If the uke ends up with this asshole guy who let him be gang raped, it'll be the most stupid yaoi I've ever read...
Usually I like age gap, younger seme x older uke, and I have nothing against this kind of incest, but I can't stand this story... I think this uke is supposed to be cute, but instead of being cute he's just annoying. He's naivety could be adorable, if it was more realistic and appropriate for his age （￣へ￣）
It's so hilarious that I honestly don't even care about hardcore level of yaoi logic, although I still wonder if we'll ever get some explanations ;) All in all, I'm really interested in a development of mc's situation :)
Well, maybe it's partly because I'm reading another webtoon now (What lies at the end) and the supposed uke is a real tough badass there, but I don't like that Kyon lets himself be treated like a shit... I'm not against asshole semes and I even like them, but not in combination with weak uke with low self-esteem. It's painful to read, seriously.
Unfortunately, I can see why somebody downvoted your post, although it is a surprise on here. I like Kyon and Tae Min, fyi. I AM against asshole semes. And most bdsm people are, too. Because that gives a pass to rape. Which is the opposite of what the bdsm community is about, which is, in turn... consent. And you're just pushing the responsibility onto Kyon for Lucaon's behavior. Something ELSE the bdsm community opposes. They prefer the dominant partner take responsibility for their actions. Because anything else is just glorifying of abuse. Essentially, what I see you doing here is expressing regret for the seme getting caught and, thus, saying that you like asshole semes not matter what you say to the contrary. Kthxbai.
I see that I was misunderstood. I like asshole semes not for their actions, but because they're usually more interesting as characters. It's such as 'liking' villains, for example Johan Liebert in 'Monster' or Hisoka in 'Hunter x Hunter'. As for the rest of your statement, I don't understand why are you talking about bdsm? The relationship in this manga has nothing to do with bdsm, because as you said, dom should take responsibility for his actions (and also has a respect for his sub as a human being). If Kyon was a sub and Lucaon was a dom, I would feel sorry for him because he choose a wrong person to submit. I would feel sorry for him, because his trust was failed. But it's not bdsm story and there is no this type of agreement between them (all the more safeword). That's why I don't feel anything but irritation. I think that treating this webtoon as a bdsm story is a bad joke. Also, I'm not pushing responsibility for Lucaon's behaviour onto Kyon. It's not his fault that Lucaon has mental issues. But as I said, I do think he's weak - he knows that Lucaon doesn't love or respect him, but he lets him do everything he wants. I just don't understand why he lets himself being used by someone like that, who doesn't deserve his submission and love. That's all.
Wow, transmigration theme! I loved it in True Star and Kill the Lights (novels) and I hope this one won't disappoint me, too.
I love true star!! but about kill the lights, is it BL? If yes, can you please share the link to their epubs or pdfs?
Yes, Kill the Lights is also a BL :) You can read it on Novel Updates (the same as True Star). Here is a link: http://www.novelupdates.com/series/kill-the-lights/
At first glance it's quite similar to TS (transmigration + showbiz world) but in reality it's completely different (and equally great) story. Have a nice read ;)
Indeed I love this story too. There's another one called reborn as a star I think its called it's translated in Wattpad by Annenoh. You can check it out if you want.
Wow! Seems promising! Thank you! I've been reading BL novels for years now but I wonder why I never came across the NOVEL UPDATES website hoho. I've been using wattapad, WordPress and Chinese BL translations. You can try em out of u like Tons of BL
I also read on wattpad and wordpress. I love Asian BL but I couldn't find anything really 'addictive' recently (except War Prisoner, I actually cried while reading), so I started to read m/m books by American/British authors. Well, there are a lot of various titles, some of them truly exceptional (I should study more instead of reading all day, srsly...).
Wow! I just finnished all translated chapters of True Star! Starded yesterday, all nighter and finished now! Its such a fun read! Thanks for recommending it!
Can you tell titles of the exceptional one? A long long time ago I had read The Last Herald-Mage series by mercedes Lackey. I had not even seen my first manga then but I got me hooked on BL
I just realized that we're quite similar haha. I've read too many lame Asian BL so I'm not that obsessed anymore. Recently read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. (not m/m romance tho. LGBT Y/A) It was incredible. Currently reading Adrien English mysteries. I don't like versatile couples so goodreads lists are a no go
Well, I don't know what kind of stories you like but here are my favs:
- Bloodraven by P.L. Nunn. Fantasy, but definitely not for everyone. It's really hardcore (brutal rape, humiliation and a lot of gore). But if you can endure the first chapter you can go for it ;)
- Dynasty of Ghosts by P.L. Nunn. Fantasy again, quite a long read. Not so brutal but there is one rape scene.
- Want Me by Rowan McBride - Another heart-wrenching and pretty dark read. A lot of dub-con. Some people don't really like this book, i guess I'm weird after all ;)
- The God Eaters by Jesse Hajicek - Not so much lighter, but really interesting and well-developed plot. A first part of book is a 'prison story'. There are some references to torture but nothing too explicit.
- The High King's Golden Tongue - Fantasy, hate --> love theme. Almost no sex scenes but it's quite good read.
- Wolfsong by T.J. Klune - Probably the best shifter story I've ever read. Original.
- Gives Light by Rose Christo - Try it if you're looking for something cute. Contemporary, young adult, no dub-con, non-con (and no sex at all). But it's a great love story.
- Vassily the Beautiful by Angel Martinez - SF, original plot, no non-con but violence and drug abuse.
- The Harvest series by M.A. Church - It's sexy and fun love story with aliens ;) Only for mpreg lovers ;)
- KAGE trilogy by Maris Black - Contemporary, MMA figter and pretty rough sex. Not my ultimate fav but worth reading.
- Lord of The White Hell series by Ginn Hale - I didn't finish it yet but If you like fantasy and well-developed plot you can like it.
Oh wow that was fast! Thank you! Well, ive already read gives light. (gave up after the 3rd one.) No sex. Got impatient. I used to like Mary calmes. Because of the fixed toppy toppy tops and bottomy bottoms. (〜￣△￣)〜 thanks again. I think you should study. My university entrance exams are going on and here I am bugging you for gay. ┗( T﹏T )┛
Oh wait this was meant for anonymous! Sorry! How embarrassing!
If you'll read something from my list let me know, because I'm curious about your opinion ;)
Actually I was going to make a list anyway for everyone who's interested in 'broadening horizons' :D So you're welcome :)
Thank you! ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
It seems I will loose some sleep in the near future!(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Aristotle and Dante is male/male romance... Although they are friends most of the book, I think it is still romance disguised as bromance.
Haha sure. Just finished Blue Mountain pack few minutes ago. If you aren't into versatile couples, give it a try. I'm very conventional regarding mm romance. I prefer delicate bottoms more than the muscular ones so I doubt ud want to hear my opinion. typical of me I know. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I agree. I used to avoid cases like theirs but this one drew me in immensely. This should be a universal mm recommendation despite the minimal romance.
I'm also not a fan of versatile copules... And I'm not into very feminine bottoms (for me it's not really about physique, but rather behaviour). To put it simply, I have a serious problem with choosing books to read. I have too many requirements, some of them are probably pretty strange ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I totally agree! My demands are too high. I give up books easily instead of sticking to it till.. . I dunno, halfway? Sometimes I feel like writing my own series which would have no provision for shortcomings. Lol Anyways, nice talking to you. I found yet another soul with similar opinions. (●'◡'●)ﾉ
The same here... I have an account on goodreads and I'm terrified that I have so many books I didn't finish because of some stuff I'm fixated about while others don't care about it at all... （￣へ￣）That's why I'm glad we share some 'quirks' ;) Do you also have a goodreads account?
Of course I do haha. I was a picky reader even before my fujoshi transition. I used to be a movie buff+bookworm until yaoi destroyed my life. (￣ε(#￣)Σ Add me on gr: Islam Nashrif. Same for all SNS profiles.
Have you two tried Wattpad? They are free books written by amateur authors, but some are really good. They have a mobile app so you can read on your phone too. If you to choose to write a story, you can post it there. I have a few reading lists with good books (most don't contain a lot of sex though). Here are the links:
https://www.wattpad.com/list/164904649-lena-presentss-reading-list
https://www.wattpad.com/list/267138545-lgbt-i-loved-completed
These accounts also have some good books on their lists:
https://www.wattpad.com/user/lgbtq
https://www.wattpad.com/user/FreeTheLGBT
I also have written two m/m books, but I dunno if they are your style (along with tags). The links are in my profile.
Oops. I meant to say they are in my profile along with tags (added that sentence in the wrong place).
I read something on Wattpad once or twice, but it was a long time ago. I'll check it in my free time :)
I'm a daily wattpad user haha. Both Android plus Windows 10 user. Hec Daevis is my man! Try his works! Lots of sex and amazing couples. Most of them are non versatile. I'll make sure to read your works ヾ(☆▽☆)
It's realistic, slow-paced and gives a relaxing vibe. Overall really nice read, but I wish it would be one or two more sex scenes because I'm not fully satisfied yet ;)
I was satisfied because I was worried there'd be no real sex scene at all (just like making out then after it was over).
I think yaoi with an unexpected seme is more exciting ;) And that's one is really hot :)
I wish it'll be more of this couple, because I'm not quite satisfied yet :P
I don't believe Abe is either.
Heh, you got a point :D
Thank you for your beautiful comment XD
I don't like it... And I'm telling it as a fan of Ogawa Chise's works. I have nothing against messed up stories but this one made me feel really disgusted. For example, I love Caste Heaven. I like that Azusa has balls and Karino has such a twisted personality. Uke in Red Theatre has no balls and seme is one of the worst assholes I've ever seen in yaoi (I think Karino compared to him seems to be pretty nice guy, haha). That's all. I'm sorry if I offended anyone but that's how I feel.
I can't stand Caste Heaven. I gave up on it. It's too brutal and cruel and dark.
I really wish she'd do more like Kono Ore Ga etc. The humor was great. The quirks were great. The friends were great. The art was super. And while there was a touch of pain and darkness, it wasn't a lot. It was mostly cute and funny and silly and romantic.
I really wish she'd do more of that. The twisted dark stuff hurts my brain and heart. If the art weren't so cool....I'd probably ditch this one, too.
Oh, and Karino should go and die. I hate him.
It's not like I don't understand your feelings. Honestly speaking I usually prefer realistic but cute/funny stories than dark ones. About Caste Heaven... well, I suppose that after reading tons of seriously messed up shi*t my level of 'tolerance' is different.
I know right. It haunts me all day.
You're not alone. I gave up on caste heaven too. (〜￣△￣)〜
I so want to, but I can't help but quickly flip through the new chapters hoping for improvement :/ The art is nice, though the actions make me feel sick...
I love her art, that's why I want more of the funnier, less dark stories. Her sense of humor is actually really great.
Yes I also love her lighter stories ^^ seems like she's in a dark place these days :/
I'm pretty surprised that it's not a story with sensei's usual uke-like seme and seme-like uke (I would probably like it more). Well, it seems quite good anyway ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
