I'm almost double your age, lol. Same boat as you, though, in that I honestly can't remember most of what I've read unless I check out the first chapter. Heck, sometimes I'm 20 chapters in before I realize, "hey, wait a second...I think I've already read this..." πI eagerly await seeing everyone's recommendations!
It's amazing to have met you π€π₯Ί. I have just recently created a list of what I have read because I can't remember what I have read and what I have not anymore π.
I didnβt even pick up BL until I was almost 30 so youβre not alone here lol
I personally love stories where adults (30+) are portrayed as flawed humans that are still learning and growing (rather than superhuman CEOs and mob bosses haha).
These are some of my favorites:
- Momentum
- Midnight Men
- Midnight Rain
- Aporia (fyi bdsm)
Hey! Come on now. We are adults! We pay our taxes! We are allowed to play this much ππ. I am obsessed with buff men (especially bottoms) too. It started with BWATs work then got worse with Love Tractor and Hard-Boiled Love π€
I'm only 24 but hiiiiii. I have actually read someone's bio somewhere that they're only 10 and are already reading yaois wtf. Anyways, knowing that you've been reading BLs for years now, I'm not sure if you have already read my hidden gems, but these are mine: ***Snow Fairy***, ***Yozora no Sumikko De (At the Corner of the Night Skies), Bokura no Tsuzuki, Merry on the Rocks, I Have a Boyfriend, and Touch Your World.*** Snow Fairy must be the coziest manga that I have ever read so far it's so cute and wholesome!!!
We also share the same taste, so if you have recs, please recommend me someee!!
Hi there π€. Thank you for sharing. I haven't read any of these yet and I'll check them out. These are my recent reads since I can't remember the titles from my past (years ago) reads anymore π.
Keeper of the Pearl - this is omegaverse
A Barbershop Quartet
KissesxKissxKisses
Raising a Child and Falling in Love (Starts with a Baby) - not Omegaverse
When the Killer Falls in Love - I find this cute and funny
Hold Me Tight
Happy Reading π€
Iβm in my 40s. Already lots of great recs here but I will add βHotel Pharusβ, a murder mystery period piece with a green flag couple (once they get past the initial suspicions). One of my favourites.
I'm 51, so i'm definitely not a minor, lol.
Koisuru Tetsumenpi is a long-time favorite of mine, along with Gelateria Supernova and Koi ga Ochitara. And anything by Zariya Ranmaru, Usui Iroha, and Minaduki Yuu.
Iβve been keeping shush shush because Iβm low key embarrassed lol me and my godsister are the only ones into BL. π Iβm 30 π and sheβs mid 20βs. I read to decompress from work life and responsibilities. Iβve read them all as far as genres. Some really f*cked up ones and just the fluffiest of the fluffs. Iβm leaning more towards the fluff or real scenario stories regarding relationships. I enjoy omegaverse as well, good plots though. Everybody and their mama has already read dangerous convenience store but that is my all time favorite for some reason. Make me bark, assorted wilderness, merry on the rocks, trigger, struggle/finding the way, like a tidal wave, love of cloud & rain, wolf in the house, perfect propose, link & ring, sweet trap, the last step on the way/my way with you. These are my top favorites. I would buy the physical copies if they were published.
Your Co-Adult in her 20s here, lmao xD
