i have so many mangas on my list and on my phone to read.. bl gl everything in between BUT i just can’t get invested in any of them even if its something i would usually like.

Even if the art is what im into etc. what’s wrong with me? I love manga esp BL. But these days i open this site and look up a manga on my list that i saved cause i knew id like it and then a few pages later i click off cuz i get bored or distracted

I NEVER GET INVESTED OR EXCITED ANYMORE.

    GIRRRLLL I FEEL YOUU!!! Like i have 1000+ to read stories, half is probably completed, but I m also looking for other reccos cos I cant read them. Ive tried several times to read Checkmate and Passion, pearl boy, and roses and champ ( that I’ve marinated and promised to read once its done) but ive never get past. Chapter 5. Now im looking for short stories less than 10 chaps cos i dont have the attention to read long ass stories. What wrong with me. Damnit. Like i see edits and thought thats interesting imma read it now to know what happened. Then 5 chaps in i dont care to know anymore. And actively accepts distractions

    there's nothing wrong with u, can't say for sure if its the same as what I went through but it might be like when you eat too much of the same fav food and its always available
    I also went through this, I took a break and read only BL (m/m romance) books or novels for awhile, there's some really good stuff out there, more variety in terms of plot lines, dynamics, dialogue, pace etc everything, tried out audio dramas too (voices <3 noises <3)
    when all you have is black text on white or dialogue and sounds to work with, ur imagination works a little differently than when its given to u as images, that might be a change you could try
    then I eventually came back to mangago and had heaps of stuff to catch up on, rediscovering stuff I used to get excited about that actually gets me excited again, and of course, the art
    going through the exact same thing with music rn, all just noise to me, and I fking love music so much

    My friend keeps recommending bl books to me actually and i read one and loved it and she recommended even more so maybe you’re right i should focus on books for a while. They’re enjoyable and for some reason these days easier to pick up than manga for me lol i need a visual break!
    Can i ask for one rec from you? I wanna get into bl books now and my friends recs are good but i only have a few lolll

    Master peace start out so great with full potential but it nosed dived after their first sex. For me what i do it look into other forms or genre. Like go back to watching anime or movies or read sl or action. Another is rereading my faves. Currently im obsessed with heated rivalry so still bl in different form

    thats great, glad to know you found smth to enjoy :D it doesn't have to be books, there's a variety of BL media out there so you can try whatever peaks your interest
    I'm not sure what you're into so could you tell me which books your friend recommended that you enjoyed?
    I like crime/detective so I recommend the Zero Hour Series by Aimee Nicole Walker, it's a trilogy but there's more if you enjoy it, I personally thought the balance was pretty good between the romance and the crime and the backstories, there is nice flow and fairly easy to follow too so you could just sit back and enjoy, writing is decent
    Captive Prince series by CS Pacat is a pretty well known title, I don't know if your friend mentioned, I enjoyed it but I don't if it would be ur cup of tea
    Eric Linnaeus series by Kikito Lynn, a combo of fantasy supernatural drama mystery, heavy topics, master-slave, writing isn't great but the world-building is very interesting
    Enhanced series by Victoria Sue has some really nice characters and couples, it's sci-fi a bit like espers, there's also crime, action, family, the later books healed my heart I cried so much reading this series, writing is okay
    Just these for now since I don't know what you like

MJJ November 13, 2025 2:43 am

but do you guys know any BLs outside of the normal looks stereotype?
I wish i could find a bl where one of them has curly hair or darker skinnnn I’m tired of every duo looking the same: both pale with soft hair that’s either blonde or black.
I WANT UNCONVENTIONAL MEN. BROWNN CURLLSS MAYBE BODY HAIR… more realistic dudes you know?

MJJ November 10, 2025 6:28 am

i only log in for updates on ‘ the guy she liked wasn’t a guy’ and one room TA and some other bls/gls
I NEED SOME GOOD STUFF
I love the trope of a silent introverted love interest like in ‘sign’ with the deaf dude and ‘walk on water’ and other bls/gls with a quiet poker faces person who has a past

Do you guys have any recs for mangas i can binge? Preferably good art styles nothing too “anime” if that makes sense? I want the dudes to look fairly manly and the girls to be cool no huge eyes and b00bs lollll

    "Love sick dog" fits your standards perfectly and the story hurts so good

    Also, check out this list for some decent dynamics (no r*pe, violence or serious manipulation between main characters)

I NEED similar manga! With a cool tomboy character! Whenever I deal GLs they’re both hyper feminine and IM TIRED OF IT I WANT A CUTE COOL TOMBOY CHARACTER AND A DECENT GL STORYYYYYY

please and thanks lol

MJJ February 8, 2025 8:06 pm

I always find mangas about socially awkward loser MCs but they’re rarely female I want something like that

For example watamote and the one in the title that kinda vibe

MJJ February 5, 2025 7:29 pm

Hey dudes I wanna see big buff dudes get dommed kinda like bara in a way. A bear type of bod with soft pecs type shit. I don’t care if the other guy is buff or not as long as the bottom is beefy.


..extra points for body hair ….. ( ̄∇ ̄")

MJJ January 20, 2025 3:25 pm

i used to read classics as a kid and now I’m reading BLs and GLs which is fine but i got so into it i stopped reading actual books.

Do you guys have any good novel recs to ease me back into it? I’m not too picky just don’t want anything corny like vampires or smth.
Lmk what your fav novels are (and if possible a link)
