Why is it with every femdom story i see on this app the female lead is massive cunt who abuses the ML?? Does anybody know any femdom stories where the FL is doting, and actually nice towards the male lead?

This one is pretty solid all the subs are her "maids" while she doms.
I’m over the BLs that have main characters in college or highschool. Please give me older men yaoi, I’m talking like at a minimum 35 years of age, preferably both partners should be older, but I don’t mind legal age gaps ( so like someone who’s 25 with someone who’s 40)

The side story (chapter 5 and 6) is about two (40~ yrs old) divorced men with children, getting married to eachother

Controversial take but BL manwhas peaked in 2016-2020 everything after that feels like hot garage
there isn't a certain era where BL was objectively better than other eras, it's just your nostalgia talking. i remember finding rape/abuse in just as many stories back then as i do now. it's just the younger readers grew up, can recognise when a story has shittily presented rape/abuse now and don't try to justify it lol. this is like boomercore to have nostalgia affect how you remember the same things.
I wouldn't say everything is garbage but sure stories are so repetitive. As I say, same story but in different setting. I think bl manhwa's authors take inspiration from BJ Alex and Killing Stalking and keep making same stories but with different twist. Lol. But I will again say, there are really good bl manhwa also being produced right now.
As the other commenter pointed out abuse and rape are issues that plague the romance genre, so I’m not just talking about that, I mean from an objective writing standpoint they were better. I’ve since re-read the manwha from the time and not only do I have a better appreciation for it but I can compare it to what’s being pushed out today. I think a lot of manwha these days are made by artist who can draw, but don’t know how to write. And even at that these authors can’t write either, they can conjure up a decent plot but don’t know where to go after that.
I don’t consider KS to be a BL manwha but I’ll use it as an example, ever since it got popular so many manwha authors tried to recreate it without actually understanding it, many read it for shock value but when u detach the “BL” label from it u can see that it wasn’t that poorly written. Many people look over its writing bc of the smut that’s crammed into, but regardless KS had all these others people thinking “I can do that too” and they failed!!! Bc they didn’t know how to actually write, and now u end up with like 7 diff shitty clones of the OG
I could explain my point further but I don’t wanna bore u or anyone else who’s reading this comment
I think it’s just that in that era you can look back on it retrospectively because those stories have gotten time to simmer while forgetting about the messes of popular stories that happened, I felt the exact same way.
But honestly progressively speaking, I like how newer BLs are working towards removing weird homophobic troupes and going against them and actually speaking about other issues such as what happens after dating.
Not to mention, the ones they’re remembering are the good ones they liked, but there were def a bunch that they wouldn’t like since there is so much bl series that come out every year. Later on, they’ll probably remember the good series that populated this year and forget about all the miscellaneous mid ones(since if they’re not that good, most people don’t remember it)
Remembering the stuff that was coming out back then, I remember I was going through the same thing in going through now, for every bl I find and love, there’s like 3 more that I either dislike or just find “okay”
We also can’t fail to mention the fact that more stories come out every year due to the popularity of the genre and medium, so you get even a bigger pool of stories you’ll have to read through. It’s not a problem of quality in my opinion, but rather quantity. There are definitely real gems in the newer stuff and they honestly beat out the favorites I had a few years ago(better story and art). Its just that we feel there’s a lot of shit stuff because they’re still fresh in our mind.

Some others I can’t exactly think of off the top of my head. I think what I’m trying to say it was easier to find manwha that suit my preferences, I think theres a lot “trendy” manwha that are made with the intention of bandwagon if a certain trope. That’s the best way I can explain it, some manwha today feel like “trope soup” all trends and tropes without substance
This post was not made with the intention to discount current authors who are putting out great work, just my two sense on the current climate of BL. It’s similar to what’s going on with anime and Isekai, imo I’m just seeing alot of mid content that’s being pushed out bc the BL formula is bound to succeed.
dude, you're the only one who's getting pressed about something that was not even directed at you specifically. either say something useful or fuck off if you don't like to see *conversation* happening in a *comment* section.
" I disagree w/ op but i’m not gonna say “no actually ur objectively wrong because ur clouded by nostalgia blah blah”" okay good for you? why are you here then? who invited you? just because you're not gonna say something other people aren't allowed to say it either?
?
we’re having a discussion of why exactly OP feels that way and our own personal anecdotes on top of it (such as mine agreeing but the fact that it’s mostly got to do with my nostalgia.) if anything the one’s discussing it don’t care whether they agree or disagree. I half-agree with OP while the others probably disagree
i don’t see exactly why you’re pissed lol, post a opinion and people can discuss it or post their own, duh
Why is it so hard to find a BL where the male lead is a nice guy, please bring back sweetheart semes (/TДT)/ I’ve had enough of the evil male lead, it’s tired, played out, and overall just an awful reading experience

Idk how to explain it but Jinx honestly feels like a poor imitation of BJ Alex which is crazy to say since they were written by the same person. Like even the designs are so similar for the leads. Jaekyung is such a frustrating character and I feel like Mingwha tried to capture the same success without realizing what made BJ Alex so popular in the first place. Like yes many people were there for the smut, and Jiwon was an asshole but at the same time I feel like Jiwon was less awful than Jaekyung. Not to mention the side couple was ICONIC. Tbh Mingwha doesn’t know how to write because she gave us a repackage of the same story just with more annoying characters. Has anyone else noticed this? Like I’m not going crazy am I?
So true, nowadays author think that a red flag or top who goes around being toxic and r4pe bottom is cool, the another reason why jinx is getting more recognized is cause of good artstyle. Now in latest ch how he treated dan was awful, I'm 100% sure soon enough she's gonna drop a chapter of jaekhyung childhood and how he was traumatized and forced into boxing or blah blah, and dan being a sympathetic person will forgive him and then they'll understand each other and start dating. Typical classic bl manhwa, there's literally noting in jinx which makes it better like bj alex, the main reason why bj alex gotta be bdsm and chanwoo and md's relationship. Whereas there's literally nothing and I mean NOTHING good in jinx beside the improved art work
People needa treat this site similarly to ao3. Tags, lists and comments exist for a reason. They let you know what type of content is in these comics. I’m not saying people can’t criticize works, I just find it strange to act surprised bc the things presented in these comics are CLEARLY STATED. Half of the time I’ll see comments from disgruntled users who are shocked that the trigger and content warnings actually held weight, like no shit. Why would you read something you don’t like after reading the synopsis, comments and tags??? I get it, there’s a difference between saying your thoughts after giving something a try, but for the love of god, DONT READ WHAT YOU DONT LIKE. Shit you not, every single day it’ll be a comment like “omg I can’t believe the main characters slept with so and so” and then the title of the fucking manga is “sleeping and romancing so and so”. Like please y’all, these tags exist for a reason, use em.
