THE ORIGINAL BODY WAS BETTER

I KNOW RIGHT— i hate when they do this they’re probably aiming it at the people who like soft/feminine looking bottom, that’s pretty much what’s the most popular even if i hate to admit it

FRRRRR FRRRR

Yhh made me sad, they did this in At The End Of The Road too which has a similar plot
we got robbed is what it is TT

i was hella mad when it happened in at the end of the road, but the plot made it make sense, and it was really cool to read but still I WANT MANLY BOTTOMS

What wrong with male having tiny body (kinda trigered since i am male with femine bod)....Beside the current body grow up being abused both physical and mental so it actually more sense

Well, there’s no problem with tiny body per se nor is there any problem with yours.

My goal here wasn’t to make anyone with a « thin/tiny/feminine » body uncomfortable with my comment ! Here i’m talking about a fictional type of characters present in BL, the thing here is that in a wide majority of bl the bottom will be a thin and frail man with physical traits overly feminized to appeal to readers (not just female readers but just readers in general, that’s just what patriarchy does to us ig). It’s something that exist since the beginning of BL so there’s that too.

I don’t mind a bottom who’s thin or just yk physically opposite to the top what i don’t like is how overly feminine some tend to look like and how some writers make it their whole personality, you get the deal. The thing i didn’t like in this story is how he went from his body to a rather « slim » one, i don’t see what it brings to the story. Besides, someone who’s abused physically and mentally doesn’t ultimately have to look frail and petite. But like i said above, there’s a story quite similar to this one that i grew to love which is « At the End of the Road » where the mc also switch body with a student that’s physically drastically opposite to his initial body. I didn’t have any problem back then when i first read it but now that i’ve read a lot more i know what i like and don’t like, At the end of the road is actually still one of my favorite BL, and i think this BL right here is probably inspired by At the End of the Road, because even the switch is similar (i would recommend it to you because the writing and art is top notch).

But that doesn’t mean that it’s going to stop me from reading BL with « frail » characters like painter of the night for example which i looove, but it’s still going to be one of these details that i don’t like to see but if the story is good and the characters are well written there’s no reason for me not to enjoy it ! For me, it’s mostly about having discernement, i’m just stating something i don’t like but that doesn’t mean that the story is automatically bad or badly written ! I’m just pointing out something i’m not of fan of, if this is what you like thats great good for you !! No one has the right to tell you what you should and should not enjoy in fictional media, as long as you’re aware of what feels right or not for you.

THANK YOU for pointing this out(づ￣ ³￣)づ

there is nothing wrong with you. there is something wrong with writers and, of course, the way patriarchy finds its way into everything. there is a very strong internalized heteronormativity in BL and literally everything, that is supposed to be LGBQT-friendly lit (I say "supposed", cause lol we know better). the pattern towards only specific body and beauty standards is very obvious. very few body and skin types, or any other diverse features are represented. the lack of diverse representation is too obvious when in almost every reincarnation manga the mc is given the same exact body type (tiny/feminin/frail/fragile kind) in the new life.... Especially, since the person, who passed away, had a perfectly normal body too. nothing was wrong with his body - wasnʻt too tall, too big, too skinny. so why the change?
You can go even deeper, if you want to. for example, they are supposedly Koreans, but none of them actually look like an average Korean/Asian. How many mangas have dark-skinned characters? and so on

I said for this story, the character literally getting abused both mental and body that why he have tiny body beside it switch not regression with same body they are different person, also idk why you guys need to generalizing all manhwa lack of representive when you can found any type male body in bl manhwa if you not only reading the popular one. There is some bl regression bl without change body getting smaller or anything. Talking about artsyle its not only korean but japan even western comic often lack representive of their own country so lets just thinking that just author artstyle
