I agree, but I’m actually not sure who’s seme or uke anymore in the Jian Yi Zhan Zheng Xi couple, it’s getting hard to tell for me, Jian Yi seemed like the uke at first but I’m he recent chapters he’s showing me that Jian Yi can be Seme material as well. I’m just going to hope for some form of Seke maybe...

I think it's pretty evident Xi is the seme. usually semes act more like him. The protectiveness, he's stronger, how he is more dominant. jian yi is more of a horny power bottom. jian yi resembles ukes more, although he's masculine as well he's more considered 'pretty' and 'cute' rather than hot, he's also much more emotional which is more common of ukes and he is usually the one being doted on which happens more with ukes. even in recent chapters he doesn't at all seem seme to me. espcially with official arts like this made by the author... https://imgur.com/a/QzMFQsD .. nothing about that or putting him in a maid outfit says seme to me. LOL (≧∀≦)

plus a chinese reader once mentioned that the back of his shirt during the confession scene actually implied jian yi was uke because it has the same pronunciation as the gay slang for 'bottom' in chinese which a lot of readers thought old xian was giving hints.

This may just be me, but I think that Zhang Xi looks cute and pretty too doh... and I mean, I think that this manhua got like the more real life vibes to it, not like a lot of yaoi mangas tend to be obvious with who’s send and who’s uke, it’s not that evident here, they have the same build and they are both manly... and generally in real life, I think that actual gay couples switch. But, I like your opinion, and I actually learned some new facts! Thanks!(≧∀≦)

Ahhh lol personally I don't think of Xi as 'cute' or 'pretty' but 'hot', 'sexy', 'handsome'. I thinkhe has 'cute moments' like he tian but for their overall character, I don't think of them as 'cute'. like you said and I agree real life couples switch a lot but this is not real life, its a comic and BL has a lot of stereotypes. and as i said earlier I think its actually really evident xi is seme here (least to me, and I think the majority of people see him as seme too). its just as obvious as it is with he tian tbh. I feel like the only reason why some people hesitate zhan zheng xi and jian yi is because of the reason you listed which is 'have the same build', basically the same height. because personality wise, xi is seme. he's the protective one, always doting on jian yi, he's stronger than jian yi (as most semes are with their ukes), he looks more masculine than jian yi (jian yi is masculine too, all the characters are, even mo, but xi and he tian clearly stand out as the most manly). again real life doesn't coincide with yaoi tropes so even tho real life has switch couples, authors don't usually go by real life. and xi has the common traits of a seme. no one would question it if he was a foot taller than jian yi like he tian is with mo but people have to take all things into consideration - not just looks. if he tian was the same height as mo, people would probably also be confused about them as well, if not more, because they both battle for dominacy all the time and clash with bickerments while jian yi is clearly very submissive.

xi and he tian: both stronger, both the 'protectors' of their uke, are tougher, dominant
jian yi and mo: strong but not as strong as their semes, the ones being protected all the time, they're tough but they tend to be more emotional (cry a lot) while xi and he tian pretty much never do, both are pretty submissive (jian yi even more so) which are more common traits of an uke. (≧∀≦)

so yeah thats my thought process behind it all. that plus with old xian's obvious hints especially with basically labeling jian yi's shirt as bottom LOL. thank you for listening! and you're welcome, sweetie! :D

testing a reply to myself since mangago seemed to imply they fixed a certain bug issue and i just want to see if it’s true.

i know i may look like a weirdo doing this but just move along and keep scrolling (if anyone will even see this) bc i doubt it will happen. if anyone’s curious, it’s essentially just a character limit problem i was having so the rest of this will be just a bunch of randomness.

blah blah blah blah blah yadayada blabbakajsjksjdhsjjsjsjs i feel like there should be more supernatural bls bc there are truly not enough. especially vampire bls. also historical bls with knights and all that, those always interest me as well but they are also not very common. *sigh* i should practice doing digital art again. well i think this might just be long enough or at least i hope so. also mangago should allow links in comments again. welp. ok i think i am done.
