Omg Yas
and they're usually reading here which is ILLEGAL. Yall are annoying
For realllll #－.－)
I think its mostly the kids still in high school or fresh out of it. Newer generation is sensitive and pessimistic. Same people that always talk about all the problems they see but if you ask them for realistic solutions to the problems, they can't think that far.
The realist response! But seriously it's expected for the haters to complain on here of any toxic/red flag behavior while diligently reading every release. But PLEASE just keep it on here, stop spreading this nonsense that can reach the author!!
Fr. The art is still peak
I agree. I also think they keep on reading despite not liking the work at all because they think they must read everything to stay relevant. Or yk, to not feel alienated for not reading/consuming something (especially if it's a viral trend and especially if all of their friends read it).
That's an interesting take. I could see that. I remember a few years ago this site wasn't as popular but the comment sections were actually a place of discussion on different views, theories, and little notes from people who noticed a connection from a previous chapter or foreshadowing what was to come later. Now its like a competition of who can shame a story or other readers the hardest smh
Yeah, I miss it when this site was a safe space honestly. But I think it has to do with normal people entering the fandoms and/or hobbies they're not interested in during the pandemic. Kpop and anime weren't as popular too until covid hits, and since people have nothing much to do during the lockdown I guess that's also how they find out about this site. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ and I agree with the competition part, it also feels like they're impatient especially if the story is still new and needs time for the plot to actually plotting.
in my 8 years of reading BLs, I just can’t understand the readers that will religiously shit on a work chapter after chapter and STILL read it to the end even if the work is 100+ chs. It’s even worse when they take it to social media to complain to the author. Honestly, if you weren’t the intended audience then you weren’t the intended audience. Drop it and find something that suits your tastes or better yet, write smth of your own. Personally there have been BLs that have been too much for me and if within 10 chapters I get the vibe that I won’t like the work no matter what other positive aspects it has, I just drop it because why would I waste my time on a work I know it’s ending won’t fully satisfy me. Time is a commodity, why waste my time on a work I don’t like when instead I could find other works I do like. I won’t be the target audience for all BLs and that’s alright.
