Red/Black Flags (Yaoi)

Korean lawyer uke x Russian mafia boss seme
Strong and intelligent MC / Black Flag ML (very possessive, non-consensual, violent, will do everything to get the MC)
Uncensored parts

All in all, a very good story/dynamic. But the ML’s behavior is quite extreme, questionable, and toxic.

TW: Violence, Rape

Historical / Knights / Royalty
Manly knight uke x pretty royal seme
Dumb MC / Red Flag ML (very possessive, manipulative, non-consensual)
Uncensored

This was something else... but it's an interesting story. There is mostly smut/rape.
TW: Manipulation, Rape, Blackmail

Supernatural (Hunterverse) / Action
Depressed MC / Red flag ML (very manipulative, cold)

The story and the MC’s development were very emotional and heartfelt.

TW: Depression, Suicide Attempt, Blackmail

Supernatural (guidevers) / Guide uke x Hunter seme
Strong but forced MC / Black flag ML (very manipulative, sociopathic, non-consensual)

The story is very interesting, exciting and full of action. However, the relationship between the MC and ML (as well as with other characters) is very toxic. The MC is forced and raped. It pissed me off that the ML didn’t care about the MC’s suffering (at the beginning).

TW: Rape (multiple tops), manipulation

Historical / Nobility / Drama
Poor painter uke × Rich noble seme
From Red to Green flag ML (initially non-consensual, very possessive)

This is truly a masterpiece. The story is beautiful and dramatic, and you really find yourself rooting for the characters. The development of both the MC and the ML, as well as their relationship, is genuinely captivating. The story had to be dropped here, but it is complete.

TW: Physical/Sexual Assault, Violence, Trauma

Poor uke x Rich seme
Red flag ML (very possessive, non-consensual, violent)
Timeskip / Redemption

That was so hard to read. I was constantly on the verge of dropping this. MC is clearly the victim (how much pain can one person endure?), but it’s frustrating how he keeps pushing ML away and causing more trouble for himself out of pride and trauma. ML did many wrong things, but he still tried to help MC.

TW: (Gang) Rape, Violence, Power Imbalance, Depression, Suicide Attempt

Lawyer uke × Gangster seme
Smart MC × Red flag ML (possessive, violent, manipulative)
Enemies to lovers

The story is often confusing, with constant new characters and twists that make the plot hard to follow, likely on purpose to mirror the MC’s chaos. Still, the action is thrilling and the emotions hit hard. The relationship is extremely toxic and aggressively sexual, sometimes hard to understand, but their slow development has some rewarding moments.

TW: Sexual Assault, Blackmail

Boxer uke × Gangster seme
Manly, disabled uke × Black Flag ML (manipulative, possessive, violent)
Amnesia / Trauma / Disability
Multiple tops / Threesome in side story

The story and its characters are messed up. The ML is extremely toxic, treating the MC like his property/pet. There’s constant abuse. The beginning is promising and the smut is hot, but it becomes unbearable. Toward the end, the ML suddenly turns into a green flag.

TW: Sexual/Physical Abuse, Blackmail, Drugging, Humilation

Omegaverse
Beta butler uke x Alpha prince seme
Red Flag ML (manipulative, egotistical, possessive)

The story is messy and the pacing is bad. The MC has no self respect. ML is egotistical. Most of the other characters are trash (e.g. parents).

Agent x Agent
Strong but forced MC / Black flag MC (non-consensual, possessive, violent, psycho, will do everything to get the MC)
Love triangle
Novel adaptation

All in all, a very good story/dynamic. But the ML’s behavior is extreme and toxic. I dropped the novel after Taei and Ilay’s reunion (after Xinlu’s kidnapping from Rahmans villa) because the rape scene was too brutal for me. The manwha is softer.
