Ikr? And it's odd because in real life, verses are very common.
yeah, this. idk if it's a cultural thing or heteronormativity or a mix of both. (Take this with a huge bucket of salt) but I've heard that in china people tend to take the top/bottom thing very seriously, so I wonder if korea is the same. Also most bl authors are not gay men and since the trope is almost always that the bottom is smaller and more feminine than the top (in this particular manhwa mainly just the former applies), and their roles are very rigid, I can't help but wonder if it just simply boils down to heteronormativity. You know if we think your average straight relationship, the woman trends to be smaller than the men and there's only so much straight men that are willing to get pegged by a woman. Not sure if people are ready for that conversation though, so I hope I don't get jumped for this lmao.
sorry this was a long one, but it's just a personal pet peeve of mine (that doesn't bother me enough to stop reading, I'll just complain about it lol)
awh damn such a shame they didn't switch.. vers couples are sadly so rare (too rare) in bl </3
