I would give you better recs if there were any. Unfortunately, it's like an entire genre full of nothing but Twilight and Harlequin novels. I kind of side-eye anybody who admits to liking yaoi/BL series unironically. They're all shit.

So how do you know that the specific series in OP's secret were especially bad? :3c

Because I've slagged through at least three volumes of each one before giving up.

lol sure you have. :3c

You keep telling yourself that so you feel better about your shitty taste in manga

Who said anything about my taste in manga? Troll harder bb. :3c

You did by assuming nobody could've read those and not enjoyed them, bb. But whatever lets you sleep at night.

P.S. -- I'm trolling more than hard enough if you keep replying ;)

Oh did I say that nobody could've read those and not enjoyed them? Hmm let me see hmm no I didn't. :3c

P.S. -- Good. ;3c

*psh* Most of these were oneshot volumes, it's rare for BL manga to be more than a volume, much less three.

If you're going to troll, you should at least know your trolling subject better.

DA

Actually, most of the ones the OP posted were 4 volumes plus. It's rare that a BL manga is LESS than that. If you're going to correct someone, try being right first.

No, that's not entirely true, at least not in my experience. The vast majority of my collection (granted, it's only maybe 30-40 volumes) is made up of one-shots. Of course, it could just be that the mangaka I enjoy tend to do one-shots. Of course I'm not saying there aren't a lot of BL series with 4+ volumes in them, just that I personally tend to see far more one-shots than series. Haven't read most of the stuff on OP's like though, so I can't say anything on those.

Lol no. Most modern BL manga rarely make it past a volume.

Dang, I was hoping great recs would have come out of that.

Also, I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you, and it doesn't have anything to to do with my taste or lack thereof. I just don't think it's fair to make an absolute blanket statement like that.

But thanks for replying. :)

Why do I doubt that you actually read all of these mangas?

Because your tiny hormone-crazed fangirl brain can't fathom the idea of someone not liking this crap? I've read about three volumes of each of the series featured in the secret before deciding they were certified shit.

why the fuck would you even bother reading that much is what i'm saying. why wouldn't you just say OH WELL I GUESS THIS IS NOT MY THING, instead of continuing to slog through it and then becoming bitter and yelling at people on the internet about it

and has it occurred to you that "different taste from you" is not necessarily "shit taste." i mean good god.

Because I HAVE told people it isn't my thing, and I've been met with "you didn't give it a fair shake" and "you just haven't found the right series for you yet."

Different isn't always shitty, no. But in the case of yaoi/BL, they are synonymous. The entire genre runs on offensive, lazy writing.

loling

pitying

:3c

Re: OP

Yo I was just sayin' WHY U MAD THO

Because they repeatedly claim to have read three volumes each of a bunch of oneshots?

lol, most of those aren't one-shots.

My bad, I haven't read any of these myself and was going from what someone else had said upthread. (at least I pre-emptively used my "caught with my foot in my mouth" icon!)

You seem angry.
