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 sport 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.
(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 my heart hurts for his childhood.
The greenest, freshest, lushest forest - that's the 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.
This is a true yearner right there. Died once to save the MC, used his chance at life again to make him happy and heal his wounds.
Protect your purity!
