Mind the genre and tags

True but I like to complain about how bland these authors heads are

ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ HAHAHA some of them just go "hmm titis? Huge, pepe? Gigantic, Pretty privileges? Even bigger" "what about the message you want to give the audience?" "What message?"
And sometimes even when there are a writer and a artist separately, they just share the same braincell, "toxic? A lot!, toungue? As red as watermelon"

The genre and tag in this doesn’t mean anything specific. You can trade yaoi for shouj and josei and the impact would be the same

They do!! And it can help you already infer a tiny bit before even reading chapter one (=・ω・=) As an example, if it was Shoujo, it would very rarely and I dare to say would not have explicit sex scenes between two men, if it was a shounen ai, you would have the relationship, but no explicit scenes either, and if it was Josei, you could prepare for a man and a woman, rather than two man; Forward the "adult" genre refers to not only media that is not meant for children teens or even young adults, but people who can actually have a comprehension and differ reality from fiction, since the fiction will probably depict sensitive things or topics; In this site specifically, one of the top tags is "possessive lover", and by that you can understand that it is a sensitive story happening at a historical focused point of a possessive man and his lover, also a man. As a plus, without the "tragedy" tag you can also think there will be no major character death that is intended to be sad or grieved, and by the comments which are of huge help in this site, you can see some who resume a bit of it, and include things such as "is the couple toxic? is it a dark story? does it have plot twists?" ╮(￣▽￣)╭
It is important that people have safe readings, and do not get in contact with fictions they do not appreciate!! :D

I know what the genres normally infer. I’m saying that the ones used in this one specifically didn’t give a single hint about the turn this story took. I read multiple stories with these tags that do not take this turn.

(￣ε(#￣)Σ ahh not sure if my last reply got posted because of browser issues, but in resume, tags and comments also help a lot, and in case the story is advertising something way less problematic than the story really is, then the issue is on the marketing of that media, altho it can just sum up to different experiences, as I myself have also read pieces that have even less genres specified and took a worse turn, tagging and summary varies from site to site, and this one (mangago), the best way to keep track of these is not ONLY looking at genres, but tags and comments as well!! (=・ω・=)

It’s all good, I do know how to spot stories. I had a feeling it would have dark traits from the cover alone but I expected it to be the kind of dark I’m into. Instead, it turned into the kind I despise and unfortunately, when I stay for the kind I despise, it’s always in hopes to see the abuser suffer. I learned from a yaoi I was reading where the ML actually tried to kill himself and yet still ended up being a Stockholm Syndrome character that the author was just using him as a tool to express how much she hated her ex. Didn’t realize writers could do this to their character because that’s not how I treat the characters I create at all. So now I’m just looking for ann author who can give me what I want, which is the abuser’s suffering. I wish I was into creating mangas because I’d definitely make that happen. Like adding a new twist to already made stories. It would be fun.

I’m not reading this anymore though because to learn that the ML is now begging for a man who slaughtered his loved ones and continuously r*pes him mercilessly is just sad and disappointing .

Hmm
