Add to this the trope of ukes being in debt and you perfectly described 80% of BL manhwas lmao
Also, same. I'll be completely honest, I'm also not really into the whole 180 degrees turn that a lot of BLs have done lately of SUPER buff ukes, some to the point of being ridiculous. Why is it always one extreme or the other? I need more in-between for both ukes and semes, just 2 people with a relatively average/lean build :/
Fr my trope type changed to pretty top x mature handsome bottom after reading checkmate and turning..

As a long time bl reader— i can no longer bring myself to read bls w/ a hyperfeminine soft skinny supple innocent bottom and the top is a macho man who’s 10x larger than the bottom LMAO i just cant. There r so many stories w peak storylines (so i’ve heard) but i cant bring myself to read bc they have this trope. I find it so cringe and ik a lot of ppl might say i cant call myself a true BL reader if i dont accept all “forms” of yaoi but trust me ive read a lot, and it just got sooo tiring and overplayed and ever since i started reading stories w stronger ukes (personality and physicality wise) i genuinely havent looked back
