I was searching for a good GL manga, and I found one that really piqued my interest. However, when I saw the tag 'Tragedy', my heart sank. The first thought that came to mind was that one of the main characters must die. This was truly disheartening, as starting a new journey only to be hit with such a significant spoiler takes away from the experience.
Imagine going to watch Avengers, and right below the poster, there's a 'Tragedy' tag suggesting that one of the main characters dies. In this case, Iron Man – you wouldn't know who, but you'd spend the entire movie dreading it.
Now, every page I turn in this manga, I can't shake the thought that one of the protagonists will die. It hovers over the story, making the reading experience less enjoyable. It feels like a betrayal of the author's intent, stripping away the intended emotional journey.
It's like telling a bedtime story to a child, but before starting, you reveal that someone will die. It ruins the flow of the narrative, much like a dissonant note in a piano concert that echoes repeatedly, disrupting the intended impact of its climax.
In hope of avoiding this problem, I suggest 3 possible solutions:

In hope of avoiding this problem, I suggest 3 possible solutions:
- Remove the Tragedy tag entirely. This would resolve the issue instantly but might require agreement from the community and could be seen as a drastic change.
- Change its name. The term 'Tragedy' leans too heavily towards imminent death. Perhaps something like "Emotional Rollercoaster" would convey the intended meaning without being too specific.
- Add a user-specific option to hide certain tags, or only the Tragedy tag.
