This one is BL but just it'll take ages for them lmao but I guarantee that the plot is amazing to keep you hooked. It's like ORV but bl I guess.

Currently in hiatus so u might be sad by the cliffhanger
Im an avid BL enjoyer.
My roots stem more from the Yaoi side rather than the Shounen-ai side but there is a reason. i actually go for it for the emotional bond and story.. YES I READ YAOI FOR THE PLOT
i remember not being able to get into Shounen-ai because when i gave it a try most of the books i read never committed to the relationship. like they were scared.
its was always "but they were roommates" kinda feel.
There was a close bond but it was kinda like edging in a way. relationships always stopped developing after a while and stayed stagnant and 75% of the pairs didnt even kiss. i love a slow burn, it just had to actually be leading to something. One of my current fav BL Manhwas rn is on chapter 92 and they just started exploring the fact that they have feeling for eachother. another is at 67 and they havent even held hands yet. but the character building, psychology, relationship development MUUUAAAHHH
anywaysss
so this is where my question lies.
is it still like that? how has the scene changed? what is normal nowadays?
when i tried getting into Shounen-ai it was a long while ago. (im unc now ig) if things have changes i would be surprised if some of yall didnt know it was like that for a bit. i got fed up of being disappointed back to back.
