Anyone well versed in the guide verse and how all of it works, I have a question. We all know about rankings (s, a, b, c, f) and compatibility rates for espers and guides. And the higher the rate, the better the guiding. So, what if someone is like a F class guide but has 90-100% compatibility with an A/S class esper? Is their guiding automatically better fit compared to a A or S class guide? Is their guiding better for that specific esper than other guides?
Actually yes, i can’t name any examples but I know there are guideverse stories where the mc is a low class but high compatibility with the ml and they prefer the mc over a random S class so yuh.
Let’s say compatibility is WiFi and the class are Ram/Storage.
Sclass storage weak WiFi : can’t access properly
Fclass storage strong WiFi : accessible but need more time to manage
usually, an F class guide doesnt have a high matching rate with way higher above ranked espers. however, very rarely if that is the case, and f class guide would never have the quality nor quantity of guiding to satisfy the espers needs. an a/s class esper needs lot of good quality guiding thay an f class with a high matching rate just cant keep up with. atp its better for the esper to get guidance from an a class guide with 40% matching rate and it would be better than an f class guide’s guidance
What BLs do y’all like the most? Can be from any medium (anime, manwha, novels). Why do you like them?
bls with hate to love and yearning. add a little comedic misunderstanding. and that is just chef's kiss. go read sugar trap yall (づ￣ ³￣)づ
My current fave

I've been obsessed with the story for quite a while
the world building is so good here, the plot is plotting, the game mechanics and the character development.. the art.. and especially MC.. istg he's so hot
it's a chef's kiss story (੭ ;´ - `;)੭ ♡
i've been recruiting people to bada's pigtail cult and they all have been loving it so far lmao
off the top of my head? historical if it’s not toxic sludge and has a decent enough plot, since I have a huge soft spot for actual famous historical couples like alexander the great and hephaestion.
otherwise I just like simple soft stories, and don’t mind most otherwise as long as it’s not omegaverse crap.

As you can see, all three are kinda similar. Two lovable characters who are both outcasts, falling in love and pulling eachother out of absolute shit.
I like characters that I can somehow relate to. And in these cases, I can relate to their loneliness.
rainbow city because idk it's something about the chemistry and the relationship buildup. Ima be honest, Im not the biggest fan of zombie apocalypse but I loved rainbossi cause instead of using zombies as a plot device for survival, it connects it to a much bigger part of the ice berg + futuristic elements with genetics/mutations and everything somehow despite having so many plot twists and turns, everything just clicks together in the end. The side characters r relevant and the main characters are written in such a way they seem generic but is actually the furthest from it.
I like bls that have a good plot where the love feels like a fun subplot. If they have long haired men even better. For some reason I can’t get into sci-fi/gaming/isekai bl. Ig I don’t like “clean” aesthetics if that makes sense. If the bl doesn’t have much of a plot though I’d prefer it to be a comedy.
i love everything as long as it’s not too cringe, doesn’t have any stupid pushover weak-ass mcs, no sa, rape, grooming, etc. i mean, who wouldn’t love a story with lovable characters? (characters who claim to 'love' their partner so much but still proceed to commit sa and rape are pure nonsense)
I forgot to mention it but yeah that’s why my favorite bl’s Sangyang:the wanderer. It focuses on the plot, it has fun side characters and there’s pretty long haired men. Also the aesthetic is more so gritty and gothic which I’m also a fan of. Basically I like it cuz it’s like a shounen but bl lmao.
For me, it’s gotta be Unsleep and Love In Orbit, although the reasons I like them are slightly different.
Love In Orbit has a very kind MC and the author has many panels showing the little things he does that highlights that trait. The MC’s emotions and trauma felt so realistic and in spite of it all he chooses to be kind in a way I don’t really see in other stories.
I love Unsleep because it’s so funny with a palpable underlying almost hidden sweetness to it, though the MC couldnt be more different than the one in Love In Orbit. The ML is the sweet one here and I love him so much. The MC from Love In Orbit and the ML from Unsleep have many panels of them being doting and attentive so that’s an odd coincidence.
it can range from sweet ones like Pink Heart Jam and Sonokoi Jihanki de Kaemasuka to deeper ones like Love Sick Dog and Stigmata. while there are more an example of my interest in chemistry, i love character focused stories and those that build on the relationship of the pair
read all those titles btw, so good
This question popped into my head a few months ago, and it’s been bothering me. So, omegas have heats. And I assume heats are for sexual maturity?? Idk. So does that mean in stories where an omega hasn’t had a heat yet or is having their first heat, it means they aren’t an adult or just became one? Except for stories where it’s suppressants keeping the heat at bay or some medical condition etc.
Because I read ao3 a lot, and sometimes the stories I read have an omega spending their first heat with their partner or their first heat hits and they have no idea what it is etc. Especially in situations where no one told them about heats and everything. And either an age isn’t given but there is no tags/warnings on the fic, or it is alluded/context says they’re an adult in the story. So now I’m confused on how that works
In omegaverse can heats just happen at any age? Even if you’re well into adulthood?? Or is it supposed to be like with women and puberty/periods? it makes me concerned about some stories I’ve read
I think heats are like periods, where when you manifest as an omega it happens at a certain period of time. When a person manifest as an omega really depends on the story. In some stories they young in some they adults, it also depends on the condition they live in and they can manifest at any time. Also there’s “recessive omegas” that are practically betas that don’t get heats so it’s possible that when they meet their partner they can go into heat.
Ohh. So, it could be at any age? Teens or adulthood?
The omega doesn't have a strict set of rules every author kinda rewrite the rules to their choosing
Yea cause in the story "My hyung's omega" the seme manifested as a secondary trait when he was a lil boy but in "romance but not romantic" the uke is a grown ass man when he manifested as an omega and in "omega complex" they were teenagers when they manifested so it really depends.
I know for recessives and switched caste it might be different, like Romance but bit Romantic. My confusion was with born omegas lol. So, ig for born alphas and omegas it just depends on the author then…
Changed my shitty name, got a nice pfp, and wrote a bio. I’ve been a member for like 2-3 years and I've finally added some personality to myself. Thank you kind person who responded to my last post and told me how to change everything
"got a nice pfp" and its blank
i would say "nice" is subjective
yeah but they said they changed it when its the exact same as before idk i just thought that was funny
NOOOO I thought I changed it It says I did and has the new pfp. I’m embarrassed now
oh damn idk then. maybe it takes a while for it to update or smth? idk
I want to change my username if that’s possible. Maybe add a pfp. I can’t find anything other than editing my bio at the bottom of my homepage.
click on your profile and then click on settings
omg thank you. How did I not notice that
hahah you're welcomee
A guy much older. He’ll pamper me. Guide me. People talk about how controlling older men are, but ykw? Hell yeah. I wouldn’t a mind an older man telling me what to do
I mean I wouldn't mind either if old men irl didn't look like god threw random potions in for appearance and called it a day (￣∇￣")
OMFG THIS TOOK ME OUTTT. I actually laughed out loud
We are the same person I just want a misogynistic controlling dominant older man to take the reigns of my life so I don’t have to think about anything but him
In theory, the bill is good and I understand where it’s coming from. The basis of the bill I agree with. But there are certain parts I don’t agree with. Basically, this bill is meant to combat the sexualization of minors in visual fiction and lolicon and shotacon. Like in anime, manwha, manga, video games etc. However, the bill says anything “obscene” of a minor could be banned. And characters that LOOK like they could be a minor could be illegal and banned too. Even if the age is unknown or in canon they are 18+. These parts I do not agree with.
Basically, someone could see Chuuya from BSD. They say, hey he looks like a minor! Then say any sexual art of him is illegal. Then also say his characterization is “obscene”. Now the anime is banned and any sexual/suggestive art of Chuuya is too. And if you get caught owning and watching BSD,
liking and possessing NSFW art of him, etc. you could go to jail. Even though Chuuya in canon is like 20+.
For the obscene thing, the definition is very broad. Something as simple as kissing could be classified as obscene.
I agree with this law to the extent of a 100% confirmed fictional minor being obviously sexualized or in explicit sexual scenes. But I do not agree with the rest of this laws parameters. The definitions are too broad, certain cases are way too subjective, it just becomes a slippery slope. Any story or art with sex where a character’s age isn’t stated/known, any story/art where the state says the character “looks too young” to them could be banned and those owning it and reading/watching it could go to jail. Even in cases where material is not sexual. Most video games, anime, manwha, etc. could probably fall under this. Almost every manwha on this site too, especially in BL with all the twinks.
They’ll take one look at Hyesung, Kim Dan, Lee Youngjin from origin of species, anyone else and probably say they all “look to young” and are too feminine and anyone owning and reading manwha with them or enjoying fan art are criminals and pedos. They will see Bleach, Deathnote, etc. and say what the minors are doing is too obscene or something and then any connection with those two series will be banned too. This also makes series where there are time skips, characters age up, etc. and any art of characters from those series liable to being banned and illegal too.
I only agree with this law if it’s about fan art, series, etc. with minors in fiction that are definitely confirmed to be one. Not just suspecting they are a minor or personal opinion on how old they look. I also only agree if the material has blatant sexualization and/or full on sex scenes of the confirmed minors. Not situations where a character simply kisses someone their own age, drinks alcohol, makes a dirty joke or whatever.
These are my thoughts on it. Idk if anyone else has heard about the bill or what they might think though.
What!? Chuuya looks a minor? Where!? He atleast looks 18+, I also agree with the ban but this isn't right.
It’s just an example. Certain fictional characters look young or like they could be minors, and this law will affect that. This is why as much as I understand why some people are supporting, I myself do not. Because the legislation is being sneaky, not specifying boundaries, and also planning on going after things that are stupid and not even pedophilic (like characters that THEY personally think look too young)
I dont know much ab this since im not from the US, but this is the issue with censorship on fictional things of any kind, bc i get what its going for, but the reality is that they will put whatever they dont like under "obscene" and get it removed, some of the first ones to go are queer media and pieces on racism etc. Just look at the censorship thats going on in China, they deem queer relationships as immoral and so they censor it to death.
Its why, even though theres a lot of stuff i HATE seeing in fiction like lolicon, incest, etc. I just choose to avoid it, cuz censorship backfires so, so bad
Keep in mind that a lot of the people who may be enforcing the rule might not care about the same things we care about, idk in this case but i know that a lot of times its conservative white people, so they wont push to protect anything
I agree. There are also things I personally dislike that I don’t think people should go to jail for. If someone likes reading incest or whatever, I don’t like it but I don’t think someone should go to jail. Even more horrible things in fiction. If a real person isn’t being hurt by the media (as in, not based off a real person and it can’t be proved that it made someone do something) then I do not think it warrants prison time.
I agree, i think there should be nuance with that, cuz just bc someone might create or read something it it doesnt mean theyre like that. Bad people exist regardless of the media they consume, i dont think its fair to make a generalization over something like that, horrible ppl are everywhere. Also i know that some people who read certain things are/were victims of it irl and it has to do with how they cope, just shows that its not black and white
They are just gonna use this to eventually get rid of lgbt stuff >.> it just depends on how they classify what is “obscene”. And I’m gonna be honest, even tho I’m disgusted by that loli/shota stuff I don’t think someone should go to jail for it because those are fictional characters.
This is so silly now that I think about it. we in a recession and the economy is doing bad but the conservatives are just focusing on censoring media as if these fictional minors actually matter.
Good dreams, crazy dreams, bad dreams. I want to know. One dream I had that was really awful was I dreamt I was in the zombie apocalypse and my dog got bit. I didn’t tell anyone because I knew she’d have to be killed. And later that night, when we were in a house I was chilling with her and then she became rabid out of nowhere and bit me. My mom proceeded to take my dog and snap her neck and that was where the dream ended
that sounds traumatizing
I once had a dream where I was running from a lunch lady (I don’t know either??) with my friend and we were in haunted mansion. She found out where we were hiding, and we both escaped by jumping through a window down into a pool. It was wild.
Btw, I think you’ll get more responses if you go to this dedicated to sharing weird dreams page on mangago: https://www.mangago.zone/thing/765/ hopefully this helps idk
Noo, the dog
I actually write down my dreams, lol
There was this one dream I had when I was a child where I and my sister were walking to my grandpa's and their place is pretty far then, there is a blank in my memory but after that, we were running back and two cows were chasing us. We finally reached home, my sister got in first and I was trying to close the main door but the cow wasn't having it so, I left it open. I got inside and locked the next door instead. The cow actually gave me a hard time but I did do it, lol- we were hiding in the farthest room possible and my sister vanished? She was nowhere near my sight. Anyways, there were several cows and they got inside
And I wrote this when I woke up so, do not expect proper grammar but here:
There were many tourists who were staying at the same mansion but they didn't know there were two murderers inbetween them and they murdered all of them except the two girls then all the corpses disappeared, only the blood was left. They didn't know who did it, the girls didn't know the other two killed them before anything supernatural happened. The boy suggested to stick together until they can get out of there, in the room, there was a balcony and window. The two planned to murder the girls even though they knew it was risky but before that, The girl was splat open infront of them in a second and they didn't know how. The only girl managed to find out about their two nature but she didn't know much and the two were unaware of it. They planned to murder her but they were unsuccessful. The manager comes and tells the girl about what she asked before. The girl somehow knows that in a closed room there won't be any supernatural thing happening. The manager also tells her about the pool. Now, the boy doesn't show up anymore. The girls talk at the pool, the girl had a knife and she planned to kill her but she didn't for some reason and then after that they walked to the room. That's it.
Tell me if you want to hear more, lol-
I’ve mostly had bad dreams but the worst one was dying by being tickled Σ( ￣□￣||)
