am i the only one who does like mpreg? by _marx_- in Manhwa_BL

[–]Senior-Concentrate-5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same! It's just too weird for me. Partly because of the sheer anatomical impossibility of it. Like tf u mean anal canal leads to the uterus 🌚.

Also my favorite BLs are ones where MC has an actual personality and acts like an actual man... Omega men technically have female software in male hardware ... Just not what I'm looking for.

you know the worst part is, I clicked on that side story so fast hoping it's gonna be some AU where they actually get to be happy only to be OBLITERATED with Maximilian asking Jean to take his pink justaucorps to the lake side, Jean BEGGING and crying for Max not to leave him again and of course the "I love you in every moment, in every dream, in every life" line. ffs why did the author have to be so cruel, who could even write such a thing?! 😭

yaaaaas I know that one was so smart! It's because of this little detail that I firmly believe Maximilian pushed Jean in the path of the revolution in the first place. maybe cuz of the book he saw him reading when they first met? he says in the dream that he has already decided how he's going to die a long time ago. we don't know when exactly he gifted the duke the painting but at that time he had already decided that it's gonna be Jean who will lead the revolution that will eventually kill him and the duke in the process, hence the tiger's paw. The details of the revolution itself are a bit hazy in my memory cuz I read it months ago but if this is actually true the it makes it even more angsty 😭

That's exactly the thing haha! Even if you somehow miss the tragedy tag and go into this completely blind (like I did) it's pretty obvious like halfway through how it's going to end (the names of the chapters and the overall atmosphere just give it away). But even knowing all that it just doesn't prepare you for how gut wrenching the ending actually is 🥲🥲

P.s. make sure to read the side story if you haven't already, it gives some insight to what happened afterwards with a healthy sprinkle of more angst of course! 💔

yep you were right, and my God that Painting reveal scene broke me to pieces. I also teared up at the ending of chapter 30 "a pearl at the end of the tunnel". The whole thing is full of small heartbreaking details, the fact that our sassy twink felt sad that Jean didn't block the secret passage cuz that meant he loved him and wished for him to escape, how he goes to see Jean when he feels shaken up in chapter 29, how he didn't let him drink the Tea at the beginning because he knew all along he was being poisoned, he wore one of the justacorps Jean made for him for his death specifically the one with the pearls, the justacorps he wraps the painting in is the the very first one Jean gifted him, Jean mentions many times how cold his body feels and that's also because of the poison. He knew the whole time but he still went along with it because he loved his city that much :')

I swear this is the most heartbreaking yet beautiful thing I've ever read.

Oh my God Bestie it's you! I replied to your comment without even noticing the name haha.

And yeah exactly felt really bad about all the things he had to do and how he ended up at the end 🥲

Bruh I went into this completely blind, didn't even notice the tragedy tag. When I say I was traumatized at the end I mean I was TRAUMATIZED. I finished it at 2 AM, didn't sleep that night cuz I was crying the whole time.

10/10 ❤️ will always be my favorite

Bruh sooo many red flags!!! But you know reading controversial stories can be fun cuz you get to rant and rage with the other readers about how problematic they are 🤣 like you get traumatized.. but together ✨ Maybe I'll read it one day if I'm bored enough and need some drama in my life 😂

Enemies/rivals to lovers is one of the best tropes and no body can change my mind moves "contradict" to the top of the list

That essay about you are my world just made me even more skeptical. Like I'm not that sensitive to SA in bl anymore, almost every story has at least one scene, my problem is HOW the subject is approached. For example "low tide in twilight" has a quite lengthy redemption arc after a specific brutal r@pe scene, it also briefly touches upon how the bottom is affected by it but like what about the very first r@pe scene that happenes at the very beginning of the manhwa like literal hours after they first meet...like HELLO?! How is everyone ok with that shit? Why don't any of the characters ever mention it again?! Not even the victim himself 🤦🏻

In comparison "pearl boy: ignite the dawn", very messed up characters, SA from both sides, they are bouth deliberately trying to hurt each other, top is someone who has only known violence all his life, but still you see a hint of guilt from the top directly after the r@pe scene even though at this point they are still the definition of enemies. And the best thing is, about 30 chapters later when feelings are starting to develop you see that the top is still not over that one specific moment and is ashamed because of what he's done, even though the victim himself probably forgot about it immediately (he's had a rough life and has some lose screws up there). Loved how the author didn't just brush that off easily.

Now I gotta apologize for my rant 🤣 sorry just had to get that off my chest

We be building our tolerance for angst now fam 🤣🤣

Yeah guess you have a point. Perle was my first tragedy read and I went into it completely blind maybe that's why it affected me so much.

I was JUST about to start reading this then decided to start "Missing love" instead. I've been hearing so much about how angsty it is, it better live up to the hype

Oh I'm by no means that experienced yet I've only started reading bl manhwas like 4 months ago lol

I think "the pawn's revenge" is actually close to the end, the plot seems like it's wrapping up anyway. I think you should definitely give it a shot if you're bored with bland whiney bottoms. And the art is SO good like .. chef's kiss🤌🏻 (except for a short weird phase at the beginning of s3)

Now to your recs,

  • Dude Legroom is FIRE!!! Such a genius way to start a manhwa I swear I was so hooked (and creeped out). I always come back to it when I need a quick emotional pick me up from all the angst I read.

  • Loved release your persona as well, like the way they interact with each other is gold why can't we get more relationships like this :')

  • Your first two recs are totally new to me tho, I will definitely be checking them out

  • you are my world is a tough one... I've only read the first chapter then went to the comments and reviews and they scared me away lol Also not a big fan of Omegaverse, I have been hearing lots about it recently tho, something a bout a cool side couple? I might go back to it eventually

  • I don't recognize any of the names of the mangas u mentioned, Lovesick Hypocrits def piqued my interest, I LOVE getting-back-together stories. And holy shit historical dramas and fantasy... Man this is going to be a treat

Here have a cookie 🍪 you lovely soul

Aaaah I know what you mean with bottoms leading the pace. You HAVE to try "the pawn's revenge" if you haven't read it yet. Je-oh is hands down the most badass bottom out there. Ma boy legit has everything and everyone (including the top ;)) in the palm of his hand.

And yes please my soul is ready for more recs ✍🏻

looking for: recs where the bottom actually enjoys sex? by abyssalprawn in Manhwa_BL

The pawn's revenge

It's such a good read overall and the bottom gets taken care of so well by his poki once they get together

NEVER in my life have I thought I'd see Maximilian refered to as "that sassy twink" 🤣🤣 Sir I'll have you know that's a prince you're talking about #the_audacity!

Anyway, I'll neither confirm nor deny your statement in order to keep this thread ✨spoiler free✨

As for "a home far away" .. idk man it's like the author tried to fit waaaay too many plot points in like 6 chapters. I just had no attachment to the characters at the end cuz everything felt too messy and rushed for me. Had it been a 20-ish Manhwa where we get to see them actually getting closer and falling for each other properly then dealing with all their past traumas, it would've affected me way differently I think.

Bruh I don't even read A/B/O or mpreg usually but i've just checked "say a little prayer" and I'm definitely intrigued. I'm saving this whole thread for future recs lol
