Literally a MAN loving another MAN
Keyword is love.
Because a lot of yaoi is just a fuckfest, unnecessary jealousy plot, and a serious lack of lube.
LMAO you are saying this as i just finished reading a chaoter of something with jealousy and i completely agree
Oh my gaawwddd.
And the stupid misunderstandings and lack of trust too.
Like who fucking cares that they have a female friend or exbf that's a friend-- jealousy isn't cute, it's toxic and unhealthy.

Obviously we read basic smut but its nice to have something with literal plot at times. Idk how it was for you but it helped that for this one i was able to bingeread like around 60 chapters. And you can really see the different arcs. A lot of stories have some kind jealousy circle that comes back again and again and it feels like jealousy is some kind of its own arc??
Well, from what I know of my own culture (I'm mixed Asian), is that jealousy is seen as an attractive trait. It means you actually care about and want the person you're dating. But if you're not jealous, then it means you don't actually care.
Which, of course is toxic brainwashing.
But you'll see it a lot in kdramas, jdramas, and other Asian love dramas-- jealousy is a kain troupe.
And not in a "let's go to couples therapy about this, and figure out why you're so insecure and jealous," but in a "let's continue to have assumptions and horrible communication, because there can never be any other serious reasons couples fight than insecure emotions we have for eachother."
I'd really love a drama where they fight over bills or insurances, and needing to get multiple jobs and go to school-- in hopes they can make it to a better financial environment and situation.
But when it comes to eachother and matters of the heart, they trust and live eachother, and don't get jealous because of friends nor exes.
I wanna see a healthy couple fighting over the actual problems of the world instead of made up drama for the sake of drama.
That was an interesting and educating read! Thanks so much!
We need mire healthy stories. Theres enough toxic stuff slready:/
Love: Definitely feeling the love in this story between the two. Have to admit it was a bit of a fuckfest at first, but those scenes were so well done and SO HOT that it was easy to get caught up in it. Also, they have undeniable chemistry in which their desires perfectly align at those moments so that all their sex escapades seem organic.
Jealousy: Same with the jealousy (Jake when it comes to Ross), but again it it felt like a natural progression of the situation. Ross is a POS, but this wasn't apparent to Shin at first glance. He's attractive and Shin's brief consideration of having fun sex with Ross was when they first met and he wasn't taking Jake seriously about the "no sleeping with anyone else" clause in their agreement, nor did he have any romantic feelings toward Jake. He thought he was just a gangster's side piece. Jake also doesn't like Caesar getting close to Shin, which is totally innocent. However, it shows a very human side of Jake where he is not totally confident with his standing with Shin. Shin is clearly his greatest weakness.
Lube: Yeah, they're totally loaded when it comes to lube. Even to the point when they ran out of their large Costco supply, they had to resort back to Shin's low-quality hand cream freebies. Nice detail.
The in-depth character development is seriously one of the best I've ever come across in a BL
OMG ITS SILENT LUCIDITY

This is one of the yaoi's that is actually a MLM.
It's not just visually drawn porn, but actual plot.
Probably the only yaoi where I don't just skip to the fuck scenes.
The story has me hooked.
