I ve been meaning to ask...

Does CONSENT actually exit in BL/Yaoi stories??? Why it is so rare?!

I know it is a genre, fantasy and guilty pleasure etc... But I am starting to get frustrated to see sexual assault and rape as romantic expression in stories I was curious and invested ( ̄へ ̄)

The first time I ever saw a Seme ask respectfully an Uke for his consent to embrace him was in "Money makes the (Other) World Go Round: The Corporate S*ave Dragged into the Saint Summoning".
You have no idea how speechless and impressed I was by this moment(⊙…⊙ )

Please tell me other good positive Yaoi BL Stories that has no sexual abuse, rape or forced romance!

    I feel like you’ve already read these but sign and cherry blossoms after winter are pretty respectful from what I remember!

    Ikr and later those actions are justified with trauma, misunderstanding yada yada but rape is rape and i hate how many bls have the uke ending up with their rapist.
    It's absolutely annoying

    YAOI is literally just manga without plot, like author would put em r@p3 and s3xu@l @ss@ult scenes just for the heck of it so i'd recommend you read Shounen Ai instead of YAOI

    I did and I forgot about them.
    I really despise that untouchable psycho antagonist in Sign and Cherry B has its tropes + archetypes but it is not toxic and has its smart moments.

    I like to recommend the very lovely wholesome shounen-ai manhuas:
    HERE U ARE + Men's Wear Store and "Her Royal Highness"

    Shounen Ai would literally make you swoon like the plot is exquisite and the characters are chef's kiss AND they do communicate verbally it's amazing

    Thanks for reminding me of this story.
    Let's see if the ML/SEME is an immature superior alphahole.
    I hope not...

    No offense, but this premise where the ML/Seme owns large corporation is often depicted like Christian Grey bad or like the CEO MLs in Trash Toxic Soapy Romance Manhuas/Chinese Webtoons.

    That is why I am easily concerned and judgy because of the influx and oversactuaration of such plots.

    Ok I just read quickly sporadically many chapters of 'Who's baby is it?' and the ML/Seme seems decent enough.

    But I am personally not keen about the whole plot and its logic.
    For example: Uke gets unwillingly involved in the troubles of the priveledged Seme who is part of a very rich elite patriarchal/conservative family where there is the typical scheming, backstabbing, framing and internal power struggle over who gets what.
    And Seme is so attractive and desirable that he attracts dumb evil jealous bitches and stupid envious self-proclaimed rivals or greedy enemies...

    There is the trope where the Uke/FL becomes a target because of the ML/Seme who came forceful into their lifes...
