I don't know about anyone else, but I'm becoming so numb to BLs nowadays, that it's not even funny. Any BL I watched back in 2020 (when I first started on my endeavor) Was just jaw-dropping good and amazing, and "omg, the best thing I've watched" and now I watch these shows and feel quite literally nothing. I realized this after I finished Blueming, which I think is good, plot-wise, production-wise, and acting-wise, but I'm probably going to give it less than the score it deserves because I watched it and didn't care about any of the outcomes or what the characters were going through. I also realized this when others are deeply involved in a series, or go into some deep analytical dive about a couple, or become dedicated to a series and buy merch, and follow the actors, and go to fanmeets and etc, and I couldn't care less to do any of that -- not even to learn the actors' names.
And I think I feel this way because BL felt like a little gift during the beginning when there was a little less to watch, but now that there's at least 10+ BL airing every week (multiple in just one day) the industry has become over-saturated to the point that it's becoming numb.
My rule at first was to only watch what I thought was good, but now I can't even do that. I think that Miracle of Teddy Bear, My Ride, and Rak Diao was good (All that I've put on hold), but if a show doesn't have me aching to watch the next episode, then it has to be dropped, so I can move on to something that makes me feel -- something. So I'll have to drop those three (or at least put them on my not interested page -- talking about MDL) until I can find the motivation to watch (which will probably be never because If we're getting served 10+ BLs a week, then I'm too busy watching those to focus on the things I didn't finish.) I tried starting Dear Doctor, which I think is good, but I have less than zero percent interest in even finishing the first episode.
This is just me being emotional and rant-y, but does anyone else feel this way? Like they can't enjoy BL anymore because the industry itself has become a numb factor?
