i dont wanna see sex, i need to see his traumas addressed

Eh?? Don't wanna see sex in yaoi smut?? Aren't we all here for the porn, sex, holes and dicks??

seeing the plot develop is more interesting and entertaining at some point over some mindless smut

Agreed

yup

yeah. like what's the points in half-heartedly putting in this kind of backstory like that

Smut with a shit story is not interesting. I want love and cuddling stuff not sex

Then go read Shounen Ai.

this is kind of a bar

both genres are a spectrum.
the frequency/value of sex in yaoi is not predetermined

I do read it
