For me I have a bad habit of self inserting in stories where the FMC is bland/has no personality which leads me to not enjoy the story. I cant self insert in yaoi cus im not a guy, so I can read the series at face value even if both MCs are trash/poorly written.
honestly i like some of the craziest obsessive shit that happen in them and like to imagine myself in the situations lol it’s easier to find them in yaois than the reg shit yk reply
