All my good BL recommendations.
- Green flag relationship (Fluff, wholesome) - Yellow flag relationship (Complicated, angsty) - Red flag relationship (Toxic, BUT IT ENDS UP OK)
- Spicy/Smut - No smut
- Actually peak - Good slop... - Slopish but entertaining for light reading
Blurbs include light spoilers to sum up main arc. Some I may have not finished yet, and will get updated or removed based on how far I am in the story to make sure that the flags are accurate.
- Smut in later ch - Not read up to romance arc, but it seems their relationship will be healthy. May lean into yellow based on how pushy seme is.
Action, hunter manhwa: But BL. Uke hides his powers as a former S class hunter. S class Seme searches for missing uke, becoming interested in uke whom he doesn't realise is the one he is looking for (yet).
- Censored spice - Might be a yellow based on circumstances, but overall, their relationship is so wholesome and healthy. They love each other, and everything is consensual.
Silly love story between hitman gangster and upcoming actor who wishes to change his image from good boy hearthrob into gritty noir star. Hitman uke falls for actor seme's good looks at first glance, and seme needs someone with a gritty and stoic vibe to learn how to act in a Noir film.
- Very spicy boys / - Generally green flag, but gets a bit complicated due to their Enemies to lovers romance. I'd say it's definitely a healthy relationship, but do be warned of some angst.
Enemies to lovers office romance. Perfectionist uke and playful, big beefy seme have a battle of the wits, mixed with their immediate attraction and repulsion towards each other.
- Spicy and consensual - Very green despite the whole killing part.
Cute tsundere + hot loan shark. Uke is a clone created to kill and take seme's identity, but instead of managing to kill the seme, they get frisky - and the seme gains an immediate attraction towards the uke. The uke likes the touching, but he doesn't know what love is. And afterall, he needs to kill him, right? (CONSENTUAL SMUT = HOT AF)
- Spicy / - Ends as green flag, but for majority they are essentially taking advantage of each other to survive. Not toxic at all though.
Zombie apocalypse. A love story between a stoic seme and mysterious but average-personality uke - who holds the location to a safe house. When tension rises due to their mutual horniness, staying together becomes more than needing the location for safety.
- Spicy "And they were roomates." / - Seme is very toxic, but he gets redeemed. Their sex life is consensual from what I remember, seme is just a pos in the first half.
Enemies to lovers. Introverted gay uke meets straight, elephant-dicked, homophobic, and cocky seme - and they hate each other. But when they become roomates, tensions rise as they become sex partners - as afterall, sometimes the dick be to big too resist. Toxic, but seme begins to fall for uke, a bi
- Spicy with mpreg - Consensual and fluffy relationship with some angst.
Omegaverse. National iceskater omega meets national swimmer alpha with a subversion to pheromones. Hijinks ensue. A little boring, but overall wholesome and cute.
- Spicy, but the seme's tattoo takes me out of it lol - Such cuties who love each other. Very green seme, and a complicated but overall green uke who does love seme.
"Sexergizer" and playboy uke becomes unable to have sex as his little guy goes into a coma. One day he encounters a sexy seme, who turns out to be his first love, and his little guy wakes up for the first time in years.
- Sex partners to lovers boyeee / - Yellow at first due to seme, but uke was into it so.. it IS consenual.. despite seme's ass behaviour they are generally good for each other.
Enemies to lovers-ish/Rivals to lovers - office romance - sex partners to lovers. Dweeb-ish office worker uke attains a crush for office hottie seme, and attraction rises as seme finds out how hot the uke is under his perfectionist and geeky appearance. TADA! Taking off glasses = immediate hotness!
