God I'm tired...

Of reading comments about how they dislike tragedies. I understand that there aren't that much historical Yuri and people are suckers of it, thus they complain when there's tragedy on top of it. But when the comments section are full of these complaints instead of discussing about the story... makes me wonder why the heck are they here and spoiling the mood of the intended audience.

    What story would people be discussing? There's only 1 chapter so far and it's a het sex scene with occasional yuri flashback.

    I don't think presenting the 1st chapter of your yuri manga/ manhwa with a het sex is a good move. Imo should've opened with her preparing herself for the sex whilst remembering her moments with the one she loves, ending with her finally ready.

    1st chapters like this where action is the starting point are good for audience impact, then quickly followed by the exposition (that way the audience are hooked fast). Sometimes readers don't like reading the first chapter without anything happening. But well, you're entitled to your own opinions.

    P.S: This is already a discussion taking place.

    Thing is though, people are here to read a new yuri manhwa, and from the title image one can see it's most likely to be historical and it's really common for a historical yuri manhwa to have lots of drama. What I'm saying is, from the title image and tags alone, (most) people knew they're in for another historical yuri manhwa filled with drama.

    But I don't think people were ready to read the first chapter only to be hit with het sex. For example, Her ShimCheong has a similar premise in that one of the women is married to a man, and was expected to be drama-heavy. Yet its first chapter didn't show het sex.

    First impression is important, and my first impression of Blind Passion isn't good.

    P.S. And I also agree with some people about the lack of historical yuri manhwa that isn't knee-deep in drama. Can't we just have a series with historical lesbians being lovey dovey with each other for a change?

    Ah, I understand your point. I think this is also a problem with yaoi, I can't think of any historical BL manga devoid of drama or is just pure fluff.

    But you know... You just spoiled me about Her ShimCheong as I just read the first chapter and I'm waiting for chapters to accumulate. I didn't know it's going to be like thaaat ╥﹏╥

    Ah, I didn't know you're not far into Her ShimCheong, sorry. Me personally though, read a few first chapters before "hiatus", then when there's a surge of new chapters, I read the comments first and found out the real story. Fingers crossed we get a happy ending in the manhwa.

    Well, since you spoiled me already, might as well find out who's the one who got married?

    I hope it will also have good end as I don't remember it having tragic feels or angsty (unlike this one).
