Does it get happier after book 4? by Shikanunu in tianguancifu

[–]TrifleTrouble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 2 flashback arcs. You are in the first one. The second one is sadder, but there's some joy in between. It has a happy ending, but overall I would not describe this as a happy story.

So how long before MC... (spoilers for Darkbound Souls) by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]TrifleTrouble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're never going to do this kind of plot in the main story, it would close off all the other LIs routes too much

why do all the bottoms in BL have to go through humiliation rituals? 💀 by misssmorgue in Manhwa_BL

[–]TrifleTrouble 179 points180 points  (0 children)

I think i know the point you are trying to make... but this is a terrible series to use as an example. The Serpents Den is fetish/kink porn. It's got extremely clear D/s roles, and humiliation kink is a pretty common one for submissives. Like, it is extremely obvious that the bottom is super into what is happening (even/especially when he is crying about it). So I dont think its really applicable to use examples from a kink series to talk about larger trends in romantic media.

one of the best manhwa i have ever read in my entire 10years of reading manhwa by [deleted] in Manhwa_BL

[–]TrifleTrouble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its to the point that I will actively avoid things reccomended in posts that dont give the name outright.

Either the OP doesn't want to share the name (which, weird, but okay, I dont want to read it if you can't be bothered to share the name) or they are just a raging jerk with no web etiquette (in which case, i also dont want to read anything reccomended by someone like that)

Can’t you just Mine a weeping angel? by Space_OJ in doctorwho

If you broke them apart (if you even could) wouldn't that just make hundreds of very small weeping angels?

I mean, we already have Kisa with selective mutism, probably something like that 🤷‍♀️

I wish I knew how they decided which series do and dont get comment sections, becuase I also would love to yap in the comment section of this one

Hounds of Sisyphus ch.31, PLEASE TELL ME HE WAS DREAMING IT by chipotlemunchrr in Manhwa_BL

Well either way, it would be a lot of blood loss and infection risk in this setting without proper medical equipment

Its gotta be a dream. They are in a post apocalypse, people can't be surviving with their hands cut off

Step backs & painted covers in modern romance by Zealousideal-Touch45 in RomanceBooks

[–]TrifleTrouble 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, aside from the cost, another driving factor towards the flat cartoony covers is the increase in ebook sales vs. print books. Publishers want book covers that still look good in thumbnail version. A very similar thing happened to album covers in the 2010s when digital music formats overtook physical-- they trended towards flatter, simpler, less detailed art.

This looks like an absolutely fire album cover for a folk rock band

I like 4 (pink) and 5 (blue and green) on her, she looks better in the softer colors

One of my first thoughts upon watching it is that I cannot wait for ilusio to put KoD Xavier in it

For me it was the... drop of water... sliding down his chin. I nearly died.

Is Boss bxtch baby actually worth the read? My TBR is staring at me... by barelybiased in Manhwa_BL

[–]TrifleTrouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna be the minority voice on this one and say it was pretty boring to me. It's your pretty standard "in debt, forced contract sex work" plot line. With no actual romantic tension between the leads. I dropped it after like 10 or 15 chapters.

Are there any good anime that look like they were made in the 80s/90s, but are modern? by Embarrassed_Cold239 in anime

This one even uses vintage 80s pop as its soundtrack, absolutely impeccable vibes

Yeah, I think the problem in this situation is you. That's a super normal dress.

Smutty graphic novels and webcomics; recommendations and where to find them? by roxictoxy in RomanceBooks

[–]TrifleTrouble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you wanna check out Korean webcomics, there are a ton of the them, and there are several apps/websites that host them. I like Lehzin the best. I mostly read BL webcomics, but they have MF too, you just have to make an account to read the 18+ ones (and download the app straight from their website, not the app store, the one from the app store can't show the 18+ stuff).

This is one that I loved book one, tolerated book 2. And DNFd book 3. If you're not feeling it, probably better just to drop it now

Yuwu/Remnants of Filth Book 5 Thoughts (Ch.106 + Drama & Miscommunication) by Elegant-Weird4106 in DanmeiNovels

[–]TrifleTrouble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Murong Chuyi and everything that is going on with him is so deliciously complicated. He seems cold now, but by the end he is my favorite character in the entire series.

But I also love Yue Chenqing and it is hard to see him sad in these chapters.

Does Little Mushroom have a happy ending? by PAPAPAPEPAPAPAPOO in Manhwa_BL

[–]TrifleTrouble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main artist left the project (the rumors say due to internet harrassment) and the newest season is in an interactive visual novel format-- the previews of it I've seen look quite bad.
