I totally get you! I am sometimes gets shocked that a bl has a low rating ONLY because they have grape and SA. But girl, you are reading demon world setting or a mafia world or a psychological tag. They need that shit for the depth of the characters! Think about the plot. AND what infuriates me is that the BL has TW and they still choose to read!! And STILL rate low only because of grape and SA. not thinking critically about the BLs whole story.
It's just funny they talk about morals when they read in illegal site.
Um. You can't seriously believe that Rape and SA are the only way to add "depth" to a story when 90% of time, the rape and SA in the story is SO forced and just brushed under the rug. People don't complain because they saw SA, they complain about how carelessly the writer handles it, not as a plot 'point' that drives the story but as a cheap plot 'device' that does nothing for the story except as a barely disguised fetish.
Not really. Just because a character is "toxic" it doesn't mean they are complex.
And just because some characters are "nice" it doesn't mean they are NOT complex lmao.
Eg: Jaekyung from jinx is "toxic, asshole" but there's literally nothing else to him. Most of his actions don't even make sense because he's that one directional.
And by ur logic, Doc Dan is the most bland character alive because he's "perfect from the get go" and nice.
Like it’s so funny how they think a rapist edgelord makes a character interesting and complex. And don’t make them kneel in the rain crying for their 2 chapter “redemption arc,” because wow !! The complexity ! Never seen before ! The fact that they don’t realise how stupid they sound. Those characters are the same as those perfect green flag mls who have the personality of a celery, except they’re now cardboard rapists.
I said think about the setting and plot. If you are in the demon or mafia world. Will you kill a person because of your misunderstanding that you two loved each other all along, or because they always pick on you or because you're the one sided love best friend.
They should be put in unbalanced world so they will have this strong will to finish their mission. They need the driving force that is as heavy as their actions. If you guys don't like SA and grape, use the damn filter! You just need to cross out psychological tag and most of them are accurate.
And I am not saying every author who uses SA and grape are good but I am saying to be reasonable with the ratings. Girl, where is your reading comprehension?
Like what I said. Think about the setting. It is in the demon or mafia world, it might be normal for them. Depth because if the driving force is too weak, they will not kill anyone. The injustice they had experience will be the basis of their actions. Is what I am thinking.
Just use the filter and cross out psychological tag if you can't handle those. And don't blindly rate some BL so low because of SA and grape. Is what I want to say here.
Because some BL have a decent development but rated so low because of SA and grape. I am not pushing people to read it but don't RATE if you can't read it. as they said, fuck around and find out.
That's their consequence. But they want to drag it by rating so low. Is what infuriates me.

The bl/yaoi genre has been real boring these days cause authors are now afraid of making characters with actual character development as bitch asses keep wanting them to be perfect on the get go. Like, keep your vanilla bls to yourselves but don't interfere with my toxic yaoi's man. No one's forcing you to read it, let alone read all of it and complain on what's already fucking obvious. Not everything has to be fun and sweet y'know, some people have different taste
