I recently finished the manhwa "Check you out". I thought the first season was perfect: two guys who disliked each other for similar reasons were drawn to one another because of their similar personalities, and you could clearly see the progression in their feelings and sexual desire, the art style was good, they managed to make a slow burn in just 25 chapters (super impressive), MC accepted he was bisexual (not the whole "I turned gay" bullshit), a friend of theirs was supportive and open, bottom (MC) was vocal in bed, they were both super hot...
And then S2 was a dumpster fire.
ML became super possessive, MC became a pushover, they lost their communication skills, they were jealous for petty reasons, had fights, the sex was sometimes borderline forced, their character development stopped and we barely got to know about them anymore, their friends almost never showed up anymore, and many VERY important plot points were never addressed again. Literally the only good thing of that season was when they were having normal, healthy sex and you could see their sexual progression, like, they started doing more things and they were turned on more than in S1, the chapter where MC thought about how ML's dick was "driving him crazy", so he almost ripped his pants off, sucked him off and rode him was super hot.
But yeah, the author completely ripped their own story to shreds, and I yearn for these simple storylines in university or workplace where two men, who had no idea they could be sexually attracted to other men, very slowly start feeling romantic and sexual tension, and even after the first kiss they wait for sex.
Sorry for the rambling, but does anyone know of anything similar?
Can nothing be done about these Ai translator bots from uploading on here?! They have been SO annoying and mess up actual translation groups uploading orders. Pissing me off thinking it’s an actual update and it’s just Kaizen,Mythtoons, and Desirescans… fuck off (╬￣皿￣)凸
I read this a long time ago and can't find it! The first chapter starts with mc looking out the school top early in the morningnwith dead eyes. Ml finds him and thinks something like ''he looks sad'' I dunno but Mc was blamed for someone's death and hated it. (Blood relative died or smth happend) Mc felt guilt and neglected
I need shounen manhwa but BL, not just pure BL, i want the BL to be a side genre but it must be shounen just like, hunter wants to lay low,, i don't like guideverse, it can be apocalyptic, or like the 11th school trip,, I'll accept novel, dungeons, like necromancer survival, I'm not into a lot of smut, it must focus on plot
Choose your heroes carefully, how to train your healer, king's maker, eyes of sora, mo dao zu shi, tian guan ci fu. (Given, only first two are close to the type you want but all of them are plot heavy and slow romance)
Looking for yaoi’s where the uke is bratty(?) but like in a way where he likes annoying the top and pissing him off yk?
I just realized, most of the story i read have a triggering content in the beginning but a great developement in the end and whenever i want to recommend these to my friends i have get defensive like "I SWEAR TO GOD that i know this story had this cw but i promise you the story after that is interesting pls read it i beg you" like a mad man
Going through a manga drought, relapsing to solo leveling for the 6th time if no recs. Anything logical with a good power scaling is food rn.
Are you looking exclusively for power scaling, fight shonen? Or are you open to hidden gems? I read too much BL on this site, but I read other stuff in other sites or buy manga, mainly horror and seinen.
There's this Cybercrime seinen I really like and I think is super underrated, if you're interested, it's called "King's Viking".
I don't like power scaling comics but I never pass an opportunity to recommend that manga, sorry if it's not to your liking.
A Korean Manhwa,

--> FL mother passes away near the end of the story, the ML prepares a mushy of her favorite apples.
I'm looking for a manhwa with the MC and ML already had 3 meetings or 2? I cannot remember it, and every meeting, ML is always saving the MC. Until one meeting, MC was almost SAed by some old guy then the ML came in at the CR saving him. Huhuhu been lookjng for this manhwa
Looking for this straight smut manhwa, the ML is religious and have an obsession with mama Mary while the FL is in a sexual relationship with the 2nd ML. They are office workers and the ML is their boss
Replying just to follow because I kinda want to read it
So uh I think you got the memo based off the title but uhmm... i kinda wanna know what its called.
It's a yaoi manhwa- hybrid verse (but instead of cute animals ears they just turn into fluffy more animal human things?). Its an age gap, older bottom younger top. The top is the hybrid, bottom is a human. The top works as a BL (I think?) writer, and the bottom as an editor for said author. The bottom has (by pure coincidence) only dated hybrids before... (I think he MIGHT have a type but idk.. what do you think?) The top has an older brother, hes like.. a gangster. It was around 40 chapters.
Top- brown hair, total green flag, really cute, cry baby
Bottom- lwk cant remember much other than he looked his age (maybe mid to late thirties?)
Yeah thx for reading all thisss (hope u enjoyed my amazing totally real humor) BUH BYE LUV U ALLLLL (づ￣ ³￣)づ

Gyeol your such a safe space for him (︶︿︶)＝凸
“Watching you scrape by was a pain for me too” because you care for him like dude cmon
1. stop victim-blaming.
2. i think it's very reasonable that seongcheol, in his inebriated state, genuinely believes that he’s with minho, rather than junseo, for the following reasons:
2a. minho is the one who instructed seongcheol to go and retrieve the cash, meaning he knew seongcheol’s location and could have come to find him.
2b. the people who drugged him are completely aware of who seongcheol is to minho, meaning seongcheol is significant enough in minho's life to warrant being known. seongcheol might subconsciously think that means minho cares enough about him to come save him from the situation.
2c. seongcheol might subconsciously be associating these men with minho, as he may have previously interacted with them whilst minho was also present.
2d. the last person seongcheol thought about before being drugged was minho, and the men were also talking about him, further solidifying minho's image in his mind.
2e. seongcheol has absolutely zero reason to believe it is anyone but minho helping him. whether we like it or not, minho is the only constant person in seongcheol’s life, at this point in time.
the only other person who has expressed any concern for seongcheol’s well-being is junseo; however, their interactions are only a recent thing, and all seongcheol has done when they've spoken is said he wants junseo to leave him alone. there is NO reason that seongcheol, while drugged, would think it's junseo helping him.
[SIDE NOTE: we also NEED to remember that we actually have NO FUCKING CLUE why seongcheol wants nothing to do with junseo!!! considering how dark the story is thus far, we can't hold onto much hope that junseo is an entirely good-natured person.
[we already know that he is very blatantly obsessed with seongcheol - an unhealthy state of being, in general -, and that he, like minho, also doesn't know how to take “no” for an answer, and continues to seek out seongcheol, despite his protests.]
3. i think it’s very unlikely that seongcheol is sexually active with anyone other than minho.
minho clearly has an extremely high libido; he and seongcheol most likely have sex every day, multiple times, yet minho STILL feels the need to sleep with other people, too (e.g. the worker in chapter 6).
seongcheol is a construction worker who has been presented as someone who is often exhausted and definitely sleep-deprived. i seriously doubt he often goes out after a long day at work to find someone else to fuck.
additionally, minho is ridiculously possessive, to the point of aggression and violence. however hypocritical it is of him, minho doesn't seem like the type of person who would appreciate ‘sharing’ seongcheol. i would actually be surprised if, over time, minho had NOT conditioned seongcheol to never have sex with anyone else, regardless of whether seongcheol even wanted to.
4. i also wouldn't be surprised if minho had already previously given seongcheol some type of drug like this, at some point. in chapter 6, we see minho feeding some pill to the worker before having sex with him in the restroom; clearly, drugged sex IS something he participates in. if that’s the case, seongcheol’s mind might be subconsciously reverting to the last time this happened, which would have been with minho.
5. the fact is that seongcheol DOES find pleasure in sex with minho.
it most likely DIDN’T always feel “good” to him, but, because it's happened so many times, the pleasure would have become a conditioned response, likely his body’s defence mechanism against the continual assaults, to help him deal with it.
seongcheol has been sexually, physically, and psychologically abused by minho for a really long damn time. and he's constantly being told shit like "it's not like i'm raping you" [chapter 10], and “you think you're the victim here?” [chapter 6]. seongcheol might not even view the sex as assault anymore, because he has been conditioned to think "if it feels good, then it can't be bad".
THE POINT OF ALL THAT BEING: even if seongcheol is verbalising his ‘enjoyment’ of or ‘enthusiasm’ for sex with minho, does NOT mean the author is suggesting that their relationship is in any way consensual or healthy, nor that it is something the audience should accept as such.
notice the differences in seongcheol's behaviour during sex when he's sober versus when he’s inebriated. SOBER: uninterested, basically waiting for it to be over, sometimes protesting it, but still find some pleasure in it. DRUGGED: actively seeking out sex, extremely horny, desperate. he's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. his behaviour is chapter 10 is NOT his usual behaviour with minho
to me, this is very clearly a story about abuse, and conditioned responses and behaviours. obviously, seongcheol’s situation is awful, but whether or not he is able to get out of it is entirely unpredictable, at this point.
considering where we’re at right now, i don't see the story ending any time soon, and that's GOOD. it means that there should be room for actual character development and exploration of themes, all done in a realistic and unrushed way.
how stupid would it be for the author to put so much effort into setting up the current situation and dynamics, showing us all the abuse and seongcheol's CONDITIONED RESPONSES to sexual advances and situations - which, keep in mind, have been developed over YEARS of abuse -, only to then turn around and say "and then he got over it".
SERIOUSLY, WE'RE ONLY ON CHAPTER 10, OF COURSE NOTHING IS RESOLVED YET.
but let's say that seongcheol DOES stay with minho, in the end; sadly, that IS realistic. after being stuck in a cycle of abuse, rape, and fighting for so long, it probably seems completely pointless to him to even attempt to find a way out.
even if the key to his cage is handed to him on a golden platter, seongcheol might not take it. what the fuck is the point, when minho is the locksmith?
if nothing changes for seongcheol, clearly the author's goal with this story was never even supposed to be of "romance” (i’ve never considered it to be that, anyway tbh). perhaps, instead, its purpose is simply to be an uncensored and dark exploration of domestic abuse.
if nothing changes, it’s just really fucking tragic. i won't be sitting here thinking "wow wtf endgame should've been junseo".
there are still so many unknowns about this story: there’s an entire plotline that we are yet to be shown, about their high school years; we don't know why seongcheol avoids junseo; we don't know the exact cause of seongcheol and minho's 3 year separation [chapter 6]; and we don't even know why seongcheol got involved with minho in the first place. we literally just do not know. YET.
how about we give the author a chance to actually tell us the story before we start assuming that they're simply an abuse-romanticising, trash writer
As for why Sefal is doing this, my guess is it has something to do with the comatose king. But beyond that, I'm not sure. Maybe it's because if Caius becomes king, the current king's connection to the titans is severed, but wouldn't that be a good thing? Since he wouldn't supply them with his energy anymore and might wake up? Unless I'm misremembering, which is totally possible. Or perhaps, if that connection is severed, it might lead to his death since he won't be "needed" anymore, which is why Sefal is trying to prevent Caius from becoming the new king?
All speculation on my part, of course, and I might be totally wrong here! I'm excited to figure out the truth though and I'm really looking forward to the coming chapters!!
Imma marinate like 5 chapters each reading cause every chapter is a cliff hang
