Mala's Yaoi Confessions (18+)

[18+] Write Me, Touch Me, Read Me

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

Write Me, Touch Me, Read Me was bad. I don't know. I want it to be good. I want it to be good really bad. I like the furry/hybrid stuff a little bit (sexually) but it's commentary on the fetishization of minorities is half-baked and extremely bad. I see this happen in yaoi but it's so much worse here because it's drawn out over the entire manwha then it just isn't really PROPERLY resolved. Like, it's just "let's talk about it" BITCH YOU SHOULD'VE TALKED ABOUT IT 20 CHAPTERS AGO.

Really this manwha isn't a slow burn; it's a "these clowns are bad at communicating over such complex issues that...

[18+] What a Catch!

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

I finally finished What a Catch! It was extremely silly. Recently, I've been writing very miserable yuri to the point where I couldn't recall how I was writing less miserable yuri before.

Then I remember.. Yaoi. I got really stressed and read less yaoi cause of stress, but I always like it. It makes me a dumb lovesick puppy, and because a lot of what I read is porn, it does it in amazing ways. Every time I read yaoi again, I feel like this is what its all about!

I found the couple here really cute and silly. I was admittedly surprised by the lack of threesome/toy action by the end. Side...

[18+] Anti P.T.

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

I read Anti PT and it was a delight. I was really struggling to get into yaoi again due to my migraines and the downfall of my beloved site though I'm finally getting the swing of things again. I read some random JP anthology manga but none I really had thoughts on. This was first "longer" thing I read in a bit.

It was very cute. Cuter than I anticipated. I thought was it had to say about cheating and wanting to be desired was new. I was really irritated by actions of Pa-Ram Lee (protagonist) but, while I don't think he is blameless, I can certainly understand him as a young gay. I still...

[18+] What a Catch!

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

More thoughts. I haven't been finishing a lot of yaoi quickly like I used to but I am reading random things. Slowly getting through Love for Sale and of course, reading some of my ongoing things (though some are onhold.)

What a Catch! has been interesting. I've had random moments where I thought I'd dislike it because I don't trust the author LOL, but she always catches me off guard and charms me. I think I began to doubt her because I wasn't confident Myeong-Tae Yun and Shin-Ju Kang as characters. I mean I like Shin-Ju as insane pervert, but as I read, I had this realization that if he...

[18+] Write Me, Touch Me, Read Me

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

This is becoming more of a liveblogging thing whoops, but it's fun! Anyways, the recent chapters of this have been interesting to me. I like the introduction of the brother character. I was getting really worn out on crime stuff in last Chapter though and while I love gangsters, I look forward to him becoming more Normal you know?

I have faith in mangaka though. I doubt he will be committing (more) crimes. I hope he gets yaoi'd. He's very moe to me in behavior. I want him to have a sidestory. We've been so zoomed in on the main two characters though ML does have a best friend (who perhaps...

[18+] Hook Line and Sinker

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

I found this manwha really funny. I'm not going to lie, and that was because of Kang Shinjoo. I don't remember a lot outside of Kang Shinjoo. I think I've reread even and my main memory is Kang Shinjoo.

There's people who really don't like this manga because of Kang Shinjoo by the way. Kang Shinjoo is a sex pest and pushes the couple together with the goal of having a threesome with them. There's a lot of other he does that are insane by the way. People who dislike this manwha often find themselves uncomfortable with the treatment of the protagonist and the misunderstandings which is fair...

[18+] Mr. A's Farm

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

Okay. So, this manwha is insane to me. I need it to be understood that I don't really read hentai. Smut manwha and hentai manwha are different, and I know that will sound like a cope, but I'm saying it because it means when I read hentai, I seee things I didn't know. I thought my normal yaoi was insane, but Mr. A's Farm tops off everything.

I'm vaguely aware that hentai often has weird plot points, but a lot of the time it's just sort of acts as vehicles for sex to happen which is why I find all of it boring. Even if I read a hentai manga/manwha with a strange plot, I sort of tune it out...

[18+] Formless

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

This was fine. It's one of those "Rich criminal abuses poor guy in debt." I don't think it's as uninteresting as a lot of other yaoi with similar plots, but honestly... Ehh..

I was invested and then it ended.

Okay, one notable thing about this manwha is that the protagonist doesn't really view Kang-Woo as a romantic partner, just an abuser which makes the final few chapters just feel ridiculous to me, but people who read the light novel said that thing is terrifying, so I might read it.

Because the story wants to tell an abuse thing so bad, and it's so close, but the ending really misses...

[18+] I Swear I'm Not a Scammer!

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

This thing is so booring and sooo poorly written. Makes me insane. I stopped reading this I think at the end of S1 and if you asked me to describe anything that happened over S1, I'd say "that guy's eyes glowed and he might've killed someone but honestly I kind of forgot"

It's one of the manwha that just sort of spirals into sex, and it's really boring. The scenes aren't good but even if they were, there's soo much that it's lame. I feel like the relationship is really built. The actual plot thing where he's a wolf doesn't really feel like anything.

I may pick it back up since we're into...

[18+] My Sadistic Master

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!

I love this manwha. It's so good. Girl reads BDSM manga and loses her mind. The protagonist is good. I enjoy him. He sort of feels like commentary on yaoi protagonists haha in that he is sort of constantly called a baby, and earlier on int he manga, he has a crush on a guy for a really long time and then moves on. Someone tries to blackmail him, and he smashes their phone because the person he loves is at risk then he gets anxious over possibly being in trouble for smashing the guys' phone over anything else. The love interest is surprised imagining this...

[18+] Toys of Trade

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

I really like Toys of Trade. I usually put off reading historical fiction for because Western historical fiction is often Evil, but the times I've read historical fiction from Korea and Japan have been pretty good, and this manwha I've enjoyed immensely. I also get this out of the way. Obviously a bunch of stuff isn't historical and for some reason every historical yaoi fan feels the need to say this. I get that some people really want accurate historical yaoi and I can sort of get that, but it feels a bit silly when opening something called "Toys of Trade"

Anyways, the dynamic between the...

[18+] Jinx (again)

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

Obviously I've talked about Jinx before but a lot of ground has been made in the manwha, so I feel as though I should talk about it again haha. I... don't think Jinx is going to be good The author of this is the same as manwhaga as BJ Alex, and BJ Alex is a classic. It's a very annoying manwha in the first half but the reward of the chase arc is really good. I also thought every character in BJ Alex was pretty fantastic.

Jinx has been compared to BJ Alex by many readers. Unfortunately, I think I have to do it too now. The cruelty of the love interest, Jae-kyung, is a mirror of BJ Alex. He...

[18+] Write Me, Touch Me, Read Me

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

I've been reading Write Me Touch Me Read Me for a while now. It's very good and also insane because that's a wolf. That's a dog. To be honest, I have a habit of picking manwha and not really paying attention to much of anything haha. So, I picked this up thinking "ah, writing manga and the two characters are cute." I've been reading other hybrid manga where people turn into animals, so I was pretty surprised when I realized that he's just kind of a werewolf.

I guess that is the closest thing I can compare him too other than like a furry (and werewolves are technically furries). He doesn't...

[18+] Love Plan

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

I really like this manwha and makes my suffering worth it. Thank you, checks author name Majeungji!!! It was a random surprise. I kind of go through these yandere reading lists expecting to feel nothing at the end of most stories. It is the equivalent of reading poor fanfiction as a teenager for no reason in particular.. It's just now I am an adult and I have to filter out omegaverse. ANYWAY.

Love Plan was very bizarre, but I loved it.. I love.. you Siyeon (the ML). You are so cute and so desperate and so so deranged. Siyeon never actually harms his love interest, Jaewoo. I can't go into...

[18+] Forbidden Fruit

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

This manwha's fucked up and don't read it if you don't like fucked up manwha. I sometimes go through the yandere lists on bato, and this one.. Kinda bad. I don't know. I was so curious about where the cult stuff would go (it went nowhere). We don't even get a clear idea of Noah's goals or beliefs by the end of the manwha which is so lame. Why have homosexual priests if you're not going to explore their religion? Why did those characters do any of that? Why did they sexually assault Agotho? What did that have to do with their ritual? Why were they willing to use him as sacrifice? I don't know....

[18+] Jinx

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

Jinx is like the most popular yaoi at the moment based on every single site I go on.. The manwha actually makes me mad haha. To be honest I have no idea why I continue reading Jinx. I don't like the ML. The protagonist is... not the kind of protagonist I enjoy. It's not even a dynamic I like. I just feel kind.. I guess it's like watching those drama shows where everyone hates each other, but you want to see how it ends. Like, I'm not really interested in the romance or the characters, but I am invested in how she's going to make the ML NOT AN ASSHOLE. This manwhaga(?) did it well in BJ Alex,...

[18+] Full Volume

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

Full Volume was fun and also distressing at times. Not like black flag or dark romance kind of distressing, but there's a specific plot point revolving one of the characters' that is explored and I found myself skimming through these chapters because they really stressed me out. But I think the topic is explored well- it's regarding sexual exploitation.

I really liked Full Volume. I actually started it earlier at some point, but lost interest only to pick it back up because I was so fucking bored. The story kinda goes about lacksadaisically, but this is something I enjoy. The first chapters...

[18+] Painter of the Night

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:16:25 +0000

I've been in the yuri and yaoi dungeons. I made this page then magically ran out of content lmao. But I can talk about things I'm currently reading even if I'm not in a hurry to finish them. We'll start with Painter of the Night since it's apparently a classic (among manwhas). I did not know this because despite this yaoi page existing, I don't know much about yaoi history/popularity haha. To be honest, I don't know how to feel about Painter of the Night. I've gotten to a point in the work where the love interest.. is.. doing something. LOL. I don't know. He's been a menace most of the manga,...
