Question do we have any stories that isnt about romance at all or Story that isnt centered about it(like some Shonen, hunterverse, royal historical, etc), but has twist where the mc end up in gay relationship? Xd
OMG I NEED THISSS
The closest things I can think of are:
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/let_s_go_karaoke/, where in the sequel https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/famiresu_iko/ we find out that the mc actually has feelings for the yakuza guy (haven't read this yet, I know it from spoilers)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/makai_ouji_devils_and_realist/ I read this like 8 years ago but I remember that it seemed like the classic yaoi bait, but it shocked me (in a good way) that the final chapter hinted that mc and one of the devils had actual romantic feelings for each other. It's arguable though because it's not confirmed
The rest I know are all bromances that tease the readers but with nothing ever happening :/
YES ABSOLUTELY!! (yapping session incoming...) I feel like the reason authors don't do this is because a lot of readers expecting a certain type of story are going to be disappointed at best or upset at worst, like people (mostly straight male readers I guess) getting into a shounen story only to find out they're gay (a similar thing happened with What Happens When the Second Male Lead Goes on Strike where I saw korean readers criticizing the author for making mc and the prince basically unofficially gay for each other, and that's a more of a shoujo so imagine if they did that to a shounen novel/manhwa), or readers shipping the FL in a rofan with a male lead only to find out that she's actually gay for her female best friend.
They would probably argue that the author should have tagged the story as BL or GL since the beginning, and at that point the twist wouldn't be a surprise anymore.
I mean I personally love these kind of twists, and I know many others do, but a lot of readers (maybe more the korean ones) would insult or at least get upset with the author and that's what they want to avoid :/ I guess they want to play safe
At this point they are gona made themself into BDSM without ever clearing the misundestrading xd
It's gonna be cleared trust it's just edging us bro
I mean IT would ve way funnier if it wasnt cleared xd
