Which is more important for a BL to become unforgettable?

A. Story. Plot esp omg, all the best bls ive read were pretty light on the romanace but had insane plots. Everything Nianzhong writes is ofc unforgettable bc of it

F. insane main pairing statement. I am currently mesmerised about a book i havent even started reading bc apparently the ml is supposed to be fkn yog sothoth? And i genuinely in my soul need to know what convinces an author to do that

So mention 2 bl that r ur all time favourite

only 2 uhhhh.... Evil as Humans by Nianzhong and...... probably Stray by Nianzhong? Or How to Survive as a Villain by YiYiYiYi.

Story if you want some heartache (lost of triggers) but happy ending bl Jazz by Maeda Sakae
or sweet, cute, silly couple is Honto Yajuu by Yamamoto Kotetsuko

For me, it's the characters; I believe the characters guide the story. If I don't connect with them despite this amazing world building, beautiful art or crazy plot twists, I will drop it.

I will also continue reading trashy manhwa if I adore the characters. That's a dime-a-dozen though as if the story is trash, the characters are trash ┑(￣∇ ￣)┍

for bls i prefer well written characters even if the plot is basic, although an interesting plot is a huge plus. i dont expect a masterpiece from bl so even having characters that are well written makes it good lol
