Questions
I just caught up on "Into the Rose Garden" and am looking for recs of stories with that kind of dark toxic dynamic. The kind of "you drive me to insanity/obsession". Just as some examples I've read Passion, Hogu Hagyeongsu, Unfinished Business, and a few others. I also tried Codename Anastasia and A Tree Without Roots. I'm not picky on bl, gl, or hetero.
Anyone know this yaoi where the top has this smell that attract other guys, they keep following him and they all try to sleep with him, so he said yes with a condition that they're the one who bottoms for him?
I truly only have such little details in my mind but it has been keeping me up for the past week. I remember reading this story a long time ago and I can only remember this.
It was this white haired guy in an all white suit looking at a black haired man in a tank? (Not too sure) and his dialogue is something like I want to preserver all memories? Either that or he was planning on cloning him but this all i remember im sorry but any help would help!
A guy reincarnates as the villainess father and then he's like out for revenge for his daughter whos gonna get sacrificed(?) to like a dragon or something im not sure and then he seduced(???) a knight??duke??idfk i forgot
Some plot points i remember:
-he planned a whole bs about switching the sacrifice(??) thing
-being a sacrifice is painful i forgot why but it is
-the girl that got switched got addicted to some painkiller(??) drug and went insane
any yaoi recs where the top turns a stubborn "top" into a bottom. Like the bottom always thought he would be top or even actually was with past partners...
I want more of this troupe after reading While You Weren't Watching, the side couple AKBFEWFEJEFJBDEFJ I love them so much
Im gonna camp with u
Give birth to a baby wildcat for me, unless you want to see me go insane!

I'm genuinely curious, does anyone actually read translations by Desire Scan, Kaizen, Mython, Spring, aka AI scanlation groups? Their translations are so bad that I honestly wonder how anyone manages to read through them. I'd love to hear from people who actually read their updates .
no choice.. ╥﹏╥
literally ruins my day when im reading sth and the next chp is translated by ai ITS SO UGLY i feel dyslexic trying to read it
I do, bitterly lmao, sone mahwas take years to have an actual translations, I think I dont care that much bc im used to reading bad spanish tl so i just somehow make sense (if its not that bad) even though english isnt my first language
Man I swear I can write better than this, I just wrote this too fast
I read them for manhwas that i have been invested in and bare with it until official released, but for new on i just don't read it at all and wait for official
Contextually i only get the big idea of the story and sometimes it's so wacky that i dropped the story entirely (happened to my fave, amber alert </3)
well i hope not lmao. id rather wait than read trash
anyone got a GOOD villainess x villain rec PLZPLZPLZPZLZPLZPZLZPLZPZLZPLZ (preferrably completed)
i need more yaois where the one is straight or maybe they both think they’re straight until you know
Unsleep
can’t think straight

Is it weird I'm delighted it shows an ATTORNEY AND A RETIRED ATHLETE AND A DOCTOR? Many people in the community have varied jobs. The most common you see in the US (at least in some spaces) tend to be in the legal, medical, or physical labor fields (kinda similar to athletes), and the separation between parts of their life is just as unique, depending on how kink-positive your area is. I am teeheeing over the specific attention to this weird detail and it makes me wonder if someone on the team is in the community like they GOTTA be right??
Also I sympathize for anyone who feels like a "pervert" for being into this and I ALSO like they go into that. Unsure of the attitude towards this in other countries in films like South Korea's Love and Leashes, Japan's R100, or the UK's Preaching to the Perverted, but, the way they talk to each other about what they want and Hosebob STILL being shy about it COULD be multiculturally significant? Maybe there is a conversation we need to have about addressing internalized shame/embarrassment even if it is to be taken as a personality trait or running gag. Idk I feel like its too constant to not be a subtle hint to that conversation. Though, I could be reading too far into that one and Hosebob has a mild humiliation or degradation kink BUT that's not immune from examination for a deeper meaning either. The curtains were blue or whatever let me be deranged.
My only personal, subjective complaint is the random throwing in of plot points. Random kidnapping and getting married and having a stalker B-plot leading to nowhere doesn't make sense. The focus should remain on the relationship because that's the work's greatest strength in every metric which is why the audience of readers should instead praise the craftsmanship of characterization instead of annoy the writers about the issues. Basically it's mean to be enjoyed as literature, and though flawed, has a deeply transformative message about the people who gravitate to it.
Overall, it's clear the author(s) did their research and really thought about making a well-adjusted wonderful perfect beautiful couple to show to us and i am forever appreciative of this representation. I have realized I wrote the equivalent to a small essay and I am so sorry :')
Now, for whatever reason, this perfect being somehow feels threatened by his “inferior” younger brother, so he’s gonna try to start shit by messing with the brother’s fwb.
Even though he comes off as very confident, he probably suffers from a huge inferiority complex, and I’m guessing he has always been jealous of Jaeyi because he was healthy.
Now Ideum got caught in the middle of this sibling rivalry without even knowing, but I don’t think he’ll fall for pretty boy’s underhanded tactics.
He might have been a virgin shut-in, but I don’t think he’s necessarily naive. I think people equate virginity to naïveté, but Ideum was writing spicy stuff even as a virgin. He’s not afraid of sex, but he also doesn’t strike me as the type to go sleeping around just because he can. Even if he’s only in a fwb relationship with Jaeyi, it’s still a relationship, so on that front, I don’t think he’ll be receptive to any moves coming from Jaeyi’s bro.
As for the potential jealousy arc, I hope it’s not really jealousy, but genuine concern, knowing how manipulative the brother can be. There’s a difference between “I don’t want you hanging out with him cus he’s a huge jerk and you might end up hurt and I’m worried” and “don’t hang out with him cus he’s a huge jerk and he might make a move on you and I don’t trust your judgement.”
1) Make the characters interesting and more than just props that are there for sex scenes
*) Personal opinion, but the art is lacking and the seme in particular is rather ugly
2) Treat the noncon seriously. Cause>effect, introspection? Guilt? Suspense of disbelief is already running thin
This one is a dime-a-dozen from an oversaturated market of "in-universe normalization of SA". Yes, dubcon is a trope FANTASY, and stories with dubcon, mental health issues, infidelity can be good, but the execution is just lacking here. It's a combination of various shortcomings that make this work come across as sloppy, uninteresting and ultimately forgettable.
