hear me out, but some recent semes are looking so uncanny?? they’re unusually broad, have long faces, really slanted eyes, and their chins are extremely sharp. its like they’re regressing, but in the worst way possible. they barely make any facial expressions and are essentially stiff faced, so they not only act emotionally constipated but look the part too. meanwhile ukes are still gorgeous angels who can express their emotions fully and carry the entire relationship. it bothers me a lot, because how can you pair a gorgeous swan with frog…
some semes be ugly inside and out, like damn pick a struggle ╮(￣▽￣)╭
HAHAHAHA preach girl
It's commonly the exaggeration of "attractive" traits. You get women with boobs the size of exercise balls and men wider than Henry the 8th, double loss
i mean yaoi characters have always looked a bit uncanny. just google yaoi hands and u wont be able to sleep for weeks
THIS, it makes a story so hard to read. why would i willingly push an ethereal angel to be with an actual bottom feeder having the personality of the all the worst men you’ve ever known?
it was more of a rhetorical!! it’s sad because while women get over-sexualized at least they get to have a personality. im definitely more tired of it happening to women though, because all they get is a fucked bbl and odd submissive traits
meanwhile scary loser cock with no prospects except money gets fawned over for doing the bare minimum by choosing not to rape their uke and having trauma??
NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS HILARIOUS
I’m so glad I barely read bl, or read for that matter, anymore. I don’t have to lay my eyes on those ugly cretins
trust me ive been a yaoi enthusiast for a decade so im very sadly aware ╥﹏╥ . i thought we had finally escaped the beloved and horrifying old yaoi art but its coming back, just more hd and with really exaggerated trauma. cant say im excited to see the same the botox face and lack of emotional intelligence coming from a brick wall
lucky you about the bl! but are you taking a break from media on here?
save your precious eyes from the pointy chins and horrendous flat face. im unfortunately yaoipilled… and obsessed with fictional bottoms and the rare pretty or short tops. its a drug i cant stop
Yeah I found a new obsession, so everything else I was into has been put on a halt lmao. And with how shitty bl has been lately, I don’t really plan on getting back into it… I hope you can soon move away from yaoi too someday!! I wish you luck<3
It's the yaoi inbreeding. They going too far
Why tf did i actually google that shit
Ew wtf looks like tree branch
that’s fantastic!! way better than sticking with mid yaoi. hope the new one stays that way for you :)
and THANKS LMAO!$;$:&. i needed those well wishes. if you ever get curious again, for a wholesome and well written bl just hit me up. i may be in the trenches but i do know how to search for gold
exactly can the pug builds stop?? its ENOUGH
and these are the same hands we want touching beloved ukes?! id spray it with bleach, roach spray, and a light up a torch so fast on it
or like this https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/childhood_friend_complex_eunhi/
sounds dumb but im looking for a straight romance that’s like a yaoi. it’s sex focused, but the art is gorgeous and the girl doesn’t look like she’s straight out of a trashy hentai. and she has a personality outside of being only strong and independent
omg pls i’ll be lurking here

Idk if this fits ur criteria but try to check this out
any well written recs for these tropes will do (emphasis on good writing). i don’t mind if it’s straight, gl, or bl but i want a romance with dark aspects to it please
thank you so much !!

Every single one of these stories have traumatized my but I still rooted for the romances... for some of them.
i need a story where the love interests are unhealthy for each other but can’t seem to stay away. but at the same time their love is genuine and could be improved. the toxicity needs to be on equal grounds im tired of reading “toxic” plots when its actually a victim and abuser instead !!! thanks!
(something like checkmate or wet sand)
it’s on the original post but i already read this and wanted something like it ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Ohhh LMAO sorry my bad I didn't see that
Omg I've been on c.ai so much to the point I was expecting a responding bubble to appear and to get a response in seconds like a ai from c.ai and was a little surprised when i didn't but then I realized I'm not even on c.ai
it’s all good thanks for replying, love that checkmate is peak toxic yaoi. and UR SO REAL FOR THAT LMAO
Try "Truth or Dare."
ive been reading mostly bl lately but a lot of mainstream lacks any type of substance with their characters or storyline…
is there any interesting romances yall have read recently?? that doesn’t focus on lackluster sex or rape lmao
These two characters were pretty refreshing for me;
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/iki_dekinai_no_wa_kimi_no_sei/
Our Sunny Days is pretty health (until now) and very cute
this story is so good!! their dynamic is entertaining

Amazing＼(^-^)／
looking for cute and expressive tops- iykyk. im tired of them being barely expressive T-T something like pizza delivery man and the golden palace, but it doesn’t matter what gender or sexuality tbh. thanks!!
"waterside night"? He eventually gets super expressive.
Also "love plan" happy reading hope this helped :3
THESE ARE BL, SO I DIDNT READ WHAT YOY WROTE PROPERLY BTW
thx but damn i read both of these already *cries*
and also i don’t mind that it’s bl, even the one i listed is yaoi. i wanted any romance genre (straight, gl, bl, etc)!
omg i love mls that dont have a stick up their ass these are my favorites

u get me. BRO the good teacher, mr perfect, and strange dream are peak whipped, hot and bothered tops. chefs kiss!!
Jaeshin from Night Song.
Eunsung from Guiding Hazard. He ties to keep a straight face, but even if it’s subtle, you can see his expressions.
it was a yaoi manhwa where the main character was pursued by 3 of his guy friends or something and they kidnapped him?? idk any other details except that it was a really triggering work. i think he was also held hostage in their house ? i didn’t finish and it’s bothering me because i wanna know what happened to him
is it killing stalking?
no it was a different story. in this one, the mc gets captured by 3 of his friends, who are all in on his kidnapping. they don’t kill anyone either i think…
i think you’re talking bout this story
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/non_zero_sum/
nevermind yall i found it myself lmao. if anyone is curious it’s this
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/non_zero_sum/
Warehouse maybe?
Or maybe can find your luck here?: https://vyvymanga.net/collection/603747
any with no sa or rape please if possible. im tired of the psychological part = the mc endures sexual violence on a grander scale. thanks in advance
Highly recommend these 3. They all have beautiful art and great stories:
BL. Completed.
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/sleeping_dead/
BL. Ongoing.
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hikaru_ga_shinda_natsu/
Shoujo(?). Completed.
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/mahoutsukai_to_aka_no_pilgrim/
Sorry didn't catch that romance part. There is no romance in Mahoutsukai to aka no pilgrim. I still recommend giving it a shot. The art is gorgeous!
I LOVE THE SUMMER HIKARU DIED!!
ill definitely put the other two on my reading list, no romance in the last story is fine :) thank you
the way isekai authors draw babies or kids is so awful sometimes?? their head be the size of guatemala and yet their body 5 inches tall. and before you come @ me with “well children’s heads are bigger naturally but they grow into it” I KNOW THAT but the proportions are so off and dramatic i end up dropping the story. big lemon headed bitches why are you built like that
lmao you're right... A lot of them cant draw babies. To be fair it take skills to draw kids because theyre not proportionate at all and does not follow the conventional anatomy for adults
IJBOL!! you said babies were not proportionate this isn’t a dig at you btw, this was just a funny way to describe their anatomy for lacking comprehension LMAO. you’re completely right that it takes skill
seeing straight abo is genuinely my pet peeve because there’s already a universe in which women get pregnant and get treated terribly by awful men who already don’t control themselves ? it never works because if authors wanted to make heats, ruts, knots, or pregnancy a big part of the story: the easiest solution to that is making male leads half animal or entity. think half wolf, tiger, snake, and more other creature characteristics you get the picture
the idea of a human man having the same patriarchal advantages on lean infused crack cocaine AND getting even more of a free pass to rape, baby trap, or mate women sounds horrifying to me . it only works with pure short smuts, never long stories
I agree. Anything worldbuilding-related in straight omegaverse becomes realistically dystopian real quick. If I wanted to see any of that I might as well just watch the news
the only acceptable one is if the woman is the alpha and the man is the omega tbh that's the only straight omegaverse that i willingly read
I’ve never even seen any straight omegaverse so i’m curious on how that’s work
that’ll**
EXACTLY WHAT I FEEL! PREACH
YES YOU KNEW WHAT I WAS ABOUT!! this is exactly what i referred to with gay adjacent! it’s queer in essence, with genders fulfilling entirely different and undefinable social roles (⌒▽⌒)
there was one i tried to read on here but i can’t remember the name Σ( ￣□￣||)
it was REALLY trash, concept wise but also story wise that it felt like divine retribution from the yaoi gods and slick angels
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/love_rides_on_pheromone_allergy/
Here’s one I was talking shit about it, and people started attacking me.
Yeah i think actually there's a manhwa with that exact concept but suddenly i forgot the damn name, plotwise and artwise it's relatively good
Yeah i remember it now, if anyone interested can give it a try
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/one_night_only/
this is a bit off-topic but i'm genuinely curious as i've only read mlm omegaverse. if there exist a wlw omegaverse, does it mean that the alpha female would have a d!ck?
Yeah i think so, it'd help with wlw cp when they want a child themselves, same problem with mlm cp which the forefront for the born of this genre in a sense
I see what you mean. I read one original work on AO3 with a barbarian female alpha taking a male omega king's virginity (and kingdom). It wasn't traditional but it wasn't exactly role reversal either.
The smut was fucking filthy too. It was non-con but by god was it delicious.
