always sending out their lists of certain mangas and you can just go through them and find whatever you like.
Then on mrm it's just yaoi porn LMAO, Left and right.
There was another site I used, I lost the name...but I'd use it whenever a friend recommended me manga/I'd come across manga on social media that wouldn't appear on mangago
Goodluck with searching (=・ω・=)
"For context - I vaguely remember the storyline . I read this japanese bl manga few years ago and remember the plot stuck in my head . Tags - childhood friends, classmates , unrequited love , reunited after years
So , the seme and uke were classmates in high school . They studied in same class and were... friends ( you can say that ) The uke annoys seme a lot .
The uke while in school confessed to seme or hinted to seme about his feelings .
The seme later moved to another city for career . He promised uke that he would return but never did . He never contacted uke again . As he wanted to live a normal life . He started dating and got himself a female partner ( wife or girlfriend don't remember)
The female partner calls uke ( she does not know that uke have feelings for seme ) she called uke to dinner to suprise seme .
The seme comes home after work and his female partner is preparing the dinner . The doorbell rings and the seme opens the door to see the unexpected. The uke at the door. Seme is shocked .
I remember a scene in the manga -
( The uke annoys seme a lot and usually send ignores but one day seme got angry and punched uke in the face giving him a nosebleed . The classmates are freaking that seme did wrong but uke just laughs it off as he knows the same didn't intend to hurt him .)
I really need you help . If you remember the title or know a manga similar to this . please comment I'll check all the mangas . Please help

I can't remember about each of the uke is specifically experienced or not lol but there definitely isnt any rape in any of these.
For punch drunk love uke is inexperienced but he has always fantasized about it so he's not shy and scared but rather quite bold. The manhwa is hilarious so I'd recommend you to give it a try.

Idk, if ya have red this but… https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/title_mitei_no_prologue/
(I like how uke isn’t super pure maiden virgin and actually has experience but is still really cute and innocent to love) (also no rape + seme is actually good guy) (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I only red this like an hour ago and then thought of this comment, lol
I don't wanna see or hear anymore abt rapes in webtoons/mangas. Its almost 2025 and people still support trash partner who rapes and bullies their s/o and afterwards they end up happily ever after. I don't want that happening to me and I dont want that happening to someone else(even if it's in fiction). I can understand if it has something to do with the plot but does each and every story has to have the same plot of dubcon/noncon/rape to attract viewers?
Why is nobody talking about this? I find it weird that people love reading stories about rape and dubcon, even if they went through the same thing and are "coping" with it by reading it, it is still glorifying rape and dubcon, as well as them just being rude to their partner? Very odd people who create and read that. Hope those tropes fall out of place and become less popular.
Bruh however someone gets over their own trauma is none of your business. Ideally therapy would be better but that’s expensive >.>
That's not getting over it? It is intentionally indulging into their trauma. Therapy is expensive, but seeking that kind of, "coping" is not healthy in any way and should not be considered as coping.
Actual therapists recommend these kinds of indulgence actually, so do with that information what u will
Uhmm!!! What!!! Absolutely NO therapist should be recommending something that glorifies their trauma, where did you learn this info? I'm actually confused at that statement.
