What are your guy's manhwa pet peeves?
And I don't mean
or love interests being added in last minute and have 0 contributions to the story (because those are common sense), I mean something uncommon, slightly unhinged, or even curious.
For me, it's when someone claims another person and says "You're mine." Now I'm a romantic person and I totally get the sentiment, but I think booktok or some various forms of toxic literature has taught me the consequences of ownership and obsessive hypermasculinity in both straight and queer works.
Like I'm reading a fluffy BL where it checks all the boxes of a good romance and then at the end, they confess and they're like "Finally, you're mine." No form of "You're mine/I'm yours" will do me any good. It's just nonsensical to me and it's just outright strange for me to consider it the slightest bit romantic. Logically I get the sentiment. Having someone as your partner and claiming loyalty or attatchment to them is perfectly healthy and normal. But the phrase "You're mine/I'm yours" just doesn't hit right. It sounds more possessive and materialistic than romantic.
HOWEVER HOWEVER HOWEVER. No shame on you couples who say this. It's only my personal opinion because of the culture surrounding the phrase. Usually they don't end well, is what I've figured out from it, but if it works for you, I have no issues with that. It's just, manhwa that use this phrase usually just fall down a certain rabbit hole.
When the chapters are so short but they gonna make 2-3 chapters of smut. Kinda turn off ngl, I don't even felt turned on most of the time cause you gonna be edged for a week or a month and I only care more about the plot. I only get giddy when they're together happy but y'now stories most of the time fuck first romance later

Jealousy.
Especially when it’s level-headed characters that suddenly start displaying jealousy over insignificant things like character A being friendly with a random, and I don’t mean like random is flirting with them or has made it clear they have feelings for them, I’m just talking about regular day-to-day camaraderie.

Those stories where the fl who is evil regress and suddenly she is the goody two shoes(although the backstory is anything but) and everyone who hates her is bad. Can we atheist have a good character development for these fls and not make them one dimensional
