@1758 I agree. I grew up sorrounded by women and I can say with a little confidence say I have observed them deeply (kinda like studied them cuz I had to be safe especially when it's that time of the month). For some really strange reason, women here lack this trait I have observed which is common: when they hate something, they hate it.

This hate applies for both genders and I really can't feel the character unless it's in comedy where a lot of my observations get applied most. In manhwas/mangas nowadays they just shift like "I hate this today, I like this tomorrow and for the rest of my life", from what I have seen it swings more "I like this today, I hate it tomorrow and the day after and like it the next day". 

The other thing I hate is how generic they are. I may not have read a lot of shoujo and josei but I can observe something- I can't find the words to explain it but it's like watching the same characters do everything all over again. What I'd like to see is a character like Roxana but not necessarily exactly her just strong like she is, smart the way she is. They don't have to be exactly like her she is a red flag after all but I am blind to that color so what can I do?

As for the bottoms, something I'd like is for both the women and the bottoms, about that naivety is why the he** do they somehow fall for their grapist? Like urgh... Gurl you need help. Unless it's dark romance cuz its dark romance for a reason (it's an exception to me for some reason).
I am neither a Ms nor a Lady, in short I am a man.
That is all. And that will be all.

yess on your last statement, why is it becoming normalize for people to fall in love with their rapîst and abusers? I feel Iike a lot of these story are propaganda atp.. it's lowkey conditioning women/men to accept abuse and trick them into thinking it's love.

I also agree with you on characters lacking depth, human beings are complex creatures and they always place women in a box in most of these stories. They always fall into an archetype like 'damsel in distress'.

the only time I see they give female characters a little freedom to have an actual personalityis when they play the villainess roles like Roxana.
