Yaoi series that you hate

I personally think there is always some audience that will appreciate most yaoi series but Fish in the trap is a definite exception. It's one of those series where people say how horrible it is and you sit there like "it can't be THAT bad." But you read it and it really is that bad. It's like the mangaka randomly selected panels from every manga of every genre and glued them next to each other.
Not really a fan of Okane no Gai. I like girly ukes but he's a ball of nothing. No personality, development, interests or anything. He just cries, gets attacked, or sits there saying small comments here to there. For eight volumes. I don't understand how a series can be so popular but have a main character that does nothing but blink and give a comment or two.

I spent 15 years waiting for Zetsuai/Bronze to end. By the last volume, Kouji didn't deserve Izumi. Izumi's eventual feeling of mutual love just came off as Stolkholm Syndrome anyway.
Kouji broke Izumi's legs, ruined his career, crushed his dreams, put Izumi's family through hell, murdered one of his brothers, & continued to sleep with random women.
Then to make things even worse, she released a doujinshi with the TRUE ending.
Kouji & Izumi are murdered offscreen by a guy arrested in the last volume.
15 years wasted.
A BL series I disliked was Loveless. The series really isn't going anywhere & half of the people reading it agree that Seimei is an unlikable spineless character.
::Reads a few chapter of Okane ga Nai:: Yeah, I'm going to have to jump on the bandwagon here. Kanou is a completely unlikable character after just reading his Q&A. His entire personality revolves around hedonism & being an asshole to absolutely everyone. He has no redeeming characteristics. I don't want him to find happiness. I like & prefer androgynous men, but Ayase looks TOO much like a girl, or rather like someone ripped off a teen girl's head & stuck it on a man's body. He's totally spineless & doesn't have much personality.
Have to disagree with Dalek; anything by Shin Mizukami is something I'd buy twice. Well....Bed no Shita no Himitsu did have 4 related chapters printed in a nonsensical time order, that was pretty sloppy. Also lacked the comedy of the previous installments & wasn't the best way to end the series.

I really can't remember another series pissing me off as much as Pink (TAKAGUCHI Satosumi) did. I know that there have been other yaoi series that I hated but this one just really got on my nerves. I've only read it through once in my life and I liked the beginning but then the ending came around and destroyed my like for it. I never felt like I had wasted my time on a manga before as much as I did for this one or at least I don't think so. It did not seem complete either it just kind of felt like she got bored with it and wanted to finish it. I've read another yaoi by this mangaka and enjoyed it so I know that it isn't all her stuff that is gonna end like this one did but I do have to admit that it did have a similar feel to Pink in certain aspects of the story.
Remembrance, a forsaken thing that revokes ignorance and leaves people in doubt, is my only redemption and solace deep within the cascade of white.
The evergreen trees speak of days long past when music mingled with the wind and sweet murmurs brushed our cheeks.
