My favorite tops (BL)

The ML here inspired me to make this list because he's so relatable and such a sweet character! He's an introvert who gives off grumpy, stand offish aura, but is actually very invested in the one his heart chooses. I relate a lot to his pattern of dealing with issues alone and isolating himself when shit gets tough. I also like how this story shows an introvert in love - it definitely relates to my experience. He's got a soft spot for the MC, I love a man who cries!

I can't describe how much I love the way the ML loves. He's intense, he's deeply in love, he yearns, and sadly, this almost consumes him. One of my favorite stories, and I'd say this top is in my top (heh) 5.

Taehwan, as all characters here, is written very well. What I find extremely relatable about him is his self isolation from everyone around him when shit hits the fan. He struggles with showing vulnerability, admitting defeat, pain and helplessness. He never wants to show a weak or ugly side, and has grown up to be the child that's 'easy' to parent, never learning to accept or even ask for help. It was a given that he'd figure shit out on his own. His growth was touching.

(second couple) The ML is so loveable and at the same time, another cute, yet outwardly tough and cool introvert who shows love only the way he can! I adore his protectiveness, his care for his family and brother, his openness and willingness to let the MC in, build trust, and open up to the help of others. He learns to rely on his closest people and loved ones, and yet my heart hurts for his childhood in which he was forced to manage on his own by losing the one person he could rely on.

The greenest, freshest, lushest forest - that's the alpha ML here.

I love the golden retriever types, lol. He's blonde, he's muscular, he's an annoying, yet endearing extrovert, but also very serious about his feelings for the MC - just the whole package!! Their dynamic is amazing, too.

This man is protective, attentive, caring, forgiving... He's everything.

He protecc, he attacc, but most importantly, he loves bacck. This ML is a gentle giant with a heart of gold and the tenderness of a feather.

This ML is enthusiastic af, and I dig it. I also like how he truly cares for the MC and his comfort.
