I let out the fattest fucking sigh. I'm so tired of parents not listening to or respecting their kids' decisions.
This is maybe an odd request, but lately I feel like everything i read on here just makes no damn sense. Half of it is because of poor translations and half of it is just poor writing. Does anyone have recs where there is a good plot that actually makes sense and the story is translated well? I just want to read something good rn.
ESPECIALLY if the author is good at breadcrumb trailing instead of just a bunch of plot holes and things that don't make sense or too much mystery/drama at once. Anything with good pacing and good story telling please
Hey guys I just read another infuriating rape to love... so I would love to read a bl where the mc is raped but gets hella revenge on his rapist and does not forgive/fall in love with him even if the rapist falls in love with the mc and regrets it. I would really like it if the mc gets with a green flag seme as well who helps him heal lmk if you have recs like that! Even if a part or two I mentioned is missing.
this (slight spoilers about the revenge) honestly you'll wish worse things happened to the rapist but it's very realistic imo, u won't really be that unsatisfied though. also the ml isn't a superrrr green flag in the beginning cuz he has his own trauma BUT HE BECOMES BETTER AND GREENER. I highly rec !! https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/stigma_marloong/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/i_became_a_slave_to_the_man_i_abandoned_nebul/ THISSS (I mean the novel!! The manhwa is still faaar behind)
I'm becoming boring because I always recommend this for that reason LMAO.
The first half is terrible, basically torture porn full of misunderstandings, what I love is the SECOND half, the revenge!!
The main character never fully forgives his rapists (kills one of them, the emperor, to become the new emperor and tortures/makes his dog the other male lead). There is a third male lead that hasn't appeared yet in the manhwa that is the sweetest (in the side stories he still keeps both the surviving male lead and the sweet third male lead as his lovers, with clear preferential treatment for the latter).
That surviving male lead REALLY regrets it and gladly takes any revenge the mc has in mind (he deserves it)
Thanks for the follow (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Lmao I just read one of your comments on a discussion and you're super smart and made really good points. Thank you for bringing some realism, intelligence, and sophistication into the yaoi/bl community! Appreciated!
Aww np, I'm glad you thought so highly of my comment. Ngl this made my day ^^
I just got to chapter 3 and am already annoyed that it's all strong fighting men and one female character who is just there to heal and support the mc... barf. Can anyone tell me if the female representation gets better or if it's more of the same? I'd like to read this manga since it's so highly rated, but I can't stand the male fantasy bs. Thanks in advance!
Well what u didn't consider that, she's actually higher rank than most of them, there is A rank guy there but most of them are C rank and below, she's B rank healer, which is actually much more rare and look for it just depends on role etc. But no worry, if you're looking for attacker girl, there would be more! Although I have to say, there is a lot more guy in here than girl so take it with a grain of salt
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I didn’t let something that petty stopped me from enjoying this great book. I’m typing this with tears in my eyes and this is only my second time there were third time reading this. Just saying you’re missing out. Even without the female representation females are highly respected in this book. And Jean was very much a mama’s boy who loves his family a lot.

I personally don't consider poor female representation to be a petty reason to not read something. Most of the time, it's quite subtle how the portrayal of women as submissive and subservient or only supplemental to men can be detrimental to a person's actual perception of women in their subconscious.
I might give this another try to see if it gets better, but from the first couple chapters alone, I try to determine if a manga is worth my time, and this one did not pull through. If there is no positive female representation, how can females be "highly respected"? Because Jean loves his mom? Who exists as a character to support him? There's nothing wrong with that inherently, of course, but when you add up all the little ways that female characters are often sidelined or only there for the sake of the development of males characters, it gets exhausting to keep reading things that won't do them justice.
There’s plenty of manwhas and animes like this with a lot of strong females. And even though the characters are mostly men there are plenty of females too. You’re nitpicking. I hope you found something better for you to read.
