This one’s in the list specifically for the first ml. He’s just so interesting to me, maybe cuz he’s a dolphin but he’s got this sly yet wholesome manner. He’s a himbo for sure, sleeps around for food and other benefits but is oblivious to the f boi ness of his nature and how much he’s hurting the Mc in turn. A manchild of sorts but I love him. A himbo hoe who’s wholesome and innocent? Which leads to a lot of angst.
Similar to standby kiss, the dynamic of the main duo is just so fun to observe. The top is the right hand man of the mcs father, there should clearly be a power imbalance. And there is, but on the opposite scale. The tops so outright disrespectful in a horny, asshole-y way, and the back and forth banter of these two are just soooo fun. The man acts like he’s hot shit cuz he knows he’s hot shit and that’s some real, for a lack of a better word, hot shit
Simp king of the underworld. This man is so hot, but he’s such a simp. He’s a very interesting character, he’s cocky and all powerful but at the same time hella insecure in that he feels as if he doesn’t deserve the love of the man he’s devoted decades of years to worshipping.
The plot of this one chooses to focus almost entirely on the uke and their problems and the seme therefore feels more like the shounen OP side character who only occasionally makes an appearance to make the mcs life easier when challenges get tough. This already makes him out to be so out of the ordinary. Now mix in his cold stereotypical brooding male lead appearance with his simp-like anything but boring personality and we have something truly entertaining at hand.
