    I know some people prefer bromance over actual gay media and it's weird to me because why? You like the premise of it but can't enjoy the real thing.

    i think its because a lot of 'bromances' are written better than most yaois nowadays. sometimes there's a lot more chemistry between two men who are just 'friends' as compared to men who are dating each other (in bls). like I read a lot of action manhwas where characters sometimes have this insane connection that u barely see in yaoi manhwas, authors just rely on fwop thrust squelch and call it a day without delving into their actual connection.

    Honestly yeah, when it's implied it doesn't focus on the romance, instead it's the actual plot, it's just in the back of your mind.
    But when it's explicitly stated it ends up becoming a plot point and diverts from the main storyline.(not a bad thing, it's nice to see queer stories)
    I think both is good but I prefer the former.

    Hmmm I kinda get what you mean? A lot of the times, bls just aren’t written that well. It’s just smut upon smut upon smut and you rarely find bls where u just FEEL the romance developing. That’s why I really like slowburn bls. Either it’s focusing more on world-building and plot while keeping the romance in the back burner, or it’s a gradual development of romance.

    the best example i can give is the cutie side couple of loveO2O (hao mei and that cafeteria boy that gives him a lot of food portion)

    ps: im saying gays, not queer baits, i think i can differentiate the two
