Exactly! And yes, bishounen has its cliches and overdone attached tropes, but I've read my fair share of crappy bara/roughneck stuff too. I think the problem is that character overdescription and focusing on appearance above anything and everything else.

Whether it's your willowy bishounen's hair the color of freshly stirred cream and deep, empathetic emerald orbs (for one example) or your exuding masculinity bara toughguy's huge, immense, rippling 8-pack of well-oiled muscle leading down into his small forest bush and foot-long girth of a beer can thickly veined cock (for another), this is the problem, not the style, the *obsession* with style and rules over substance.
