BL Compilations

Overall: a fun meta story where the main character is in a BL comic/world. 4 episodes about 30 minutes each. Aired on Viki https://www.viki.com/tv/37904c-a-man-who-defies-the-world-of-bl and GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/2420/a-man-who-defies-the-world-of-bl-2021-s01e01

What I Liked
- awesome dance/music intro sequence
- the mini side couples/BL tropes
- the flowers and blinding light
- I chuckled a few times

Room For Improvement
- was going to say I liked the sibling relationship but in episode 3 Mob says goodbye to his brother and he also tried to take his brother's agency away
- lip press in episode 3
- not sure if it was an error in translation but Mob bordered on homophobic at times with how he talked about his brother being contaminated and not helping someone lest he get in a relationship with a man and be contaminated, on the flip side he wished other guys happily ever afters
- (neutral) normally I'd take off a half point or more for a cliffhanger ending; however, there was a season 2 (and season 3 though as of 2025 hasn't had an international release)
