So this is classic 'don't realize I like him but I bully him'. They are both in college and bullying is really tame. More like mild harassment. Bully is a narcissist. No revenge or stalking in this one.
Very tame 'I got hot in revenge and went to the class reunion to show you.' plot. Pretty cute, characters are real and the love interest wasn't the real bully. No stalking in this one.
Stalkers, bullies and revenge. Contains both the 'I bullied you because I liked you theme' as well as the 'I got hot in revenge' Plot. Nothing graphic, Some unpleasant stalker harassment, the bullying is very mild.
Contains the 'I didn't recognize you because you turned from a duck to swan' plot device
Bullies and revenge. Contains the 'I got hot in revenge' Plot. The 'bullying' is well.... that's a spoiler but nothing horrible. Has the 'I always liked you but pretended even to myself that I didn't' theme. Narcissistic seme, an airheaded but honest uke, pretty cute over all.
Also the 'I didn't recognize you because you turned from a duck to swan' plot device.
No stalking in this one.
Some bullying, a mild 'duck turned swan' plot device. Mostly just the element of hidden personalities. A decently bold uke (he comes to terms with liking a guy pretty fast and even makes the first move, a surprise.). Some very mildly stalking (or information gathering?)
No revenge in this one.
---------------------------------------------------------
SPOILER: A Really Tsundere seme. He's very two faced its like whiplash. I liked the story but almost felt tricked with that 180 the
I want to say no stalking but that's not 100% true. While the seme isn't stalking the uke to his home or watching him 24/7, he is keeping tabs on him and going places he goes to see him.
Spoiler:?
This is a 'big misunderstanding' story. Where uke cut ties and fled and had 'trauma' from what he perceived to be a betrayal.
No bullying, revenge in this one.
Majorly narcissistic uke, EVENTUALLY a doting seme. Unique use of the 'Make you love me for revenge' and 'I always liked you but pretended even to myself that I didn't' plots. Best twist on the 'I didn't recognize/remember you' trope ever. Wonderful side characters. No stalking or bullying in this one.
SPOILER: Over all my favorite part is that no matter how much he intends to carry out his plot, the uke honestly loves the seme too much to succeed.
This story made it on this list because the uke is one of the best I've seen in terms of trying to do right by himself and get what he wants. He isn't a jerk, he just isn't going to sacrifice his own happiness for bullshite. He isn't really a true narcissist, he can be pretty insecure, but he is pretty bold.
No bullying, revenge or stalking in this one.
Narcissitic uke, relationship on a whim, doting and possessive seme. Uses the 'Pretended even to myself I don't love you' plot device. The uke is mildly Tsundere and the seme is a hidden yandere. No bullying, revenge or stalking in this one. Just some narcissism.
The narcissism in this one is hilarious, in fact it is really amazing how both characters actually have two faces. (While its mostly focused on the uke's literal dual personalities, the seme's milder two-facedness is very blatant to me) While I don't normally believe in a 'friend-zone' this story is basically about trying to break out of 'the friend zone' when your love interest doesn't even realize there are other zones. Very comical.
No bullying, reveng
