    Half of wuxia/xianxia cultivation novels need to go on here, so many of them have the "younger disciple pushing reluctant MC to get together with them" trope. It's the main reason I tend to steer away from cultivation novels, just from the history of hoping that the author won't use that trope and being disappointed.

      You just said everything I had on my mind! I love master-disciple tropes but it ALWAYS ends with some r*pe or pseudo r*pe and it disgusts me because the characters just brush it all aside, and the author portrays it as "love~".

      Yes, it’s quite sad. I’m a big fan of Wuxia/Xianxia but I had to drop so many, one just a few days ago because I could already see where it was going.
      QT seems to have the same problem, it’s overall so prevalent in Danmei/BL as a whole that 7 out of 10 novels would have to go on this list.
      It’s frustrating.

      @idlehands Yes, totally. I used to read a lot of danmeis but they always end up in two directions: one, straight bottom main character falling in love with ML for no reason, or r*pe as a start of a relationship. I don't know if it's translated or not, but I read one danmei where the disciple r*pes his master (MC) when the MC was poisoned and hence unconscious, and didn't tell him until MC "died". MC was so angry when he found out because ML was like his son to him, but then later on the MC brushed it off by saying "Oh whatever, I'm not a girl anyway." Like what???? Can they stop this nonsense? r*pe is still r*pe regardless of gender oh my god. Needless to say, I dropped it after that line.

    Ik you are no longer active but are you still reading danmei?clear.png I been just reading danmei novels but most of them are so non-con/ weird asfclear.png I can look past idk maybe some toxic traits  like every straight mainstream tv show romance but these are crazy clear.png I don’t wanna give up but 8/10 story I pick up, I immediately dropped and my heart hurts even more with those occasionally good writers but just write the most deranged sh*t and the gong gets forgiven in like one second after doing the worst possible thing a man can do to his partner. I think I don’t hate dog blood but idkclear.png I am just leaving my first comment on novel-update to tell you, you are not alone and I appreciate your list about pointing out these problems

    Op, have you thought about not reading danmei? I see that you're no longer active here so it's probably a good thing you're no longer reading a genre that's obviously so triggering to you. Nearly all of your reviews are extremely scathing and cherry picking all the bad parts you find icky, magnifying problems that hardly exists, and straight up assuming the worst in the author and readers for creating/enjoying said content, to the point that even the most innocuous novel can have problematic content by your standards. I don't understand how someone so uppity like you even got into danmei in the first place.

    idk if you're going to see this but i'll still write it. i've been into danmei these days, i'm currently reading (novel and manhua) MDZS by MXTX and will continue to watch the SS2 of the donghua !! and i recently found out that she also wrote the #24 on the list (SVSSS) and heaven official's blessing! upon reading the synopsis of SVSSS, i got really scared and searched for far more details about the background story, hoping that it will be a light drama but i was wrong. i am really not a fan of tragedy tagged stories + the stressful dramas and the traumatic past a character has (not to mention the abuse you mentioned) . this list that you made is helpful for someone /like me/ who has some serious problems about these types of stories. thank you for creating this!

    p.s i created an account just to comment this lmao

    Thank you very much for alerting us to problems in BL novels, especially popular ones with high ratings and admiring reviews!clear.png

    I wanted to read some of the ones you presented on the list, and I was really scared that I could really read them, because I have a little trigger for dubcon, r*pe, and other terrible crimes and moralless things. Also I'm amazed that all these novels are very popular and are at the top of the rankingsclear.pngclear.pngclear.png
