2nd Tier BL: still worth checking out!

1st season is easy top tier but personally the 2nd season isn't hitting as hard

*good portrayal of anxiety and its affects
*AAART HOLY ART
*1st season is a slow burn

CW: toxic parent/abuse

*Thick/interesting plot
*I love a dense mc
*slow burn relationship
*easy to binge read

-idk the student x teacher & adult interactions are questionable. Like someone would definitely be concerned with a student hanging out at teachers/adults apartments lol but the other characters just go with it?? Like yes this is fantasy but some aspects of this are a little ehh unbelievable. Its hard to describe w/o giving too many spoilers.
CW: suicide, bullying

*I am weeeaaak to a man in a mask
*fr Caleb too fine
*short but somewhat plot driven

-not a fan of stories where the person/thing watches the love interest grow up as a kid and then gets with them when they're an adult idk its just not a troupe I enjoy. This one is a lil different it being a death god and all buuuuuut yea
CW: light dubcon??? its implied but what do u think?

(this is more so gender non conforming but I'm including it in this list )
*lets gooo trans representation
*they/them pronouns sighted
*cool how it was inspired by a song? Idk much about it but if that's your thing could be fun to explore

-feels a little kiddish does that make sense?

Been awhile since I read this. May need to revisit to see if it belongs in top tier

*not enough horror bl so thank u for that
*this is great at making you WANT to find out the mystery behind it all
*SCURRRY SHIII

-the ending, its good it rlly is buuuuut just felt like it could have been more

its been too long since I read this I need help for CW
CW: killing/death, toxic parents

This is straight up smut y'all with a bit of plot

*accurate portrayal of bdsm but also some not so much lol
*unlikely pairing
*okay power bottom lets gooo
*aaaart

-I lose interest in stories like this after awhile
-becomes repetitive

ongoing story

*unique art style
*genuinely funny silly goofy
*big goofy puppy dog man in love

-some unlikeable side characters/elements tht I don't care for

CW: SA and harassment (not between MC'S)

*MC's are in their 20's
*elements of dealing with grief & survivors remorse
*aaaart
*cute couple
*-smutty
-pacing, everything moves pretty fast. Its a short story so its to be expected but sometimes taken back by the flashbacks/order the story was told in.

Pretty standard office romance

*ML's are some cuties
*nice to see a soft top
*chibis are cute

-idk just didn't stick out to me
-found myself speed reading just to get to the end

Don't even get me started about the side stories im piiisssed

*enemies to lovers vibe
*aaaart style
*tension between the leads
*toxic but fun

-side characters don't do it for me
-ending feels a bit rushed/ coulda been better
- SIDE STORIES broo skip them cus wtf was that
CW: SA, childhood abuse, violence & killing, dubcon,
