I'll answer you. Looks fun. Although I have acquired a very specific taste over the years so I don't think I count as an average reader anymore. XD

 

1 Do you like a yaoi manga because of its:

a. Plot

b. the art

c. the sex scene

 

All of them are important to me. But I'm not always interested in a sex scene. Sometimes I put more importance on plot. But the most important for me is the characters, how they interact and how they drive the story.

If I'm only in it for the sex scenes then art is definitely important. (Nothing worse than a badly drawn sex scene)

 

2. Why would you decide to read it

a. the tille seems nice/ attractive/..

b. I know the mangaka/ The mangaka is my fav

c. Bored and have nothing to do

 

I read yaoi when I'm in the mood to read it. If I found a manga I really liked, I will search for more manga from that same mangaka.

 

3. Do your taste in manga change in time

a. Yes

b. No

 

 

4. What type of uke you like

a. innocent

b. Sexy and take the lead in sex

c. (comment below if you love another type)

 

I like a lot of types. Characters are important to me. When it comes to seme and uke, they need to fit together. As long as it makes sense for the characters to be together, and their chemistry feels like it works, then I will enjoy the story.

 

5. What type of seme you like

a. take the lead in sex

b. Depend on the uke

c. ( comment below if you like another type)

 

Like I said, it depends on the uke. If they are compatible with each other. In most yaoi the characters usually fit into archetypes. It works, and it's fine, but I love finding gems where the seme and uke seem like more original characters and not just a "seme type" and "uke type".

 

 

That's just me though. I have read so much yaoi, other novels and fanfiction out there, that I got bored of the same things over and over.

 

If you are writing a BL novel, my best advice to you would be to make the characters seem believable.. Unless you just want to make smut and focus on sex. XD

Since you're worried no one will like your story, I advice you to think about your target audience. Who do you want to read your story? If you make a sweet romantic story then you will attract readers who like romantic stories. If you write bdsm then you will attract readers who like bdsm.

 

But first, look at the story you are writing. Do you like your own story? It's important you like your own creation. My best advice would be to write the type of yaoi you like to read.

My turn!

 

1 Do you like a yaoi manga because of its:

a. Plot

b. the art

c. the sex scene

 

--> I'd say I start reading a yaoi manga first because I like the art. If the plot sounds convincing, then the chances that I'll read it increase. But if the sex scene is lacking, I might stop reading, even if the art is good, ismply because it's disappointing.

 

2. Why would you decide to read it

a. the title seems nice/ attractive/..

b. I know the mangaka/ The mangaka is my fav

c. Bored and have nothing to do

 

--> usually I try to read everything that a certain mangaka has written if I like his/her designs. But once I've run out of available manga, I usually just click on the "surprise me!" button on the manga site that I usually read on and then I pick again as already described under point 1.

 

3. Does your taste in manga change in time

a. Yes

b. No

 

--> sure. I used to only read shoujo and now I'm into yaoi and josei. Which manga I pick up and want to read also depends on my mood

 

4. What type of uke you like

a. innocent

b. Sexy and take the lead in sex

c. (comment below if you love another type)

 

--> I prefer it if the uke is surprised and first disbelieving that the seme likes him and has trouble believing that he could fall in love with a guy.

 

5. What type of seme you like

a. take the lead in sex

b. Depend on the uke

c. ( comment below if you like another type)

 

--> Well, Asami is perfect *I do believe I've mentioned that before lol* and from these categories, I'd definitely say that I like a seme which is powerful and takes the lead in sex.

 

Hope this helps!

1 Do you like a yaoi manga because of its:

Well, I think all are important but I'll still read a manga if the art and the plot are good(even if the sex isn't that great). I prefer plot over sex.

a. the title seems nice/ attractive/..

b. I know the mangaka/ The mangaka is my fav

All of those matter a lot.

 

2. Why would you decide to read it

b. I know the mangaka/ The mangaka is my fav

 

Mostly that's the case. But there are times when I can't find any more translations from that mangaka so I just browse through a bunch of titles and pick by it's cover!

 

3. Do your taste in manga change in time

b. No

 

4. What type of uke you like

a. innocent

b. Sexy and take the lead in sex

 

Both! It depends on the story and such...

 

 

5. What type of seme you like

a. take the lead in sex

Mostly. I know it's very common and some people find it boring when the seme is leading the sex scene the whole way. But I like the other way around as well D: It depends on the storyline and characters.

tbqh, the art and the plot go hand in hand. it doesn't really matter to me if there would be a sex scene or not as long as the manga isn't badly drawn and the plot is interesting

 

2. Why would you decide to read it

a. the tille seems nice/ attractive/..

b. I know the mangaka/ The mangaka is my fav

c. Bored and have nothing to do

 

i choose both (a) and (b). i usually get enticed by catchy titles. don't blame me though lol and well, i'd definitely read all the works of any mangaka that i like.

 

3. Do your taste in manga change in time

a. Yes

b. No

 

4. What type of uke you like

b. Sexy and take the lead in sex

c. (comment below if you love another type)

 

i'm not into overly innocent ukes but i don't have any qualms against those who are borderline dense. i prefer my ukes to be happy-go-lucky yet assertive.

 

5. What type of seme you like

a. take the lead in sex

b. Depend on the uke

c. ( comment below if you like another type)

 

kinky. sadistic. unpredictable. fragile-looking. other descriptions that don't conform to the conventional type/s. all these semes please.

 

anyhow,

good luck with your novel ^^

clueless uke, those who think they are gonna be a top, hard to catch because of their personality, somewhat aggressive.. I like when the seme has an hard time to get what he wants.

 

5. What type of seme you like

I chose a & b, because it depends on the story and the characters. Both are interesting for me ~*

 

Good luck with your YNL : )

1 Do you like a yaoi manga because of its:

b. the art

c. the sex scene

Probably a combination of the art and the plot. While good art is pretty important to me, I think I would continue to read a manga with only so-so art if the plot was really good.

 

2. Why would you decide to read it

a. the tille seems nice/ attractive/..

b. I know the mangaka/ The mangaka is my fav

c. Bored and have nothing to do

Definitely an interesting title, also a cool cover. More importantly, an interesting description, though! If I recognize the mangaka/if it's a mangaka I like, though, I am more likely to read it.

 

3. Do your taste in manga change in time

a. Yes

b. No

My tastes in manga pretty much stay the same, I think

 

4. What type of uke you like

a. innocent

b. Sexy and take the lead in sex

c. (comment below if you love another type)

I prefer the innocent type. I like my men like I like my olive oil...extra virgin.

 

5. What type of seme you like

a. take the lead in sex

b. Depend on the uke

c. ( comment below if you like another type)

I prefer a "take the lead" kind of seme. Not crazy possessive or controlling but definitely a little dominant.

ei cant decide for the ans...mostly all of the above..

 

1.i like yaoi manga because:of the nice plot then nice art lastly the good sex scene!!! =3

2.i decide to read a yaoi manga because:i know the mangaka then the title seems good.

3.yes

4.oh i like letter b...sexy and takes the lead..

5.innocent seme...hehehe

 

that's good...i also did try writing a yaoi story about Mino Kanade x Haruhiko Usami (since i like those two characters from Nakamura sensei's SIH & JR, since both of them don't have a partner so i thought making them a pair hehehe for my own personal fantasy i created a pair!)but the story just stays in my draft note..hehehe very busy with work.

 

so hopefully you'll be able to create a nice story..probably with a innocent seme and a very bold uke.goodluck..=3

I'd say the plot is most important but if i don't like the art style I can't get into it.

 

2. Why would you decide to read it

a. the title seems nice/ attractive/..

b. I know the mangaka/ The mangaka is my fav

c. Bored and have nothing to do

The title isn't as important as the plot but I'm unlikely to read something with an over the top blunt title

 

3. Do your taste in manga change in time

a. Yes

b. No

 

4. What type of uke you like

a. innocent

b. Sexy and take the lead in sex

This is purely a personal taste, no so much innocent as uncertain or insecure.

 

5. What type of seme you like

a. take the lead in sex

b. Depend on the uke

 

Hope that helps, good luck!

Good luck with your novel!!

 

1 Do you like a yaoi manga because of its:

a. Plot

b. the art

c. the sex scene

 

a great sex scene would be very nice, but plot takes precedence, and the art matters also. not that it should be technically good, but it should be able to carry the story properly.

 

2. Why would you decide to read it

a. the tille seems nice/ attractive/..

b. I know the mangaka/ The mangaka is my fav

c. Bored and have nothing to do

 

a good summary and cover will hook me even though i know nothing about the mangaka. but if a mangaka i like puts something out, you bet i'll try to read it if i can.

 

3. Do your taste in manga change in time

a. Yes

b. No

 

4. What type of uke you like

a. innocent

b. Sexy and take the lead in sex

c. (comment below if you love another type)

 

while it's true i like it when the bottom takes the lead, it's only because the vast majority is the opposite, so this is like a breath of fresh air. but i have nothing against innocent types -- it's an issue of variety. anyway! it all depends on the individual character. as long as he's sympathetic and written well, it's fine. you'd do well to focus on making him a good character above all else, i think. and that he has chemistry with the other guy.

 

5. What type of seme you like

a. take the lead in sex

b. Depend on the uke

c. ( comment below if you like another type)

 

same with the above question. it's not as important to adhere to the 'type' of seme as to make sure he seems like a complete/interesting character and that his relationship with the other guy proceeds in a believable and organic way.

This looks like fun. :D

 

1 Do you like a yaoi manga because of its:

All of the above. I need all these three to fully enjoy a manga, but if it is a really good one, I can overlook the art and sex scenes.

 

2. Why would you decide to read it

a. the tille seems nice/ attractive/..

b. I know the mangaka/ The mangaka is my fav

c. Bored and have nothing to do

 

I'd say have nothing else to do. I kind of read pretty much every yaoi manga by Minami Haruka, my favourite at some point. I still like her mangas, but I'm not that much of a fan anymore since my manga taste changed a lot.

 

3. Do your taste in manga change in time

Yups.

I actually like the type that takes the lead.

c. ( comment below if you like another type)

 

I like kinky semes. :D
