This is maybe an odd request, but lately I feel like everything i read on here just makes no damn sense. Half of it is because of poor translations and half of it is just poor writing. Does anyone have recs where there is a good plot that actually makes sense and the story is translated well? I just want to read something good rn.

ESPECIALLY if the author is good at breadcrumb trailing instead of just a bunch of plot holes and things that don't make sense or too much mystery/drama at once. Anything with good pacing and good story telling please

Hey guys I just read another infuriating rape to love... so I would love to read a bl where the mc is raped but gets hella revenge on his rapist and does not forgive/fall in love with him even if the rapist falls in love with the mc and regrets it. I would really like it if the mc gets with a green flag seme as well who helps him heal lmk if you have recs like that! Even if a part or two I mentioned is missing.

    this (slight spoilers about the revenge) honestly you'll wish worse things happened to the rapist but it's very realistic imo, u won't really be that unsatisfied though. also the ml isn't a superrrr green flag in the beginning cuz he has his own trauma BUT HE BECOMES BETTER AND GREENER. I highly rec !! https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/stigma_marloong/

    https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/i_became_a_slave_to_the_man_i_abandoned_nebul/ THISSS (I mean the novel!! The manhwa is still faaar behind)
    I'm becoming boring because I always recommend this for that reason LMAO.
    The first half is terrible, basically torture porn full of misunderstandings, what I love is the SECOND half, the revenge!!
    The main character never fully forgives his rapists (kills one of them, the emperor, to become the new emperor and tortures/makes his dog the other male lead). There is a third male lead that hasn't appeared yet in the manhwa that is the sweetest (in the side stories he still keeps both the surviving male lead and the sweet third male lead as his lovers, with clear preferential treatment for the latter).
    That surviving male lead REALLY regrets it and gladly takes any revenge the mc has in mind (he deserves it)

Can you guys pleeeease rec me some yaoi/shounen ai where the seme is really gentle and sweet? Any will do, but ESPECIALLY if he's mature and soft spoken but confident. Like, a megane doctor or teacher or something like that, who is gentle and kind but still self possessed. BONUS POINTS if the uke is spicy and sly!

    This is inspired by Dr. Maruki from Persona 5 if you can't tell LMAO I need to peg him something awful

I've been thinking a lot lately about how if I ever get a gf (becoming very possible in the next few weeks), there are a lot of sides of me I will likely never show her (exhibit A: this account). I was wondering if the gooner squad here also keeps this stuff/fandom stuff a secret irl to appear normal and not get dunked on or if y'all just embrace it and don't care?

    Dot April 29, 2025 5:48 am

    Have some friends irl who know and are into the same shit - it’s how we became friends. Secret from everyone else forever

    Well as a fudanshi from a homophobic country I can't really be open about liking bl. I read bl at some point everyday so it's major part of my life. Other than my best friend no one else knows

    Kuriss April 29, 2025 6:55 am

    Most of my friends know i read bl but i don't rlly show my gooner side LMAO. I also act rlly differently to different friend groups im in. This gooner side is only for the online world to see (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

    Crow April 29, 2025 6:58 am

    I used to but my fudanshi life sometimes leaks out.

SomethingStupid March 31, 2025 7:24 am

Recs where the main love interest is gentle and caring but has a dark side he tries to repress?? Like he's jealous and Possessive but knows it's wrong and wants to treat the uke well but he can't help it?

SomethingStupid March 29, 2024 1:40 am

This is probably going to sound like an odd question but I'm seriously curious, how do other bl readers (or readers in general) handle rage when a plotline goes bad or a character is frustrating, etc? I find more and more frequently I have no patience for when a manga starts out good but then a stupid miscommunication happens or the seme does something assholey or they introduce a completely unnecessary rapey second lead. Or even if a manga just starts off bad in the first place - the absolute worst is when a character who is just a bad person is written in a way that you can tell the author is trying to make you feel sympathetic toward them. Like he just raped the uke dawg I'm not about to cry that the uke doesn't like him back this is crazy. That kind of thing. I get so frustrated I'll cry deadass and I was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat or if I'm just sensitive to that kind of thing? How do other ppl handle it?

    I just go to homepage and hit delete, no need to waist time on a story that's not to your liking

    Ely March 29, 2024 1:47 am

    I just lose interest and feel detached from the story. If the messiness drags on I stop reading it mostly bc I don't have the motivation to keep playing attention. If it's for a few chapters I just rant on the comments and read something sweeter after

    Haha that's definitely the right thing to do. Idk why but I always feel like I have to finish it if I started it. I guess I'll make an effort to detach and not get so invested so I can drop bad ones

    I either just drop the story or rage quit if it was really infuriating. I'll forget about it eventually

SomethingStupid August 7, 2023 2:31 pm

Okay hear me out, I've definitely read a couple comedy bls where either the uke can read minds or the seme is just really vocal about it but there have been such funny stories where every serious scene ends up broken up by the seme having steamy fantasies about the uke and is always coming on to him can someone please rec me bl like that??

SomethingStupid August 7, 2023 1:50 pm

I was so sick of seeing that same "I always hated bl" top question every time I scrolled down

SomethingStupid July 1, 2021 1:26 am

Asked this a while back, but got no response, so asking again:

Does anyone remember that one straight romance isekai where the female mc (short, dark blue bob) gets reincarnated as an otome game character (but not the main girl) and tries not to get in the way but then is confessed to by one of the harem boys who isn't supposed to like her? I'm pretty sure it's a Lezhin comic too
