i've decided to start categorizing yaois in a more accurate manner

school: school. they go to. the same school pretty self explanatory. can have variations such as oh damn i got isekaied. oh damn we're reincarnated. but generally straight forward. can be considered a subcategory as the schools can really be for anything. transfer students, roommates, childhood best friends, yknow how it be

woman treatment: they're usually just like... omg !! the two school princes look so KYUTE together >///< and sometimes there's like love triangles but. generally they just. do not exist ? idk if we're in all boys schools or what but. often has Younger Sisters. who ship. their brothers with whoever the hell. like alright i guess

celebrities: they are celebrities and for whatever reason, their fans have decided to ship them. rpf. awesome. also has variations such as esports gamers, singers, and or actors. honestly the reincarnated slash isekaied thing can be applied to any category so i'll stop mentioning that so much. some common tropes are one guy goes online, sees the ship content, and starts Thinking

woman treatment: pretty horrible! theres always a female fanbase that ships the guys really weirdly and all they do is go kyaa and god FORBID theres an actress coworker. of course she's trying to get your man and manipulate people and stuff

ceo: also self explanatory. my least favourite kind so honestly i havent read that much. ceo and employee. great. cool. anyway

woman treatment: again they don't really seem to exist which is. bad in itself why aren't you hiring women at your job being gay isn't an excuse. but sometimes! they will be horrible people bc love rival

historical: samurais and emperors you know the drill. often Wars and has the most Tenderly Bandaging Of Wounds. has a lot more isekaing proportionately than other categories. usually some royal guy and some commoner guy but can sometimes have two royal guys

woman treatment: also kinda bad. due to the nature of. arranged marriages, theres uuusssually some poor woman who's getting forced to marry the Prince of the two. or she's like. again manipulative and trying to get his money and stuff.

Powers: this is mostly a subcategory and the broadest bc there's not a lot to distinguish here. can vary greatly, from oh i read this book and woke up as the protagonist. this guy died and i somehow got sent into a different timeline / the past and i want to change his fate. *I* died and woke up as someone else again. i like these ones bc the powers can be cool but most of the time they completely forget about the plot in favour of being gay :( like i wanna figure out the powers and how they came to be here cmon man. still, most of my personal favourites are in this category

woman treatment: varies! since again this is SUPER broad. HOWEVER yeah some of the Powers focused ones have had the best female characters i've seen. shout out to my girl shen shu.
