What do you search for when looking for BL?
For example, when I’m looking for BL on unrequited love lists, I want to know if the uke or seme is the one in love, so I make sure to tag if the uke or seme is in love on my list.
I also read the ratings of a BL for any criticisms to mentally prepare myself sometimes lol
For me it's always about good characters/characterization. Everything follows after. Bonus for good plot.
1) art style should be to my liking
2) obsessive/possessive and yearner Top
3)interesting plot
I don't search for specific stuff I actually filter what I can't deal with, I try to avoid toxic stuff that already starts with rape
I usually get attracted by interesting covers usually things with parenting if in the mood for fluff, or horny if I'm in the mood for smut. I give it a go to most comics but if three chapters in it feels like a chore or is hurting me bad(there's stuff that hurts but good) I just drop it, put it in my to read list and forget it
The covers. Most of the time if the cover looks interesting I click, then I’ll read the summary and the comments.
Sometimes I’ll find someone else’s recommendations, and I’ll click the link.
Sometimes I’ll start reading, sometimes I won’t and sometimes they get dropped and forgotten.
Honestly the covers. If the cover uses bright colors and someones ass isnt being clenched, theb i usually go for that lol

Based, good characters make a good story. Good plot doesn’t necessarily mean a good story
I’ve been on the toilet for 3 hours fighting for my life what are some good bl mangas that would distract me from the pain?

Just finished reading this and loved it
thank you guys i made it out of that shit alive
Because of the character limit, it’s hard to fit a synopsis and how I feel about a story all into one list review. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Do you guys like longer synopses, a longer part for my opinion of the story, or one and not the other?
I like to see the synopses on lists to see what the story is about. The review is important too. Maybe you can synthesize them into a score in order to get the information across in less characters.
Unless the premise of the story is truly eye catching I don't think the whole synopsis is necessary. Normally I think its fine to list out a few short tropes or tags (for example, enemies to lovers, omegaverse, school life, etc). And then you can give your own opinion. I agree with the other commenter. Its best to find a synthesis between them.
Tell me about it also if you reach 200 in a list you can't edit your notes / review or move titles around so u always have to keep it at 199..
I want infinite lists lol. I hate having to number my lists cuz there's only 200 u can fit in 1 list.. After organizing some of my lists (which I'm actually super lazy to do) I ended up with hundreds of them.. I'm not even done organizing it's like 15% done
what do you think about synopses in list reviews? do you like them? I'm deciding if I should put synopses in my list reviews.
Rely helpful
i personally only read the review or tags if I'm going through a list, honestly
I love putting them in, even if it's like only one sentence.
I think they seem very helpful but as someone who's tried making lists its hard to find a good balance between synopsis and my own opinion. The character limit in lists is seriously too short
I agree, it really forces you to put the bare minimum
Do you guys know any MC’s that were trying to match other people but ends up falling in love/is in love/someone falls in love with them instead?
Kind of like Circuit Breaker or A Man Who Defies the World of BL
cupid in the rainbow trap
MUST INCLUDE:
- UKE UNREQUITED LOVE
IF YOU CAN INCLUDE?? MAYBE??
- SEME DOESN'T KNOW (bonus points if seme also in unrequited love)
- FORCED PROXIMITY (or they need to stay close together for some reason)
GO GO GO
My Starry Sky
Uke likes seme but seme mistreats uke and then begs for forgiveness
you know when one of the characters are like head over heels for their love, but they have/want to stay close with the person they're in love with so it creates this amazing kind of tension where the person in love just becomes a blushing mess and they're trying to hide their affection so bad and the other person doesn't notice it and makes me melt into a puddle?
DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY YAOI LIKE THIS
