Happy Lesbian Day! 💗

I wish all of you an amazing day filled with love, happiness, and unforgettable moments. May you always have reasons to smile, people who love and support you, and the strength to keep being exactly who you are.

I love GLs, and I’m so happy to be able to follow so many amazing stories and memorable female characters!

Some of my favorite GLs are Sadistic Beauty: Side A, Hate Me, Love Is an Illusion! – The Queen, and Bad Thinking Diary. These are the names of the GL manhwas shown in the pictures.

May God bless all women, today and always. Happy Lesbian Day to all of us! 🌷💗

I know this has nothing to do with BL manhwas, but I just wanted to share that I finally achieved a dream of mine—I bought one of my favorite manga! 🥹 I almost cried when I saw it in the bookstore, which is why I wasn't very active today.

The manga is Pink Heart Jam. 💗

I also bought Dear Door and Painter of the Night, and I'll show them to you all later. I just wanted to share my excitement with you!

I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, especially among longtime Passion fans, but after reading both the original story and Passion: Raga, I came to the conclusion that, for me, Raga actually surpassed the original.

First of all, I want to make it clear that I absolutely love Passion. I consider it one of the best BLs ever written. The world-building is incredible, the storytelling is exceptionally well-crafted, the characters are unforgettable, and the psychological tension throughout the series is simply amazing.

The relationship between (Taeui & Ilay) became iconic in the BL community for a reason. They have incredible chemistry, outstanding dialogue, and a dynamic that keeps you invested from beginning to end. Without their story, the Passion universe would never have become what it is today.

That said, as much as I admire Passion, it was (Yuri & Xinlu) who truly captured my heart.

In my opinion, (Yuri & Xinlu) share a much deeper psychological and emotional connection. Their relationship goes far beyond physical attraction or obsession. It's built gradually through trust, vulnerability, and the unique way they see and understand each other in ways no one else can.

Xinlu is, in my opinion, one of the most complex characters in the entire Passion universe. He's unstable, unpredictable, manipulative, and morally questionable, yet he's also profoundly lonely and emotionally broken. As his story unfolds, it becomes clear that there's so much more beneath the surface than what first appears. He's not an easy character to understand, and I think that's exactly what makes him so fascinating.

And that's where Yuri comes in.

Yuri doesn't try to force Xinlu to change, nor does he magically "fix" him. Instead, he becomes the one person capable of reaching a part of Xinlu that no one else ever could. Many fans even joke that Yuri is Xinlu's "water" because he represents his only source of peace, his safe haven, and the only person capable of calming the chaos inside him. I find that symbolism beautiful, and it's one of the most touching aspects of the entire franchise.

I also love how (Yuri & Xinlu)'s relationship is built through small, quiet moments. Often, they communicate far more through glances, gestures, and silence than through words. That makes their bond feel incredibly natural, intimate, and genuine.

As for (Taeui & Ilay), I fully recognize how well-written they are. Ilay is a brilliantly crafted character—highly intelligent and one of the most compelling characters in the series. His development throughout the story is excellent, and I completely understand why so many readers consider him one of the greatest BL characters.

However, I could never bring myself to like him as a person.

As much as Ilay grows, matures, and develops genuine feelings for Taeui, I simply can't overlook everything he did at the beginning of the story. He sexually abused and raped Taeui multiple times, and that's something that has always weighed heavily on me. Yes, he changes, and that character development is undeniably well-written, but personally, it was never enough to erase my first impression of him.

Xinlu is far from being a good person as well. He also commits terrible acts and is far from morally righteous. However, to me, there's an important difference between the two. Xinlu's actions never created the same sense of rejection that I felt toward Ilay. His internal struggles, hidden vulnerability, and the way his relationship with Yuri develops allowed me to connect with him on a much deeper level.

In the end, I'm not saying that Passion is worse than Raga. Quite the opposite. I still consider Passion a masterpiece and one of the greatest BLs I've ever read.

I simply believe that (Yuri & Xinlu) moved me far more than (Taeui & Ilay) ever did.

To me, they have the strongest dynamic in the entire Passion universe. Their psychological connection, emotional depth, symbolism, and slow-burn relationship make their story even more impactful. They're a couple who made me reflect, suffer alongside them, and root for them until the very end.

This is, of course, just my personal opinion, and I completely respect those who prefer (Taeui & Ilay). But for me, (Yuri & Xinlu) represent the absolute peak of the entire Passion universe.

Thank you for reading my post about Passion. ❣️

Olá novamente, pessoal! Hoje, finalmente cheguei a uma conclusão muito importante sobre minha vida amorosa: descobri meu tipo de homem.

E a resposta é simples: homens ricos, nerds, gentis e completamente malucos. Sim, exatamente nessa ordem. 😌

Antes que alguém me julgue, quero deixar claro que este post NÃO é sobre aparência. Claro, muitos deles são lindos, mas o que realmente me atrai é a personalidade. Estou falando de suas características, as coisas que me fazem amá-los, não das coisas problemáticas que alguns deles fazem em suas histórias.

Então, aqui está a lista de homens que moldaram meus padrões (e provavelmente arruinaram minhas expectativas para a vida real):

1. Master Peace – Ahn Pyeonghwa: talvez eu tenha uma queda por masoquistas? Talvez. 🫣

2. Lost in the Cloud – Cirrus: bonito, inteligente e um pouco insano. O pacote completo.

3. Nerd Project – Andrew: homens inteligentes que conseguem fazer tudo? Sim, por favor.

4. Semantic Error – Jaeyoung: um nerd que também é incrivelmente charmoso. Como isso é possível?

5. Fools – Kwon Eungi: aparentemente, tenho uma enorme fraqueza por nerds.

6. Walk on Water – Glenn: não tenho explicação. É simplesmente o Glenn.

7. Alpha Trauma – Kim Do Hyun: uma verdadeira bandeira verde em um oceano cheio de bandeiras vermelhas.

8. Smyrna & Capri: simplesmente... que homem. 🙈

9. Our Sunny Days – Kwon Haebeom: claramente tenho uma queda por homens grandes e carinhosos.

10. Killer Crush – Dahyuk: homens fofos também têm um lugar especial no meu coração.

11. Even in Your Death – Minyoung: homens de terno deveriam ser considerados um tesouro do patrimônio mundial.

12. Honey Bear – Geonwoo: fofo, gentil e adorável. Perfeito.

13. Yang Il-woo and Me – Yang Il-woo: gosto de homens loiros fofos, não dos tóxicos.

14. O Convite Encantador para Jantar do Assassino Llewellyn – Llewellyn: mais um loiro saudável para a minha coleção.

15. A Vingança – Yoon Jay: dizem que dinheiro não compra felicidade, mas com certeza ajuda.

16. Aço Sob Seda – Kwon Heeryang: eu também tenho cicatrizes, então sinto uma conexão especial com ele.

17. Garoto Pérola – Kang Dooshik: fumem com moderação.

18. Um Primeiro Verão – Yeoreum: homens que tocam instrumentos ganham pontos extras automaticamente.

19. Cinzeiro Queimando Cigarro: aparentemente, tenho um histórico preocupante de gostar de homens um pouco insanos.

20. Paixão – Yuri Raga: Eu também tenho dificuldade em expressar minhas emoções, então me identifico muito com ele.

Conclusão: meu tipo ideal é uma mistura de nerd, gentil, emocionalmente complexo, um pouco instável, rico (se possível) e completamente apaixonado por mim.

Será que estou pedindo demais? Talvez. Mas sonhar não custa nada.

P.S.: Só para deixar claro, amar esses personagens não significa que eu desculpe ou apoie todas as suas ações nos manhwas. Alguns deles realmente precisam de terapia, reflexão e talvez até de prisão. Eu os amo porque são personagens complexos, interessantes e bem construídos — não porque concordo com tudo o que fazem.

E você, qual é o seu tipo? Que tipo de homem ou mulher você gosta? Quanto à minha mulher ideal... definitivamente é a Sua de Alien Stage. ❤️

Amo vocês! 💋

Hello everyone, it's me again. 😽(I apologize if the text is too long; I put a lot of effort into writing it. I hope you like it.)

Those who have seen my previous posts probably already know that I love discussing manhwas, characters, and especially the psychological aspects behind them. Reading BL has become one of my biggest hobbies, and as I explored more stories, I noticed that one of the discussions that appears most often within the community is the following:

DO TRAUMAS JUSTIFY ACTIONS?

For a long time, my answer to this question was a simple "no."

I believed that regardless of what someone had gone through, their actions remained entirely their own responsibility. In other words, I thought that suffering did not give anyone the right to make other people suffer.

Today, my view on this subject is much more complex.

Not because I believe trauma automatically turns someone into a good person, or because I think a tragic past erases the mistakes someone has made. Quite the opposite. What changed was my understanding of how deeply suffering can affect the human mind.

Many people treat trauma as if it were nothing more than painful memories stored in someone's head. In reality, however, trauma can completely change the way a person perceives the world, interprets relationships, forms emotional bonds, and reacts to stressful situations.

When someone goes through extremely painful experiences, especially during childhood or adolescence, we are not simply talking about sadness. We are talking about personality development, identity formation, and the way that person learns to love, trust, fear, cope with rejection, and see themselves.

That is why I believe there is a huge difference between two things that many readers often confuse:

"Explaining an action is not the same as justifying an action."

Understanding why a character became the way they are does not mean agreeing with their behavior. Recognizing that someone was a victim does not mean ignoring the fact that they may later become responsible for hurting others.

It is precisely along this delicate line that many manhwas operate.

Unfortunately, there are also works that use trauma as a kind of narrative excuse. A character does terrible things for dozens of chapters, and when the time finally comes to explain their behavior, the story presents a tragic backstory and expects the reader to forget everything that happened.

And honestly?

It does not always work.

A painful past can explain a behavior, but an explanation is not an absolution.

There are characters who suffered tremendously and still tried to break the cycle of violence. Likewise, there are characters who lived relatively comfortable lives and still became cruel people.

That is why I think it is dangerous when readers analyze characters solely based on what they have suffered.

Suffering is not a competition. Not every victim reacts the same way. Not every trauma produces the same consequences.

And that is exactly what makes human psychology so fascinating.

1. MASTER PEACE

For me, Master Peace is one of the most interesting examples of how trauma can influence a person's psychological development.

Ahn Pyeong-hwa did not only experience violence. He experienced violence from someone who held a position of authority and protection in his life.

This is important because, psychologically, traumatic experiences involving trusted figures tend to leave extremely deep scars.

When a child learns that the person who is supposed to protect them is actually the one hurting them, their perception of safety and affection can become completely distorted.

Trust stops feeling natural. Affection becomes confused with control. Vulnerability starts to feel dangerous.

Many victims grow up believing that pain and affection can coexist, that emotional dependency is love, and that suffering is normal.

That is why I find it extremely simplistic when some people reduce characters like Ahn Pyeong-hwa to being merely "problematic" or "weird."

A large part of his conflicts does not arise because he is a bad person. They arise because he spent years trying to psychologically survive something that should never have happened.

That does not mean he is always right.

But it does mean that his actions have understandable roots within the narrative.

And good writing does exactly that.

It does not ask you to agree with the character.

It asks you to understand him.

(And yes, I will continue defending my husband, Ahn Pyeong-hwa.)

2. LOST IN THE CLOUD

If Master Peace is about trauma and identity, Lost in the Cloud is about trauma and abandonment.

In my opinion, Cirrus perfectly represents how prolonged loneliness can distort the way someone views relationships.

Losing his mother during childhood would already be devastating on its own. However, the problem does not end there.

After that loss, he grows up in an environment where his emotional needs are not properly met.

As a result, he begins looking for in other people what he should have received at home: protection, validation, attention, and affection.

The problem is that emotionally vulnerable people often become easy targets for manipulative individuals.

And that is exactly what happens.

After being used and betrayed by someone he deeply trusted, Cirrus develops extremely destructive defense mechanisms.

He manipulates. He lies. He hurts people.

But what makes him interesting is that these behaviors do not appear out of nowhere.

They emerge as a consequence of years of fear, abandonment, and insecurity.

People who grow up without emotional stability often develop an almost obsessive need to control situations.

Because control creates security.

And security is something they never had.

That is why I consider Cirrus one of the most psychologically interesting characters in BL manhwas.

He is not simply a victim.

He is not simply a bad person.

He is someone broken, trying to survive in the only way he learned.

And there is a huge difference between those three things.

Ultimately, the main goal of this reflection is not to defend problematic characters.

Nor is it to attack readers who have different opinions.

My goal is simply to encourage a deeper analysis.

I often see people reducing complex characters to statements such as:

"He suffered, so he is forgiven."

Or:

"He did something wrong, so his trauma does not matter."

But reality rarely works that way.

Human beings are contradictory.

Victims can hurt other people.

Good people can make terrible mistakes.

Traumatized people can make selfish decisions.

And seemingly cruel people can carry invisible wounds that no one sees.

It is precisely this complexity that makes certain stories so memorable.

That is why, before judging a character, I always like to ask myself:

"Am I analyzing only their actions?"

Or:

"Am I trying to understand everything that led them to those actions?"

Because understanding does not mean agreeing.

But understanding is often the first step toward a truly deep analysis.

Maybe that is exactly why I enjoy stories with morally complex characters so much. Not because I want to justify everything they do, but because I find it far more interesting to understand the path that led them there than to simply classify them as good or bad.

In my opinion, one of the greatest qualities of a good work is its ability to make the reader reflect.

Characters like Ahn Pyeong-hwa and Cirrus are not interesting because they are always right or because they are role models.

They are interesting because they feel human.

They make mistakes.

They hurt people.

They make selfish decisions.

They carry trauma.

But they also carry fears, insecurities, regrets, and desires that influence every choice they make.

That is why, when I analyze a character, I try to look beyond the surface. Not only at what they did, but also at what happened to them, how they were shaped by their experiences, and the mechanisms they developed to survive.

In the end, this post does not exist to say that trauma justifies actions.

Nor does it exist to say that trauma does not matter.

It exists because I believe the discussion is far more complex than a simple "yes" or "no."

And perhaps it is within that complexity that some of the best-written manhwa characters can be found.

Note: If anyone considers this post to contain spoilers, feel free to mention it in the comments. I tried to focus mainly on the psychological analysis of the characters rather than the central events of the stories, but I did mention some important context from Master Peace and Lost in the Cloud to develop my reflection.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to read this post. I hope you enjoy it.

If you liked it, could you please rate it from 0 to 10? I wrote something in a similar style for a college paper, so I'm curious to know whether it turned out well.

Once again, thank you very much for reading.

Wishing all of you the very best. ❤️

Guys, something I was really unsure about was the title; if it's bad, I apologize.

Bye Bye 👋

Olá novamente a todos! Espero que gostem deste post. Passei o fim de semana inteiro escrevendo o texto e adicionando tags. Obrigada por lerem. ❤️

Como muitos de vocês provavelmente já perceberam, adoro fazer posts sobre manhwas e compartilhar minhas opiniões sobre as histórias que leio. Discutir personagens, enredos, temas e diferentes interpretações é uma das minhas coisas favoritas em fazer parte desta comunidade. Recentemente, tive muitas ideias para novos posts, resenhas e discussões, então vocês provavelmente verão mais conteúdo meu ao longo da semana.

Hoje, decidi falar sobre alguns dos meus manhwas favoritos do universo Omegaverse.

Antes de começar, gostaria de deixar um aviso importante. Várias das obras mencionadas neste post contêm temas pesados ​​e sensíveis, incluindo abuso sexual, violência, manipulação emocional, relacionamentos tóxicos, trauma, sofrimento psicológico e outros conteúdos potencialmente perturbadores. Recomendo fortemente que você verifique as tags e os avisos de conteúdo antes de começar qualquer uma dessas histórias.

Esta não é necessariamente uma classificação da melhor para a pior, nem estou afirmando que estas são objetivamente as melhores histórias do Omegaverse já escritas. São simplesmente obras que me causaram uma forte impressão e se tornaram algumas das minhas favoritas por diferentes motivos.

Minha Lista

1. Maré Baixa no Crepúsculo (Drama, Romance, Trauma, Violência, Abuso Sexual, Conteúdo Sensível)

2. Complexo Ômega (Romance, Comédia, Gravidez Masculina)

3. Trauma Alfa (Drama, Psicológico, Abuso Sexual, Conteúdo Sensível)

4. Defina o Relacionamento (Romance, Drama, Desenvolvimento Lento, Desenvolvimento Emocional)

5. Me Beije Se Puder (Drama, Romance, Ação, Abuso Sexual, Conteúdo Sensível)

6. Me Deseje Se Puder (Romance, Drama)

7. Cão e Pássaro (Romance, Drama)

8. Você Ainda Gosta de Mim? (Romance, Comédia)

9. Um Aroma Inquietante (Drama, Psicológico)

10. Sociedade do Sal (Drama, Romance)

11. Onda em Sua Direção (Romance, Drama)

12. Síndrome de Minmotion (Drama, Romance)

13. Chamada Privada (Romance)

14. Diamante de Poeira (Romance, Drama)

15. Reencarnei como a Grande Ganso de Ouro do Alfa Dominante (Fantasia, Reencarnação, Comédia)

16. Perfume e Sensibilidade (Romance, Drama)

17. Os XX Secretos (Romance, Mistério)

18. Degenerado (Drama, Psicológico)

19. Problemas com Mel (Romance, Comédia)

20. Esmirna e Capri (Alfa × Alfa, Fantasia, Romance, Drama, Guerra, Sobrevivência)

💖 Meus favoritos absolutos são Low Tide in Twilight, Omega Complex, Define the Relationship, Kiss Me If You Can e Smyrna & Capri.

Cada uma dessas histórias se destaca por diferentes motivos, e essa é uma das coisas que mais amo nessa lista. Algumas me conquistaram pela narrativa emocionante, outras pelo desenvolvimento dos personagens e outras por conceitos únicos que as ajudaram a se destacar de muitas obras do gênero.

Omega Complex

Omega Complex é uma daquelas histórias que sempre me faz sorrir. Eu adoro a dinâmica entre os personagens e a forma como a história equilibra romance e comédia sem perder o charme. É uma leitura leve, divertida e incrivelmente agradável.

Define the Relationship

Na minha opinião, Define the Relationship é uma das melhores histórias com foco em romance do gênero. O desenvolvimento emocional parece natural e crível, permitindo que os leitores vivenciem plenamente cada etapa do relacionamento. A química entre os protagonistas é genuinamente incrível e uma das mais fortes que já vi em um BL.

Kiss Me If You Can

Kiss Me If You Can é uma história intensa e carregada de emoção. Definitivamente não é para todos devido aos temas que explora, mas me cativou completamente do início ao fim. A tensão, a dinâmica dos personagens e a constante sensação de que qualquer coisa poderia acontecer tornaram a leitura muito envolvente.

Smyrna & Capri

Smyrna & Capri merece reconhecimento especial por oferecer algo diferente. A dinâmica Alfa × Alfa, a construção do mundo e os conflitos apresentados ao longo da história ajudam a destacá-la de muitos outros títulos do gênero. É uma história que parece única e memorável à sua maneira.

Maré Baixa no Crepúsculo

Agora chegamos à história que ocupa um lugar muito especial no meu coração.

Maré Baixa no Crepúsculo é provavelmente um dos títulos mais controversos desta lista. É uma história que constantemente gera debates, críticas, elogios e opiniões extremamente divididas entre os leitores. Algumas pessoas a adoram, enquanto outras não conseguem continuar a leitura.

Honestamente, consigo entender os dois lados.

A história aborda temas extremamente pesados ​​e muitos dos eventos que ocorrem ao longo da narrativa são profundamente desconfortáveis. Por isso, quero deixar algo bem claro.

Não justifico o abuso presente na história.

Não justifico a violência.

Não justifico as ações abusivas cometidas ao longo da narrativa.

Gostar de uma história não significa concordar com tudo o que acontece nela.

O que torna Low Tide in Twilight especial para mim não é o abuso, o trauma ou o sofrimento.

O que me faz apreciar esta história é a forma como ela explora as consequências dessas ações e como lida com o desenvolvimento dos personagens.

Taeju começa a história como uma pessoa extremamente falha e problemática. Ele machuca as pessoas, toma decisões terríveis e demonstra comportamentos que tornam muito difícil simpatizar com ele. Durante grande parte da história, ele está longe de ser alguém admirável.

No entanto, o que mais me impressionou foi observar seu crescimento.

A história não apaga seus erros.

A história não finge que nada aconteceu.

A história não o transforma magicamente em uma pessoa melhor.

Em vez disso, seu crescimento é lento, gradual e construído ao longo de muitos capítulos.

Conforme a narrativa avança, Taeju é forçado a confrontar as consequências de seus atos. Aos poucos, ele começa a entender a dor que causou, reconhece situações que antes ignorava e aprende a agir de forma diferente.

O que acho particularmente interessante é que seu desenvolvimento nunca parece apressado. As mudanças em seu caráter não são imediatas e há muitos momentos em que ele luta, falha ou precisa encarar verdades difíceis sobre si mesmo. É isso que torna sua jornada crível para mim.

Se os leitores perdoarão Taeju ou não, é uma decisão inteiramente deles, e eu respeito completamente ambas as perspectivas. Nem todos os leitores verão o arco do personagem dele da mesma forma, e isso é perfeitamente compreensível.

O que eu pessoalmente aprecio é que a história permite que ele cresça sem fingir que seu passado nunca existiu.

É por isso que considero o arco do personagem dele um dos mais memoráveis ​​que já encontrei em um BL.

Quando digo que ele passou de uma bandeira negra para uma bandeira verde, não estou dizendo que seus erros desapareceram ou que todos deveriam perdoá-lo.

Estou simplesmente reconhecendo que seu crescimento foi escrito de uma forma que pareceu consistente, crível e impactante.

Poucas histórias conseguiram mudar minha percepção de um personagem tanto quanto Low Tide in Twilight.

No final, esta não é minha história favorita porque apresenta o relacionamento mais saudável ou os personagens mais perfeitos.

É o meu favorito porque apresenta uma das jornadas mais fascinantes de crescimento, responsabilidade, arrependimento e mudança que já encontrei no gênero.

Obrigado por ler este post tão longo!

Agora, adoraria saber a sua opinião.

Qual título desta lista é o seu favorito?

Há alguma história aqui que você ame tanto quanto eu?

Ou há algum título que todos parecem gostar, mas com o qual você simplesmente não conseguiu se conectar?

Estou ansioso para ler as opiniões de todos e discutir essas histórias com vocês!

Antes que alguém mencione, quero fazer uma pequena observação sobre Esmirna e Capri. Não tenho certeza se tecnicamente é considerada uma história do Omegaverse ou não. Pelo que sei, a série inclui Alfas e Ômegas e usa vários elementos comumente associados a cenários do Omegaverse, embora também se incline bastante para a fantasia e siga sua própria construção de mundo única.

Por causa disso, decidi incluí-la nesta lista. No entanto, se não se encaixa oficialmente no gênero Omegaverse, peço desculpas por incluí-la aqui. Independentemente do rótulo, continua sendo uma das minhas histórias BL favoritas e uma das leituras mais memoráveis ​​que já fiz.

Novamente, digo que não concordo com o abuso que Taegu comete, mas reconheço que ele mudou muito e merece uma segunda chance.

Por favor, sem comentários maldosos.

Olá a todos! Espero que gostem deste comentário, levei 2 dias para fazê-lo, rsrs.

Aqui estão alguns manhwas BL que considero muito subestimados. Eles não são necessariamente desconhecidos, mas é surpreendentemente raro ver pessoas falando sobre eles ou dando-lhes o reconhecimento que merecem. Pessoalmente, eu adoro todos os títulos desta lista, especialmente Réunion e Dark Heaven, que são meus favoritos e algumas das melhores histórias BL que já li.

Antes de começar a ler, quero deixar um aviso de conteúdo. Vários desses manhwas contêm temas muito pesados ​​e sensíveis, incluindo abuso sexual, violência, homofobia, abuso psicológico, bullying, trauma e outros assuntos perturbadores. Por favor, verifique as tags antes e certifique-se de que se sente confortável com o conteúdo.

Manhwas (na ordem das imagens):

1. Réunion — Drama, trauma, relacionamentos complexos, cura emocional.

18. What a Catch — Romance, comédia, cotidiano.

19. Moritat — Violência, assassinato, drama psicológico.

20. Midnight — Agressão sexual, violência, trauma psicológico.

Os que eu mais recomendo são:

🥇 Réunion — Uma história incrivelmente emocionante e lindamente escrita que merece muito mais reconhecimento.

🥈 Dark Heaven — Um dos manhwas BL mais impactantes que já li. Aborda temas difíceis com profundidade e deixa uma marca duradoura.

🥉 Stigma — Uma história comovente e intensa com personagens inesquecíveis.

⭐ For Your Love — Um romance doce, mas significativo, que aborda preconceito e crescimento pessoal. ⭐ King Maker — Uma história complexa e controversa com excelente intriga política e desenvolvimento de personagens.

Espero que goste dessas recomendações! A maioria dessas histórias me impressionou bastante e acredito que merecem mais atenção da comunidade BL.

Leia com responsabilidade e preste atenção aos avisos de conteúdo, especialmente nos títulos que abordam temas mais pesados.

Acho que haverá uma Parte 2 ainda hoje, então fique ligado!

Please, let's not turn this into a debate about popularity. The purpose of this comment isn't to determine whether these works are famous or unknown, but to highlight stories that, in my opinion, deserve far more recognition than they currently receive. These are incredibly well-written, emotional, and memorable works that left a strong impression on me. Regardless of how popular they are or how many readers they have, I believe they deserve more appreciation and discussion because they are genuinely amazing.🐱

Hello everyone! I’ve been wanting to ask this for a long time, so here it goes: what is your all-time favorite BL? And I don’t mean just something you like right now, but that one story you could never replace, the one that will always have a special place in your heart no matter how many others you read.

Because I’ve noticed something. I have friends who say they love Codename Anastasia or Roses and Champagne, but over time they always end up changing their favorites and moving on to something new. And every time I see that, I can’t help but wonder… how do you let go so easily?

Because for me, it’s completely different.

I could never — and honestly, I don’t even want to — let go of Lost in the Cloud. This manhwa means so much to me in a way I can’t fully explain. I followed it from the very beginning, waiting for every single chapter release, feeling every emotion along the way. And even now that it has ended, I still go back and reread it.

And no matter how many times I reread it… I always cry. Every single time.

A lot of people say they don’t like it because it’s too heavy, too angsty, too emotionally draining. Some say it doesn’t focus enough on the main couple’s romance. Others say the ending was disappointing, especially because of Minwoo, Cirrus’s parents, and the teacher.

But honestly? I completely disagree.

As one of the biggest fans, I truly believe that Paskim did an incredible job. And I say this with my whole heart: this is one of the best endings I have ever seen in a manhwa.

Minwoo coming back would make absolutely no sense. He never truly loved Skyler, and that was always obvious. Forcing him back into the story would only make things more painful and meaningless.

The teacher? Not even worth considering. And Cirrus’s parents… after everything that happened, they simply don’t matter anymore.

What truly matters is this: after all the suffering, all the pain, all the trauma, all the misunderstandings and emotional scars… Cirrus and Skyler finally made it. They are together. And more than that — they are happy.

And that means everything.

I think one of the reasons I love Lost in the Cloud so much is because of how real it feels. It’s not a perfect love story. It’s messy, painful, complicated, and deeply human. The characters feel real. Their struggles feel real. Their growth feels real.

You don’t just watch their story — you feel it.

And don’t even get me started on the art. The style is absolutely beautiful. Every expression, every detail, every panel carries emotion. Sometimes, you don’t even need dialogue to understand what they’re feeling.

It’s the kind of story that stays with you.

Honestly, I could reread Lost in the Cloud forever and never get tired of it. In fact, I reread it again just yesterday… and yes, I cried all over again like it was the first time.

That’s how much it means to me.

So now I really want to know… what is your all-time favorite BL? The one you will never replace, never forget, and will always come back to, no matter how much time passes?

Guys, be honest, okay?

I only decided to make this comment because I'm curious to know which manhwa is more beloved, whether it's a "green flag" or a "red flag" manhwa.

I love boys lovers ❤️

Happy Birthday, Cirrus — always in my heart.

First of all… happy birthday, Cirrus. I had to start like this, because I can’t talk about Lost in the Cloud without starting with you. You’re not just a character I like — you’re someone who stayed with me, someone I carry with me for real. Some characters fade with time, but you don’t. You never leave.

I always talk about Lost in the Cloud, and it’s not just because it’s “good”… it’s because it truly helped me. In a quiet, deep way that’s hard to explain. There were moments when my mind felt overwhelming, when my feelings were messy and confusing, when I didn’t even understand myself… and then I read it, and it felt like everything I couldn’t say was finally there.

It’s strange when a story understands you without even knowing you. But that’s exactly what this one did for me.

Lost in the Cloud isn’t light or simple, and it doesn’t try to make everything look perfect. And maybe that’s exactly why it comforts me so much. Because it shows complicated emotions, mistakes, pain, confusion… people who don’t always know what to do, but keep going anyway. And that made me feel less alone more times than I can count.

And Cirrus… I see myself in him. In the way he keeps things inside, in how he feels so deeply but doesn’t always know how to deal with it. He’s not perfect, and he’s not meant to be — and that’s what makes him feel real. Some parts of him hurt to see, but at the same time, they make sense in a way that hits deep.

And Skyler too. The way he feels, reacts, gets attached, and sometimes gets lost… there are moments that feel almost too real. Not just a small resemblance, but something deeper — like seeing parts of myself reflected in him, things I don’t always say out loud.

And because of that, without even realizing it, they became my comfort. Not in a fantasy way, but in a real one. Like having a place I can go back to when everything feels too much — a place where my feelings make sense, where I don’t have to pretend I’m okay all the time.

Lost in the Cloud became more than just a story to me. It became a feeling. A safe place. Something that stayed with me and helped me in ways I didn’t even expect.

So today…

happy birthday, Cirrus.

And thank you. For being part of a story that means so much to me, for being so real, so complex, and so unforgettable.

I love Lost in the Cloud.

And I love you, Cirrus — more than I can put into words. 💙

PARTE 4, PESSOAL 💋✨

Estamos REALMENTE chegando perto do fim… vocês acreditam? Essa jornada foi TUDO, e amanhã finalmente chegamos à PARTE 5 — o capítulo FINAL desta saga 😭💔 Depois disso… vamos direto para o meu ranking TOP, e acredite, eu tenho MUITO a dizer 😌🔥

Mas por enquanto, vamos apreciar a lista de hoje porque ela está REPLETA de bottoms icônicos, caóticos, emocionantes e inesquecíveis que realmente carregam suas histórias:

1. Minmotion Syndrome

2. The Secretive XX

3. Accidental Baby

4. You Are So Lovely

5. Hard-Boiled Love

6. No Returns After Use (SIM, eu amo psicopatas) 🙃)

7. Swallow You Whole

8. Honey Bear

9. Form of Symphony

10. Mangjong

11. Stage Behind

12. Stranger Than Friends

13. Amber Alert

14. R2R: Run to Red

15. After Meal

16. Old Love

17. Unsleep

18. All for Me

19. Cry Me a River

20. Vingança (⚠️ AVISO: temas muito pesados)

Sinceramente… essa parte é INSANA. A variedade??? Temos personagens sensíveis, quebrados, fortes, manipuladores, emotivos e completamente desequilibrados, tudo em uma única lista. É exatamente por isso que eu amo tanto BL — quando é bem feito, os personagens parecem REAIS, complexos e impossíveis de esquecer.

E eu PRECISO falar sobre isso…

Síndrome de Minmotion.

Número 1.

Aquele homem NÃO é normal… e eu digo isso no MELHOR sentido possível. A presença, a personalidade, a maneira como ele conduz a história??? É simplesmente de outro nível. Ele não é apenas um personagem, ele é uma EXPERIÊNCIA. Cada cena impacta mais, cada emoção parece mais profunda. Para mim, ele não é apenas bom — ele é PERFEITO. Ninguém faz como ele. NINGUÉM. 😩🔥

E sim… eu já disse antes e vou repetir:

EU AMO personagens psicopatas 🙃

A tensão, a imprevisibilidade, a intensidade… tudo isso torna muito mais viciante. Se um personagem me deixa nervosa E obcecada ao mesmo tempo? É, já me conquistou.

Além disso, não ignore os outros desta lista, porque há MUITAS joias subestimadas aqui. Algumas dessas histórias são emocionantes, outras são caóticas, outras são puro drama — mas todas elas têm algo especial.

Estamos quase no fim desta saga, e na verdade eu não estou pronta para dizer adeus 😭 mas ao mesmo tempo… estou MUITO animada para o que vem a seguir.

Amanhã: PARTE 5 — A FINAL 💔✨

E depois disso… meus TOPS. Meus favoritos absolutos. Os melhores dos melhores. Aqueles que me DOMINAM completamente 💋

Fiquem comigo até o fim, meus amores… vamos terminar isso juntos 💕 Antes de comentar sobre os bottoms, olhe as partes 1,2 e 3😽

So please help me make Part 5 INSANE, full of the absolute best bottoms out there. I want only the elite, the ones that truly left a mark 👀🔥

Guys, if I don't fall asleep by 11 AM, I'll post part 3 today, hehe. 💋

Pessoal, eu queria dizer isso HÁ MUITO TEMPO, e finalmente vou dizer em alto e bom som: para mim, um manhwa BL só atinge aquele nível extremo e inesquecível — aquele que realmente fica na memória — quando AMBOS os protagonistas têm personalidades fortes, profundidade e histórias bem desenvolvidas.

Porque, sinceramente? Estou cansada. Muito cansada. Cansada de BLs onde o passivo só existe para sofrer, para ser usado, para não ter voz ou poder de decisão na própria história. Personagens sem personalidade, sem crescimento, sem presença — só estão lá para preencher um papel. Isso não é boa escrita, e definitivamente não é um romance significativo.

E vou dizer algo que muita gente pensa, mas não diz: existem muitos manhwas BL hoje em dia que nem parecem mais BL de verdade. Não porque falte romance, mas por causa de como os personagens são escritos. Quando o passivo é reduzido a algo frágil, vazio e quase como um objeto emocional, toda a dinâmica se torna superficial e desinteressante.

Mas quando o passivo é forte — quando ele tem identidade, autonomia, personalidade e profundidade — tudo muda. O relacionamento se torna equilibrado, intenso e realmente envolvente.

E outra coisa: simplesmente fazer um personagem ser homem NÃO é suficiente. Não se trata de "ele é homem, então funciona". Isso por si só não torna um personagem bom ou cativante. O que realmente importa é como ele é escrito — sua complexidade, sua presença, seu desenvolvimento.

Eu quero personagens que reajam, que lutem, que façam escolhas, que pareçam reais. Eu quero relacionamentos onde ambos os lados importam igualmente. Eu quero passivos que não sejam definidos pelo sofrimento, mas por sua força, sua personalidade e sua história.

E é exatamente por isso que esses manhwas BL se destacam tanto para mim — porque eles realmente apresentam personagens fortes e memoráveis:

1. Lost in the Cloud

2. Codename Anastasia

3. Roses and Champagne

4. Passion

5. Under the Green Light

6. Masterpiece

7. The Pizza Delivery Man and the Gold Palace

8. Low in the Twilight

9. Flashlight

10. Passion Raga

11. Blossoms of the White Night

12. Nerd Projeto

13. Entre as Linhas

14. Limítrofe

15. Nossos Dias Ensolarados

16. Beije-me Se Puder

17. A Busca do Fio Vermelho

18. Malfeitores e Caos

19. O Jantar à Luz de Velas do Assassino Lewellyn

20. Xeque-mate

Isso prova que É possível fazer BL de alta qualidade com personagens fortes e histórias que realmente impactam.

⚠️ A parte 2 será finalizada hoje ou amanhã?

E só para deixar claro: EU AMO passivos poderosos. São eles que transformam uma história de "apenas mais um BL"... em algo inesquecível.

Eu já estou fazendo a parte dos tops 💋

Recently I reread Lost in the Cloud (again, because I’m obsessed) and started thinking about how different things could’ve been if Minwoo had actually reciprocated Skyler in that kiss scene. Like… that alone would’ve changed EVERYTHING.

But then out of nowhere I remembered another manhwa — and honestly, I still can’t get over the ending. In my opinion, it’s easily one of the worst BL endings I’ve ever read. No hesitation.

What makes it even more frustrating is that it had EVERYTHING to be amazing: beautiful art, a really engaging plot, and characters with so much potential. I started reading around chapter 20 when it was still coming out, and I was genuinely invested.

The dynamic between Jo and Ian? So good. You could clearly see the potential there. Jo was literally perfect — respectful, kind, had a future, treated Ian well, and genuinely loved him. Honestly? If it were me, I would’ve chosen Jo the second I saw him. No questions asked.

And then the author decides to bring Taejoon back.

Like… why?

Taejoon was awful. Straight-up toxic, abusive, and he did nothing but hurt Ian the entire time. There was no proper redemption, no convincing growth, nothing that justified that ending.

And Ian… I’m sorry, but he made it so hard to defend him. I get that he had feelings for Taejoon, I really do — but at some point it just stops making sense. How do you choose someone who only hurt you over someone who clearly loves you, respects you, and wants to protect you?

It just doesn’t sit right with me at all. That ending completely ruined the story for me.

It’s not even about “oh, my favorite ship didn’t win” — it’s about coherence. The writing just threw away all the development for a forced ending that didn’t feel earned.

Anyway… definitely one of the most frustrating BL endings I’ve ever seen. It honestly felt like a waste of time.

What about you guys? Did you hate this ending too or am I overreacting? And what’s the worst BL ending you’ve ever read? 👀

Honestly, being completely real (and not counting my favorite, Cirrus from Lost in the Cloud), I think Ilay from Passion is the most beautiful blond of all 😭✨ What am I gonna do when Passion ends??

BLs (in order of the photos):

1. Passion

2. Codename Anastasia

3. Low in the Twilight

4. Roses and Champagne

5. Flashlight

6. Kiss Me If You Can

7. Backlight

8. Lost in the Cloud

9. Murderous Lewellyn’s Candlelit Dinner

10. Blossoms of the White Night

11. Dearest

12. Yang Il-woo and Me

13. Dear 00

14. The Sacred Serpent’s Seduction

15. Love Me, Revive Me

16. Checkmate

17. Between the Lines

18. Honey trouble

19. The Taming

My favorites are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 8 — and of course my love, Cirrus 🫶✨

“Even if it’s not by my side, no matter who you’re with or where you are, I hope you smile a lot.” — Cirrus, Lost in the Cloud

I absolutely love everything about Lost in the Cloud: the story, the art, the characters—even the ones we end up hating, like Minwoo. I started reading it back in 2020, when there were only about five chapters out, and I instantly fell in love with the art. I never stopped following it after that.

At that time, I was going through a lot of personal struggles, and the story became a refuge for me. I remember deeply relating to Skyler’s storyline, especially when he confesses his feelings and isn’t loved back—I went through the same thing and even faced bullying afterward. I really admire how the author portrays emotions so realistically. And honestly, Skyler is just perfect! 💋

Later on, around 2024, when the story focused on Cirrus’s past, it hit me really hard. Just a warning: that part contains heavy triggers, so please be careful when reading. I went through abusive situations in my childhood with my stepfather and had never been able to tell anyone. But when I read the scene where Skyler tells Cirrus, “It’s not your fault,” I finally found the courage to open up. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and happiness.

I’m truly grateful that this story exists, and I wish all the success in the world to the author, who is amazing.

And you, what’s your story with your favorite manhwa? 💙

OBS:LOST IN THE CLOUD FOI O PRIMEIRO MANHWA BL QUE EU LI E VOCÊ?

19 Days is such an incredible manhwa — the kind that truly pulls you in and makes you grow attached to every single character. Whenever I was feeling down, it was this story that made me smile again, that distracted me and made my days feel lighter.

I love these boys with all my heart — their friendship, the humor, the simple moments… everything has this special charm that’s honestly hard to explain, you just have to feel it.

If you give it a chance, I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it too. 💙

Guys, just a quick comment for those who’ve already read 19 Days:

I’m almost sure that in future chapters, She Li (the gray-haired one) will come back. He wouldn’t give up on Mo that easily… I feel like there’s still a lot coming, especially with his kinda questionable behavior.

This is making me SO anxious, seriously 😭

I just wanted to say it because I can’t stop thinking about it.

And please… let 19 Days take a loooong time to end 😽

Hello, everyone! I’ve been wanting to make this post about my favorite BL manhwas for about two months now, but I took a while because I wanted to be sure that I truly love these works — the kind I could reread forever.

And yes, all the manhwas in the pictures (I’ll list their names) are my favorites. I could read them millions of times without getting tired, and I wouldn’t change anything about the couples.

Of course, everyone has their own opinions, and that’s totally okay! These are just my personal favorites 💖

What about you? Is any manhwa from the photos also one of your favorites?

I’ll list the manhwas in the order of the photos, okay? And I’ll also leave a comment about each one, without spoilers, for those who haven’t read them yet!
