I’m sorry for the long list, but I checked my reading lists and typed out all the ones that made my heart pang:
I LOOOOOOVE Ilay from Passion (please don’t judge, I can’t help it — he has a place in my heart set in stone. I also LOOVE Taeui, of course; Passion would be nothing without their dynamic).
Evelogia from Reincarnated in Demon Lord Evelogia’s World (he’s so cute and devoted).
Mr. Reaper from One Summer Day (so naive — and in love — so devoted, yet so persistent).
Taebum from Biscuit (GOD, WHAT A CUTE HOTTIE).
Ryu Ian from Melting Point (I love a handsome, yearning cutie).
Wolfgang from King’s Maker (THE AURA OF THAT MAN, THE FACE, THAT BODY, HOW OBSESSED HE IS WITH SHIN, GOD).
Goh Hui-Jae and Seonwu Jin (God, those characters… so good).
The Hunter Wants to Live Quietly (both main characters — chef’s kiss, in both design and complexity).
Things That Deserve to Die (both main characters as well — the potential, the body, the face, THE CHEMISTRY).
So, Who Got Screwed? (both — they’re so hot, so hot for each other, and the love they share is adorable).
Yuwon from When Pear Blossoms Bloom (SO HOT, so in love, and so determined to make their relationship work despite all the miscommunication).
Haeon and Juhyeok from You Are So Lovely (such a good relationship — the development, the inner monologues, and how much they valued each other in their lives. So cute).
Muheun and Seungjoo from Night of the Unmarked (such a good story — the way they were both pining and yearning for each other no matter what, even against themselves).
Yikyung and Joobin from Sketch (OH MY GOD, THEY ARE SO GOOD — AND SO SEXY — TOGETHER. They bring out the best in each other, making their relationship shine. I love them so much).
Lee Yeon and Kihoon (the way they love each other… GOD, I LOVE THEM).
Shuraka and Tei from Blossoms of the White Knight (such good characters, great story).
Minato and Shizuma from Therapy Game (underrated for sure — they have such great arcs!).
Ikenie Monzenbarai (no instant-love connection; the relationship progresses naturally in a way that fits each character, and they’re so cute together).
Woojin from Love Jinx (I love a red flag who’s fully devoted to their partner).
Hmm, my favorite BLs change from time to time. Right now, my faves are in no particular order:
1. Passion: RAGA
- One of the PASSION series, but you don't need to read PASSION to get the gist of it
- Yuri x Xinlu
- From enemies to lovers troupe.
- Slowburn
- From red flag top to greenish-red, yes lol
- Nonchalant uke x Sassy & Dramatic seme
- Art is toptier
2. Kiss Me If You Can
- Part of the series in "Kiss Me Liar" and "Desire Me If You Can", but you don't need to read those to get the gist of it
- Crybaby Handsome Top x Badass Strong Omega
- Nothing much to say but—Josh, omega, is just soooooo likeable, while Chase Miller, alpha, is sooooo pretty.
- Art is toptier
3. Bad Apple
- Related to "Red Candy", but you don't need to read it to get the gist of it
- They're both screaming 'alphas' LOL. It's like watching an alpha x alpha troupe, but it's NOT omegaverse.
- It feels more top x top troupe, and it's good to see their banter and push n pull bcs no one seems want to back down.
- So much tension between the two of them
- Again, pretty top x badass strong bottom, but they I wish they switch tho LOL
OTHERS, which are my faves before but they are now completed:
1. Roses and Champagne
2. Payback
3. Checkmate (TAN)
4. Dangerous Convenience Store
5. Define the Relationship
6. Dear Benjamin
7. Ang Ang
8. Sacred Serpent's Seduction
9. When The Yakuza Falls In Love
10. Smyrna & Capri
Oh, I'm a sucker for badass bottoms, so expect they don't back down to a fight and aren't submissive. THEY'RE A FIGHTER!! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
i've been avoiding kiss me if you can like the plague because i heard it is a shared universe with many other stories and i hate that but every time i ask for recommendations it get mentioned so it seems like it fits all my preferences... ig it is time for me to read it! i'll also check the other ones, ty (=・ω・=)
this bad apple one seems really good hehe i love alpha x alpha (top x top) so i'll start reading it today. tbh i always avoid things that have shared universes, for some reason, but im curious (⊙…⊙ ) the first one has been in my list since foreverrr but im not really a big fan of enemies to lovers nor slowburn so idk when ill start it lol
THEY'RE BOTH GOOOD!!!
Well, if you're still unsure reading PASSION: Raga, just keep still in your reading list. You might want to read it some day, because it's also another goooood one. You'll be missing, if you haven't read it yet (≧∀≦)
If Bad Apple caught your attention—I SWEAR, READ.IT.NOW!!! The tension of them is literally trailblazing. If I were to explain in words my reaction to their chemistry, it's... this -> ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

who is your favorite bl mc? i've been in a weird mood lately, hating on the mcs of everything i read so pls share your favorites with me! ヾ(☆▽☆)
