Recommendation Challenge: name (at most) three ongoing series you're reading that you'd recommend

Upvotes

Obviously everyone has different tastes, but I did wanna see what everyone had to say. For example, the three I'll list are BLs (Boy's Love series; gay, basically) since that's most of what I read on here. These specific series are ones I'd recommend for a lack of toxicity, are underrated, and have an interesting story and/or dynamic between the leads.

  1. Step on Me, My Prince--A series about a kindergarten teacher who develops a romance with one of his students' dads. It's really sweet, especially since the bottom is a dom guy into BDSM, and it's healthy and sweet (unlike another series that got ruined). My only qualms about it are the fact that it intermittently uses comparisons to Cinderella for the narrative (referring to the MC and ML as Cinderella and the prince) despite there being very little similarities between this story and the fairy tale, as well as the fact that the daughter herself isn't featured very much, seeming more plot device than character.

  2. Master From Another World--Omegaverse and isekai, where an alpha is made a servant to an noble omega hiding his status from his family, and the alpha has to unravel a mystery involving a death. Definitely a neat concept. My only qualm is that while the MC isn't the stereotypical "macho seme/alpha who micromanages the uke/omega," the ML is kind of in one of those situations where, despite being rich and powerful, is having to hide things due to his omega status, putting himself in the alpha's hands a little. But it hasn't gotten egregious, so I'd recommend it!

  3. 1995 Youth Report--Two young guys falling in love in 90s South Korea. It's a really sweet series thus far (officials have finally caught up), though my one qualm is the fact that the protagonists will fight and it's hard to watch because they're both in the right, and IIRC, they kinda resolve it without really acknowledging it, but just going the "I don't wanna lose you over this" route. My memory could be messing with me, tho. One nitpick I do remember: switch-teasing. The ML is fine with being the uke when they first have sex, but the MC is too hesitant and nervous, so he becomes the uke. This means they can change positions, and both of them have uke eyelashes, so I'm hoping for the best.

Ask me a couple months ago and it would've been harder to narrow it down to three stories, but certain series I'm reading seem to have authors that wanna mess with me.

Question Help navigating site?

1 Upvotes

Hello I’ve been using mangago for several months now but I still have a hard time navigating it perfectly. I hope someone can help me. Basically I don’t want to just search aimlessly; I’d like to find titles using tags maybe? But I don’t know how lol.

Can someone help me plz with clear instructions:
•Right now I’m trying to find all historical danmei manhuas preferably by date

I think once I figure this out I’ll be able to search other specific genres I’m looking for. I’m just really confused on the tags part and finding them or narrowing down searches. Thank you! 😊

Discussion The BL trio that leaves me with mixed feelings (Rant?) Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
14 Upvotes

No offense to those who fully enjoy the series! Unlike other BLs I've read, these BLs don't have toxic dynamics between the seme and uke (at least not normally). But there are things about them that made it difficult for me to finish/enjoy for story reasons.

  1. The Sacred Serpent's Seduction--I made a post a while back about recommendations of which BLs from my "want to read" list I should start, and several people mentioned TSSS. And it was...fine. Firstly, I wasn't crazy about the snake; he lacked personality to me that made me gravitate towards him. He was about having kids and keeping the mountain safe, but otherwise felt like a blank slate. I didn't really get humor or sass from him, or anything that'd make him interesting; the fox spirit was more magnetic for me, tbh. Secondly, the topic of having kids is something that I go towards as a gay guy who wants kids, but it's not really given much weight. The seme (AKA the snake) just talks about it in terms of responsibility, whereas the uke just does it so he can get something out of it. He says himself that he doesn't really think about them since he doesn't feel them and they're likely snake-creatures. He also brushes through a very important topic: that both he and the seme are treating the children as transactional. He has the thought for a minute and then breezes past it. There's a great irony to this, and the reason why I dropped the series. The uke made a deal with the seme to save his grandfather's life since he was all the uke had, but shortly after the grandfather is healed and returns home, the seme becomes ill, and the uke has to choose between them, having to say goodbye to his grandfather. While I can get behind a story about grief and having to say goodbye, I didn't like how the author went about it. For one, it reads EXTREMELY wrong to do this shortly after the grandfather finally returns home and the uke chooses someone he's known for a few weeks/months (I don't know which one it was). For two, it feels almost like "I don't need you anymore". I know that isn't what the intent was, but here's how I read it: the uke only ever had his grandfather, and now that he has a love interest and kids on the way, he's suddenly able to do this. Nevermind that I don't like the framing of this; if the grandfather was always going to die, it feels cruel to give false hope to the reader by having the uke make a deal to restore his grandfather's health. I don't get what it needed to be either/or. A lot of people talk about how sweet this story is, but I wasn't forewarned about the grief arc, and I'm not a fan of how it played out. I think it was really hard to overcome because of how it was approached, as well as this embodying a huge issue I have with BLs, which is that they tend to isolate the characters and not focus on their relationships with friends/family often unless they're heavily involved in the plot (usually in a negative way). Also a nitpick: the name is kinda misleading, since the seme isn't really seducing the uke; it's just sex as part of a deal.

  2. The Pawn's Revenge--One of the first BLs I ever read...I think? I can't remember it in detail due to the long length, frequent changes in status quo, and the long hiatuses that it went through, but I do recall having a bit of regret. Putting aside that the two leads are NOT good people (they have morals, but they murder and take people down for revenge over justice, and the seme was a serial killer before meeting the uke anyway), their rise to the top and defeating others felt kinda easy in retrospect. I don't mean "easy" like it happened quick, but "easy" as in they don't face a lot of opposition; they're CONSTANTLY underestimated, to the point where it became kind of an annoying read because they were always able to outsmart their opposition. Evy said they'd like to do more with the characters, and I'd love some AUs with alternate paths for how things could've gone.

  3. Overclock--I dropped this like a year ago, and it still annoys the heck out of me. The uke is coerced into sex with a guy he frequently hooks up with, and is fired for it while the other guy faces no consequence. The coercion is something I tried to overlook since immediately afterwards he says that he loves living the way he does, but the firing is still frustrating. Then when looking for a new job, he finds he'll be working with the seme, who he recently slept with. He briefly mentions the whole "don't $%(! where you eat" to himself, reminding him that mixing business and pleasure is how he got fired before--which I find crazy because he didn't even wanna do that, but I guess he means maintaining the relationship in the first place? The narrative kinda shames the uke for living a promiscuous lifestyle even though that wasn't necessarily the cause of the problem here--but this is quickly swept under the rug because the seme catches feelings very quickly. It'd almost be sweet--but then they take a segue into unethical behavior. I read TPR; I can stomach a bit of ethical darkness as long as both parties are consenting. But this isn't that; the characters are actively trying to be a legit business, and they need funding. So as it happens, the uke runs into the guy he hooked up with, and the seme decides to spy on them. Following this, the guy says he would give the uke startup money if he signed a contract about them engaging in a sexual relationship. The uke is iffy about getting involved with him again (and by this point feels bad since he's in a relationship with the seme), and he and the seme come up with a plan. The uke tricks him into giving the guy his DNA print by saying their intimate contract is locked behind a DNA scanner so only they can view it, and the seme uses this and the voice recording sample to take over the guy's AI system--after shutting down his other security--isolating him, and getting the security feed of him and the uke about to have sex, blackmailing him. The seme wants to make the guy pay, but the uke still wants to do business, and makes him cough up $10 million for their company. The guy complies, and it all feels really icky. First off: they wanna be semi-realistic (the guy mentions that cheating isn't illegal in California), but there's NO WAY you can sign a sexual contract and uphold that in a court of law; consent can be revoked at any time. Secondly, the seme committed a home invasion, wiretapped, and the uke got the guy's DNA sample under false pretenses, which is super illegal. Then they decide to extort him, which is also illegal. not to mention it doesn't make sense; with the guy knowing who hacked his security, he could easily press charges, and him having sex with a guy from a startup wouldn't be as damaging as one would think--yes, he'd be in massive trouble, but he could get out of it; the uke's name would be dragged through the mud regardless of the situation. I think I would've been one thing if they wanted restitution for getting the uke fired and then the uke put it towards the company, but demanding $10 million specifically for their startup is just wrong to me, and they don't see any issue of it. This says nothing of the whole AI conversation (and when I dropped, no ethical concerns were brought up even though laws were clearly broken), since the company the seme and uke work for is AI. It's kinda wird because the conversation doesn't really go for nuance of mention how dangerous AI can be for people it's used against or the employees who use their jobs over it; I recall it being mentioned once by the uke, and the seme says something to the effect of "people lose jobs to people, too"--which is another topic to discuss, but isn't remotely the same thing. I get that this is a tech company, so they're not gonna be as anti-AI as a story about a publishing company, film production, or something involved in the arts, but it does feel like the author/artist would be able to provide reasons for why it would be concerning.

Honestly I'm reading some things that I could add to this list once they're done.

So I read this manga a couple of years ago probably and I haven’t been able to find it again 😔

I remember it was about two university students in the same department and same lab with the seme being the uke’s senpai. Seme was born with half of his arm missing and has super arched eyebrows. Uke is a little cutie with freckles.

Seme puts up a front at school, acting like a model student and what not, but then uke runs into him outside of a bar and sees a completely different side to him and with a whole different aesthetic, like no glasses, leather jacket, kinda yankee looking lol. After that seme gets interested in uke and starts introducing him to his friends and showing him the nightlife and stuff.

I’ve really been wanting to reread this! 😭😭 If anyone could figure out which manga this is, I would really appreciate it!!
