Dominant, sadistic bottoms and their submissive, masochistic tops are so underrated and SO rare in bl. It's just a great combination that has so little rep and I always want more of it, especially when the sub top is buff and the dom bottom is more twinky/ femme.
Looking forward to this!
My favvvv sub top/dom bottom story rn is sugar trap literally so good if you haven’t read it yet pls give it a try!! It’s such a rare trope like you said but I’ve been seeing it appear in media a bit more recently:))
Did I just binge read Sugar Trap to get caught up to the most recent update? Yes, yes I did
Ty for the rec! Honestly like the Sugar Trap characters a lot more than this series' characters so I really appreciate it! Also, I'm someone who's been in the kink scene for like a decade so good kink/bdsm etiquette and rep in stories always makes me super happy to see. Sugar Trap isn't perfect but it's still pretty damn good and I respect it a lot for very clearly saying "if someone refuses to have a safe word, they're a huge red flag and you should gtfo". It doesn't change the fact that the MC and ML are big dumb idiots, but they're OUR big dumb idiots so I can forgive them
Yessss omg I’m so glad I could share that gem of a story with you!!! There’s a novel too tho i haven’t finished that yet And literally yes it’s so hard to find good bdsm rep i almost never hear safe words mentioned or respected in manga/manhwa so it’s been a breath of fresh air in that regard and i rlly love those idiots lol their constant miscommunications are so entertaining
Agreed. The way Sugar Trap does miscommunication is artful. It perfectly straddles the line of frustrating and funny.
Also I have a running list of really good bdsm bl if you ever want anything to scratch a specific itch, including ones that have good plot too. I hoard them like a dragon
Yes pls!! I didn’t have any good bdsm ones to recommend you in DM so I just sent a few good stories I’m keeping up with rn so that would be greatly appreciated:))
Another rec is My Assistant BF, which is so good. It got a little icky towards the end, but still nice.
This is one of my all time favorite series of all time, hands down, bar none. I do love Bexan and Minsuk, but Leto and Ein are what kept me coming back time and time again. And I couldn't have asked for a sweeter, more poignant ending.
The parallel of when Minsuk watched Deisel turn into a wolf in Ein's arms and leaving him holding an empty sheet at sunrise to this ending moment where he watched Ein hold a sheet for Leto to turn human in his arms, the sheet becoming a veil under a setting sun, is one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced in a story.
I can count on two hands the amount of times I've seen and FELT so much love between two characters. I legit can't express how much I want to read Deisel and Ein's journey, Leto and Ein's journey, again and again and again. I'm forever grateful for getting to experience this series and I hope that I can own a physical copy one day.
Yesssss I loovveeee an androgynous/ pretty Dom bottom and buff sub top. It's such a fun combination, I love power dynamics that turn stereotypes on their head
So so hype for this one! I love this mangaka!
