BL...or where did YA go?
<p><em>BL or…??</em></p><p><br/></p><p>Whoever the f**k decided that this was a trope or started this trend needs to be put in therapy.</p><p>Or better still, explain to me when romance became synonymous with satisfying sexual desires. </p><p>What happened to good bromance where you've got each other's back? 😭</p><p>I have nothing against authors who write BL. I understand it's because of the money from it sometimes.</p><p>But I'm talking about the market.</p><p>It feels like stories are constantly getting pushed toward more mature themes, heavier romance, and sexual content, while the simple coming-of-age stories seem to be getting harder to find.</p><p>I miss the old days of reading YA and teen novels where the romance could make you scream into your pillow without every other chapter turning into something sexual.</p><p>Give me the stolen glances.</p><p>The awkward first dates.</p><p>The jealousy.</p><p>The tension that lasts for 30 chapters.</p><p>The hand-holding that somehow feels more intimate than an entire bedroom scene.</p><p>Give me characters who actually fall in love before they fall into bed.</p><p>Maybe I'm just nostalgic, but sometimes I genuinely miss when novels could make you feel everything without having to show everything.</p>
