pyschosimp's Things

like sometimes I look at the number of votes a manga/hwa has on here and I personally like to think most of my social media feed through several apps is just webtoon/manga related stuff etc so I'm fairly up to date with what is popular - why is it sometimes sth I've seriously never heard of, never seen anyone recommend, never seen it in sm's list, never seen a single edit of it and it has like what over 1000 votes on here????????? Am I just unaware of what everyone is actually reading or does Mangago like mess with the numbers or sth like I'm so dedass serious how can Within My Shadow have over 1000 votes but Murder Llewellyn's Enchanting Dinner Invitation has under 300 votes?? I've never even bloody heard of Within My Shadow once this year or ever and it's ongoing, but I've seen mentions of MLEDI like at least 5 times and it's been completed for ages. It even has more votes than Never Understand and that's like a classic BL on here, and Lost In The Cloud which is like viral??? Maybe I'm reading too deep into the numbers here but I swear the numbers don't add

Like two or three tags that you see and you instantly know it's something you can't stomach or won't like

for me if I see psychological and/or tragedy and school life next to each other I already know I probably can't stomach it (it's even worse if it's also a yaoi bc yk it has graphic rape)

Ik it means masturbating but I swear some of y'all don't actually mean it, had a friend who wrote a fanfic w some smut saying she gooned the whole time whilst reading it and had to clarify with her I wasn't reading her masturbation material and that she just jokingly used it as a replacement for 'lusting' ???? like I need clarification gang I can't go on my socials and see my irls using the word 'goon' that's just weird, or am i being weird?????

tldr: I'm just ranting about being annoyed by mass promotion for (often) mid stories

I'm gonna get backlash probably but I fear y'all read a GOOD tragedy yaoi manga and started referring to it as this 'masterpiece' like I PROMISE you there are other tragedy bls out there with way more development/less development, a longer story/shorter story that are JUST as good. I'm kinda sick of seeing Haruka Tooki le as people's 'best read ever' like , again, I promise you if you've read more than 50+ MANGAS you'll realise it's certainly UP there but it's not this masterpiece you guys think of it as. Maybe it's a bad comparison, u tell me, but it feels like Interstellar, it's an admittedly good movie, but is it srsly the best thing you've ever watched?
I'm just saying, there's so many good stories, dare I say even better, out there that you guys just don't give any hype too. Yes HTl has certainly done well in conveying very important themes well, but other mangas do them justice as well.

Yes this is just my opinion, obviously it's still probably the 'best' manga some of you guys have read, but I'm just saying there's like way too many of you guys saying it's a masterpiece when you are on a site with idk 1000s of yaoi mangas to choose from, and lots of them are amazing tragedies as well.

In general I wish to stop seeing recommendations of the same thing over and over again, when yes those stories are good, but at the end of the day it's really just one of the many good stories. idky only certain ones get so much hype, and sometimes it's the most stereotypical stuff I've ever read and I can tell the people recommending it have like read only 30 stories on here or sum. Nothing against you guys liking them, hell I like (nearly) all the stories I'm thinking about as I write this post but it gets to a point when I see the SAME god damn story being recommended brainlessly .
