I have a theory. There is a long period of time when Shoujo/josei ‘s ML are trashy, so many miscommunication and unnessecary jealousy, and that’s why BL stories are more popular. Yes there are good MLs obviously but it can be count on 1 hand (i exagerate)
Now josei & shoujo has greener Male leads & healthier communication, so it’s time they flourish!!
Can i add that bl are starting to go with red flags? Like the today bl are really toxic. Like the ones from before are green flags in horrible situations but now its normal life with big dark red flags
I agree, nowadays it's harder to find green flag ML in BL.... that's why I only go shonen-ai nowadays
I absolutely I agree but I had never seen anyone put it into words.
I mean, I have always felt that dynamics between two men were more of an equal standing type of relationship in manga. Whereas men would demand, looks down on and not treasure women (from shoujo to josei). The tides are changing.
We are now in the era of delusional healing in shojo and josei and I'm here for it!!!!!
Your theory is actually the man reason why I started reading BL to begin with the first BL I read had the healthiest communication and relationship I'd ever seen and I was hook since but nowadays I steer clear of it because of the explosive TOXIC AND DEFINITE CRIMINAL BASED plots that is becoming main stream.....ITS A TRIGGER AND ICK FOR ME. So shounen ai was my next station and josei is now becoming more mature and healthy so I'm settled with the current times. Hope it continues but they start implementing more FANTASY BASED mature and healthy themes. That would be hella cool fr.
I think you mean 2025 is the year of black flag for bl, with a small supply of green flags in there that almost make them seem mythical
I don’t think so tbh, a lot of ppl who read BL, just read it bc it’s BL. A lot of BL are toxic and full of r@pe but there are good ones too ofc, mainly the popular ones are heavily toxic. Idk but from what I remember the first BL was shota or something, someone can correct me if I’m wrong but BL has always romanticized toxic categories. It’s not that shoujo doesnt have good stories, it’s that they only read BL and a huge amount of ppl in that community fetishize MLM.
The popular shoujo are kimi no toko or whatever it’s called, ao haru ride, and the girl who cross dress and is in a school club or the girl who fell in love with her fox thing whatever. All the male leads in those stories are decent ppl. I really don’t think it’s why shoujo has not been as popular, it’s still popular but the BL community are really loud and aggressive, plus they are always in your face but there is a portion of that community that is nice and likes to read healthy stories and reads shoujo too
Agreed, I'm one such individual who loves my fair share of alittle bit of everything But coal diggers ass black flag is a NO for me. I jump out that plane with or without a parachute. I like usually whatever catches my cover art eye lmfao
NOOO CASTEAN (he sucks tho) BUT NOOO. Bring him back to life so I can hate himm
hahaha fr, if he die we're going to feel sorry and it felt like wasting feelings while if he's alive we can hate him which is satisfying
Having an opinion is fine but for someone who illegally read and being detrimental to authors by pirating their work, yall surely have TOO MUCH opinion. Yall could as well HARASSING a REAL person even authors u steal from to defend a 2D character. Get a life and bully someone elsewhere offline. Touch some grass.
And if u have time to kids-fight in any comment section means u’re too young to have a real job and shouldn’t be here in mostly R-rated site anyway.
Get some real friends, a 9-5 & stop being edgy with FALSE wokeness. Differentiate fiction n reality & get a real life so mere fictions won’t trigger u this much.
What is going on ? Am I missing something?
I saw SEVERAL nasty comments on here so I posted this but I think they deleted the og nasty comments
but the point is I am tired with people entitled to 100% morally good story and 100% correct TL
Some of the comments are being super entitled to Authors & translator saying “the story is trash”, “why are people liking this”, “the author is blablabla” while having the time to read in a pirate web.
Complaining or discussing stories are fine, I get frustrated too with incorrect TL, but then they can just wait for the official translation?? Or idk scroll along try a better manhwa with stories & characters they like??
They might as well leave the web if they keep being entitled to good quality manhwa+100% correct translation yet keep pirating. No one is ordering them to stay + comment NASTY stuff.
Enjoy and put positive comments or Dislike and SCROLL.
Is it just me or the art is even better? The art is good before, but they are getting more handsome?
and soo young be having that snatched slim waist
He wants to beat up the Vladimir(blonde guy who has a crush on leewon?) guy without Leewon knowing so he drugs him
Can someone reccomend me something like this (rotting fluff straight smut) but completed/nearly complete?
"The Yandere Magician Can Only Love The Statue Maiden" feels very similar to this story-wise and I think it may be close to completion.
Oooh I have read that one, thank you! It’s just hard having similar manhwas that constantly updated (mostly on hiatus all the time)
Try reading 'a fool and a girl's it's cute and fluffy with smut
Try reading 'a fool and a girl' it's cute and fluffy with smut
The lead characters’ personalities are shitties but this is one hella good manhwa!!
Yes they are toxic and maybe they doesn’t deserve to be SO HAPPY but you can’t just utterly dislike the whole execution of this manhwa
And it’s actually so REFRESHING not to see “always goodey, wise, & holy leaders” characters. It’s actually part of the story’s charm that they are toxic & insufferable, yet the author can make the story believable—for THEM to match each other’s freak. (because Kahu certainly don’t deserve her)
I really thought the duke will pull “you have your mother’s eye” severus snape style here
